Renee & Anthony
Wedding Party
Micki "Ging" Cerchiaro
Maid of Honor
The modern-day Ebony and Ivory. Reneé and Micki started off as AAU rivals to becoming teammates/sisters and creating a legacy at Edinboro. If it was not for Micki, Reneé would not have survived Edinboro (in general) her 21st birthday, passed her Geography Class (because Reneé is directionally challenged), and planned this wedding. Reneé looks up to Ginger and loves her because of her kindness, easy-going personality, and the fact that she always looks at the bigger picture in all situations. Renee is beyond grateful to have Micki in her life because if it wasn't for her - then Renee's favorite little niece would not have been born. Renee's favorite memory of Micki would have to be the Wii Just Dance + Michael Jackson competitions in Shetland - and how their team dominated everyone else.
Raven Brown
Sister of the Bride (Bridesmaid)
Raven is the younger sister of Reneé and the more out-going of the two. Raven claims that she is the prettiest sibling - but we all know that's not true. Growing up, the two used to dress alike (against their will - thanks mom), fight with each other (like any normal siblings), fight anyone else that tried to come between them, and MYSPACED a lot (literally the two could of went viral - before viral was a thing). Raven has influenced Reneé to be more confident in her abilities and taught her not to care what everyone thinks. More importantly, she helped Reneé to become more fashion-forward (Thank GOD). Reneé loves the fact that her sister is I N D E P E N D E N T (Boosie V.) and living her best life! Reneé loves every single memory with Raven and looks forward to making many more.
Kerry "Keracon" Connolly
Bridesmaid
Partners in Crime! Kerry and Reneé first met at Edinboro as teammates in 2009 - and it was because of her that Reneé and Anthony met. Kerry is the most down to earth person you will ever meet and will get along with anyone and everyone. The thing that Reneé loves most about Kerry is the fact that she is adventurous and will randomly show up to have game nights/documentary and movie nights at the Antonelli house. Renee's favorite memory of Kerry is when she picked up Bugsy and started to do her favorite dance, the JiggaBump while asking for pickle juice.
Ammy "Chau Time" Chau
Bridesmaid
The Asian Persuasion. To be completely honest, Reneé does not remember how they met or how they became so close - but she is grateful that it happened. Chau lived in the Women's Basketball house at Edinboro and from there, their friendship grew. Chau is the life of the party and the glue to many of the friendship groups - she is somewhat like a big deal in Pittsburgh, everyone knows and loves her. The thing Reneé loves most about Chau is the fact that she does not care about other people's opinions and she lives her life carefree without any regrets. Renee's favorite memory is when she was able to help Chau create her signature drink at the Hotel Bar and named it "Chau Time"
Cassie Johnson
Bridesmaid
The Italian Stallion! Outside of the Edinboro Women's Basketball team, Cassie and Renee were roommates their freshmen year in 2008 and the two have been inseparable ever since. From the moment they met, Reneé knew they were going to be close especially since they both LOVED THE SIMS (and still play to this very day)! Cassie is the type of friend that will put her friends first in front of her own needs. Renee's favorite memory of Cassie was the time she decided to wear heels on the South Side - and after one tumble, Cassie decided that heels were not her calling at all. Reneé will never let Cassie live that moment down.
Raegan "Reg" Moore
Bridesmaid
Reg and Reneé met as co-workers with Allegheny County Hometown Hoops Program. The two clicked instantly and had a lot in common - both played collegiate basketball (Duquesne and Edinboro) and had a passion for mentoring and giving back to the community - especially those in the underserved settings. Although Reg had moved away to pursue her education and coaching career, each time they reconnected, it was like they had never left. Renee's favorite memory was when she traveled to Boston to visit Reg and had the opportunity to explore the city, eat good food, and ride the trains. Renee's least favorite memory was the fact that they had to WALK EVERYWHERE in Boston.
Laurel Lindsay
Bridesmaid
The Real Life-Size Barbie. Reneé and Laurel met at Edinboro as teammates in 2009. Reneé loves the fact that Laurel is 100% authentic, geniuine, and the peacemaker of the group. Renee's favorite memory of Laurel was the time they played catchphrase. The word on the screen was "Pancake." A friend gave the clue and said, "Laurel's Butt is as flat as a ....." Reneé screamed PANCAKE!
Samantha "Blaze" Blazetic
Bridesmaid
Reneé and Big Baby Blaze met at Edinboro as teammates in 2009. The two ended up rooming together at Ponzel Apartments and their friendship blossomed because Blaze faithfully made Reneé the BEST FRENCH TOAST one could ever hoped for. Renee's favorite memory is when Blaze would take her hand and PALM peoples faces like a basketball - and there was nothing that anyone could do about it. Seriously, imagine a 6'3 woman palming your face - its hilarious and scary at the same time.
Shaina "Shay Woo" Woods
Bridesmaid
Shaina and Reneé have been friends since the 3rd Grade at Greater Works Academy. They were "Tomboys" at it's finest - they played basketball, flag football with the guys, and they even tried soccer for a few weeks (FYI: they quickly ended that because the rain & bugs didn't mesh well with them). The thing Reneé loves most about Shaina is that she has always been independent and never relied on anyone or anything to get what she wants. Reneé's favorite memory of Shaina was during one of their middle school basketball games - Shaina stole the ball from the other team and scored on the wrong hoop.
Tati Harriston
Bridesmaid
Reneé and Tati met through their significant others. The two grew closer after the years of double dating and couples "retreats". Renee loves the fact that Tati is the world's most amazing mother and her dedication to making the world a better place for her family. Reneé also loves the fact that she is the "self-proclaimed" aunt of Tati's baby girl, "White Gyal" aka Anita Bonita. Renee's favorite memory of Tati was when she was giving birth to Anita, and somehow/someway Reneé was in the room screaming "PUSH TATI... YOU GOT THIS"
Aster Te'Clay
Bridesmaid
Reneé and Aster met at a mutual friends cookout (Chau) a few years back. The two started a deeper friendship after Aster and Nick (Tony's brother) started to date. Reneé loves the fact that Aster is motivated, hardworking, insightful, and resilient in all aspects of life (especially her goals - no matter how big or how small). Renee's favorite memory of Aster was when she pushed Nick to get out of his comfort zone and into the field of his dreams.
Nick Antonelli
Best Man
Tony's brother. They have grown very close as they've grown older, even though Nick made several attempts at Tony's life in their younger years. They are polar opposites and that's why it's so perfect. It's an absolute treat for Tony to have Nick standing next to him as his best man on the biggest day of his life.
Cardell "Rocco" Brown Jr.
Groomsman
Renee's brother, Rocco and Tony have grown to be very good friends through out the years. Whether it be at Salsa night in DC, or a chill night at Dave and Busters, it's nothing but good times.
Jame "Goat" Gocek
Groomsman
Tony and Goat have been good friends for decades. They have became brothers throughout years. If he ain't forcing Tony to do something, Tony is forcing him to do something. But that is what makes their friendship work.
Justin "Jewstin" Dietrick
Groomsman
Jewstin and Tony met first year of college up Edinboro. Tony thought he was one of the staff members helping freshman move in, must have been the hair (or lack there of). Their friendship has grown ever since.
Robert "Bobby" Davis
Groomsman
Tony and Bob were roommates freshman year of college. The first weekend, they all attended a party in which Tony lost his car keys and room keys. But Bob saved the day and somehow found them amongst the several hundred drunks. Tony had no choice, they became great friends.
Ernest "B.A." James
Groomsman
Ern and Tony also met freshman year of college. Ern was from "Strong" Island and thought he could throw his heavyweight self around. Tony wasn't having it. From there, the friendship grew.
Tyrone "Tike" Cole
Groomsman
Tony and Tike had some rocky years early on in their friendship. From wanting to fight Tony at club zoo, to celebrating countless birthdays together down Carson Street. They have became nothing short of brothers.
Joe "Tut" Tutino
Groomsman
Tony and Joe have known one another their whole lives. Over recent years, they have grown extremely close. From golf outing after golf outing after outing, to trips to another state for Ribs, it's always good vibes.
John "Harv" Harvey
Groomsman
Tony and Harv first became friends Tony's freshman year of high school. They were in arguably the most dynamic gym class in modern history, and have grown very close over the years. Can't wait for camp.
Michael "Leezy" Lee
Groomsman
Tony and Mike actually met a young age, through competition, which was quite one sided. "Leez" eventually realized he couldn't beat us, so he joined us. An absolute wing night staple. A true honorary member of the Rocks.
John "Moose" Hack
Groomsman
Tony and Moose have been friends their whole lives. If it wasn't for Tony giving Moose's older brother a concussion in the batting cages, they would have had several years of little league baseball championships to boast about.
