Angelina & Nicholas
Wedding Party
Eileen
Maid of Honor
"Lucky are those that have a friendship that starts in childhood and follows them throughout their life" -Unknown Whether we were bored on a summer day watching Disney on demand, dealing with some issue that came from our "hike" in the woods, playing toothpaste in the pool, rolling down a grass getting infested with ticks, coming up with a dance routine that was performed at halftime during Turkey Bowl (and a normal neighborhood hangout night) that everyone dreaded watching, soaring down the skating rink, or spending a week in OBX every moment was a moment to remember. To the person that has been by my side throughout life, I couldn't be happier to have you with me on this special day. Thank you Mom & Dad, Mary & Tom for choosing the sac as our place to call home.
Steven
Best Man
Besides my soon to be bride no other person knows me better than this guy right here. We grew up around one another- the cool older cousin with the annoying younger one. Then life split us apart although the brotherhood never left us. Then one day at a family gathering we saw each-other again and the rest is history. From navigating across the bridge to hangout or flying out the country for an epic guys trip, we made sure to always be by one another’s side. From bar hopping across the city streets to painting baby Ryan’s nursery and helping me move into my place. What seems like a lifetime of adventure doesn’t end there. Steven chose me to be the godfather to his first born son- not knowing what I had in store for him in just a couple of hours. After the baby shower I walked up to Steven with a box and said congratulations, as he opened it he knew what I was talking about as the writing on the inside said “Will you be my Best Man?” and without hesitation and with a few tears he said yes. Now he will be standing by my side on my wedding day and life will never split us apart again.
Stephanie
Bridesmaid
“Stephanie does not like anyone. You might as well stay upstairs and not come down,”said Nicholas to Angelina. Our first interaction was rather unexpected and assumed to be unwelcoming. Although we had thought it would be rocky given Nick’s comment, from the beginning of our relationship, you welcomed me with open arms and a big heart. She has been a role model and mentor throughout life. A relationship has brought us together and has left us with a lifelong friendship. To my future sister in law, I cannot wait to celebrate the big day and the joining of our families. Thank you for taking me in as your own and for loving me unconditionally. I can’t wait to continue this journey with you!! I will always love you unconditionally and will see you at the alter!
Gregory
Groomsman
“I am grateful to have a brother-in-law who is not just a family member but also a friend.” -Unknown My soon to be brother in law but my brother for many years now. Not many men are as fortunate as I am to walk into a family and be taken in whole heartedly by the brother of the girl you are dating. Many don’t know but Gregory was probably one of the biggest supporters of mine and Angelina’s relationship and even more so our engagement. We have built a relationship beyond the share of our love for Angelina though. Lots of beers and lots of laughs have been had between us. Lots of talks by the pool and lots of victories in corn-hole and quite recently a lot of money lost at the casino at least on my end. And probably a few too many shots as well. Whenever there is a competition in the cul-de-sac I make sure my brother is on my team. Now I want him on my team more than ever. No one better to suit up next to me than this man.
Sydney
Bridesmaid
Friends don’t let friends wear bad outfits or surround themselves by bad apples. When in doubt, I know you’d call the police! I went from 0 to 2 sisters and am beyond grateful for it. You’ve welcomed me into the family with open arms and have loved me unconditionally and for that I’m grateful. It’s always a good time whenever we are together. I look forward to all the ventures to come and have cherished the ones we have made so far. Even though we would panic wondering where Syd went and turns out she had to put herself to sleep maybe because of the Black Label, Don Julio, or the treats. I will always have your back as you have had mine. We started this journey as a sister of a brother of the girl she’s dating and have turned an acquaintance into a relationship by becoming a sister and a friend. Thank you for taking me in as your own. Once a baddie always a baddie. To my future sister in law, I cannot wait to celebrate the big day and the joining of our families. I will always love you unconditionally. See you at the alter!
Andy
Groomsman
"Friendship is being there when someone's feeling low and not being afraid to kick them." -RANDY K. MILHOLLAND My brother from another mother. Literally my God brother. For the people who knew us when we were younger know that when Nick and Andy got together it was a problem. I can say that the first time I got the cops called on me, Andy was with me and there might have been a broken window involved. COMPLETE MISUNDERSTANDING. Or the time when a chandelier shattered and we debated whose fault it was, the guy throwing the ball or the guy that was supposed to catch it. Apparently it didn’t matter whose fault it was as our parents gave us both dish duty for two weeks. Time goes on and those little boys became men, or at least we call ourselves men. From falling asleep at a Buffalo Wild Wings to throwing up at Yardhouse, Andy and I continue to have a lot of reckless encounters. Nonetheless Andy is one of those guys I can always count on to pick up the phone whenever I need something or just someone to talk to. Those two and a half hour drives from Pennsylvania suck but time and time again he’s done it to spend time with me and my fiancé. To travel with us or to just spend the weekend. He is a true friend and my loyal brother.
Erin
Bridesmaid
Ever become best friends with the person you could have almost given anaphylaxis? If it weren't for me eating a Reese's peanut butter cup in an enclosed office with her, we would have never become the friends we are today and if it weren't for you working at the Prisberry Commons at Polo Ralph Lauren, this wedding may never would have happened and we wouldn't be where we are today. We began our journey as two kids in a dance studio and have since then grown together throughout life. To the biggest supporter, listener, and overall beautiful person, I can't wait to have you walk down the alter with me. No matter what, "River's & Road's. River's 'til I reach you" ♡
Kumar
Groomsman
“Who needs enemies, when you have friends like me”-Unknown Lord where do I begin. Naresh or as I call him “Kumar” is without a doubt one of my most loyal friends. We met through Steven right before quarantine and have been friends ever since. Although he’s more so my pain in the ass big brother nonetheless we always check up on each-other to see how we’re doing. A joke that some might have heard between me and him is “don’t worry I’ll take out a second mortgage for you” and I’m sorry to say the details to that joke stay between us. Living in Buffalo away from his friends isn’t always easy but he makes sure to take the time to come down and see us whenever he can and for that I’m always grateful. Sometimes we have a little too much fun when he’s here and try to push that plane ticket a day or two back. I’ve driven in a blizzard in the middle of winter to drive up and see him and I’ll do it over and over again because he would do it for me. My brother for life.
