Mike & Angela
Wedding Party
Cristina Miano
Maid of Honor
When I was five years old all I wanted was a little sister so much so that I would draw a family portrait at school with her in it before she even existed. When I found out that Cristina was coming I was so excited. She instantly became my baby doll, I mean like literally, I would drag her all around the floor of our playroom (sorry Cristina). Although we do partake in our occasional bickering from time to time I feel so fortunate to have her in my life and couldn't imagine anyone else as my Maid of Honor!
Matt Lupinacci
Groomsman
Lupey has been my friend since around kindergarten or first grade, mainly because my mom used to babysit him and probably didn't have a choice but to tolerate me. From that though has grown a solid friendship that has spanned decades. I am honored to have him by my side on my wedding day.
Kellie Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Kellie is Mike's sister and my new sister. I love her crazy sense of humor and energy and am so happy that we are becoming family!
Scott Dwelle
Groomsman
There are way too many adjectives to describe Scott, but one seems to always find its way back........ disappointment. All jokes aside, that is not a word I would associate Scott with. He is one of my best friends since about junior year in High School. We have both experienced a lot with one another (too many 2am Riverdale diner stories post SoNo nights in our early 20's). I couldn't imagine having anyone else by my side on Angela and my wedding day to really bring it up a notch with his dance moves.
Kathryn Fitelson
Bridesmaid
Kathryn is my longest friend! I know we met when I was 12 years old but Kathryn likes to say I was 13. We will continue to agree to disagree lol. Kathryn has supported me through so many events in my life and I am forever grateful for that. We have been talking about this moment for a very long time and I could not imagine this day with out Kathryn standing at the alter with me!
Eric Castelot
Groomsman
Castelot has been a close friend of mine since about sophomore year in high school, chemistry class was always entertaining. Since those days we have made many memories from playing paintball at the field we made at my house, continuously arguing who the better golfer is.....me, the Castelot family handshake (we're basically family long, but not really long story), and going back and fourth talking in an Irish accent when we've had a bit too many. Couldn't magine not having him in my wedding party.
Angelina Demarco
Bridesmaid
Angelina and I completed the most difficult challenge of our lives together.. Nursing School! There is something about wiping butts together that really unites people lol. I love her so much and am so happy that she is apart of my special day!
Michael Silva
Groomsman
Mike and I met through Angela since they attended nursing school together. Since our first double date at colony, Mike and I have become close. It also helps that Angelina and him live right down the street from us. Also helps when we're in nursing and have a messed up sense of humor. I'm happy that through these past couple of years we've became close and honored to have him in our wedding party.
Chelsea Geffert
Bridesmaid
The first time that Chelsea and I met it was love at first sight! The love of tequila, latin music, and dancing really brought us together but the amazing friend that Chelsea has been to me has kept us close. I am so honored to have her in my bridal party.
Kelly Geffert
Groomsman
Just as it was in high school soccer, Geffert will probably be lined up behind Cleveland. Even though in this line up, there is no rhyme or reason to who is in front of who. I've known Kelley since elementary school, and hesitant to say been friends with him for quite some time lol. To this day he is still the best twelfth man Shelton High School Boys soccer has ever had. I am happy to call him one of my best friends and honored to have him be by my side on my wedding day.
Sarah Sforza
Bridesmaid
Sarah, better known as RaRa, and I met in the Burn Unit at Bridgeport Hospital. She was my preceptor and definitely made me into a great burn and ICU nurse. I will never forget our nights working together with our "night 4 parties". I am so excited to start this new adventure with her by my side!
Matt Cleveland
Groomsman
I have been friends with Matt since our Great White Polar Bear days in rec league soccer (probably one of the best teams you never heard of). From elementary school to present day, Matt has been a constant in my life. Him, like all of my friends, accepted Angela right away into our tight knit group when we started dating. Angela and I are happy and honored that you are by our side on our wedding day.
Alyssa Laudato
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and I met working together in PACU at Bridgeport Hospital. I later found out that when we first met Alyssa thought I didn't like her, she soon came to find that I just have a constant RBF and that I truly loved her! Throughout the duration of our friendship Alyssa has spent countless number of times on phone calls with me talking me off of ledges and for that I am extremely grateful. I am so happy to have her as part of my bridal party.
Anthony Mirafiore
Groomsman
Anthony (Aj) one half of my winter friends (we really only hang out in the winter) and one of my more brutally honest friends. We met more than likely playing pick up soccer roughly a decade ago. Since then, many nutmegs have been exchanged, along with kicks to the ankles. From our trip to Switzerland, having the best jambon et fromage while we were there, the annual Smugglers Notch trips, and Tuesday night football we have grown close, outside of just winter time. I'm glad to have Aj in Angela's and my wedding party. P.S. - I actually don't like him. His wife Lauren paid me.
Ryan Burns
Officiant
The second baldest and the other half of my winter friends. Ryan and I met through Aj and realized we both had a mutual hatred for his luscious head of hair. Since that moment, a bunch of snowboarding trips, and recently a very well constructed friendship contract with a lot of what have you's, we have grew close. Close enough for me to bring up the idea to Angela that he should be our officiant at our wedding. I couldn't think of anyone else I would want to marry Angela and I. I need at least one more bald person standing with me up there.
