This friendship started in health class where Kennedy would not stop talking to Deanna, even if Deanna would not talk back and thought this girl was a complete weirdo. Now 16 years later, they have been through all the major milestones together, the good and the bad, and Kennedy could not ask for a better person to have by her side on her big day.

There’s so much to say about what this friendship means to the both of them. They grew up on the same street Kevin moved there in 3rd grade. It’s hard to even pick a moment when they knew that they were gonna be best friends. From riding bikes, camping, and daredevil things (Chris may not have wanted to do these) to a crazy few years living in Patchogue and now finding love. Chris has been around Kevin at all the moments in his life and Kevin couldn’t imagine anyone else standing next to him as he marries Kennedy.

Nick and Kevin met while Kevin was attending Briarcliffe University. Kevin decided to rush Alpha Phi Delta. Even though the first time they met, Nick referred to Kevin as “the old Kevin” and didn’t care if he even pledged. Nick and Kevin’s friendship grew during the Mets playoff run in 2015. Now 9 years later, hundreds of Mets games, brewery trips, and nights drinking here and there. He’s become another one of Kevin’s best friends!

Kennedy met Laura when she was just in a car seat, but Laura quickly became the person Kennedy turned to for the blunt truth, since Laura does not hold back. This makes her the perfect person to turn to for wedding advice.

Kennedy met Renee when she was this quiet and shy kid. Now that they are older their friendship has greatly developed and Renee is the person that will always go out of her way for others.

While Amanda is Kevin's sister, Kennedy considers her just as much hers. Kennedy has always been the big sister, so it is nice to have one of her own! They always have a great time hanging out and Amanda has always made sure Kennedy feels like part of the family.

As Kennedy's stepsister, they met when Kennedy was 18 and Lauren was 12. And unlike typical step-siblings, they quickly became close friends, developing a true sisterly bond. While they do not get to see each other often, Kennedy knows Lauren is always there when she needs her.

Gianna is Kennedy's little sister, although not so little anymore. Kevin and Kennedy could not imagine their day without her part of it.

Kevin first met Tyler actually because of Tyler's mother. Tyler was coming home from college and looking for work, so Kevin hired Tyler for that summer and became close. There might be a 10-year difference between them but Tyler is now one of Kevin's closet friends. Tyler and Kevin also bowl together on the same team! (The Drunken Goldfish)

Kevin and Dave enjoy giving each other shit as much as possible, Beating the other in drinking games, and arguing about nonsense(“for fire”), Jersey smells, The Rangers Suck. But, you’re pretty alright though. Kevin is so glad that Nick found someone as awesome as Dave to spend his life with and is glad he became so close to Dave as well!

Kevin may be one of the only people who still call him Joey. Kevin and Joey have been friends since Cub Scouts. Kevin and Joey's families are all very close. Joey's twin sisters were best friends with Kevin's sister. And their Moms are best friends also! The families have spent many Christmas Eve together!

Laura and Kevin became friends while tailgating at Mets games with The 7 Line Army. Mainly because Bella wanted to pet Shea and Kevin is so thankful for that! Laura also agreed drunkenly to sell her house to Kevin which is now where Kennedy and Kevin are going to start their future! Laura calls Kevin the little brother she never had.

AJ is Kennedy's little brother, but Kevin is exited to be gaining a little brother in AJ. AJ is always willing to help out with their grandparents however needed and Kevin has enjoyed watching him grow up over the years.

There’s so much to say about this little ball of energy. Maybe not so little anymore though. Bellas at 8 years old was Shea's best friend at the Mets tailgates. When younger and still now as a teenager she’s always smiling, giving the biggest and best hugs ever. Kennedy and Bella share their love of books and have been known to trade a book or too.

Elvis is Laura's husband, so during all the Met games where Laura and Kevin got so close, Elvis was there too, just DJing. And after years of Mets games and Islander games, Kevin and Elvis have grown close as well. So close that while walking into an Islander game, Kevin asked him if he was an officiant and now here we are.

It would not be a true wedding without Shea part of it! Especially since she is the reason Kennedy and Kevin found each other. She will likely be stealing the limelight with her cuteness.

Simba will be celebrating from home. However, if he attended the event he would be sure that no one got too close to Kevin, offering true security.

These girls will be celebrating from home, but are still an important part of our wedding party!
