Amanda Bregler- Maid of Honor/ Walking Maria Down

Amanda and I have a friendship most people on the outside will never understand. She and I have literally overcome everything that could tear any other relationship apart. She is the most amazing Aunt to my children, my saving grace in the darkest moments, and my biggest cheerleader as I am all the same things for her. She is to thank for even meeting Zack to begin with, so of course this day would be incomplete without her.


Bridesmaid - Jennifer Higman

Jen & I became friends in an instant after meeting through a common acquaintance. Our friendship has withstood more challenges that many friendships would crumble under. We leaned on each other during the challenges of motherhood, relationship troubles, and life in general.


Gianna Boccelli- Jr Bridesmaid

Gianna is the first little girl to ever steal me heart, my first niece. I have had the joy of watching Gianna grow up & form an unbreakable bond with Caleb. As they met so many milestones together. She may be as tall as me now, but she is always going to be that tiny little girl who stole my heart.


Ryleigh Boccelli-Flower Girl

Where, oh where to begin with Ryleigh. Ry is the sweetest, slightly sassy, most empathetic little girl. For all the sweetness she holds, she is also just as strong and can handle her own with the big kids. She can put a smile on your face on the worst of days. She knows she is always going to hold that special place in Aunt Ria's heart.


Bryan Boccelli Jr.-Ring Barer

Bryan was the third amigo to join the cousin gang, and the second little boy to steal my heart. For the longest time he was the comedian of the group, now he gets to show off his contagious laugh as they all have become jokesters. Bryan is a bright, loving, and caring boy. Who I know one day will make a caring & considerate man.


Caleb & Jace Dare- Children of the Bride

These two have endured every up & down with me. They have grown up, as I have also grown. They make my heart whole. Even if they give us most of our stress & grey hairs without these two, life would be boring. Without them, our family wouldn't be everything it has already grown to be.


Jeff Gieges- Best Man

Ever feel sorry for the homeless guy on the street, and you feel like you will get good karma for helping them out? That is my friendship with Zack in a nutshell.


Carson Brotz- Groomsmen

I've known Zack since middle school, maybe earlier. As we've grown up, we've become better friends. Weather it was playing sports together, spending countless summer nights hanging out, or catching up when we've had the time as we've grown older & life's taken us in different directions. I am honored to be a part of his wedding day and congratulate Zack and Maria.


John Kownacky- Groomsmen

Zack and I have been friends since the beginning of Walden Way. We grew up together, played sports together, spent countless hours playing Xbox, and hanging out by his pool.


Jon Swanson- Groomsmen

I met Zack at a practice session at the start of a race season at Bridgeport. Zack was wearing a Kings College t-shirt & I felt like I had to talk to him because I also graduated from Kings. We learned they both had so much in common & that's how our friendship grew.


Dave Swanson- Flowerman/Officiant

I met Zack at a Bridgeport practice where we bonded over sprint cars. We figured out we lived close and became friends. I learned that Zack has a great heart and goes the extra mile for his friends.
