Our Story

Photos

John was born in 2004 when Dean was eight, and ever since then they have been best friends.  John is an avid golfer who always shoots a little better than his older brother.  His favorite club to use is the pitching iron.  John cannot be more excited to be Dean's best man.

Dean and William met back in Chaminade where William was always willing to lend a helping hand. William has loved watching his little sister fall in love with Dean and can't wait to stand beside the two of them on the big day.

William DiBugno 

Juliana and Jess became friends instantly once Jess and Dean started dating. In fact, Juliana was the first person Jess called when they got engaged - she was the obvious choice for Maid of Honor since the two are basically sisters.

Dan and Dean met back during their freshman year at Villanova - the only person who could deal with Dean’s neat freak tendencies. They love watching college basketball, drinking the best wines, and going out for happy hours after work.
