Jienna and Katie have been best friends since 2006. When Katie became an instructor at Dance Connection, Jienna welcomed her with open arms. From their first dance together (“Blackbird”), to their first duet (“If We Ever Meet Again”) to present day, Jienna and Katie have been close. Jienna has been Katie’s rock and stuck with her through thick and thin. Jienna is always a shoulder to cry on. They have laughed and had so many fun memories together like many concerts (No Doubt, DMB, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga), many dance recitals, and the annual Halloween parties. With these two, you know it will always be a good time. This “Mongie” is extremely honored to have her Johnny Rivera by her side on the biggest day of her life.

Chris and Mike have been best friends since the 9th grade when they met in Volleyball. What could best be described by what was once our ringtone for each other "Just let it grow more and more each day.It's like I married my best friend,But in a totally manly way.." During high school Miller and Smith would be tied at the hip causing chaos wherever they went. They worked together at Wegmans, filmed videos for the AV club at school, and spent weekends at each others place playing video games and airsoft. After high school, the Miller and Smith adventures continued. From yearly trips to the Adirondacks to finding the next best beer, and of course video games. But it wasn't only the good times. Chris was there for Mike during the difficult times, and helped him when he needed him most. Michael and Chris have been through it all together and he is thankful and excited to have Chris be his best man.

Mila and Katie have been close friends since freshman year of high school. Going to a new high school not knowing anyone was very hard. Mila was the first real friend Katie made. In fact, they actually first introduced themselves to each other at Darien Lake’s Fright Fest. She helped make those four years of high school so much fun. They had some distance through their college years, but have been rekindling their friendship the past few years. This friendship is one that will last forever. It’s only fitting that Mila be a huge part of Katie and Michael’s special day.

Mike met Jeff at Holt Rd. Wegmans. While working together at Wegmans, Jeff and Mike became great friends. It started out as going to bowling every week and has become yearly trips to the Adirondacks and NYC. In their hay days, they spent weekends drinking tons of energy drinks and deep frying everything they could. Though they still do that, they suffer the consequence far more than they use to. Mike is honored to have the support and friendship of Jeff, and is happy he could be a part of Michael's marriage to Katie!

Jason and Mike met at ShoreTel. Every day Michael and Jason would discuss pop culture, politics, SyFy, and, of course STAR WARS! This led Jason and Mike to create their own show (Sidetracked), where they talked about everything and anything. Though their friendship is new, Michael is thankful for the time and intellectual conversations they have daily and can't wait to see what more there is instore.

Nicole is the bride’s cousin on her mother's side of the family. She is the reason that Michael and Katie met in the first place. Nicole was getting a promotion and had a work party on her last day. She invited Katie to come along, even though she really didn’t know anyone. At that party was where Katie and Michael met. The rest is history.Katie is so happy that Nicole will be standing up with her as a thank you for introducing them. Thank you Nikki!

Jessica is the bride’s cousin on her father's side of the family. Jess and Katie have always been close and shared dance as a common passion. It’s an honor that Jess will be standing up with us on our special day.

Paul and Mike have been friends for years. Where Mike syfy geeked with Jason, Mike and Paul drama geeked. Though Mike did not have the chops for the stage (he did try). Paul and Mike would hang out backstage and would go to see Rent a dozen times. This even resulted in Mike getting grounded for lying about where he was going. He was supposed to do homework with friends, not going to see Rent. Paul has been someone Mike could always rely on for help, and resulted in Paul becoming the group Oracle. Katie and Mike are excited for Paul to light up the dance floor with his moves at their wedding!

Donny is the brother of the bride. Katie and Mike were honored that Donny was there to capture the moment Mike proposed. Donny and Mike's friendship has grown through their competitive nature. Whether it's through gaming, sports or even watching tv, Mike and Donny make a competition out of anything. Mike is honored to have Donny be a part of his party to celebrate Michael and Katie's next step in their journey together.

Shawna is Mike's step sister. Over the years, Shawna and Katie have grown pretty close. They have a lot in common and she is so much fun. They have shared some fun memories and both Michael and Katie are excited that she will be standing by them when they become husband and wife.
