Wedding Party

Emma-Leigh Emmons

Maid of Honor

My first sister. The sister I prayed for. My 11 year old self cried uncontrollably the day we found out I was FINALLY getting my sister. It is a day forever engraved in my heart. We left the doctors office that day and people were worried something might be wrong but I assured everyone in the office that everything was great, I was getting my little sister! My joy never faded and I am still so thankful for this girl. I am proud to see the smart young woman she becoming everyday. Nothing can replace the bond between us and I am blessed to have this answered prayer as my Maid Of Honor on our wedding day! "Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway."

Andrea Dustin

Matron of Honor

Andrea has been my best friend for a long time and she was the very first person I called to say "you are never going to believe this" when Mike first asked me out! We have shared in many life events over our 8+ years of friendship and I am so thankful we have been at each others side. Andrea is the person who can listen to me complain and not judge me afterwards. The person to tell me if I'm being crazy or over the top. The person who will call me because she read a great book or devotion. The person who celebrates my joys and allows me to share in hers. I have looked forward to this time of being "The Bride" for so long and I am beyond thankful to have Andrea at my side as my Matron Of Honor.

Brittany Kline

Bridesmaid

In part, I have Britt to thank for the friendships with a lot of my Bridal party (and even with Mike)! She is the person who invited my family to try CrossPoint Church. Since then, I have been able to form so many relationships that I could not imagine my life without. Thanks Britt! Brittany has always been there to encourage my endeavors and help support me in whatever it was I was doing at the time. Being the *most* level headed one in the family, she is also the first one I will call on for advice when something is stressful or overwhelming. Brittany always encourages and has been a huge blessing since embarking on this journey of planning a wedding and all the things that come along with it. I am so grateful for her role in my life!

Jessica Di Pietro

Bridesmaid

The cousin who took me to my first horror movie (we screamed SO loud in that theater)! She is the person who would have me over for sleepovers at the Point house (to watch more scary movies). The person who would pick me up after work so we could go get pedicures. She is also the person who would test new hair colors on me when she was in cosmetology school (it always ended well). Jessica has always has a way of making me feel special and listened to. She is a strong woman and she shares that strength with others around her and I am thankful for the influence Jess had on me growing up. I cherish the many memories we had made together I am looking forward to sharing in the excitement of the coming months with her.

Shanna Biesterfeld

Bridesmaid

COUSIN BRIDES! Shanna got engaged just a few short months after Mike and I and I think it is SO fun to have someone to share the joys (and horrors) of wedding planning with! Shanna is the cousin closest to my age so when it comes to being little kids, I can think so many fun things that we got to do together! From playing with her massive american dolls collection to trick-or-treating, I got to be the "little cousin" that tagged along and I LOVED IT. She even taught me how to drive (and later crash) the golf carts on the farm! I know I can count on Shanna to always have my back whenever needed. She has the biggest heart and will always be there to jump in and support me. As we embark on the next phase of life together, I am so thankful to have her at my side!

Tuesday Broughman

Bridesmaid

The Tennessee Titans fan of the family. Tuesday is a fierce woman with a kind heart to those around her. She will be the first one to go to bat for her family but will also be the first person to pull over on the site of the road to help a turtle safely get across. Tuesday has showed me how to be strong and to not be walked on but to also be kind and appreciate the little things around you. Her sense of adventure and her willingness to try new things is just one little thing that I truly appreciate her. Tuesday has bright and fun spirit is the life of the party at any family event and I am counting on her to add a whole lot of spunk to our wedding! I am so thankful to share this exciting time with my big cousin.

Julia Fernandez

Bridesmaid

Julia is the friend who is always there when you need her. She is down for anything. Whether we were spending hours on end at the church or searching 12 different stores in the mall so I could find good jeans, she is always along for the ride. We don't need to talk everyday to pickup right where we left off and I know how she is doing just by a look and she can do the same for me. When I need a shoulder to cry on, a late night trip to Longhorn or just someone to relax and watch a movie with, Julia is my girl. I am so thankful for her caring heart and love for those around her. She is a blessing to so many and especially to me. I am so happy to have her be a part of our day!

Samantha Loori

Bridesmaid

Samantha is best known to text me "Scoop?" anytime I mention a trip to Shoprite or target. She will always tell me like it is and never lets me buy ugly clothes. In just a couple short years Sam has become a friend that I wouldn't want to be without. She is an amazingly strong person who would give anyone the shirt off her back if they needed it. She is another one who is always down to hit up Longhorn (girls night!) and does not shy away from road trips or adventures. It is a true blessing to have a friend who without a doubt, will always be there for you. I am beyond happy to have Sam at my side on our wedding day and I am so thankful for her friendship.

Anna Emmons

Junior Bridesmaid

I prayed for one sister and God gave me two! She goes my many names: Anna, Annie, Bella, Belly, Bells, "whats her name" and so many more! Anna is FULL of sass and fashion sense. She has always been a confident and bold little girl that isn't so little anymore. With every passing day she is maturing and becoming more of a young lady. She loves her pets and her niece and nephews and truly enjoys being around them. With longtime dreams of visiting Paris, she has an adventurous spirit and I have no doubt she will live a big life with lots of excitement. Having my little sister at my side on my wedding day is truly a blessing and I am so happy to have her share in these moments with us.

Olivia Nodine

Junior Bridesmaid

Now Olivia gets the sister she has been asking for! Many times throughout our dating relationship Livy would ask if I was her sister. I told her she could call me that but it wouldn't be official until we are married. Liv was so excited when we got engaged now that we can "officially" be sisters. Having Olivia share in our excitement has truly been the sweetest thing. From dress shopping to giving her opinion on wedding colors (bright red), she has been along for the ride. I am so happy to have her standing with us on our big day.

Mat Yuhas

Best Man

Mat and I have been friends for well over a decade and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. He is an extremely thoughtful and kind person. He always knows what to say when I come to him with something. I strongly value his advice. We are the definitions of opposites attracting. He is quiet and reserved and I’m more on the loud side. I had the honor of being one of Mat's best men and now he is one of mine. P.S. I can't wait for him to have to speak in front of a large crowd HAHA

John Filipek

Best Man

John and I have been friends for well over a decade. He is an extremely loyal friend and always tells me what I need to hear (even though it’s not always what I want to hear). That is the mark of a true friend; someone who is willing to dummy smack you when you need it. I think I laugh harder when I'm with John than anyone. We have a similar sense of humor that compliments each other perfectly (in our humble opinion). Ashley always tells me “you two are dangerous together”. He's always there and even jumped off a 50 foot bridge for me. So, knowing that, it shouldn’t be such as much of a challenge being one of my best men.

Luke Ross

Groomsman

Cuz! Luke and I have always been close growing up. I didn’t have a brother in my house but I always thought of him like one. From playing some pickup football, to being in his wedding, to our latest incident where I turned into Miguel in Virginia. I always have a good time when he's around. Nothing like getting around the table at holidays and eating Gram’s food until we can’t move then going to play sports with the family. He's always been able to beat me in most sports but I still have him beat in Madden!

Ian Kirk

Groomsman

Ian and I have been friends for a longgggg time. He is an extremely kind person. I can never remember a time I’ve ever seen him being mean to anyone. He's always been like a little brother to me. Now he's taller than me and I have to look up to talk to him. Ian flew from NJ to Chicago for our last fantasy football league draft. He's an all around thoughtful and dedicated friend.

Matt Roman

Groomsman

My gaming BFF! I don’t even have to wonder if anyone will be on to play some video games when I want to. He is literally always on. He's like playing co-op with a computer on my team, always available and barely good at the game! Seriously though we’ve been friends for a very long time. We’ve always had pretty similar interests and therefore stayed close for a long time. Good thing for technology, it helped make our friendship last. If there was no technology he'd never leave the house. As it is now we hang out almost every day for at least a little bit ONLINE. (Yes Matt, you have to come physically to the wedding, you can’t skype in.)

Mike Ruggerio

Groomsman

Reg and I have known each other since we were both young kids. It isn’t often people stay friends with the same people they had during childhood. I remember him when we were young and he was always the quiet one. Then, he hit high school and started to become who he is now (not the quiet one). He's seen my life grow to what it is now as well. From running his parents phone bill up playing Call of Duty, to playing paintball one or two times every week, to backyard sports, softball, etc. He's been, and continues to be, a close friend.

Joe Rozansky

Groomsman

Joe and I have known each other since we were both young kids in boys brigade. He has always been a good friend. There is never a dull moment when we are hanging out. It’s either he's had a few beers and doing or saying inappropriate things or he hasn't had any and he's trying to stop me from saying inappropriate things. It’s a very interesting dynamic. We both like to give people hard times and call them out for things they have done or said. In many regards he is my partner in shock value crime.

Mike Schnurr

Groomsman

Schnurr and I have come a long way since he wanted to trade our friendship for a bottle of Jack Daniels. Being asked to be a groomsman may come as a surprise to him since I always tell him how much I hate him. That has always been our long running joke. We both know you have always been an excellent friend. P.S. I still hate you.

Mike Ingui

Groomsman

INGUIIIIIII! What upppp?! We’ve come along way in the five or six years I've known him. He's a coworker, a close friend, a betting partner, a fellow Steelers nation member, and even my boss some of the year! I’m still a little salty we aren’t softball teammates though! He joined a different team. What a loser! Ingui is a great friend, I love talking and debating sports with him. He's currently up in the dollar bets by $2 which I’m unhappy about. We both love to say stuff to stir the pot and make other people feel awkward. He's my work partner in crime.

Brian Gannon

Groomsman

Gannon has been my work bro since I started at Freehold High School. I will proudly brag that I saw what kind of person he was right away and became friends with him. He never speaks negatively about anyone (unless they really deserve it haha). He is an extremely loyal friend. Gannon is the type of person that everyone looks at and knows "he is good people". I count myself lucky to have him as a friend.
