Lindsey Meyer
Maid of Honor
Mallory will always remember the first day she met her BFF Lindsey as an undergrad student at Lesley University. Mallory and Lindsey instantly bonded through passing notes in class and often getting into trouble for it! They moved in together, and shared countless memories, uncontrollable laughing fits, shopping extravaganzas, kitten adoptions, and moments together as best friends and roommates, that neither one of them will ever forget. Mallory is an only child, but Lindsey is family and the sister that Mallory always dreamed of having. She is honored and so excited to have Lindsey as her maid of honor.
Julia Sousa
Bridesmaid
Mallory met Julia as an undergraduate student at Lesley and they shared countless Early Childhood Education classes together and many laughs and memories along the way. Mallory is always in awe of Julia's incredible fashion sense and kindness and caring for others which shows in her work as a teacher. Their friendship continues to grow and grow and Mallory knows she has a true forver friend with Julia!
Miss Bea
Ring Bearer
The prettiest, sweetest, labby girl who may just steal the spotlight walking down the aisle!!
Meet Our Wedding Party!
Marissa Smith
Bridesmaid
Mallory met Marissa as a graduate student at Lesley, in which they sat next to one another through countless counseling classes and took many shopping breaks along the way. Mallory and Marissa often joke about how they are living parallel lives! They share a love for all things beachy and nautical and dream about going into private practice as therapists with each other one day!
Eric Madsen
Groomsman
Michael met Eric and his husband Chet when he met Mallory. They all took a trip to True Bistro, a vegan restaurant, and bonded over their compassion based beliefs toward animals. Eric and Mallory reminisced about their Interior Design days at Newbury College and the stories and memories that brought them together. Since that first dinner, there have been adventures through the haunted streets of Cambridge, dog gatherings, many shared coctails, and other countless get-togethers. If you are in need of any interior design advice, Eric is the expert!
Matt Barrows
Groomsman
Michael did not meet Matt, he met Flounder. Flounder’s older brother (who gave him the nickname) introduced them almost 15 years ago at the hardware store where Michael worked. Michael and Flounder were so inseparable that everyone in downtown Melrose thought they were the cutest couple they had ever seen. Clearly that wasn’t the case! Flounder is now happily married with two beautiful daughters. Throughout the years they have shared many trips and milestones including graduating from the same college (many years after they should have!) Although sometimes weeks will pass before they have a chance to reach out to one another, when they do, the bond is still there.
Andre Biryukov
Groomsman
Michael was introduced to Andre through Jared. Andre and Jared worked as computer programmers at the same company and they shared a silly sense of humor that the rest of the office did not understand. Luckily Michael did! Andre has become a very close friend to Michael. The late nights out have simmered down to a weekly dinner and Mallory has come to understand that a dinner with Andre will last many more hours than she anticipated. Michael and Andre enjoy their tech talk and a good silly laugh.
Joe Gaudet
Best Man
Joe claims to have met Michael several years before Michael remembers, but a few years later Michael met Joe a second time and they have been great friends ever since. Michael was honored that Joe agreed to be his best man. Before Joe and Michael met their wife and wife-to-be, they would see each other several times a week and bond over card games, magic tricks, trips to the beach, and Joe’s impressions. As an actor, Joe’s outgoing personality is easy to get along with and underneath the acting and the impressions he is a thoughtful compassionate man. Joe and his wife Anna are both great friends of Mallory and Michael. The four enjoy getting together for dinners and movies and now that they each have two rescue dogs, the eight of them enjoy sharing the evenings together.
Anna Gaudet
Bridesmaid
Mallory met Anna through Michael's best friend Joe and she instantly knew that she and Anna would be great friends. Anna continues to inspire Mallory with her passion and gift for home remodeling and design and they share the common bond that they will never truly be on the inside of Michael and Joe's jokes! Anna honored Mallory by asking her to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, and it brings Mallory so much joy to have Anna as a bridesmaid in her wedding, too!
Chester Kozikowski
Groomsman
Michael met Chet and his husband Eric through Mallory. Chet has become a great friend of Michael’s and has supported him through the years including his helpful career advice. Michael will always get a kick out of Chet’s sarcastically dry sense of humor. Chet and Eric have been a staple in Michael and Mallory’s relationship and the strength of Chet and Eric’s bond has contributed to the growth of Michael and Mallory’s relationship.
Mr. Knox
Ring Bearer
A sweet, mischevious, rescue pup, who loves to dig in the sand and give lots of puppy kisses to whoever comes near - beware!!
Jared Peddle
Groomsman
Michael was introduced to Jared just after high school. The summer after graduation they took a trip to NY which proved to be the first of many. Since then, Michael and Jared have been close friends. With Michael’s ideas and Jared’s computer skills, they ran a computer company for a short while. Back in the proverbial "day,” they frequented all of Boston and Tampa’s nightlife hotspots. Jared now lives in DC and the two have stayed very close reconnecting when they are each in town.
