Meet our family and friends who will be walking us down the aisle!
William & Deborah Lewis - Parents of the Groom
Jacob & Aruna Kumaresan - Parents of the Bride
Christopher (Buddy) Lewis - Best Man and Matt's brother
My name is Chris and I'm Matt's younger brother. Though we may go about things in a different way, Matt and I tend to see things the same. I’ve learned a lot from him over the years, and he’s played a big part in making me who I am today. He was a great role model, and he always gives 100%. I didn’t always love that when we were playing any sort of game against him, but I know now that it’s one of his best traits. Through countless baseball tournaments and times he generously let me hang out with him and his friends, I’ve come to know most of Matt’s traits. And I see the best ones when he’s with Talitha. I’m very honored to be a part of their special day.
Daniela DiCapua - Maid of Honor
Hi! I’m Daniela, Talitha’s friend from Union. I currently live in Boston, but grew up in Pound Ridge, NY, which made for the best road trips with Talitha (and Hayley, another bridesmaid) to and from school during our holiday breaks! I am so honored to be be a part of Matt & Talitha’s special day, and can’t wait to continue celebrating with everyone!
Favorite memories: Sitting with Talitha in the RA’s office while she was on duty and spending the entire night talking about whether or not she should reach out to Matt.
Salvatore Vetri - Groomsman
Hello beautiful people!
I’m Sal, I own & operate a sports media company called Vetri Media.
Alright, here’s the honest truth:
I’m incredibly honored to be a part of this wedding.
Matt has played a huge role in my life…
He’s the most reliable person I know.
Let me paint you a picture of how much I trust this fella.
While in the Rocky Mountains, we had to drive up quite literally the sketchiest road I’ve ever seen. Inches away from 1,000+ footcliffs with no guard rails (wtf?!)… I didn’t even give myself the option to drive. “Matty Lew take the wheel!”
My favorite memories with Matt are any time music is playing or food is present. Dancing the night away & eating loads of good food with absolutely no judgement? That’s a special kind of friendship.
I could go on and on about how I wish I was marrying Matt…
But in all seriousness, I love the kid & I’m incredibly happy for him & Talitha.
Hayley Bennett - Bridesmaid
Hey everyone! I’m Hayley and I’m Tali’s friend from college. Talitha and I lived on the same floor freshman year, and I’ve witnessed her and Matt move from friends to dating to the effortlessly loving couple that they embody today. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of the wedding party/all of the unadulterated joy and chaos that is sure to follow!
My favorite recent memory: sharing Christmas cookies—and once, pajamas;)—with her family during the holidays.
My favorite memory of all time: One time freshman year I looked over at Talitha who was sitting in her dorm room bed and chatting lightly with the group. When I looked a little closer I realized that the arm that she was leaning on was somehow shaking violently under the weight of her teeny tiny frame. I am so honored to call her my friend and she is so strong in absolutely every sense of the word, except, it turns out, her upper body.
Justin Hartman - Groomsman
Hey everyone! I live in Bethlehem , PA where I spend most of my time working, cooking and playing golf.
I have been friends with Matt since 6th grade. Some of the best memories I have of us are on the baseball field as we have spent half our lives on different teams playing and traveling together.
I am honored to be a part of this special day for Matt and Talitha and I wish them all the best.
Alexandra Mignucci - Bridesmaid
After living with Talitha in college and now for the past four years in med school, I have known her, her love for all things dessert related, and Matt for a long time! I love them both and can’t wait to see what’s next for them!
Bryan Castrogiovanni - Groomsman and Matt's brother in-law
I am married to Matt's gorgeous older sister Alex. Even though I married Alex, Matt’s photo was the first of the Lewis’ to be hung up in my family household. Through sports, and my brother briefly dating Matt’s other sister in high school, I’ve always known the Lewis clan, but it was after dating Alex that Matt and I truly became close friends. When Matt brought Talitha home we instantly hit it off becoming best friends, and we have the bracelets to prove it. I currently live in Montrose Pa, where I enjoy hunting, shooting, watching rugby and spending time with my family.
Alex Castrogiovanni - Bridesmaid and Matt's sister
I'm the Grooms older sister. My husband Bryan and I live in Pennsylvania with our two tiny humans, Mila and Tate. I am a pediatric physical therapist and love spending time with family. We all instantly loved Talitha when she and Matt started dating. My favorite memory with her is when she came to visit the cows at my husband's family farm. There's now even a cow named Talitha! I am so excited and honored to be a part of the wedding and can't wait to officially welcome Aunt Talitha into the family.
Mike Kumaresan - Groomsman and Talitha's brother
After helping to feed her and change her diapers, it’s hard to believe my little baby sister is getting married! I teach high school students for a living and enjoy reading, making music, playing sports and spending time with my wife and 1 year old daughter.
Erin Kumaresan - Bridesmaid and Talitha's sister in-law
My name is Erin Kumaresan, and I’m Tali’s sister-in-law. I first met her when she was a high school freshman. I had just started dating her oldest brother, Mike. Since then she has grown from a smart and ambitious teen to a driven, caring and beautiful woman. I’m so happy that she and Matt found each other and look forward to celebrating with everyone.
Corey Ross-Robertson - Groomsman and Matt's brother in-law
Hello, I'm Corey. Matt and I’s friendship goes back to middle school and high school. We played sports, attended soccer camps, dominated an SAT prep class together, and have shared many-a-chuckles over the years.
When I started dating his twin sister, I could tell Matt was a little apprehensive at first. Over time, he came to see that his sister was happy and he told me: “if one of my friends had to date my sister, I’m glad it is you.”
Today, I introduce myself to everyone I meet, including strangers, as: “Matt Lewis’s brother in law.” I do this because being Matt’s brother in law is truly a great honor! I often get accused of marrying his twin sister Nicki just to get closer to Matt. I deny these accusations in the strongest of terms while I plot and scheme my way into standing even closer to Matt on his wedding day.
Nicki and I were so honored to have Talitha recite a prayer at our wedding. She already feels like family to us and It is clear Talitha makes Matt a very happy man. I love hearing him talk about their future together and I can tell they will be best friends and quality life partners for each other. Congratulations to you both.
Nichole Lewis - Bridesmaid and Matt's sister
I’m blessed to know the bride through my twin brother, the groom! I live in Los Angeles with my husband, Corey, and our dog, Millie. I teach first grade and love to travel, eat, and geek out over Harry Potter. I’m weirdly passionate about organization and consider cleaning a form of self-care. I’ve always admired the way Talitha and Matt challenge each other and bring out the best in one another. I’m beyond excited to officially welcome Talitha into the family in May!
Jon Kumaresan - Groomsman and Talitha's brother
I am the younger, older-brother of Talitha. I live in Pleasantville, NY and lead a team of data engineers. I'm excited to get the party started!
Kavya Kumaresan - Bridesmaid and Talitha's sister in-law
I'm the one you can come to for any dance advice. I'm Talitha’s favorite sister-in-law (JK). Though I haven't know Tali for long, she has always been nice and friendly to me. Matt is one lucky guy. I'm sure they are going to be a fabulous couple. I am honored to be a part of their special day.
