OUR WEDDING OFFICIANT
Colleen Forgetta - Officiant
We couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect to marry us than Colleen Forgetta. Colleen is the mom of Stephen’s best friend (and one of his best men), but really, she’s been Stephen’s second mom since his college days at Saint Anselm. She’s seen it all - from Stephen (or “Muzz”, as she knows him best) hanging out for hours on her deck, to beach days that turned into late nights/weekends in Hampton, to surprising him with a Bud Light–cap cake for his 30th birthday.
Basically, if Colleen can handle all of that, she can definitely handle officiating our wedding. And while she may have earned her stripes through years of Stephen shenanigans, Jenn quickly bonded with her too - nothing brings people closer than accidentally getting lost together at the Boston St. Patrick’s Day parade.
So when it came time to choose our officiant, the decision was obvious. We’re so excited (and beyond lucky) to have Colleen by our side for our special day!
