The Smiths // Est. 2019
I Do Crew
Jessica Casalegno
Matron of Honor
Sister of the Bride who wears white every day of the year...except August 18th, 2019. The water sign to Ally’s fire sign since 1993 & Ally’s favorite person to quote Mary-Kate & Ashley movies with. First friend & forever friend. Miami girl who is most likely to keep the party going post-reception.
Kaylyn VanMeter
Bridesmaid
Stepsister of the Bride. Mom to Instagram famous @brinkleygolden_official. Wealth management by day, party animal by night. Ally & Kaylyn have been causing a ruckus together since 2004 & have no plans to stop anytime soon. Most likely to bring her dog to the wedding.
Katie Voelpel
Bridesmaid
Wild card with the biggest heart who always shows up for her friends. Ride or die friend who’s playlists consist of everything from Beyoncé to Dixie Chicks (#GirlPower). Most likely to randomly disappear during the reception, but don't worry--Katie is just napping in her car or found a sweet dog to pet (she loves dogs).
Jenny Shortelle
Bridesmaid
Thanks to Skype wine-dates in college & cheap flights, Jenny & Ally have been in a happy & healthy long distance relationship since graduating high school in 2009. They share a love for cannolis, Grey’s Anatomy (McDreamy, we still love you and always will), and prosecco (preferably enjoyed on a rooftop in 75 degree whether while listening to “Mr. Brightside”...but we aren’t picky...). Most likely to be the one who finds Katie when she goes missing at the reception.
Alana Ben-Zeev
Bridesmaid
Ally's Aries soul sister and left brain. The Malika to Ally’s Khloe (LOL). Die hard One Tree Hill fan for LIFE. World traveler. A morning toaster. If you don’t know what that is, look it up and thank us later. Most likely to hold your hair after the reception is over, because she’s just the sweetest.
Brynn Polonitza
Bridesmaid
Only person to take Halloween as seriously as Ally. Loves David Bowie and Stevie Nicks. Can quote 85% of Sex and the City lines and cite the season & episode. Sal's "favorite child". One of the greatest people you'll ever meet. Most likely to become BFFs with you in the bathroom.
Joey Fluriach
Bridesman
“Bridesman—best guy friend of the Bride. It’s not weird though”. Semi-beer snob. Rock climber. Loves The Florida Gators and The Great British Baking Show. Probably still upset over the ending of GOT. Most likely to slide down the staircase or climb a ledge at the reception.
Todd Smith
Officiant
Father of the Groom. Die hard LA Rams & NJ Devils fan. Arguably the World’s most interesting man. Semi finalist to be cast on Survivor. Known to Ally as “Toddsie”.
Stefan Smith
Best Man
The man, the myth, the legend. No one knows what he’s putting in his wheaties. He might be younger, but Connor certainly looks up to his adventurous, strong, and compassionate brother. Stefan is full of wit and Connor’s first draft pick to go shoulder-to-shoulder with on the ice (or in life in general). So, on the most proud day of Connor’s life, at his wedding, it only made sense for Stefan to be his best man.
Eric Typaldos
Groomsman
Best friends with Connor since kindergarten playground days. Watched the Devils win more playoff games worth Connor in 10 years than the Rangers won in 90. Has a handful of stories about his and Connor’s adventures around the world, not to mention New Jersey along. Serial entrepreneur. Plans to start a business with Connor one day...hopes Connor.
Ryan Smith
Groomsman
Matt’s older brother and the closest thing Connor had to a older brother growing up. Introduced Connor to songs that inspired his career in music. Has been featured as background vocalist on mixtapes recorded in Connor’s mom’s basement, such as ‘Tighty Whitey’. Pizzeria owner in The Iron City#BennysPizza
Matt Smith
Groomsman
Connor’s younger cousin. Knows a little/a lot about everything. Growing up, Matt was Connor’s “attorney on the block”. He is currently a sommelier in Manhattan, or—as he humbly downplays this addition to his portfolio—a “smelly guy”.
Jacob Goclano
Groomsman
Connor’s older cousin/ Aunt Karen’s son/ Brianne’s younger brother. Total ladies man. Always was and still is the cool kid in the room. Abnormally and fearlessly athletic. A true free spirit who marches to the beat of his own drum. Talented graphic designer who can be found snowboarding in Colorado (a few hours wait from Stefan) at least 100 days of the year.
Dana Johnson
Groomsman
Co-founded Studio 18 in Connor’s mom’s basement 13 years ago. Tag teamed it’s expansion to Florida. Has more face time with Connor than maybe anyone else. They’ve got more inside jokes than primo’s got promises. Boys for life.
Terrance Bland
Groomsman
Is his name Blain? Blan? “Bland!...like no taste!”, he’ll tell you. The irony? He’s the farthest thing from tasteless. Everyone’s buddy/guidance counselor. Pumps out more hip hop beats on his MPC than the Rams do touchdowns. 15 year Navy Vet. As per bio request, a “tall glass of chocolate milk.”
