Bridal Party
The amazing women (and men) behind Calvin's leading lady

I met Bianca in kindergarten (back when jelly shoes and scorts were a thing!) It has been 25 years of an amazing friendship--but it's been more than that though. This wonderful, caring, intelligent, spontaneous, adventurous woman is my SISTER! From finishing each others sentences to picking out the same exact clothes (yet having vastly different styles) it's like she's my other half and I'm so proud of everything she has accomplished. I can't wait to see her and Calvin walk down that isle as husband and wife, and I feel so lucky to be a part of it. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you two.
BTW The waterworks will commence (again).
I love you BBcuz!

Bianca and I were instant friends when we met in 5th grade. We did everything together from pretending to be horses in my back yard, to painting her palace, to playing crawl in the dark at our weekly sleepovers, to learning how to dance (let's be honest, she was teaching me how to dance). I'd give B all of the credit for my dance moves, but I think those Hip Hop Abs videos we watched may have helped too. Needless to say everything I do with B is a blast, even hanging out with our 75 year old Curves classmates in high school.
B and I talked about our perfect guy since we were 11 years old. I've watched Cal and B together since they met and they are both such amazing people. It's easy to see they're a perfect match and have a wonderful life ahead of them. I'm so happy Cal was smart enough to put a ring on it!

Bianca and I were joined at the hip the moment we met. We both showed up at the wrong time to leave for Tuft’s Telescope weekend and bonded over food as we waited 2 hours for the rest of the group to join...It was love at first sight :-)
While in college, I joked that she became my agent because she accompanied me on every audition (for the various performing arts groups on campus), filled out the necessary forms, and always gave me a pep talk beforehand LOL! More than a friend, she's been more like a sister to me since day one. She is such a fun-loving, caring, smart, supportive and, of course, FABULOUS person AND friend. I am so fortunate and blessed to call her a “bestie.”
I am SO happy for you and Calvin girl…
the best is yet to come!!

Bianca and I became friends back in middle school when she would literally drag me onto dance floors and convince my brother to drive me places so we could hang out every weekend. This continued through high school, college visits and breaks--and as much as I hate to admit it, I've enjoyed almost every random activity she's forced me to do. For the last 15 years I've always known I could call B whenever I needed a pep talk, help with frustrating chores, or just a fun night with my oldest friends
(well, except when she's in foreign countries, not great at picking up the phone when she's in Costa Rica or Africa for some reason).

Bianca and I met way back when in our college days. We always seemed to be in the same places throughout our freshman year and realized that there must have been something to the constant run-ins and random hang out sessions. By senior year, it was official, the friendship was definitely one filled with memories that would last a lifetime. From spring break shenanigans to late night deep convos and crying on the floor of our apartment the night Barack Obama was elected, Bianca and I have been through it all.
Always admiring her carefree spirit and dedication to her passions, including her friends, I feel so lucky to have her in my corner and can't wait to be there to support her on this amazing day and throughout the many years ahead!

I met this lovely leading lady freshman year of college at Tufts and she's been stuck with me ever since. Bianca, Melodie and I became the 3 Musketeers of lower campus and were rarely seen without each other for 4 years.
Through breakups, true loves, and a whole bunch of Capen parties in between, Bianca has been down to clown with me for our entire adult lives and has become more like a sister than a friend.
So excited to make a million more memories with her!!!
