Welcome

Welcome

Thank you so much for saying "Yes" to celebrating with us!

The main reason we turned our wedding into a full weekend is simple: our people need to meet each other.

Think of this as part family reunion, part golf outing, part party with friends (oh and also a wedding).

We put this site together as a way of introducing you to one another, the weekend's activities, and to post updates as we get closer to the date. Looking forward to an EPIC WEEKEND with the most amazing people.

The Guest List

A Little Who's Who

The primary reason we turned our wedding into a full weekend was simple: our people needed to meet each other. Think of this as part family reunion, part golf outing, part party with friends โ€” and entirely a celebration of the relationships that have made our lives so full. We value every single one of you, and since we can't be everywhere at once (we tried to schedule a fireball shot and a hug with each of you โ€” the math didn't work out), consider this your little primer on who you might meet.

Our Officiant
Heather Shields

Here's a fun fact: Heather introduced Jessica and Peter. Which means none of this โ€” none of it โ€” happens without her. An absolute rockstar of a human being, Heather has been a fierce supporter of each of us individually for over a decade. She's a real estate agent at Sotheby's Legacy International Realty and the founder of the Maine Women's Project. She's so exceptional that we asked her to marry us. She said yes. We are deeply, endlessly grateful she is our friend.

Jessica's Daughter
Claire Arnold

Claire is currently studying international business and law at college in Ireland, which tells you everything you need to know about her. She travels like a seasoned pro, has friends scattered across the globe, and several of them are joining her here this weekend. She's always game for a sporting event or a concert โ€” and for reasons that remain a mystery to her mother, she's a devoted ice hockey fan. Several of her friends are here with her, so the international contingent is well represented.

Jessica's Rocks
Serena Rasmussen & Susan Milliken

"Friends are the sisters you choose for yourself." These two are exactly that for Jessica. They have been instrumental in making this entire weekend come together โ€” cheerfully absorbing a truly remarkable number of last-minute requests along the way. They've loved Jessica through all of it. If you meet them, thank them. They've earned it.

โ€” Written in February. We already know this will be true by July.

Peter's Family ยท Connecticut
The Huggers ๐Ÿค—

Peter's family from Connecticut โ€” three cousins, their college-aged and older children, significant others in tow โ€” all 19-ish of them. These incredibly kind, warm, and fun people welcomed Jessica into the fold with open arms. Repeatedly. Every time. Even when they'd just seen each other the day before. Jess once counted her hugs over a single family weekend and stopped at 100. They are also, it should be noted, fantastic dancers and extraordinary cooks. You will want to be near them at both the reception and the buffet.

Jessica's Family ยท Maine & Washington State
The Estes Family โ€” Also Known As: The Non-Huggers ๐ŸŽฃ

Chris, Barry, and Mike โ€” Jessica's three brothers โ€” plus an assortment of nieces, nephews, and cousins, mostly hailing from Maine or Washington State. They'd probably rather be fishing or skiing. They will not be initiating any hugs. But make no mistake: they are the absolute best brothers in the world, and Jessica is lucky beyond measure to have them here.

Jessica's Work Family
The Boulians ๐Ÿ’ผ

Jessica joined The Boulos Company in 2003 and spent over two decades working in nearly every role in the company before retiring in 2025. Many of her former partners and colleagues are here this weekend, which is AWESOME because she MISSES THEM. They are a sharp, talented, and extremely fun group. Fair warning: keep an eye out for breakdancing, rogue golf club throws, and suspiciously outsized bets at Casino Night.

Peter's Work Family
Horch Roofing ๐Ÿ 

Several of Peter's key long-time team members are joining us this weekend, and we are genuinely honored they're spending personal time with us. You may find Leah โ€” Chief People Officer โ€” running side bets at poker. Taylor โ€” Chief Sales Officer โ€” will absolutely be on the golf course. And keep an eye on the dance floor for Devin. That's all we'll say about that.

Peter's Golf Crew
The Samoset Crew โ›ณ

Peter's regular golfing buddies. Most of them play golf like Bill Murray. They are foul-mouthed, opinionated, and โ€” if we're being honest โ€” still a little unclear on why their golf weekend is being interrupted by a wedding. They spend an unreasonable amount of time on the course and an unreasonable amount of money on bets. Their math is creative. Their lie selections even more so. Peter cannot think of a better group of guys to have by his side.

Peter's NFL Stadium Tour
The Football Crew ๐Ÿˆ

As many of you know, Peter has made it his personal mission to watch his beloved Patriots play in every single NFL stadium. Several guests here have been lucky enough to join him on some of these trips โ€” each and every one of which began, without exception, with a Fireball shot. That's not a tradition. That's a policy.

This year, the tour continues. We're eyeing Seattle, Jacksonville, or Detroit as the next stop.

Do you want in? ๐Ÿฅƒ Find Peter this weekend. You know how it starts.

And Then There Are the Othersโ€ฆ

You may find yourself in conversation with a member of the Minnesota Patriots, the Skulls of Illumination, the Montreal Hores, or the Scooter Gang. We're not going to tell you who they are. That's half the fun. Good luck.

Where You Came From

You Traveled From Near & Far

From the coast of Maine to the shores of Florida, from the Pacific Northwest to the Deep South โ€” you came from all over the country to be here. We don't take that lightly. Thank you.

There's a Jets fan too โ€” but the Jets logo wouldn't paste. Go figure.
