Wedding Party
Chelsea Cichon
Matron of Honor
Chelsea is Alissa's identical twin sister. They are two minutes apart. Alissa is Baby A and Chelsea is Baby B. Alissa and Chelsea grew up playing every and any sport together. They also grew up trying to trick as many people as possible. Hopefully everyone will be able to tell the twins apart at the wedding. Chelsea and Alissa played lacrosse in college, which was the first time they ever separated. They still have a love for sports. Chelsea is married and resides in Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. She has a son named Maverick who will be one and a half in July. Alissa is Maverick's God Mother. Maverick is part of the Ring Security Team.

Margo is Erica's first child and Alissa's niece aka "Aunt Aleeesa". Margo is the flower girl. Erica resides with her family in North Jersey. She works as an Awards Director for a company called Mischief. When Erica isn't doing Matron of Honor duties you can find her watching Housewives on Bravo on repeat.
Jaclyn Collins
Maid of Honor
Alissa and Jaclyn met at Drexel University where the two played lacrosse together. Jaclyn was a junior when Alissa was a freshman. Their friendship began instantly on the field as Jaclyn took Alissa under her wing and the two made many memories together starting as the team's offensive attackers. Due to Jaclyn red shirting her freshman year, Alissa and Jaclyn were able to play two years together. The two remained close even after graduating college. Jaclyn works as a second grade teacher in Pennsylvania and coaches lacrosse at the local high school. Jaclyn married in July 2024. Alissa approved of Jaclyn's now husband right away after finding out he is a Michigan State basketball fan. The two have a beautiful baby girl named Lola born in April 2025.
Jill Schneck
Maid of Honor
Jill and Alissa met teaching at Shrewsbury Borough School. Jill taught first grade and Alissa taught second grade. Alissa and Jill spent a lot of time hanging out, cooking dinners, walking the boardwalk, and trying to meet eligible bachelors. Huge shout out to Jill for helping set Alissa and Scott up for their first date! Alissa and Jill continue to work together at another school called New Monmouth Elementary School in Middletown, NJ. Jill is a reading specialist. Jill got married in 2024. She had a beautiful baby girl named Evie in October 2024.
Michele Fischer
Maid of Honor
Alissa and Michele met at a very young age as competitive gymnasts at All American Gymnastics. Alissa and Michele have continued their friendship through adulthood. Alissa and Michele spent a lot of time in high school and college breaks working together at her mom's bagel store called What About A Bagel in Ocean Township, NJ. Dr. Fischer is a Gastroenterology Fellow at Georgetown University Hospital. Michele is married to Luke Powell. The two reside in Washington D.C. In April 2024, they welcomed a handsome baby boy named Miles.
Jess Johnson
Maid of Honor
Jess is married to Scott's brother Mark. Jess grew up on the west coast but has come to love the Jersey Shore. Mark and Jess met and wed in California. Jess works for Thrivent. Thrivent is a holistic financial service organization. When she's not working you can find her on the soccer field sidelines and in the basketball stands cheering on her two sons Liam and Rory in soccer and basketball.
Mark Johnson
Best Man
Mark was the more athletic, more popular older brother, while Scott fared better in the classroom. Mark may have the height advantage (a solid three inches), but Scott insists he got the better end of the genetic deal—at least in the looks department. After a decade-long West Coast adventure, Mark made his triumphant return to NJ to start a family, but no matter where he’s been, he’s always been a loyal big brother. Mark's two sons Liam and Rory are part of the Ring Security Team.
Keith Cantwell
Groomsman
Scott met Keith in 4th grade in Mrs. Smith’s class, where Keith quickly established himself as the superior athlete, especially in baseball. Meanwhile, Scott dominated in the one arena where Keith could never keep up— Halo. Their friendship survived high school, college, and adulthood, proving that a little balance (and a lot of late-night gaming) is the key to a lifelong bond.
Chris Wernikowski
Groomsman
Scott and Chris became next-door neighbors at age 8 and have been inseparable ever since. They tackled high school together, made the occasional college road trip—Scott to JMU, Chris to Seton Hall—and somehow both ended up living in Union City at different times, just one block apart. Chris was not only the better soccer player (by a lot) but also an incredible drummer and surfer. He even claimed the title of prom king, while Scott had to settle for the honor of being lifelong friends with royalty.
Chase Smith
Groomsman
Scott met Chase freshman year at Seton Hall when they lived next door to each other—an arrangement that quickly escalated into three years of off-campus cohabitation, countless inebriated nights, and highly questionable attempts at impressing women. The duo took their talents to Hoboken in their mid-20s, proving that some friendships (and hangovers) only get stronger with time.
John Dillon Watts
Groomsman
From the moment Scott met Dillon (Alissa's younger brother) nearly three years ago, their relationship has been built on mutual respect, friendly competition, and Dillon absolutely destroying him in NCAA Football on Xbox (70-3… a score that will never be forgotten). He’s a die-hard Mets fan, while Scott is loyal to the Marlins, meaning they’ve spent plenty of time bonding over shared baseball misery. He’s a dedicated runner in great shape, while Scott… well, Scott appreciates a good meal—especially fast food, which they both love, though Dillon only eats it after a night out (Scott has no such limitations). Scott’s respect for Dillon skyrocketed when Dillon, mildly inebriated at a Phillies/Mets game in Philly, and unprovoked, started yelling at nearby Phillies fans - proof that his Mets loyalty knows no bounds. Scott also appreciates Dillon’s competitive side - especially when it comes to Taboo, where Dillon takes no prisoners. Whether it’s bringing energy, laughter, or a fierce will to win, he’s the kind of person who makes any moment more memorable.
