Our Wedding

Our Story

Photos

My bestie since 1997...we've been through it all together; the good, bad and embarrassing (like our Britney Spears music videos). Could not imagine a wedding without her by my side. I will be needing all of her positive energy, jokes, and "everything is fine!" attitude on this beautifully stressful day. 

Sam Lanza

My brother from... well the same mother.  From fighting during floor hockey as kids to standing next to me on my wedding day, we have definitely gone through the full array of the sibling experience. I cant wait to have you there on the best day of my life.

Matt Lazarus

Star crossed best friends since 2012....how is it a girl from Florida has so many connections to Bellmore?! Thankful I wore a Mepham sweatshirt to breakfast freshman year to lead to many years of dance offs with strangers, mooching drinks off of random guys and Star Wars date nights. I am so beyond thankful for our friendship and cannot wait to see her owning the dance floor. 

Teresa Musumeci

Never a dull moment when you're around Tom and you never know what might come out of his mouth next.  From our Rangers vs Islanders rivalry to endlessly jamming to SmashMouth to suffering through PA school together, he is a friend I can't wait to have next to me on my wedding day.

Tom Rozea

After a brief period of teenage angst and drama, I am so #blessed to be such good friends again. I can always count on her to give it to me straight and be there when I need someone most. I know I can count on Limayry to get (and keep) the party going this weekend! 

Limayry Cruz

He has his MoJo. Golfing, naming athletes you've never heard of, trading, video games; he is a jack of all trades.  Over a decade of friendship and still going strong, I look forward to what the future holds!

Morey Stone

What to say about my literal ray of sunshine?! I am very thankful for our rekindled friendship; she is someone I can always count on to bring the charcuterie board and wine along with endless hours of laughs. Lizandra's party planning skills have had her training for role her whole life! 

Lizandra Cruz

My first friend from college and roommate for three years. Endless bickering and spontaneous phone calls/ facetimes has all led to one of my favorite friendships of my life.  Throughout any situation in life, Jack has a youtube clip to show you to make you laugh.

Jack Holiver

I knew our freshman year friendship would last when Kelly continued to chat with me despite the wet bun on top of my head and Winnie the Pooh pajamas at 1:00 pm. We have been through it all together and I could not be more grateful for our continued friendship. Her infectious laugh, bubbly personality and stellar dance moves make her more than qualified for the job.

Kelly Davis

Always the dad of the group, nobody ever went hungry when Matt was around. He is always ready to have a good time. Our personal fireman and security guard, Im not sure I would have made it through six years of school without him.

Matt Baxter

I truly cannot think of anyone better qualified for the role of bridesmaid. Catherine is the ultimate hype girl who can encourage anyone to have a good time. Only one year apart, we grew up inseparable and I truly could not imagine this day without her. 

Catherine Lanza

Dan has had quite the character arc during my 9 years of knowing him. From not hearing his voice for the first two years of Kristina and my relationship to to now golfing and some Mezcal on the weekends, I can't wait to have him as a new brother in my life.

Dan Lanza

Melissa has been one of my best friends for over 11 years. She has been there for me through all life has thrown at me, and for that I am forever grateful. Melissa's sweet, thoughtful and funny personality will brighten everyone's day this weekend, and I could not imagine a wedding day without her.

Melissa Handibode

My confidante and both the angel and devil on my shoulders. He has taught me to go with the flow and do what makes me happy. Everyone should have a friend in their life like Jimmy.

Jimmy Fraser

Meagan has been an incredible friend since the Darby's days at Marist. She is always down for a good time and will make this weekend that much more fun. I can always count on her to be prepared for anything- I know she will have a bag with bobby pins, water, ginger chews or whatever ready for anyone who needs! I am thankful we have stayed friends after college and can't wait to celebrate together! 

Meagan Ryan

Who knew shoving his face in ketchup on the first day of school in 5th grade would lead to me making a best friend and having him by my side on my wedding day. He never fails to check in and ask how me and my family are doing and he will always have a spot at my table for life.

Travel

We realize there is a large gap in between the wedding ceremony and the reception. Here is a list of some of our favorite things to do and places to go in between the two venues!

Fun brewery with plenty of beers on tap and some small bites to eat if you're hungry. 25 minutes from Flowerfield.

Blue Point Brewing Company

Small coffee shop off the beaten path with fun and different latte flavors such as Kit Kat and salted caramel pretzel. This place is cash only and 20 minutes from Flowerfield.

Coffee Booths

Grab a beer in between the ceremony and reception! Only 5 minutes from Flowerfield.

Saint James Brewery Tasting Room

A unique and delicious coffee spot in Bellmore town (2 minutes from the church) to grab some caffeine for the drive out east. If you are looking for a bite to eat, try any of their pastries or The Ramblin' Man sandwich! For those of you who don't like coffee, we recommend the Strawberry Fields Refresher. There is also a St. James location!

Soul Brew Bellmore

There is a bar in the hotel lobby- feel free to grab a drink here to get the party started!

Hyatt Regency Long Island- Hotel Bar

Tex Mex restaurant near Flowerfield. Brandon and Kristina love the chips and salsa!
