Wedding Party

Keirstin Black

Matron of Honor

Sister of the Bride We ironically met on the day I was born (what a coincidence!). No, we are not twins. No, we have not always liked each other and had a sisterly bond - that happened after she moved out. Nonetheless, we love road trips, going to the fair, going on hikes and getting food together!

Zachary Verde

Best Man

Brother of the Groom Does being the groom's only brother mean automatically becoming the Best Man? Zach Verde would tell you otherwise. There through it all, Zach has watched Alanna and I grow into what we are today and will deliver the greatest Best Man speech you've ever heard (....he hopes).

Gianna Romano

Maid of Honor

We bonded over crushes (and first kisses) on boys at 4 years old, and instantly became double the trouble! We are each others other halves, and I could not think of anyone else than her to be my maid of honor!

Chris Gabriel

Groomsman

One of my closest friends, Chris has taught, mentored, and coached me into the successes I experience today. He also has probably indirectly made my relationship with Alanna exponentially better.....with some very well timed advice over the past decade.

Allyson Dutcher

Bridesmaid

The only girl to become my friend after I beat up our Principal in Elementary School (everyone else was, for some reason, scared of me!). Since then, we have bonded after the years and have shared the best and worst experiences with each other.

Jacob Kaminski

Groomsman

Brother of the Bride Where do I begin....Although I've lived the first quarter of my life with only one brother, I suppose there's room to add another. Welcome to the fam, bro!

Laura Matos

Bridesmaid

The first (and only) friend I met since moving to NYC. Without her I honestly could not have survived the worst school I have ever worked in. We bonded over Disney (and booked a spontaneous trip there after quitting said job), being picky eaters and country music (and attending two concerts together). She is also gave birth to my newest best friend in January 2023!

John Capovani

Groomsman

Hailey Ketchum

Bridesmaid

My little mini me. The girl who gets all my hand me downs, and the one I always try to get out of her comfort zone.

Marco Landi

Groomsman

"If you don't live on campus, you'll never make any friends in college!". To the naysayers I say, talk to Mr. Landi! A kid from Amsterdam and Coxsackie are bound to get along, there's just something about that small town blood! Incredibly grateful to have Marco be a part of this special day.

Addison Smullen

Flower Girl

The most spontaneous, spunky girl who shows fearlessness on a daily basis! The pasta loving queen and our little flower girl!

Benjamin Smullen

Ring Bearer

The little boy who made our hearts grow 10 sizes bigger! Our little miracle boy, who is the funniest, sweetest and smartest little boy we know! Just wait until you meet him, I promise your heart will grow, too!

Joan Parillo

Flower Girl

Interested to learn more about farm animals? Joan is your gal. Curious what everyone's name is AND the fact that they are indeed, eating dinner at the same time as her? Ms. Joanie Bologna is your girl. This little boss babe will always keep you on your toes!

Ariel Parillo

Officiant

From bickering with my father for "picking" on me, to Just Dance in the Verde living room on Christmas, all the way to marrying Alanna and I on our special day, I guess you can say she's been there through it all. Ariel and weddings just go together.....or at least that's what I've convinced myself after watching her own wedding video an embarrassing number of times.
