Wedding Party
Nicole Obetts
Maid of Honor
Friend of the bride Best friends with the bride since middle school circa 2008. They bonded over a love of reading, wandering aimlessly around the mall, and doing dance moves that made the other laugh.
Zach Hyzer
Best Man
Friend of the groom Zach and Anthony’s friendship began in 6th grade when they convinced Anthony’s dad that they needed to rent a videogame to complete a school project. From there, much of Anthony’s youth was spent hanging out in Zach’s basement (I am sorry Mr. and Mrs. Hyzer). Even when living across time zones later in life, Zach has always been a true support. Many years and videogames later, they remain the best of friends and Anthony is lucky to have him as his best man.
Sara Williams
Bridesmaid
Sister of the bride The two met when the bride was born. Having Sara as an older sister helped the bride develop her love of shopping, cookie dough ice cream, and of course the Spice Girls!
Chris Toth
Groomsman
Friend of the groom Throughout their college years at Grand Valley, Anthony and Chris (Mr. Toth to his kindergarten class) were roommates for 7 years, longer than some presidential administrations. You can always depend on Chris for his half of the utility bill, but most importantly, for helpful advice when you need it most.
Janine Jones
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom Met the groom when he was born, and met the bride shortly after the couple began dating. The bride is excited to have such a funny and loving bonus sister!
Thomas Mardeusz
Groomsman
Friend of the groom Growing up, Thomas’ imposing physical stature masked a lovable goofball. Thomas would often drive his friends in his distinct, teal-colored Pontiac sedan, acting as chauffeur, lead vocalist, and dance choreographer. Whether you’re cruising around town or preparing for the biggest day of your life, Thomas is the friend that can always put a smile on your face.
Katie Farrugia
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom Also met the groom when he was born. The only thing better than one bonus sister is two bonus sisters! Especially one so fashionable and with such a peaceful demeanor.
Nieko Ianni
Groomsman
Friend of the groom Long mistaken as brothers in elementary school, Nieko and Anthony share a friendship that is as close as siblings. As a high school English teacher, Nieko is always willing to provide personalized book recommendations. Just be sure to use proper grammar when you ask…
Dom Lesniak
Groomsman
Cousin and friend of the groom The mind of a physicist and the mustache of a Harley enthusiast. Dom and Anthony are cousins, and some of their earliest memories are playing together after Thanksgiving dinners. Dom was at Anthony’s side for many “firsts”: first job (Dearborn Italian Bakery), first concert (Ozzfest 2005), and now his first (and only) wedding.
