Joe and Mel Danaher

Parents of the Bride

Hinesburg, Vermont

Anyone reading this knows who Joe and Mel are. They're the poor souls that had to deal with Becky during her oh-so-unpleasant teenage/early college years!! Ben and Becky spend quite a bit of time with the Danahers, from dinners in the Burg, to blueberry picking, seeing live music and trips to Maine. Mom Danaher is still working for the lawyers in town and doing freelance books on the side. Dad Danaher just left IBM and has started a new chapter in his life, opening Java Joe's Coffee Equipment Service! Spread the word! Becky is looking forward to planning the wedding with her Mom! We love you both so much. Thank you for all that you're doing for the wedding.

Tom and Sue Colley

Parents of the

Groom

New Haven, Vermont

Tom and Sue are Ben parents and Becky can't wait to officially become a member of the Colley! The Colley's recently moved to Vermont from Indiana when they decided to sell Tom's gastroenterology practice and retire. Though not from the state originally, two of their three children and two grandchildren have decided to call VT home, so Tom and Sue decided to join them on the east coast. They've spent the last couple of years building a beautiful home in New Haven where B&B spend as much time as they can. It's a truly relaxing place to spend time with the people we love. We're so lucky and happy that they've come. Look for Tom on the dance floor! Thank you so much for hosting the wedding and for everything you do for us. We love you!

Rev. Jill Colley-Robinson

Officiant

Middlebury, Vermont

Jill is Ben's older sister and mother to two of our favorite people-Chelsea (flower girl) and Isaiah, our Godson that will hopefully participate in the ceremony on some level. She, her husband John-Eric, and the kids live in Middlebury, Vermont where Jill is a Methodist minister. Jill's kind, wise soul makes her one-of-a-kind and we are thrilled that she has agreed to perform our ceremony! So much love to you Sister Jill and we can't wait for your robe-free, swanky outfit!

Noah Roth

Groomsman

Allentown, Pennsylvania

Noah and Ben have been friends since early childhood, having grown up together in Danville, Pennsylvania. He and his wife Rebekah are some of our closest friends. The Roth family continues to grow, as they are expecting their second child, Jane, this coming November. Their first daughter, Anna (Banana), is almost two and we can't express how much we love her. She's changed so much since we met her and is definitely gonna' drive the boys wild! ...Milk drunk...love you guys!

Jamie Clare

Groomsman

South Burlington, Vermont

Jamie is Becky's brother and has become someone that Ben enjoys spending time with. Jamie came into the Danaher's lives years ago and the family was forever changed. He spent many years trying to get Becky's approval (again, Becky with the attitude) and now he has it! We hope that Jamie is as excited about participating as we are! Looking forward to seeing you in a suit again, bro!

Adam Colley

Best Man

Denver, Colorado

Adam is Ben's older brother and someone that means a lot to both of us. We don't get to see him as often as we'd like, but always enjoy it when we do. Adam works in the hospitality industry and deals with the dreaded FED's. He and his precious dog, Kola, love the Rocky Mountains. Can't wait to see you and hopefully it'll be before the wedding!

Chelsea Colley-Robinson

Flower Girl

Middlebury, Vermont

Chelsea is a VERY special person in our lives. She is Ben's niece and possibly the cutest, most kind child on the planet. We love her SO SO much and can't wait to see her walk down the isle. She continues to express her excitement for her upcoming role as "the flower!" We love you little lady!

Sarah Filippi

Bridesmaid

San Francisco, California

Words can't express how much Becky misses her friend Sarah. They met in 2001 at work and quickly realized what great friends they were becoming. She shares Becky's love for music and they've traveled the country in the VDubs seeing shows and shaking their booties. Sar moved to California a few years ago (shortly after B&B met) and is missed dearly. They've managed to see one another a couple of times a year and hopefully that will continue. We're so happy to have her in our lives!

Kelly Thibault

Bridesmaid

Williston, Vermont

Ahhh...Miss Thibault. Kelly and Becky met freshman year of high school and quickly became partners in crime. They've shared a lot through the years and she will be forever remembered as the fifth roommate that never had to pay rent. Kelly works in South Burlington for the city and hopes to get out of Vermont sometime soon to explore something new. Becky will miss her like hell if she goes, but wishes her the best! She'll be the one with the ponytail ;-) xo

Kelly McCarron

Bridesmaid

Boston, Massachusetts

Kel is Becky's oldest friend. They met WAY back in the day as Girl Scouts and have been friends for most of their lives. She and her boyfriend Josh (soon to be finance, hopefully!) live in Boston, Massachusetts and Kel is quickly advancing in her career as an accountant. Becky can't wait to share all of the upcoming girly events with her!

Katie Lane

Maid of Honor

Portland area, Maine

As most of you know, Katie is Becky's older sister. She and her husband Corey were married in October of 2007 and are living in Windham, Maine on Lake Little Sebago. They have a lovely home in a lovely place, but we hope to have them here in Vermont for good sometime soon! Becky didn't treat Kate kindly for a chunk of her teenage years, but has dropped her attitude and they have reconnected. Becky is looking forward to sharing her "big day" with her "big sis" Love you!

Wedding Party

The ladies have all been asked to participate and have gladly accepted!

Ben has his list, but hasn't done anything with it quite yet (surprise, surprise!)

Welcome

Hello visitors!

This is our inexpensive solution to using "the knot" or some other wedding website that makes you pay!!! Wedding plans have started, but aren't quite in full swing...

The OFFICIAL date is Saturday, September 18, 2010. Ben's parents, Tom and Sue, have graciously agreed to host the event on their property in New Haven, Vermont. We hope to have an evening wedding with casual, but scrumptious, food. Jill, Ben's sister, will be officiating and her daughter, little miss Chelsea, is our flower girl. We hope to find a way to include our Godson Isaiah, but we'll have to wait and see how comfortable he's feeling and how social he is in the coming months. We know that Adam, Ben's brother, will be the best man and Katie, Becky's sister, will be the maid of honor. We are still deciding on the rest of the wedding party, but we'll posts updates as those plans come to fruition.

Beck's been shopping once with Katie and Mom Danaher and tried on several dresses, though she went into the day saying she wouldn't. I would have worn something other than granny panties had I known. Looks like an empire waist and something halter or with some kind of thick strap will be the winner. It helps cut her line-backer shoulders in half.

Love to you all. Feel free to post comments and leave suggestions!
