Our Wedding

It all started at Franklin High School in 2016 and the fun and laughter has not stopped since. We’ve grown up together and are so excited to continue to grow old together.

Our Story

Photos

Marino is the grooms brother closest in age. If you knew the brothers when they were young, you probably remember them fighting nonstop. Over time, fists turned into harmless teasing with lots of laughs. 

Marino DiPonio

Nelson (Tito) is the brides brother and only sibling. He used to torture her as kids, but now he’s her very best friend. If you ask him, he'll tell you the torture made her a stronger person. **Official squad member. 

Nelson Ruiz

Probably the most relaxed of all the DiPonio siblings. You can find Rocco napping or spending some alone time almost 24/7. Despite this Rocco is very generous and is always looking out for the people around him. 

Rocco DiPonio

Steven is one of the brides closest cousins. He moved out of state at a young age but it has never affected the close relationship they share. He was another childhood torturer, also claiming it made her stronger. **Official squad member. 

Steven Rodriguez

Gino fits every “youngest sibling” stereotype in the book. Him and Johnny have always done everything together, so when Johnny started spending time with a girl, Gino was NOT happy.. and he let Yasmin know it. Now Yasmin and Gino get along better than anyone else, he’s the little brother she never had. 

Gino DiPonio

Josh is another one of the brides closest cousins. He also lives out of state, but everytime they are back together it’s like they were never apart. The final childhood torturer of the bride, although he was usually the least mean. **Official squad member.

Joshua Rodriguez

Johnny’s best friend since 2nd Grade. The 2 became friends when Johnny approached Ben at indoor recess and said “Hey, do you wanna be my friend” and the rest is history. 

Ben Raisch

Angelina is the grooms sister, but has become like a sister to the bride. She has the biggest heart and the loudest mouth in the room. She will make her opinions HEARD.

Angelina DiPonio

Christina is the brides cousin and the person she has always looked up to. Growing up across the street from one another, Yasmin and Christina have been inseparable from the start. Some of Yasmin’s favorite childhood memories are from Christina always letting her tag along. The brides twin flame.

Christina Ruiz

Nadia is the grooms cousin and Yasmin’s favorite dance partner. She has always been our biggest cheerleader. If you need a pick me up, Nadia will laugh at absolutely anything you say and we love her for it! 

Nadia Troiani

Divina has recently married into the brides family and has quickly become one of the brides favorite people. They have clicked from the instant they met and although she lives out of state, they pick up right where they left off whenever they get the chance to reunite.

Divina Rodriguez

Bella is the grooms younger sister and the younger sister Yasmin always dreamed of. She’s the life of the party and not afraid to voice her opinions. We expect Bella to show up at our house and invite herself to stay, and wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Isabella DiPonio

Selina is the grooms cousin and the most indecisive person you’ll ever meet. She is probably the one person in the grooms family who will NOT give an opinion. She is the sweetest person and has become one of Yasmin’s closest friends.

Selina Canestraro

Vassilia and the bride met in college and became close instantly. Johnny would often get jealous that Yasmin was texting her “girlfriend” so often. She is the best friend that Yasmin can count on being in her life forever. 

Vassilia Palazis

Norina is Johnnys cousin, but if you ask her she’s Yasmin’s cousin. She’s the cutest and sassiest little girl. She’s the grooms family gem and she knows it. We love her and her big personality!

Norina Mainella

Piru is Yasmin's cousin and the sweetest little boy. He is full of energy and we cannot wait to see him in his little tux!
