Wedding Party

Claire Richards

Maid of Honor

Laura's younger sister. When you have the same sense of humor, look enough alike to get mistaken for each other and unlock each other's phones, share clothes, and know you always have someone to call when you need them even when you're in different time zones.. what else is there to say!

Tina Leung

Bridesmaid

Laura and Tina met at UVM during their sophomore year. Believe it or not, they were in a sorority together for a little while! Tina is a wonderful friend to both Laura and Ben and a beloved auntie to Lamb and Louis. She's like family, and the extra bedroom at Laura and Ben's house is also known as Tina's room. Tina is always up for adventures, and she has an adorable cat named Topaz who you should ask her about!

Mary Kate Ranii

Bridesmaid

When Laura was new to her middle school in Pittsburgh, Mary Kate waved to her on the bus and invited her to share a seat. They've been friends ever since! So many high school memories -- orchestra retreats, chemistry class, spending our free time at Alex's house and eating all of her ice cream... We called the three of us the O'Hara Triangle since that's how our houses would connect on a map. Mary Kate is an environment whiz and one of the kindest people you'll ever meet.

Alex Wiley

Bridesmaid

The other point on the O'Hara Triangle. Alex's family opened up their home to us for countless sleepovers and movie nights, and we really did eat a LOT of ice cream. Alex and Laura took Spanish classes together all through high school, and they spent a month in Barcelona when they were 18! (Lucky for Laura, Alex has a great sense of direction and a talent for planning and organization!) Alex also has an adorable cat - named Poopie - who you should ask her about!

Annie Richards

Officiant

Laura's older sister. Witty, good looking, makes Laura laugh super hard even when the joke is on her, and great with a microphone in hand. Ben and Laura knew they wanted Annie to be their officiant pretty much as soon as they got engaged!

Chip and Terry Richards

Father and Mother of the Bride

Michael and Alice Cadieux

Father and Mother of the Groom

Ben Allen

Groomsman

Ben and Ben met in college. They lived on the same floor of the same dorm, were in the same major, had almost the same class schedule freshman year (every year for that matter), are both from Vermont and share the same first name. It's almost as if Wentworth knew that they were almost the same person and needed to ensure that they met. Since then, the Bens have been great friends and have had many great adventures together: skiing on a glacier in Vancouver, searching for the northern lights in Iceland, celebrating new years in London, and mountain biking throughout Vermont to name a few. The adventures of the Bens isn't over yet!

Rich Lupa

Groomsman

Ben and Rich met at Wentworth. They met in one of their first college courses and decided to work on a group project together. It was while working on this project that Ben first learned that the Rich was fluent in Polish after he had an impromptu conversation on his phone in Polish in the middle of the library... tsk, tsk Richard.. Talk to Rich while at the wedding and try to hear an accent, I dare you! Rich also works on nuclear submarines, but he isn't allowed to talk to you about them... for some reason.

Adam Robert

Groomsman

"How much does a polar bear weigh?... Enough to break the ice!... Hi, I'm Adam Robert." That is a quote from Adam's first presentation in college and is also Ben's earliest memory of him. Ben and Adam were both in the same major at Wentworth, lived together on campus for a few years, and worked on many school projects together; luckily Adam never started a presentation like that again! Adam is the reason why Ben is completely bald today. In 2013, Ben was visiting Adam and after a few beers told him that he was considering shaving his head. Adam said, "Let's do it!", grabbed his hair clippers and gave Ben the hairdo you see today!

Leo Cakounes

Ring Bearer

Ben and Laura's 2 year old nephew. Loves trucks and anything mechanical. He's pretty stellar at counting and has been known to fly around the house with Uncle Ben's assistance.

Lamb

Poodle of the Bride and Groom

Lamb enjoys being a princess, refusing food, getting all of the love, and biting feet.

Louis

Poodle of the Bride and Groom

Louis loves Squeaky Rainbow Floof.

Bunjamin

Rabbit of the Bride and Groom

Bunjamin enjoys chewing carpets, power cords and baseboards.
