Bridal Party
Melissa Owen, Matron of Honor
Melissa is Sarah’s big sister and the mother of the flower girl and ring bearer. Melissa lives in Coventry, Rhode Island with her husband Ben and children Ethan and Olivia. Mel is quite a crafter and wants to learn how to weld metal or create stained glass so if any of you know how, please share the knowledge.
Taylor Wilk, Best Man
Galen’s little brother. Taylor lives in Portland, Maine. Taylor’s passion for travel has taken him to Iceland, Peru, China, and other locations. All along his travels Taylor has shared his love of music and skateboarding.
Reed Allen, Groomsman
Reed is Galen’s childhood friend. Many days were spent playing Sega and Super Nintendo together in Reed's basement, mastering Madden 95 and NHL94. Reed still holds the record for broken game controllers over Galen. Reed lives in Maine with his beautiful daughter Adele and his girlfriend Nyla.
Keri Angus, Bridesmaid
Keri met Sarah while she attended Emerson with Galen. Keri is always ready for another adventure or light night beverage. Her only fault is believing Michael Jordan isn't one of the all-time best five basekball players. Keri lives in Cambridge, just blocks away from the wedding venue.
Nick Hennigar, Groomsman
Nick is Galen’s childhood friend. Nick lives just down the street from Galen and Sarah in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts with his girlfriend Holly. Nick and Galen have spent many hours together watching sports or horrible tv shows. Little did we know, watching Pawn Stars would ignite a passion in Nick to become a pawn shop owner.
Dan Hodgdon, Groomsman
Dan is Galen’s college friend. Dan lives in Memphis, Tennessee. Dan loves Nascar, the Red Sox, and basketball in no particular order. He also prefers his apple pie served with a side of cheese. Can you guess where Dan is from?
Laura Miller, Bridesmaid
Laura and Sarah met in grade school and have been friends for more than twenty years! Laura is also a huge reason why Galen and Sarah started dating. Laura now lives in Portland, Maine.
Nick Pereira, Groomsman
Nick and Galen met in college at Emerson. Nick lives in Rhode Island with his wife Megan. Nick hates cake (OMG, what? I KNOW!), so when you get your slice, don’t pass it off to him! Nick also hates Taylor Swift so keep him and Marcela away from each other!
Jeana Richard, Bridesmaid
Jeana taught Sarah how to cartwheel (or at least attempted to) in second grade when they met and their friendship was forever sealed by the grass stains on their awesome sweatsuits covered in bears and ribbons. Jeana lives in Westbrook, Maine with her fiancé Doug. Jeana loves cake, so maybe she can eat Nick P.’s slice! :)
Megahn Sant’Anna, Bridesmaid
Megahn and Sarah met at Galen’s family camp in Maine when Vini brought Megahn with him to meet the crew for the first time. It’s been love ever since (for Vini and for the crew!) Megahn and her husband Vini live down the street from Galen and Sarah with their adorable boston terrier, Beans (Sarah’s god-puppy).
Vini Sant’Anna, Groomsman
Vini and Galen met in college at Emerson. Vini lives in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts with his wife Megahn. Vini loves beer, especially Belgian Sour Ales, so find Vini for a recommendation at the bar. Vini loves beer so much that he wants to spend the rest of his life traveling between the Netherlands and Belgium drinking all the way.
Amy Schram, Bridesmaid
Amy and Sarah met after college. Amy and her husband Cody live in Peabody, Massachusetts. Amy is bubbling with love and excitement for life. Amy has a special connection with Disney and just might share some inside info on how to handle a princess if you ask nicely!
Cody Schram, Groomsman
Cody is Galen’s college friend and now co-worker. Cody lives in Peabody, Massachusetts with his wife Amy. Otherwise known as Abstrakt, Cody has some serious linguistic skills. Ask him to share his talent! When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, Cody answered: younger. Perhaps he’s the next Benjamin Button.
Marcela Wilk, Bridesmaid
Marcela is Galen’s sister. Marcela lives in Delaware and is currently a teacher in the Teach for America program. Marcela is a talker so ask her any question and you will probably get more than you bargained for. The best prank Marcela has ever pulled is convincing people she doesn’t pull pranks, so watch out for this one!
Family
Ethan Owen, Ring Bearer
Ethan is Sarah’s nephew and one of her greatest joys. Being an auntie is the best! :) Ethan will turn six about a month after the wedding. He would love to tell you about his birthday party theme if you want to ask. Ethan is full of energy and loves to be active. Definitely try to get him to show off his awesome dance moves.
Olivia Owen, Flower Girl
Olivia is Sarah’s niece and the other one of her greatest joys. Olivia will be four during the wedding. She loves organizing things, bubbles, and licking the spoon while helping bake something. Wonder where she gets that from?!
David Baldwin, Father of the Bride
David will be walking Sarah down the aisle and showing off his moves during the father/daughter dance. David lives in Hyannis, Massachusetts with his husband, Jim. David wants to learn to play the piano one day so maybe you should ask him to try out his skills during dinner?!
Jan Keiper, Mother of the Groom
Jan is a life-long teacher and educator who lives in Sebago, Maine. Jan loves to dance so you will definitely see her out on the dance floor.
Peter Wilk, Father of the Groom
Peter is a psychiatrist and lives in Portland, Maine. An avid amateur photographer, beware that he may try to take your portrait and he will take as long as it takes to make sure it is perfect.
