Wedding Party
Alisha Chase
Matron of Honor
Kristen struck roommate gold when Alisha relocated to Boston from Cincinnati, and moved into Kristen's apartment in Southie. For the first few months, Kristen wasn't around much due to ski season, but come that first summer, Alisha and Kristen bonded over their love of warm weather, prosecco, all things shiny, and the Kiki and Lele adventures began! Alisha will undoubtedly keep the champagne flowing, and the dance party going at the wedding!
David Halbert
Best Man
Dave and Mike became friends in the 4th grade after Dave moved from Cincinnati to Framingham, MA. If it wasn't for Dave, Mike would have easily won the Framingham Elementary National Geographic Geography contest. But it's hard to beat a kid who slept with an atlas under his pillow. Mike's now got his payback by stealing Dave's wedding anniversary date for his own wedding. I'm sure you'll all be reminded of this during his Best Man speech. PS- if you don't have a friend yet from Cincy, Kristen and Mike highly recommend it- can't go wrong.
Andi Cocozza
Bridesmaid
Andi and Kristen have been "friends since the sandbox", as Andi likes to say! Andi's older sisters were counselors at Kristen's summer camp, and they met on the playground. Since then, they've been best friends, and shared countless memories at St. Augustine's (for elementary and middle school), Ocean City High, and on the Boardwalk. Kristen is thrilled to have Andi by her side for the biggest day in her life yet!
Andrew Rubinger
Groomsman
Andy and Mike sat down next to each other on the first day of 1st grade. That was that. Since then, they've had their share of moments: drinking their 1st beer at 15 while in a night club in Russia; stranding a boat on a sandbar in the Gulf of Mexico; and sky-diving in Arizona where Mike's primary chute failed. Andy's sure the bachelor party in New Orleans will be smooth sailing.
Amy Fleischer
Bridesmaid
Kristen can't wait to finally have Amy as a sister! While Greg is certainly her favorite brother, he doesn't share a love for wonderfully terrible reality TV shows and high-end consignment shops like Amy and Kristen do. Amy has been an incredibly thoughtful and supportive person in the entire wedding process so far and Kristen can't imagine marrying into the Fleischer Family without Amy standing by her side!
Greg Jones
Groomsman
Mike is excited to have Greg as a brother! (Mike always wanted a brother, but for some reason his parents said that him and Amy were already too much for them to handle- so no deal). Although the Eagles beat Mike's beloved Patriots last year, Greg was kind enough not to rub it in too much- which meant a lot to Mike. Mike's looking forward to joining Greg on future outdoor adventures and learning the finer techniques of tuna fishing from this skilled fisherman.
Sarah Rogers
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Kristen went to Ocean City high school together, but it wasn't until Kristen started at Northeastern, where Sarah was already a sophomore, that they officially met! Sarah recruited and convinced Kristen to join Delta Zeta. They soon became close friends, serving on DZ's executive board together, and were roommates after college in Cambridge. Sarah is a true friend, one who's always up for fun, but also is there for support. Kristen couldn't imagine her wedding day without Sarah by her side.
Jason Prelack
Groomsman
Jason and Mike also met each other in 1st grade. It was a strong draft class that year. Mike has Jason to thank for teaching him how to ski. Jason (a former ski racer at Boston University) took Mike to the top of Waterville Valley, sent him down a Black Diamond, and watched it play out. Mike slid down most of the mountain on his butt, but Jason was there by his side coaching and encouraging him to avoid the rocks and trees. This tradition continues today.
Katherine Tarantino
Bridesmaid
Katherine is the "Kitty" to Kristen's "Kiki"! Katherine and Kristen met sophomore year at Northeastern University through their sorority, Delta Zeta. They both served on DZ's executive board, and bonded over dealing with all the craziness that running a sorority entails! Katherine's kindness and fun-loving spirit make it hard not to love her, and Kristen is thrilled to have her as a bridesmaid!
Rajiv Jenveja
Groomsman
Raj lived next door to Mike and Ryan during their freshman year at Penn, and they were later roommates for the rest of college (along with Ryan and James). Post-college, Mike and Raj lived together again for three years in San Francisco where Mike went to law school. Despite never attending a class, Raj received a honorary law degree after spending endless hours listening to Mike practice his moot court arguments.
Kelly Overmyer
Bridesmaid
Kelly and Kristen are more than just sorority sisters, they are Big and Little! They had an instant friendship when Kelly joined as a new member of Delta Zeta at Northeastern University in 2010, and Kelly has been such an important part of Kristen's life ever since! As sassy blondes from New Jersey, there are countless memories of fun times they have shared together so Kristen couldn't imagine this important milestone without Kelly there.
Ryan Hines
Groomsman
Ryan was Mike's freshman year roommate. Since Ryan was from Connecticut, Mike's first question to him was: Red Sox or Yankees? Luckily, Ryan responded correctly, and they were fast friends from there.
Sadie
Flower Girl
Sadie is Mike's second cousin and the biggest 3 year old Red Sox fan we know. Her favorite player is Mookie Betts- just ask her!
James Treanor
Groomsman
James lived across the hall from Mike and Ryan freshman year. James spent his summers in college, and his entire junior year, traveling between Russia, China, and Central Asia. Since he also spoke five languages, the guys were convinced that James was in the CIA. They still do.
Meara
Flower Girl
Meara is Mike's 3 year old god-daughter and Dave's eldest daughter. Mike and Meara share a kindred love of playing in the chilly New England waves in the summer- and Dave and Kristen couldn't be happier while they watch from the dry sunny shore.
Rev. Lois K. Adams
Officiant
Reverend Lois is Dave's mom. The Adams/Halbert clan has been family to the Fleischers since the early 90s, and Kristen and Mike are thrilled to have Rev. Lois officiate their wedding, and play such a key role in their vows.
