BETH GALLAGHER - MAID OF HONOR
Molly's sister and first enemy, forever best friend will be her maid of honor. From brushing her hair as a child to helping her through her worst days as an adult, Beth has proven to be everything a big sister should be. Molly cannot wait to relive their days acting out Dirty Dancing as children on the dance floor of the wedding.
BRIGITTE DUFFY - BRIDESMAID
Molly's cousin, though definitely adopted sister, will be a bridesmaid for the big day. Never one to shy away from a dance party, be sure to tune in to the dance floor after the wedding to see all of Brigitte's talents on display.
SHARI LEVY - BRIDESMAID
Shari is self-described as Molly's soulmate, she just lets Matt pretend to be. Shari is Molly's best friend from Philadelphia and their bond has proven to be unshakeable no matter the miles between them.
MARISSA CHIUMENTO - BRIDESMAID
Molly's first friend from middle school, the one who talked her out of the bangs she got and hated, keeper of secrets - Marissa has been there through it all. Molly can't wait to see West Scranton High School's Best Dressed 2005 at the wedding.
CASSIE SCHWEIGHOFER RONEKER - BRIDESMAID
Matt's friend from elementary school through college. Matt worked on Cassie's family farm during the summers in high school. From sheering sheep to Cornell, Matt and Cassie have been through thick and thin. Matt paid for Cassie's wedding reception (at Wahoo's, a local ice cream shop). Here's hoping she returns the favor...
MIKE MATERN - BEST MAN
Matt and Mike go way back, back to YMCA day camp, in fact. Back when Magic the Gathering was for the cool kids, and the worst punishment that could be doled out was "five minutes out of the pool." Despite each being an only child, they have been like brothers ever since.
RYAN GALLAGHER - GROOMSMEN
Molly's brother. He may have saved her from a fire once but he also gave her many black and blue marks growing up, so we'll call it even. Molly loves him almost as much as Matt does and can't wait to dance to Mariah Carey's Hero on June 8th!
SEAN GALLAGHER - GROOMSMEN
Molly's oldest brother (by one minute) will be there for the big day and she can't picture her day any other way. He's been "the responsible one" her whole life, though hopefully not for the after party.
RON SOLOMON - GROOMSMEN
Despite being Molly's Temple friend first, Ron and Matt became close while working on civil rights cases together. Matt and Ron bonded through fighting the man and suing the Government, and holding the police accountable (don't tell the cop in the bridal party).
BEN STANTON - GROOMSMEN
To say Matt and Ben are partners in crime would be somewhat misleading. They are more partners in defending the accused. Matt met Ben at the Luzerne County Public Defender's Office. Ben's passionate defense of the indigent was so evident and inspiring, Matt asked him to work with him in private practice.
MIKE BRENNAN - OFFICIANT
Molly's best friend (she stole him from John way back when). He is Mary's godfather and the person that has always been appointed to carry out our "Charlie Work" (see: being Mary's godfather) so why should the wedding be any different? Mike is one of the most special people in our lives and not only because of the way he has continuously shown up for us. You can definitely catch Jack looking up to him (despite being about two inches taller).
