Our Story

Photos

Best known as Lina (aka Bean) is Sophies younger sister. 
Lina has made quite the career for herself right out of college. After graduating from NC State, Lina moved to Texas to start her new job and shortly after, moved to California with her dog Captain. Even after moving across the country and had grown up sharing a room with Sophie, they are closer than ever! 

Angelina Santoro

Kylie and Sophie have been best friends since they were babies. Even through moving away, they have been close and kept a genuine friendship. Kylie is now attending East Carolina University for Occupational Therapy, striving and quickly making her way to the top! If you need dance lessons before the wedding, Kylie is your person!
Everyone needs a friend like Kylie! 

Kylie Ready

Kaitlin (sister of Kylie Ready) is another long-lasting friend of Sophie's. Growing up the Ready and Santoro families spent a lot of time together making the friendships special. 
Kaitlin is like an older sister to Sophie and taught her tons of important life material like music genres and movies choices.

Grace, sister of the Groom, became friends with Sophie while they worked together at Beaufort Linen Co in Beaufort. Grace is such a fun and lighthearted person to be around and is much loved by Sophie. Grace graduated from Meredith College and now works as a high school math teacher.

Grace Snipes

Ellen, sister of the Groom, recently graduated East Carolina University and is now pursuing her MBA. Ellen easily makes friends with anyone around her and shares the love of Morehead City with Sophie. Ellen is a go getter and the life of the party. You will see her out on the dance floor with a drink in her hand.

Jack is Will's younger (but bigger) brother. Will was so excited when he found out that he was going to have a younger brother to play baseball with. While Jack became the better baseball player (not an official concession), they now bond over golf, which Will has the upper hand at until Jack of course becomes better like he always does. Jack and Will have now become closer than ever and bond over watching the Redskins play on Sunday. Jack is now a student at ECU pursuing a career in Physical Therapy.

Kevin Devlin has been the best friend of Will since they were kids. They grew up two doors down from each other and became roommates at ECU for all four years. Kevin and Will don't live two doors down anymore, but only 20 minutes away as Kevin lives in Coats. He also helps run his family business, AGK Electric Company and enjoys riding his Harley in his free time.

Joseph, father of the groom is 1/2 (shoutout Mom) the reason Will grew into the man he is today. Will has always looked up to him and had the tendency to follow in his footsteps. From going to ECU, to becoming a Pharmaceutical Sales rep I would say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Everyone deserves to have a dad and role model as good as Joseph. 

Joseph Snipes

Charles is Will's older cousin from Potomac Maryland. Growing up, Charles and Will terrorized the Kerr family... or the other way around, that's up for debate. Charles and Will always got mistaken for brothers, which never bothered them cause they felt like they were anyways. Charles now lives in Potomac, while mainly traveling the world.
