About Us

Chris and Bethany first crossed paths while attending law school. Both of us had a shared passion for the law, which led to long discussions about law, justice, and our future career paths. Upon graduating, Bethany's passion for the law and criminal justice led to her career in prosecution. Chris focused on his career in law enforcement as a Trooper. Years later, we remained friends and reconnected while we were both working in Boston. As some of the best love stories begin, a great friendship and shared life passions led us to wanting a life together.

We have since created a beautiful family together in Kingston with Chris's amazing son, Caleb and our beautiful doggie, Luna. Bethany has embraced the role of stepmom to Caleb and has grown to love the South Shore, where Chris was already settled. We cherish all of our family trips together, our quiet days at home, and share a love of sports, especially football, basketball and baseball. We have met some pretty amazing friends throughout our careers and from our years involved in youth sports.

After many years of shared adventures and memories together, the moment finally came. On a romantic weekend getaway to New York City while walking through central park, Chris got down on one knee and asked Bethany to be his wife. Bethany of course said yes! That night was a perfect, private moment and we both felt overwhelmed with joy and excitement for our future together.

Now, with love, laughter, and tons of memories behind us, we're excited to start the next chapter of our lives together. We are looking forward to celebrating our love with our family and friends at our wedding in Aruba. We cannot wait to share this special day with all of you, and we are so grateful to have you by our side.

Wedding Party

Caleb Hession

Caleb Hession

Best Man

We are thrilled to introduce our Best Man, Caleb Hession, who holds a special place in this wedding and in our hearts. At just 11 years old, Caleb is not only the Groom's amazing son, but also his best friend and greatest supporter.

From playing catch in the backyard to cheering on their favorite sports teams, Chris and Caleb share a bond that is unbreakable. The wedding day will be even more meaningful and unforgettable because Caleb will get to stand by his dad's side when he marries Bethany, or BB as Caleb says.

We can't imagine a more perfect Best Man and are so excited to share this special moment with Caleb and all of our family and friends as we being this new chapter as a family!

Chelsea Bigos

Chelsea Bigos

Maid of Honor

We are delighted to introduce our Maid of Honor, Chelsea who has been Bethany's best friend and partner-in-crime since they were 11 years old. Their story began on a school bus ride, where a simple friendship blossomed into a lifelong bond of support, laughter, and love.

From growing up together, to playing sports, and creating countless memories, Chelsea has been by Bethany's side through it all. Their friendship is full of inside jokes, shared adventures, and an unbreakable connection that has grown stronger over the years.

Bethany couldn't imagine this day without Chelsea by her side and she is beyond grateful to have her best friend standing next to her as she marries the love of her life.
