Reception

Our Wedding

We met the old fashioned way, on the dating app "Coffee Meets Bagel".&nbsp; Our first date was at Rosie's Wine Bar, where we shared kebabs and talked for hours.&nbsp;

As we got to know each other better, Ryan was introduced to the most important man in Maria's life:&nbsp;Hadley.





Hadley was very protective of Maria at first, but then he&nbsp;really took a liking to Ryan.&nbsp; After the first meeting, Ryan and Hadley have been inseparable.





Since June, the three of us live happily&nbsp;together in Cranford.&nbsp; Hadley has his own suite with a queen bed, yet he always chooses&nbsp;to snuggle in our bed&nbsp;between us!





We love to go on adventures together.&nbsp; Whether we are hiking the mountains of New Jersey or biking around town, we always have the best time together.



On Christmas Eve, Ryan proposed to Maria (with the help of Hadley) in the most special way -- by hand crafting a scrapbook of our relationship!&nbsp;

We are so excited and honored to be able to share this special day with the people we love!&nbsp;

Our Story

Our Fur Baby

Details

Adri is an amazing little sister who is also passionately shaping the minds of children as a first grade teacher and yoga enthusiast! We have shared so many memories it's almost impossible to pick out just a few. Our bond has only grown stronger through the years, and I couldn't be more grateful to have her in my life as a sister, friend, and now, maid of honor! When not going on sister weekend get-aways, we might be found shopping and, in particular, laughing uncontrollably at each other as we try on ridiculous hats in a department store.&nbsp;

Adriana Chiappelli

Brandon is the best man!

We have been brothers ever since he was born.&nbsp; Growing up, we were best friends!&nbsp; We&nbsp;loved playing video games, waterskiing, and being goofy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

For his job, he is a professional Frisbee player for the&nbsp;&nbsp;Philadelphia Phoenix.&nbsp;&nbsp;In his spare time he works as a Mechanical Engineer at NAVAIR.

Brandon Pastor

Joe and I have been best friends ever since high school.&nbsp; This goes without saying, but Joe and I were the most popular kids&nbsp;in school.&nbsp; After school we were able to showcase our talents in the arena;&nbsp; The Super Smash Bros arena.&nbsp; We spent countless hours playing basketball in Grant park, throwing wild parties in Joe's basement, and crushing it on the cornhole court.

After college, Joe and I&nbsp;became roommates.&nbsp; We were like two wild stallions roaming the streets of Hoboken.&nbsp; Not too long after we became roommates, I left him for Maria.&nbsp; And the rest, as they say, is history.

Joseph Breslin

Irem and I have been friends since our first day of graduate school at UMass Amherst. Together we survived countless hours of studying for our qualifying exams through laughter, lots of snacks and constant support. She is incredibly strong, warm and loving. Irem introduced me to the wonders of Turkish culture and cuisine (she is an amazing cook!). Since finishing graduate school, Irem is now a successful scientist at 3M in Minnesota, but no amount of distance can ever keep us apart! We look forward to each and every visit and phone calls in between.&nbsp;

Irem Bolukbasi

Jessica is my lovely little cousin (who is way taller than me) and soon-to-be graduate of the Fashion Institue of Technology. She is sweet, giving and might be one of the biggest Disney fans you will ever meet! In addition to school and work, Jessica has a special way with dogs and enjoys dog sitting. While crazy Hadley gave her a hard time initially, she and Will were patient enough to allow him to finally warm up to them (quite a big accomplishment as many of you know!).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Jessica Cimino

I have known Jimmy ever since elementary school.&nbsp; Jimmy and I were known for our skills on the St Joe's CYO basketball team.&nbsp; Jimmy led the league in points scored, and I led the league in number of shots that hit the gym ceiling.

In school, we were true scholars.&nbsp; For our big 5th grade project, we invented the country of "Ball-ivia" (A clever play on the spelling of the country of Bolivia).&nbsp; The country was centered around sporting equipment (baseballs, basketballs, even tennis balls...you get the idea).&nbsp; As we grew older, so did our love for the sciences.&nbsp; In middle school, we performed a groundbreaking experiment when we examined the effects of different colored lights on plants.&nbsp; We concluded that plants don't like it when you cover them in different colored cellophane wrap.

Jimmy Brennan

Rachel and I first met during her graduate interview at UMass Amherst and have been friends ever since! We have shared countless adventures and phone calls across the miles. Most recently, we ventured to Waco, TX during Rachel's post-doc to explore Magnolia Market and Silos Baking Co. (who doesn't love HGTV and Chip and JoAnna?). In addition to being an incredible person and friend, Rachel is also an amazing scientist! She soon starts her dream position of professor at the University of Virginia!&nbsp;

Rachel Letteri

I have known Kevin ever since elementary school.&nbsp; Kevin is wise in the ways of science.&nbsp; In addition to knowing that ducks float, he plays with radioactive materials for fun.&nbsp;&nbsp;Kevin is also very much into curling (the sport, not his hair).

Kevin Risolo

Kristen and I are (nearly!) lifelong friends, having met in Mrs. Maslow's first grade class when I moved to Eastchester. From late night Barbie Dream Date and hot chocolate after trick-or-treating, to Senior prom, to Kristen and Brian's beautiful wedding, we have shared many of life's major moments together and can't wait to continue to the next! Kristen is a successful elementary school teacher and mom to the adorable fur baby Benny!

Kristen Malesardi

Yevgeniy is like a brother to me.&nbsp; Mostly because of how close we are, but also mostly because Yevgeniy and Brandon are exactly the same person.&nbsp;

I&nbsp;like to think that Yevgeniy is the person responsible for setting me and Maria up on our first date.&nbsp; Without Yevgeniy, I&nbsp;never would have thought to try Coffee Meets Bagel.

Yevgeniy just finished up his PhD&nbsp;in mechanical engineering from University of Michigan, and just took a job&nbsp;working as a professor in the tropical city of Syracuse.

Mark has been a part of my family since we first met him.&nbsp; We would always play basketball in Grant Park, and then go back to where all the cool kids were hanging out to play some intense board games and Super Smash Brothers.Mark currently lives in Buffalo and&nbsp;works in a marketing firm playing with the Twitter all day.&nbsp; He is also our group expert in digital media&nbsp;and teaches us how to do amazing photoshops.&nbsp;

Brittany and I have been friends since middle school when she moved to Eastchester. Brittany is the sweetest person, both as a kind-hearted, giving friend and in her work as an accomplished and super talented pastry chef. If you would like to experience the most delicious macarons (and countless other baked goods) you have ever had, or the most beautiful flowers crafted out of sugar, look no further than the amazing Brittany!

Brittany Vellucci

Adorable and sweet, Alana Lee is also a graceful and talented dancing&nbsp;competition champ and we have the honor of having her as our flower girl!

Alana Lee Sargeant

Logan is the ring bearer for our special day!&nbsp; Logan enjoys watching the classic films such as Toy Story, and Toy Story 2.&nbsp; He is a recent graduate from Bounce University, where he attends all of his birthday parties.&nbsp; In his free time, he enjoys playing with his dog, Mr. Weenie.&nbsp; Logan also gives the best high fives in the world!
