Maid of Honor
Taylor & Alyson were born just 11 days apart, but on different continents. When Alyson first came to the U.S., Taylor’s house was her first home. This same home is where they spent many summers staying up too late giggling, talking about boys, coordinating outfits and watching Mary Kate & Ashley movies. Taylor was Alyson’s first best friend and they were often referred to as the “twin cousins”. Taylor went on to be a division 1 swimmer at University of Arkansas, now has a successful career in product development, and is recently married to Christopher Saunders! On top of those achievements, Taylor has grown up to be one of the kindest, smartest and funniest people on the planet. Even though she is only 11 days older, Taylor is someone Alyson has always looked up to. No matter how far apart they are, they will always be “twin cousins” at heart.
Maid of Honor
Hannah & Alyson met in the 6th grade on Alyson’s very first day at Throop Elementary. Hannah was assigned to show Alyson around the school and introduce her to her classmates. Little did Hannah know she would be helping Alyson with a lot more than just that. They spent their middle school & high school years side by side navigating dating, heartbreak, friendships, some very questionable fashion choices, and ultimately finding themselves. Now 15 years of friendship later, Hannah has a sweet baby boy and Alyson couldn’t be more excited to wear the title of “Aunt”. Tip: Watch out for her on the dancefloor ;)
Groomsman
Logan is Alyson’s God-brother. They spent many years of their childhood together, going to the same school and even living together at times. One of their favorite games to play together was Cowboys & Indians. Who would’ve thought he’d grow up to be a real life cowboy! He is also incredibly hard working, loyal and selfless. On top of that, he knows how to have a good time. Logan and Vincent are also both a part of the Eagle Scout brotherhood.
Bridesmaid
Savannah & Alyson first met when Logan (groomsman) brought her as a date to Alyson’s 23rd birthday party. It was love at first sight, and Alyson quickly realized that Savannah was the missing piece to their family. They have bonded over a mutual love for all things beauty, The Vampire Diaries and their dark sense of humor’s. Even before they knew each other very well, Savannah went out of her way to reach out and offer support to Alyson during difficult times. Not only is she just the coolest and the life of any party; she’s also the kindest and most supportive friend/sister a girl could ask for. Savannah & Logan are recently married and their wedding day was so magical and full of love. Their reception was actually where Vincent asked for Alyson’s mother’s blessing to propose (which she happily gave).
Groomsman
Randy is the younger brother of Matt (fellow groomsman). Vincent spent so much time in the Haskell household growing up, it is no wonder that they became friends in later years. As kids, they spent a lot of time on the trampoline and playing basketball. Vincent was always happy to take Randy under his wing and give him advice. In recent years, you can catch them chatting on xbox where Randy goes by his alter ego “Hodor”. Whenever Vincent is back in Jersey, he and Randy usually catch up over a game of golf or a round of beers. Randy was among the few of Vincent’s friends to know about his plan to propose to Alyson.
Bridesmaid
Donna is Alyson’s cousin on her father John’s side, but she has been more like a big sister to Alyson. Even though they’re oceans apart and don’t get to see each other as often as they’d like, whenever they do its like no time has passed. Donna has made every effort to stay connected, and she makes sure that Alyson knows England will always be her second home. Years ago, you could find them playing with Alyson’s dolls or laying in bed watching Friends. These days, you can probably find them together at the bar. Wherever they are, John is definitely watching over them and smiling.
Groomsman
Peter (AKA Petey-Pop) is Zoë’s Fiancé and high school sweetheart. The two of them together are truly a power couple and we can’t wait to celebrate their love next year! He is also one of the nicest, most down to earth guys you’ll ever meet. He has made Vincent’s job as a big brother easy by being a great partner to Zoë and an excellent addition to the Gallagher family!
Bridesmaid
Zoë is Vincent’s younger (but arguably cooler) sister! Zoë and Alyson met when Alyson visited New Jersey for the first time. Since then, they have bonded over family holidays and now planning their weddings together! Zoë is set to marry her high school sweetheart Peter (Groomsman) in April of 2024. A whole lot of love happening for the Gallagher family! :)
Groomsman
Vincent and Matt first became friends in the 6th grade. They were introduced to each other through Liam Reddy (Best Man) when he and Matt lived on the same street. They bonded over a mutual love for basketball and video games, specifically Rock Band in the Haskell basement. In later years, Vincent helped Matt get his first job at J Roosters where he was made to wear a rooster costume and hand out brochures. Despite any ups and downs, Vincent and Matt have always found a way to come back together. Matt is the kind of friend who will always support you and provide a shoulder to lean on (maybe its due to his Bachelor’s degree in psychology or his Master’s degree in cognitive neuroscience). Out of all of Vincent’s friends, Matt has always made an effort to welcome Alyson and has always been a strong supporter of their relationship.
Officiant
Steve (also known as “Uncle Stevie”) is Alyson’s uncle on her mother’s side. He has been a huge presence in Alyson’s life. He facilitated many family vacations that have now become some of Alyson’s favorite childhood memories. He always made a point to send Alyson home with an entire album full of pictures from their adventures. Those albums are now some of Alyson’s most treasured possessions. He is thoughtful, highly intelligent, hilarious and a man of many words. We know he is the perfect person to lead Vincent and Alyson into the great adventure that is marriage.
