Groomsmen
Chris Russo - Best Man
I met Russo freshman year of high school in band and we've been best friends ever since. We see each other as often as we can despite the fact that he lives in Georgia now.
Justin Orlando - Groomsman
I met Justin freshman year of high school in Spanish class. Over the years we've bonded through both video games and CrossFit.
Saumya Banerjee - Groomsman
Saumya and I met through work around 2015 when I moved to the research & development team in Medtronic. He was (and still is) a valuable coworker who showed me the ropes and we quickly became friends because of our love of craft beer and good food.
Dan Steele - Groomsman
Dan and I met through mutual friends of Russo (best man) and spent a lot of time together before he moved down to Texas. I don't see him as often as I'd like but a value his outgoing nature and our spirited conversations.
Brian Wnek - Groomsman
Brian is the unfortunate soul married to my sister. I think he is one of the kindest and most genuine guys you'll ever meet and you can always count on him for good restaurant recommendations!
Bridesmaids
Sarah-Kate Marien - Maid of Honor
Sarah-Kate is my younger sister and I couldn't imagine getting married with anyone else as my maid of honor. She is the funniest person I know (just ask her!) and she makes everything I do with her so much more enjoyable (no pressure, but hopefully her maid of honor speech reflects this)! I'm so thankful for all her advice and strength she's provided me through the years and I'm so grateful to call her my favorite sister
Ashlyn Cooke - Bridesmaid
Ashlyn and I met working in the emergency department at Saint Raphael's Hospital. I've called Ashlyn screaming from joy and full of tears (and every emotion in between) and somehow she always knows what to say. She has been on 'team Roy' since the very beginning of our relationship and would constantly remind me not to mess it up.
Suki Hood - Bridesmaid
Suki and I also met through working in the emergency department and we quickly became friends and travel buddies. We've been to Thailand, New Orleans, and Cancun together - just to name a few. Suki has a way of being both bluntly honest but uplifting at the same time. She's so dependable that she's likely who I'd call if I ever got arrested and needed someone to come bail me out of jail.
Chrisanne Wnek - Bridesmaid
I joked to Roy before he introduced me to his family that he shouldn't do it unless he was prepared for them to love me more than they loved him - I'd like to think that came true with Chrisanne! She welcomed me into the family with open arms and I honestly couldn't imagine a better future sister-in-law! I always enjoy her company, advice, and delicious food!
Madison Sparago - Bridesmaid
Maddie is Roy's cousin and I was warned that she was 'a lot' before I met her. I think that was an accurate way to describe her - she's got a lot of energy, a lot of love, and she's a lot of fun! I appreciate her never ending enthusiasm and willingness to be help in any way possible!
Officiant
Jon Arpaia - Officiant
Jon is the husband of one of Roy's best friends, Devin. He's the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off your back if you needed it. When he graciously offered his justice of the peace services to us we couldn't say no. We are so excited to have our officiant be a personal friend and someone who's witnessed our relationship grow!
