Our Story

The year: 2011
The place: Tommy Doyle’s Harvard Square (RIP)

It was a typical Sunday spent playing kickball at Cambridge Common followed by a disproportionate amount of time (the now defunct) Tommy Doyle’s Irish Pub, where all members of the World Adult Kickball Association’s Massachusetts Ivy League gathered after games. Adrienne had finished her surgical rotation of PA school the Friday before and for once didn’t have to bring her index cards to study on the kickball field. After a few rounds of flip cup with her team, she noticed that there was a lone green team (“Ballsagna”) player at the bar who looked like he might be ready to flip some cups. That lone player was the one and only, Dave Voutila II. Dave was impressed with her skills at the flip cup table and somehow managed to get her phone number.

Their first date will always be remembered as the day Cadel Evans took the yellow jersey in the Tour de France in 2011. Dave spent the morning watching the tour with his friends, and Adrienne spent the day at the beach with her friends. That evening they were to meet at Park St. Station to go out for drinks near Boston Common. In classic Adrienne and Dave fashion, they each ended up at different Park St. Station exits and both were getting a bit worried that their prospective date was standing them up. After this first hiccup they finally met up to decide where to go for drinks where they decided it was too damn hot for drinks, and instead went out for ice cream. It was this pivotal decision that spurred into everlasting love.

Now 7+ years later they’ve settled down in Vermont with their cat Cora and their golden retriever Maple (whose adventures you can follow on instagram @maplebtv). They love living in Vermont where skiing, hiking, biking and kayaking are all a stone’s throw away.

The Bridal Party

Co-Maid of Honor Megan Roberts: Friends since the early 2000’s, when Justin Timberlake and Britney spears were still an item. Megan has been given the title of honorary Bonvini. She always appreciates that Adrienne’s mother remembers that she is lactose intolerant when planning big italian dinners when Megan attends. It was also a full Bonvini Family celebration when Megan got her driver’s license in her 20s.

Co-Maid of Honor Laura Placentino: Friendship established September, 1987. Cousins. Friends. Basically sisters. It will only take you about 3 minutes of hanging out with these two to realize that they can finish each other’s sentences.

Bridesmaid Sarah Q. Reynolds: Adrienne and Sarah have been friends since the golden age of Will Farrell’s comedy career. Always ready for adventure, Sarah is Adrienne’s go to friend for camping and spontaneous day trips.

Bridesmaid Maggie George: Maggie and Adrienne’s friendship flourished as they attended the University of Vermont together, studying medical laboratory science. Not many people are fortunate to have had the chance to draw their friend’s blood and determine their blood type. This is one of those types of friendships.

Groomsmen

The Best Man: Jason Gronlund (“Jay”): A fellow survivor of Naragansett Regional High School, class of 2001, Jay has known Dave the longest…from the times he got beaned twice in the head during a jr. high baseball game to seeing Vladimir Guerrero Jr hit multiple dingers for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in a game vs. Tim Tebow. Oh, and they both also graduated from the same college (WPI, 2005) and are members of the same fraternity. All without trying coordinate it, if you can believe it!

Tim Krawiec (“TK”): The one time Tim decided to go running his Freshman year of college, Dave creepily chased him down to talk him into going to a rush event. Since then, Tim has been a part of many exciting adventures in Dave’s life from their times sharing responsibilites as officers in the fraternity to re-enacting the Whiskey Rebellion and numerous Foxwoods trips.

Mathew Densmore (“MattyD”): Yet another WPI and Alpha Chi Rho alum, Matty typically organized a lot of the activities so this wedding is the rare occasion he’s not involved in planning. Having left the harsh New England weather behind and retreating to Pasadena, he’s also probably traveling the furthest to the wedding!

Reid Craig: (“Reid”): Reid and Dave met when Dave was interviewing for a new job back in the 2008 timeframe. Over the years, they’ve shared various adventures from a rather wild time in Tampa to the horrors of business travel. (It’s hard to believe, but Reid didn’t go to WPI!) Reid’s basicaly the big brother Dave never had, not counting Dave’s fraternity big brother, of course ;-)
