Groom
Anthony is a true Terrace Heights boy - having grown up there, graduating from East Valley High School, and chose to buy his first house just down the road from where he grew up. Aside from his hometown love, Anthony and Hilary both attended the U of W (though we didn't know it at the time) and love cheering on the Huskies, though not nearly as much as he loves the Seahawks. When he's not busy working on his degree in IT Business, he's the commissioner of his fantasy football league (and season champ two years running!) and enjoys spending time with his friends over a cold stout. His friends would say he's one of the nicest, easy-going guys they know, and Hilary would say he's one of the sweetest. He's the calm to her storm and brings balance to her life.
Bride
Originally from Yakima, Hilary graduated from Davis HS before embarking out into the world to attend the UW. After college, Hilary lived in Japan, and developed a passion for travel, which she's now sharing with Anthony. She is intelligent and driven, currently completing her Master's degree in Healthcare Management. She has a desire to help others, devoting countless hours to Junior League or helping fundraise to save local horses in need. She is also a terrific dog mom to Moose, showering him with love and affection daily. She is proudly independent, so Anthony feels lucky he was the one she chose. While Hilary is very outgoing and Anthony is quite laid back, they each compliment the other's shortcomings, and together, could accomplish anything.
Best Man
Jarrod is one of Anthony's best and oldest friends, first meeting when they were in elementary school. They spent a lot of time together playing video games and getting into shenanigans. Wherever life took them they always managed to keep in touch and take their gaming online. Jarrod's also become like part of the family, joining the whole Pieti clan on their annual trip to Seaside.
Maid of Honor
Hilary's sister and other half of the "Divas" haha. Recently relocated to Austin but she's not letting that slow down her duties as Maid of Honor, planning tons of fun stuff and being a great support. She's not only been a great sister to Hilary, but now to Anthony, welcoming him into the family warmly.
Groomsman
Anthony's younger brother and now temporary roommate. Even though they didn't get to spend much time together growing up, they still get along wonderfully and now bond over craft beers and brotherly antics.
Bridesmaid
Miranda is one of Hilary's oldest friends, being practically inseparable through middle and high school and even shared a tiny dorm room their first year of college at the University of Washington! She's not only been a great friend but almost like an adopted sister, braving the way on numerous family trips with the Panians and finding herself as peace-maker more often than she probably wanted :)
Groomsman
Nate and Anthony first met in middle school where they became fast friends. Nate, like Jarrod, is like part of the family, going on the annual Pieti Seaside trip for the last 15 years. Anthony was lucky enough to be a part of Nate's wedding party and now Nate gets to return the favor, helping Anthony join the ranks of old married men.
Bridesmaid
Hilary had the honor of serving as Cleme's Maid of Honor a few years ago and is so happy to have Cleme stand beside her on the big day. Cleme and Hilary became close during high school when they both joined the Davis Dance Team and their friendship only got stronger when they found themselves both living in Yakima again in 2011. When they're together, there's no missing them - loud, laughing, and generally having a great time.
Groomsman
Another one of Anthony's long time friends, Jeren and Anthony have known one another since elementary school. They became better friends in high school and walked together at graduation. Even though there were long stretches where they didn't get to hang out with one another, they still remained great friends throughout the years.
Bridesmaid
Kara and Hilary met while they were both teaching English in Japan. Kara has been the consummate travel buddy, sharing trips near and far, no matter where in the world she's living. Kara's dry humor and no frills style made her an instant friend and a dream teammate should they ever find themselves on the Amazing Race.
Groomsman
Rand is Jarrod's brother and a long time friend of Anthony. They became friends when Anthony would come over for gaming sessions with Jarrod. After awhile the two would bond over football and fantasy football, even though he is an Arizona Cardinals fan (Go Hawks!).
Bridesmaid
Stefany and Hilary met at the University of Washington and became fast friends. Their shared love of adventure and having a good time brought them close. Stefany is the friend you call when you want to book a last minute trip or take a spontaneous drive to a wildlife safari park. She's loyal, selfless, fun, and has such a good heart.
