There is no better person to be my Maid of Honor besides my sister. We have been through everything together and she is by far my best friend. On top of that, she knows Nick and I as a couple better than anyone. My favorite thing to do with her is to play boardgames together, until she teams up against me with Nick! Although we were not always close when we were young, cause she had to deal with following in my footsteps lol, I can't wait to have her by my side on the big day!
Jason Vanni - Best Man
Like any younger brother Jason was always curious what I was up to. He was always following me around, looking at everything I was doing. Whether I liked it or not he was there, taking part in nerf gun wars with me and my friends as kids, or trying to keep up with all of us in pick up basketball games. With everything Jason and I have been through and memories we have made as brothers I can't imagine a more perfect fit for my Best Man.
Courtney Youmans - Bridesmaid
I have known Courtney since high school. From vacations at the lake, to roughing it camping, you can always find us playing rummy for hours. For years, Courtney was regularly cutting and treating my hair while we watched That 70's Show, it was the best salon experience lol. Even with her in another time zone, we always stay updated in each others lives. I am so excited to be a part of her upcoming wedding and for her to be in mine. No doubt in my mind, we will be singing Miley Cyrus while getting ready for the big day.
Matthew Walker - Groomsman
I have known Matt for a very long time, really ever since I can remember. Once we were old enough to play halo thats all we did. Soon after that it was all bad youtube videos and nerf gun fights. Sometime during high school Matt got the title as the friend group therapist, but not because he told you what you wanted to hear but what you needed to hear even if you didn't want to. And that is the reason I couldn't imagine not having him by my side at the wedding. He's the greatest friend a guy could ask for. Plus he owns a gym.
Jacqueline Vanni - Bridesmaid
Jackie is Nick's cousin, but I totally stole her. It all started with us sneaking away at family events to hangout and eventually we started hanging out outside family events. Recently Jackie has taken on the task of taming my crazy frizzy hair. We are always playing games when we hangout and she got Nick and I hooked on the switch. She has gotten both of us addicted to every game she recommends and we can't thank her enough for that. Not to mention she is my birthday twin! I am so excited to have my future cousin as one of my bridesmaids.
Malcolm Zimage - Groomsman
Malcolm has always been a friend I can count on. Whether it is just hanging out talking on xbox or helping me build something. For years we were friends on xbox but never met face to face. We finally met in person after high school. Thats when we both really started to find out we both loved woodworking and a few years later started working together. Even after many arguments over measurements,
I always know he is there no matter what and I couldn't ask for more out of a groomsman.
Kristen Anastopoulos - Bridesmaid
When I think of college, I think of Kristen. We met on the first day and became roommates for the majority of college. Most of my favorite college memories are with this lovely lady. From driving around listening to music after class, to spending countless hours in study rooms, and of course all the college parties and concerts, this lady was my rock. Kristen also knows Nick very well considering Nick lived in our dorm every weekend. I love this girl and I can't wait to celebrate together!
Tylor Porter - Groomsman
Tylor transferred to my middle school one year after Garret. Soon after that we were all hanging out doing stupid things around town. Staying up late playing xbox, and after a few years, we were driving around causing chaos wherever we went. You can always count on Tylor to make last second plans that end up being crazy memories later on. Most importantly, you can also alway count on him to blow you up mid mission in GTA.
Garret Ward - Officiant/Groomsman
The squirrel from Colorado. Out of all the schools Garret could of moved to I'm glad it was mine. Not just because we needed an officiant, but because of all the craziness that got us there. Late nights exploring places around town or playing Xbox till the sun comes up. Can't wait for all the craziness once you get back from being uncle Sam's bitch. (Nick) -----------------------------------
This man was there right at the beginning. He was the one who had to deal with me saying I wanted to hangout with Nick but was too afraid to alone. He was there for our first kiss and he will officiate the first kiss of marriage. Thanks for getting us together Garebear, I'm forever grateful. (Shauna)
Mikey & Jacqui Pojani - Ring Bearers
I have had many babysitters when I was a kid but these two by far were my favorite. Mikey and Jackie would come over to watch Jason and I and the whole time we would just play games, most notably the Xbox Kinect adventure games. It was an easy fun way to tire us out so we wouldn't fight with each other like brothers do. Jason and I put away our brotherly rivalry when we were the ring bearers for their wedding. It was such a great experience and made so many memories I couldn't think of a more perfect couple to be our ring bearers. (Nick) ---------------We are so excited to have Mikey and Jacqui as our ring bearers. Jacqui has always been my go to at family events. We are always tied to the hip talking with a drink in our hand. I am so grateful she pulled me in and made me feel comfortable right from the start. (Shauna)
Austin Lee - Flower Man
Since boy scouts, Austin has been making not only me, but all of our friends laugh. There is never dull moment when he is around.
These two are the funniest duo we know, we can't wait for them to put on a show!
Nathaniel Webb - Flower Man
Everyone needs that one ridiculously tall, hilarious friend and that is exactly what Nate is. Nate and Austin make the perfect pair for chaos, partying, and throwing flowers.
