Donna & Angelo Zeoli - Mother and Father of the Bride
The Host and Hostess of this wedding, It's hard to sum up a lifetime of unconditional love and unwavering support in a blurb, but Angela's parents have been nothing short of the best ones she could have ever asked for. Few are lucky enough to have fantastic parents, even fewer are lucky enough to have the bond we share. Their favorite family activities include tournaments of UNO, chatting around a firepit, and watching wrestling together.
Kathy Burke & Brad Heaney - Mother and Father of the Groom
Two loving parents who before settling down in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey had adventures and jobs all throughout the midwest of the United States. While they may be divorced that doesn't stop them from still being friends and being loving parents to Brendan and Patrick. Years of Jeopardy, pizza, movies, and laughter have yielded a lifetime of love and memories that will last forever.
Lucia Cacciacarro - Maid of Honor
Meet the "Luey" to Angela's "Stuey." They've been the best of friends for life-mostly because they're cousins! Lucy has always been Angela's Maid of Honor in her mind since they were small. Even though Lucy lives in Canada, the bond these two have goes beyond borders.
Anishka Jean - Maid of Honor
Anishka and Angela met by chance in 7th grade, when first chair 2nd violin was right next to the first chair cello. The two became fast friends and 14 years later they are still going strong. From middle school, to marching band, all the way through college into their adult lives, there is nothing these two can't handle together with a healthy dose of humor.
Brendan Heaney - Best Man
Brendan is the best older brother Patrick could have asked for, which worked out great considering he did not have a choice. He can answer just about any question about professional wrestling and can eat any cut of meat you put in front of him. Don't forget to subscribe to the Shining Wizards podcast on YouTube.
Christopher Egnatowicz - Best Man
Christopher and Patrick have been best of friends since the age of 13. They have been through many, many things together including broken bones, broken cars, and broken hearts.

Brianne Heaney - Bridesmaid
Brianne is Patrick's sister in law, married to Brendan. She is a great mother and fantastic teacher. Angela and Brianne love to swap ideas for their jobs as they have very similar activities between the two...just on two extremes of the age spectrum. Brianne will likely be the first one on the dance floor.
Kim Van Woeart - Bridesmaid
Kim has one of the biggest hearts you will ever find in a human being. The only thing in life that she does not excel at is catching things with her hand. She met Patrick in youth soccer and they became close friends in high school. She has helped countless people through ups and downs over the years and the world is truly a better place as a result of her being in it.
Josie Stellato - Bridesmaid
Josie is another one of Angela's cousins from Canada. Not only was Angela in Josie's wedding, but Josie was the flower girl for Angela's Parents! Despite the physical distance, the two are always able to chat about anything and everything, especially recipes involving bananas.

Jennifer is Angela's cousin and they have been great friends for life. Angela was in Jenn's wedding as a junior bridesmaid and Jenn was in Angela's parents' wedding as well!

In fact, she is the one responsible for Angela's wedding day nails as well as the Mother of the Bride's nails. She enjoys watching 90 day fiancé the most, but is learning the ins and outs of wrestling.
Luciano Zeoli - Groomsman
Luciano is the younger one of Angela's twin brothers. Both brothers are teachers, this one teaches music. The Zeoli siblings are fortunate enough to be life-long friends who happen to be siblings and Patrick comfortably fits right into the mix. They have the most fun just laughing together, but especially like playing Mario Party all together (He's Luigi), sharing spicy chip recommendations, and discovering new songs for golfcart joyrides.
Leonardo Zeoli - Groomsman
Leo is the older one of Angela's twin brothers. Both brothers are teachers, this one teaches math. The Zeoli siblings are fortunate enough to be life-long friends who happen to be siblings and Patrick comfortably fits right into the mix.

Tim Van Woeart - Groomsman
Despite the fact that Tim has an affinity for bowties, he is a tremendous person. He ran in 5 consecutive Warrior Dash mud runs with Patrick and also hosts a very successful podcast in the A/V world. He would literally give you the shirt off his back if you asked, which could be awkward if you aren't 6'4" like Tim.
Paul Annese - Groomsman
Like many others, Paul has known Patrick since their school days. They share a love of heavy metal music, steak, and professional wrestling. Paul is an inspiration to all of his friends and we are all incredibly lucky to have him in our lives.

Michael is a doctor of education who brings life to any room he is in. He has the gift of making people laugh in any situation which he uses very often. Michael has worked very hard his entire life in his education career and along the way acquired a lovely family. He has a lot to be proud of except for the fact that he is a New York Jets fan.
Tom "Tony" Brex - Groomsman
Troy today, Tony tomorrow, Tom forever. A man with many names who answers to all of them. The definition of unbothered, Tony has a history of spraining Patrick's ankles. Maybe on purpose, who's to say for sure. One thing that is for sure is that Tony is a true blue friend and a true orange and blue Mets fan. For better or worse, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more loyal guy.
Christopher Heaney - Junior Groomsman
Christopher is Brendan and Brianne's son which makes him Patrick's nephew. We are thankful that he very clearly got his hair from his mother's side of the family. He loves to play the drums and can tell you anything you need to know about Super Mario and is likely a future host of Jeopardy.
