Maid of Honor
Kate and Xio have been friends for nearly 20 years. They met in elementary school. They have spent countless hours together playing video games, eating far too many packets of instant ramen, accidentally lighting the kitchen on fire (Donna...look away...) and most importantly - laughing through it all. Xio is incredibly talented - she plays flute, sings in her local choir, is a licensed cosmetologist with an affinity for makeup, and is currently pursuing an education in dental assisting. Xio has a wholesome smile, a giving heart, and is always thinking of others, which makes her the perfect Maid of Honor.
Best Man
Devyn and Nate have been friends for 13 years. They met in high school, where they were part of the robotics team. They have spent much of their time together during robotics, fixing cars, doing junk yard runs, and mountain biking. Nate graduated from URI with a degree in mechanical engineering and is currently working for Raytheon. Along with being friends with Devyn, Nate is also good friends with Kate. Nate was Devyn and Kate's housemate for a little over a year before he bought his first home with his girlfriend Kaitlin. Nate will drop everything to help out others and is knowledgeable about nearly everything (and Kate will challenge him on all of it).

Anyone that knows Kayla, knows she is a fiercely loyal friend.
Groomsman
Devyn and CJ have been friends for nearly 20 years. They met in elementary school. CJ was Devyn’s first friend, until Devyn “stole” CJs girlfriend in middle school.

Since then they have spent countless hours playing all sorts of online multiplayer games together. CJ is passionate about wildlife, photography, drawing, and he is an excellent chef.
Bridesmaid
Manda and Kate met in elementary school and have been friends ever since. Though they have wildly different personalities, they have a friendship that has stood the test of time and they balance each other out. They've grown up together, loved together, eaten far too many chicken patties together, and lost together. Manda is a free spirit and will surely keep Kate's anxieties at bay with her cool demeanor, both at the wedding and for the rest of their lives.
Groomsman
Devyn and Jared have been friends for about 11 years. They met through mutual friends. After high school, Jared hosted many “bro nights” at his house - all the guys got together and played video games, card games, and yard games. When there was any question where Devyn had gone the answer always seemed to be, “He went to Jared’s.”
Bridesmaid
Leah is Devyn's younger sister. Through a similar sense of humor, Kate and Leah have grown close over the years, despite being 10 years apart in age. They've spent many family vacations and countless family dinners and parties together. Kate has grown to regard Leah as her own sister, and looks forward to seeing her pursue her dreams at Nichols College in the fall with her major in International Business.
Officiant
Lincoln has been a friend of both Kate and Devyn for many years. He was on the Burrillville High School robotics team with Devyn, and suffered through AP Biology with Kate. Lincoln has always brightened every room he's entered, and he's been asked to perform multiple marriage ceremonies for his friends. Lincoln is a great friend and will make a wonderful officiant.
