Maid of Honor

Emilee Gowrie

Emilee, Ali’s younger and wiser sister and consistent voice of reason, will be the maid of honor.  Em is known for being the most compassionate and incredible elementary school teacher and having the most contagious belly laugh. You’ll most likely find her on the dance floor all night.

Bridesmaids

Ashley Metz

Ashley is Ali’s big sister and someone who Ali has looked up to all her life— for her passion, her sense of humor, and her ability to bring an abundance of energy to any room she walks into. Ashley has been a consistent witness to all of Ali’s big milestones, and she will be a big part in this one as well.

Shelby Casner

Shelby is Ali’s best friend from high school. They met in middle school and navigated their way through their teenage years hand in hand. Shelby has a way of turning any story into a stand-up comedy skit, with her stark impersonalizations and loud sense of humor.

Jessie Marshall

Ali Met Jessie during her junior year at Roger Williams university, where they lived across the hall from one another and bonded over their love for rapper J. Cole and leaving literally any social event early. Since, Jessie has been a constant shoulder to lean on and a consistent light in Ali’s life.

Melodi Ramirez

Mel and Ali met at their time working for GoDaddy in Austin, Texas. They quickly bonded over their love for music (shoutout Rufus Du Sol), and Mel would often bring Ali as her plus one to the concerts she would photograph. Despite the physical distance between them, they typically don’t go a day without talking.

Lilah Freeburg

Lilah is Ali’s “baby” cousin who Ali has had the privilege of growing up close with and watching her become the sweet and smart young lady that she is. From feeding Lilah bottles, to eventually growing and becoming her friend, each memory made between the two has brought Ali much joy.

Heather Tricarico

Heather is Chris’s older sister and the mother of the flower girl. In Chris’s eyes, she has always been a sweet, bubbly, and incredibly strong person who shows up to every big event and consistently screams the loudest. She’s the type of person who will give you the shirt off her back and teach you exactly how she made it.

Flower Girls

Summer

Summer is Chris’s niece. She is sweet like her mother, artistic, and silly.

Carson

Carson is Shelby’s sweet baby girl. She’s a baby, yet she can throw just like her mother.

Officiant

Scott Gowrie

Scott is one of the brightest lights in both Ali and Chris’s lives. With his pure and strong grasp on what love should look like, and the way he embodies it in everything he does, both in his relationships and his career, Chris and Ali are honored to have the best person imaginable help make their commitment to each other official.

Best Man

Tom Cahill

Chris and Tom have had the greatest fortune of being “best friend cousins” since day one. Tom has always been a philosophical magnet pulling everyone around him down to earth, while continuously making them laugh and smile with his contagious personality. Proven time after time, Tom and Chris always have each other to lean on, reaffirming the truest friendship. 

Groomsmen

Brendan Patton 

Brendan is consistently outgoing and his sarcastic yet intelligent sense of humor will shine a light in a room as bright as he is. Being Chris’s closest brother, the pair has been inseparable since childhood, and that same brotherly love holds true to this day. They’re so close, they even finish each others sen…

Bobby Patton 

Bobby is one of the most kind hearted and empathetic role models, and an incredible older brother to Chris. The two have always blended seamlessly throughout life, and Bobby is always willing to do what it takes to help his little brother out no matter the circumstances. 

Adrian Cruz 

Adrian and Chris met shortly after Chris and Ali started dating, however it would seem as if their friendship spans a lifetime. He embodies the word “compassionate” and his ability to melt away your stress and negativity with a single hug is unmatched and, that’s usually how you’ll find the two whenever they get together.  

Avery McNamara 

Avery and Chris were introduced to each other before Ali and Chris had even begun dating. To say the friendship between them was instantaneous is a wild understatement. Always found with a warming smile and a quick witted joke, their relationship is more like that of two brothers. 

Mario Carpintieri

Chris and Mario started as coworkers in 2019, but it didn’t take long for them to become great friends. Mario is always a truly genuine and caring confidant, with an open ear to listen to any stresses, coupled with wise advice and a “fahgetaboutit” to help smooth things over. 

Casey Gowrie 

Casey is Ali’s older brother and one of her biggest role models. He is one of her favorite people in the world, and he sets a perfect example of who she strives to be in terms of his patience, his ability to understand others, and his work ethic. He is also a solid go-to for advice and a person who is always there to fall back on.
