Our Story:

We met at an&nbsp;Irish bar,&nbsp;Banshee,&nbsp;on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on a dreary and accidental winter night (January 20th, 2016...but who's counting?)&nbsp;&nbsp;After a few beers and gut-busting laughs, Cait demanded that if Danny call her, then he had better ask her out to a proper meal!&nbsp;&nbsp;After a&nbsp; delicious and&nbsp;gluttonous Italian&nbsp;&nbsp;dinner one Tuesday at&nbsp;Lusardi's on 78th and 2nd Ave., we would meet on just&nbsp;Tuesdays shortly thereafter, thus leading Cait to believe that Danny had a second family in New Jersey or something.Alas, it was just Danny's nerves and Cait's vivid imagination, and by April, we were in love and meeting each other's family and friends who all of a sudden "got it."Between pick-up basketball games, Netflix binges, and breaking a lot of bread together, we decided to move to Brooklyn &nbsp;in November 2017.&nbsp;&nbsp;After a gorgeous proposal in &nbsp;Paris &nbsp;on June 4th, 2018, we continued our love fest to Normandy,&nbsp;France on the 74th Anniversary of&nbsp;D-Day.&nbsp; We had fought our own battles that day in&nbsp;that &nbsp;Cait was driving stick shift in a&nbsp;foreign country and Danny's Garmin had a mind of its own.&nbsp; The engagement week ended with violent food poisoning in London (mind the pork in the West End neighborhood).&nbsp;&nbsp;All the while, Danny recognized that we went through every emotion in that one week, and&nbsp;&nbsp;we could&nbsp;not wait to continue the wild ride for the rest of our lives together.We cannot stress enough how excited we are to have met each other, and how each and every person reading this and attending our wedding has shaped us into the people we are today, or at least tolerates the people we are today!&nbsp; We love you all, and cannot wait to eat, drink, and dance together.

Oh,  a "How They Met" Story

4th of July Backyard BBQ

John a.k.a Jack, Hurricane, Caleb, Gleason, Big foot, Masculine features, Big Handsome, Carroll. My dearest friend of over 22 years. The easiest decision of my life was to name him my best man.





Jack and I&nbsp;go way back; Back to the glory days of JNCO&nbsp;Jeans, chain wallets, and Looney Toons t-shirts. We spent most of our formative years at Jack’s mom's place&nbsp;playing video games and drinking in the basement next to the washing machines. We were basically inseparable all through high school and even college. He went to Clark, and I&nbsp;went to Utica, but I would take long vacations where I&nbsp;&nbsp;found&nbsp;myself sleeping on Jack's couch for weeks.



 In all seriousness, Jack has been my most loyal&nbsp;and constant friend. We have been through the most high of highs (pun intended) and lows anyone can go through. I’m extremely honored to have him stand by my side during this happiest of occasions.

Jack Carroll

Kelly is the elder&nbsp;of the package deal, Kelly and Brenna, my "Co-MoHs!"&nbsp;We were inseparable as kids.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our moms, Mel &&nbsp;Cel, are best friends and so it was inevitable from the late 80s that we would be a trio.

Kelly and I had the &nbsp;time&nbsp;of our lives riding bikes around West Blvd. and West Park, and starting a coven in junior high.&nbsp; We even rolled up&nbsp;&nbsp;napkins and smoked them when we entered a rebellious phase a.k.a 4th &&nbsp;5th grade, not to mention the late nights of&nbsp;taking shots of lemon juice with salt to re-enact one of our favorites, "The Cutting Edge."&nbsp;&nbsp;





Kelly is a tremendously smart woman.&nbsp; She is a successful engineer, and when she had to commute to LA for work, I rode her coattails.&nbsp;&nbsp;She allowed me to crash with her and took me under her wing while I was finding my way in entertainment.&nbsp; Only a year older, I always looked up to Kelly and wanted to be in her social circle.





We refer to each other as "cuzzies," but we are much more like sisters.&nbsp; I can't wait for Kelly to stand next to me on&nbsp;one of the best days of my life, because we've made some of the best memories of our lives together!&nbsp; Love you, Kellay!&nbsp;

Kelly Reilly

Jonathan, aka Papo, Jon Jon, Jonny Love, JB Smoove, Jon Marino, Jonny loves Chachi, Amores. Jon is basically my brother, even though we are actually cousins. We are not even a year apart in age and we have all the same things in common. Our love for sports is what really binds us. When we were younger, we would play all day until my grandmother would call us in for dinner. We would run around the neighborhood in North Bergen, NJ until we heard the ice cream truck song. Jon would get the Ultimate Warrior ice cream and I&nbsp;would always get a strawberry milkshake (this decision always confused Jon and everyone in line).&nbsp;

Jon has grown up to be a very hard-working, responsible, and most importantly,&nbsp;kind individual. I’m proud to have Jon in my wedding, and also as&nbsp;my brother for life.

Jon Amores

Brenna is the youngest of our "cuzzy" trio and second 1/2 of "Co-MoH!"&nbsp;&nbsp;I use the word cuzzy loosely because just like her sister Kelly,&nbsp; Brenna is also more like a sister to me.

We are a big nickname family and "Binky"&nbsp;is no exception.&nbsp;&nbsp;She has worn that name proudly for decades, and also strictly&nbsp;honors other nicknames.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Brenna is one of the funniest people I&nbsp;know.&nbsp; She keeps me in check and makes fun of me, but we also laugh at the stupidest voices and daily occurrences.&nbsp; My guess is you will find Binky on the dance floor most of the night.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Brenna is a loyal person--a ride-or-die--and I am so lucky to have her next to me on my wedding day with&nbsp;full support and smiles, as usual!&nbsp; Love you, Binks!

Brenna "Binky" Reilly

"Frank&nbsp;Butt" is&nbsp;our 4-year-old nephew (son of Caitlin's brother,&nbsp;Eddie, and his wife, Mandy).&nbsp; He loves popcorn and his favorite Ninja Turtle is Leonardo.

Francis Smith

"Sebbie" is our nephew (son of Danny's Twin sister,&nbsp;Jessie, and her husband Dave).&nbsp; Sebbie is obsessed with his "Uncle NaNa" and enjoys dancing to old school Hip hop and watching squirrels.

Sebastian Leaver

"Dincent Peanut"&nbsp;is our 2-year-old nephew (Francis's younger brother).&nbsp; He loves to snuggle and sing Baby Shark.

Vincent Smith

Armando and Lilia are the late but&nbsp;never&nbsp;forgotten parents of twins, Jessica and Danny.&nbsp; They are from Portugal and Cuba, respectively.&nbsp; Their humor, love, and kindness live on in both their children.&nbsp; If you ever wonder where the light beams from in&nbsp;Danny (as with Jessie) the source is Armando and Lilia.&nbsp; Los amamos&nbsp;siempre.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Armando Mantas and Lilia Amores

"Pauly and Cel" have been married for 36 years.&nbsp; They are the parents of Scott a.k.a&nbsp;"Scooter/Coco", Ed a.k.a "Dward/Ted,"&nbsp;&nbsp;and of course&nbsp;Caitlin a.k.a "Pooch/Caaaatherine."

They are excited to showcase the growing&nbsp;family and our great city, and we want to thank them for their faith&nbsp;and example.&nbsp; &nbsp;We love you!
