Wedding Party

The Wedding Website of Ashley Frankowski and Carl D

Nicole Pastore-Mullins

Maid of Honor

I am so excited to introduce my incredible Maid of Honor, Nicole from Florida (as most people know you by) to stand by my side on this special day. Nicole and I share over 16 years of unforgettable friendship, and every moment together has been nothing short of amazing. We’ve celebrated countless birthdays side by side—whether it's a low-key dinner or an all-out bash, every celebration with Nicole turns into a cherished memory. Our adventures have taken us from wild nights from AC to EDC, and from trips to Las Vegas and spontaneous stand by trips, to meeting up at Newark Airport, just so we could squeeze in dinner during a layover! Nicole is always up for a quick overnight trip or a last-minute getaway, and those moments have truly added a spark to my life. No matter how far apart we are, our friendship never misses a beat. We always find time to catch up, and I cherish our long phone calls where we vent, laugh or cry. We make it work around our busy schedules, because being together always feels as if no time has passed at all. You are more than my confidante and travel partner—you are family. I love you so much, and I’m so grateful for every adventure, every celebration. A big shoutout to your wonderful kids, Anthony and Gabriella, and your soon-to-be husband, Dan! Thank you for being by my side for this milestone and for all of life’s moments, big and small. I couldn’t imagine this day without you.


Peter Carino

Best Man

Carl is thrilled to have his lifelong friend, Peter, by his side as his best man. These two have been friends for over 15 years, sharing unforgettable memories and laughter. Peter is not just a groomsman; His loyalty, support, and unwavering friendship have been a guiding light in Carl's life. Peter always knows how to lift spirits and bring out the best in those around him. Carl couldn't ask for a better friend to stand by him on this special day. Here’s to friendship, laughter, and the many more years ahead!

Sofia Frankowski

Bridesmaid

I am absolutely delighted to introduce my wonderful niece, Sofia, as my Junior Bridesmaid. At just 11 years old, Sofia is already such a bright light in my life, and I truly love her as if she were my own. Even though she now lives in California and is so far away, our bond will never change—distance could never dim the closeness and love we have. I treasure all the moments we’ve created together, from the little everyday joys to unforgettable adventures. There are so many highlights: the time you convinced me to run a 5K with you, making TikTok videos that always end in laughter, being terrified, for you on your very first upside-down roller coaster, and getting crushed by your mini golf skills! We’ve zipped down the mountain at Camelback, explored Legoland and Disney, hiked the Grand Canyon, and even surprised you while you were on vacation in Mexico. And who could forget our wild Outer Banks trip, when we almost got struck by lightning? Sofia, your life has only just begun, and already we’ve collected so many beautiful memories together. I am so honored and excited to continue this adventure with you, and having you by my side as my Junior Bridesmaid makes this day even more special. You bring joy, laughter, and an incredible spirit to every moment, and I am so proud of the amazing person you are growing up to be. Thank you for being such an important part of my life. I can’t wait to create many more memories with you, no matter how far apart we are!


Maria Zacchino- Pelitto

Matron of Honor

It’s impossible to sum up everything that Maria means to me, but I’ll do my best. Maria and I met in 2011 at work, and from the very beginning, I knew I’d found a lifelong friend. She brings energy, creativity, and unmatched passion to everything she does—whether she’s planning the most unforgettable parties or simply bringing extra sparkle to any occasion. Maria is someone who always goes above and beyond, willing to do whatever it takes to make those around her feel special and appreciated. She cares deeply about the people she loves and never hesitates to lend a helping hand (or run a quick background check!). Her enthusiasm for life is contagious, and she approaches every moment—big or small—with incredible style and heart. I truly miss the days when we worked together, plotting our next big adventure, scheming and collaborating, and—let’s be honest—occasionally indulging in a bit of detective work. Maria has always been my go-to person, my #1 contact, and the sister I chose for life. She’ll always have my back, and I am endlessly grateful for her support. Whether we’re heading out for spontaneous day trips, relaxing at the spa, or a freestyle concert, every moment with Maria is a celebration. Thank you, Maria, for your love, loyalty, and for always overdelivering at any cost. I couldn’t imagine this day without you by my side. Thank you for everything you do and for being the most incredible matron of honor and friend anyone could ask for!

Meryl Debrosse

Matron of Honor

Meryl, my wonderful bridesmaid, and I may have only known each other since early 2023, but our bond has blossomed into a deep and lasting friendship that goes beyond the workplace. From the moment we met, our dynamic Aries energy ignited an instant connection, creating a friendship that feels like a lifetime. I cherish our shared love for travel, and I adored every adventure we took around the world together—each trip filled with unforgettable memories, especially our relaxing spa trips! I am incredibly grateful for your unwavering support, always being there when I need you. Your thoughtful feedback and valuable insights mean the world to me. I feel so lucky that you agreed to stand by my side on this important day, and I trust that you and Maria will partner to help me make this truly special. Thank you for being such an incredible friend!


Jianna Hall

Bridesmaid

To my dear friend Jianna, the true OG of F45 since day one (2019)! You are undoubtedly one of the most interesting and entertaining people I know, and I’m so grateful that our paths crossed. Known to some as G or Jersey—although that doesn’t quite make sense to me since you're from Staten Island!—you always embrace life with open arms. Thank you for doing crazy things with me that are totally out of your wheelhouse, like going to clubs and exploring random shady places. Your willingness to step outside your comfort zone has made our experiences often unforgettable. Thank you for always supporting me and listening to my crazy stories. Here’s to our friendship, countless laughs, many more wild adventures together and always being a bad lady!

Masha Nemirovsky

Bridesmaid

Since 2004, Masha has been a constant source of joy and adventure in my life. We crossed paths during our first year of college, and from that instant connection, a beautiful friendship blossomed. Together, we've navigated through wild experiences—from wild weekends down the shore to unforgettable Memorial Day celebrations. From navigating through the antics of crazy guys to our unforgettable trips down the shore, we’ve celebrated Memorial Day weekends that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Who could forget those unforgettable nights waking up on Jenna’s boat, or our outrageous clubbing days? Our nights out on the dance floor at places like Jimmys in Morristown, Palm Bar, 118 Lounge, Sandbar, Belmar, and Atlantic City were nothing short of legendary. We were young, wild, and free, going out so many nights a week and sharing laughter until the early hours. Time may pass, but every moment we share feels like no time has elapsed at all. The connection we have is timeless, and I cherish the fact that no matter how long it’s been since we last connected, it always feels like we’ve just picked up right where we left off. We have come a long way since our college days; now we savor fine wine and enjoy classy dinners, reminiscing about our past adventures while creating new memories. Masha, I am so grateful for all the incredible moments we've shared, and I am beyond excited to have you by my side on this special day as I celebrate my love.
