Ashley & Anthony
Wedding Party
Daniel Dinstein
Officiant
Upon meeting Dan, he introduced himself as Rabbi Dan, and the title has since remained. Dan consistently demonstrated his closeness to me, particularly in our shared enthusiasm for cars, as evidenced by the numerous hours spent at his residence, specifically the Sofoluses', engaging in conversations about vehicles. Following his ordination as a minister, I instinctively knew he would officiate my wedding, as it seemed only fitting to have the esteemed Rabbi Dan preside over the ceremony.

Anthony Maresca
Groom
From a young age school wasn't the easiest for me. There were always two things that made it better for me. One was bowling at a young age my dad always brought me bowling. To this day it some of my favorite memories. In high school i was nominated JR bowler of the year and got my first 300 at the age of 14. Now after high school my main obsession is cars. As long as I can remember cars where and still are my obsession I even became a certified technician at palisades Mazda. Even though my parents hate my hobby especially when i come home and wake up half the neighborhood at 2am it doesn't matter after a long day turning that ignition is sometimes the best feeling in the world. “if one day the speed kills me don’t cry because I was smiling" one of my favorite quotes from Paul walker
