Our Wedding

10 Years Full of Love...

Frederick (Ricky) and Dana first met in 2010- in high school! YES! Prom dates, too! They began dating as teens. December 21, 2018, Ricky took Dana to the restaurant where they had their first date, Giardino's. He then surprised Dana in a private room with their family and he proposed! On their 10 year anniversary, 12.20.20, they were to get married with their loving family and adoring friends.&nbsp; As they continue to manifest through the challenges of the world today, they continue to radiate their love and express their excitement of their wedding, new home, and future together.

Things to Do

Melissa is Dana's oldest sister. She has three children and an impeccable taste in design and events! Melissa also knows how to bring a party to life. Catch her on the dance floor with her husband Vinnie! 

Melissa

Amanda is the middle sister of the three girls, together they are "M.A.D." Amanda not only has the smarts, but the looks too. She's always accompanied by her husband Jimmy and they break it down on the dance floor and snack throughout cocktail hour! Catch her at the donut station!

Amanda 

Three is better than two MOH's! Ricky's youngest sibling, Dana's adopted sister - the lil MOH. Organized, passionate, & sometimes stressed lil sis. She's a tough one! Watch out for her, she's in charge and will make you put your phone away when she walks down the aisle! 

Tiana

The man of the hour, the talented, undefeated, undisputed Big Bro! He's well crafted in his career and has perfect pitch while singing in shower. Make sure to catch him at our cocktail hour! He might be on the piano... 

Joseph

To the naked eye you'd think he's polish, but he's our Spanish speaking Italian Best Man. If you think Melissa's a good dancer, wait until Dante gets lit with his DiGiorno Amaretto!!  

Dante

Dana's younger brother! Handsome as can be, funny and caring. Although Mateo lives out of state, when he visits New York it's always a PARTY! Once, Mateo was so excited when we visited Ricky's house, he ran in his room and took a nap in his bed! We couldn't find him... 

Mateo

Dana & Ricky's oldest niece! She is 8 years old, and in 3rd grade! She loves painting, singing, dancing, and making a mess!

Valentina 

Jimmy Jr. aspires to be a NY Yankee one day.  He is the oldest nephew, and turns 7 years old the day before the wedding! DOUBLE GIFTS! Baseball is life, but so are snacks. 

Jimmy Jr.

Adrianna is Valentina's younger sister, she is Dana's Goddaughter and her twin! She loves tutu's, glitter, glitz & glam! She's very shy, but has a loud personality!

Adrianna

Michael is the little brother of Valentina & Adrianna, he is the kindest and most caring little man! He loves his monster trucks, superheroes, and sports! Also, who could forget those nutella sandwiches? 

Michael

The youngest of the nieces & nephews, the fairest of them all - Princess Natalie! You can hear her squeaky voice and know it's her from a mile away! She loves her pretty dresses and barbies! 

Natalie

Andrea is Dana's cousin and best friend. Both of them together are trouble makers! ...and also a GREAT TIME! You won't want to miss these two on the  dance floor! WATCH OUT!

Andrea

Lisamarie and Dana may be neighbors, but more like family. These two are inseparable! Lisamarie's fashion is like no other - she is a superstar! It gets better... Need a midnight snack? You'll find these two at the drive thru. Turning vegans to chicken nuggie lovers. 

Lisamarie

Danielle and Dana might as well be family by this point! Since three years old these two have been friends, and nothing has changed since. Danielle's outgoing personality and the lawyer in her will ensure the wedding runs smooth - if you're not lined up where you're supposed to be on the big day- I would figure it out before she does! 

Danielle

Gabriella and Dana were introduced by their men, and since then have had a party every day. Soul sisters - these two share half birthdays! It gets better, Gab enjoys the house/dance music from the late 90's & early millennium, can you say "It's not right, but it's ok" ?!?! 

Gabriella 

John is Gabriella's Fiance, but Ricky and John are joined by the hip. Hard working and freestyle loving is the best it gets! TKA is Johns ICON and hobby is pretending to be a Marine in Call of Duty. 

John

Cousin Jake was dragged by Freddy and Dana in the heart of their college years. From parties to clubs, limos and more "The Polish Fist" never missed any of it. A true definition of a gentleman is this man right here.

Jake

Pass over a Heineken and you'll make a new friend for the night. Nick is a strong, hilarious, and caring gentleman. Recently joined the Army and may not be able to celebrate with us, but his courage to fight for America will prevail. Thank you, Nick!! 

Nick

Many people know him as Chris, but I always refer to him by his real name... Christopha!  If your looking to do something expensive and out of the ordinary this is his personal work cell phone number: 1(845)-803-2040

Chris M.

Jimmy and Ricky met in high school and instantly clicked. Lover of movies & lover of bugs. Safety First Pest Control is his business located in Howard Beach. Give him a call! This is not a paid advertisement.  

Jimmy

Gabe is and always will be a horse.  Always running and jumping around full of energy.
