Wedding Party
Samantha Balletti
Maid of Honor
Samantha and I have been best friends for 29 years, sharing everything from childhood sleepovers to major life milestones. She's truly like a second sister to me—someone who’s always been there with laughter, love, and unwavering support. We've grown up together, cheered each other on through every phase of life, and created countless unforgettable memories. She’s also the incredible mom of my beautiful goddaughter, Isabel.
Cody Taintor
Best Man
Cody was my first friend I made out of high school and his family was instantly so welcoming and accepting that I was just going to be on their couch every weekend going forward. Cody has always been the friend to push me to want more for myself and is much of the reason for what I have accomplished today and an even bigger reason that I've traveled to the places I've been.
AnnaMaria Cichielo
Bridesmaid
AnnaMaria is my little sister, and having her by my side on my wedding day means the world to me. Like all siblings, we’ve had our ups and downs, but she’s always been there when it matters most. Her loyalty, strength, and love are constants in my life, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her.
Lawrence Anderson
Groomsman
To be bluntly honest, we grew up hating each other, we both had giant egos, then something clicked in freshman year and he's grown to be a life long friend. From 4 A.M. nights playing xbox, to driving six hours on an hours notice, he's always been down for any adventure thrown his direction and will out eat you at the dessert buffet, don't challenge him.
Clare VanAllen
Bridesmaid
Clare has been my sister-in-law for 15 years, and in that time, she’s become so much more than family—she’s a true friend. She has a heart of gold and the most caring spirit. I love spending time with her and my brother, whether we’re cooking together, hanging out at the beach, or just enjoying a quiet evening. I’m so happy she’s part of this special day!
Ryan Szelc
Groomsman
Ryan has been my longest friend, 21 years to be exact. We have been there for each other for all of life's moments from graduations, to prom, to marriage to the birth of his first child, Briella. From nerf gun wars, to swim and track practice, to working together, Ryan has always been there.
