Joshua & Daniel
Wedding Party
Anthony Zraly
Joshua's Best Man
Anthony met Josh at the ripe age of 17, a few months before they embarked on an international journey to the University of St Andrews. Josh will never let down the fact that he is still to this day, the only friend who has literally climbed through two windows on two separate occasions for Mr. Zraly. The duo have shared over a decade of loyal, fabulous, and hysterical friendship with a deeply shared mutual interest in luxury travel, the rhetoric of Chloë Sevigny, men's fashion, political scandals, wearing sunglasses indoors (and outdoors in inclement weather), and testing the limits of others. Anthony could not be more thrilled to stand by Josh’s side as he celebrates his extraordinary partnership with DJ.
Francesca Altamura
Daniel's Best Woman
The story behind Francesca and Daniel's seasoned courtship begins one-year into studying at the University of St. Andrews. After a perfect first-year with his live-in darling Joshua, and a less than fruitful search for a sensible companion amongst aristocrats, DJ accosted Frankie at a dinner party. "Why don't I know you!?” Following a twenty-one questions style interrogation, Francesca and Daniel began their predestined lives together, founding the spooOOOooky clown-wave-clan, slothing over Shitmas movies before Thanksgiving and living every waking moment inspired by the eccentricity of Auntie Mame. Of all the Franks in Daniels life, it is, frankly, original Frankie who has won his handsome heart.
Sophia Porotsky
Joshua's Maid of Honor
Sophia met Josh through Anthony (The Best Man duh) nearly ten years ago at the University of St Andrews. Sophia was Josh and Anthony's "academic mother," and despite her tender years, did the best she could to show them the ropes at St Andrews. Sophia and Josh were drawn to each other because of their bold senses of humor and mutual appreciation for extravagant loafers. However, their affinity didn't end there! Whether it was staying up all night watching GRIMES music videos, or staying up all night spitballing Russian collusion conspiracy theories (which ended up not being conspiracy theories), Sophia and Josh shared a kooky bond that has endured all these years. Sophia is certainly a proud academic mama, and very much looking forward to watching Josh and DJ tie the knot.
Genevieve Gralton
Daniel's Maid of Honor
Genevieve and DJ became close friends their third and fourth years at the University of St. Andrews. While they first bonded over hailing from the great state of Massachusetts, they quickly realized they had much more in common. Both come from large (primarily female) families and both have the ability to recreationally stress out. However, while at school, the stress subsided with the help of one another, hours at the library, gym dates, Genevieve accompanying DJ on one his two-a-days, haus parties, and time spent preparing for a student fashion show. While their friendship spans the east coast, with DJ in Boston and Genevieve in DC, Genevieve's preference is to always be by DJ's side (from the DONT WALK runway to the most important runway yet, the aisle).
Michaela Stowell
Joshua's Sister & Groomswoman
Michaela is the groom’s younger sister, #1 fan in life, partner in all things criminal, and best friend. Although living a bit far from one another, she knows he’s always got her back and she’s always got his.
Hollister Ream
Daniel's Groomswoman
Holly and DJ became close friends during their junior year of high school on a summer volunteer trip to West Virginia. They instantly bonded over their love for Britney Spears and formed their legendary duo "Team Gorgeous" which has stuck around ever since. From taking trips to LA to visit Holly's sister to glamping in New Hampshire with their fellow "manatees" to watching silly teen girl movies that Josh never approves of, Holly and DJ have shared so many memories together throughout the years and will always remain as close as family.
Samantha Dettorre
Joshua's Groomswoman & Daniel's Sister
Samantha first met Josh a little while after he and DJ started dating, when he waltzed right into the middle of an intense living room movie viewing and wasn’t afraid to crack a joke in front of all 5 Ball girls. She knew then that he was a keeper and someone she was blessed to have as a member of their family. Samantha is so thankful Josh is a part of her and her brother’s lives and she can’t wait to celebrate their marriage!
Elizabeth Liebert
Daniel's Sister & Groomswoman
Lizzy loved growing up with DJ, but they became even closer after high school. Lizzy loves seeing her big brother so happy and is excited to have Josh officially part of the family.
Kerri Adams
Joshua's Groomswoman
About 14 years ago, Kerri met a wildly handsome and outgoing fellow at a Middle School soccer game. Josh's charisma was contagious and the two bonded over his hilarious way of teasing his friend Courtney, who happened to be Kerri’s sister. Quickly, the whole Adams family fell in love with Josh's sense of humor and he was inducted (also abducted.. sorry Kathleen and Rob!) as a member of the family. Kerri could not be more excited to be by Josh's side as he marries the love of his life who had long ago received the Adams family stamp of approval.
George Fraser
Daniel's Groomsman
George first met DJ when a group of friends were all going to a St. Andrews fashion show. DJ was in the crowd that night so little did George know he was meeting the future star of Dont Walk. From drinking and having fun together late into the evening to getting up early and working together, DJ and George have shared a lot of fun memories together and have been great friends over the years.
Courtney Adams
Joshua's Groomswoman
Josh and Courtney met at the Fraser-Woods School when he was in 7th grade. Courtney was drawn to his frosted tips and sass. This very ill-advised crush turned into a life long friendship. She is so excited to be a part of Josh and DJ’s wedding!
Alistair Cummings
Daniel's Groomsman
Alistair and DJ met each other at the University of St. Andrews where they ended up as neighbors living a 2 minute walk down Market Street from each other. A notable trip they went on was with Josh and Frankie (amongst others) when they travelled together to their friend Bella’s house in Cannes for an amazing grad trip that had the right balance of culture and revelry (and for some reason featured RUN-D.M.C.’s “Rock Box” on repeat). After college, DJ and Alistair both moved back to Boston and are still drinking buddies and bugle enthusiasts.
Haroutioun Kotchinian
Joshua's Groomsman
It all started at a New Year’s Eve party many years ago. Since then we’ve shared many adventures and laughs. To my bromosexual partner, I wish you, DJ, and Ms. Lady Franklin all the best.
Sylvan LaChance
Daniel's Groomswoman
Ever since he walked her home 8 miles from school in the seventh grade, DJ and Sylvan have been best friends. They’ve made it through the wildest of adventures, and will always be there for each other, no matter how many miles stand in between.
Jessica Finger
Joshua's Groomswoman
Jessica met Josh on the first day of high school orientation and have been close friends ever since. Together, they survived the awkward years of Josh's frosted tips and Jessica's ill-fitting clothes. From trips to Europe and Asia to skydiving, there's not much this duo hasn't done. Jessica couldn't be more excited to stand by Josh at his marriage to DJ.
Matthew Hochrein
Joshua's Groomsman
Matthew and Joshua have been friends since their Canterbury days. After varsity rowing captainships, surviving Josh’s driving skills, confused girlfriends, coming out, graduation, shipping off to college, and countless other experiences together; Matt is grateful to have such a loyal friend as Joshua. Matt can still remember how first talking about DJ made Josh light up... not necessarily an easy feat if you know Josh well. 10+ years later, it is certainly clear that love-at-first-sight is real for this couple. Congratulations!
