Antonia & Andrew
Wedding Party
BJ Meltzer
Best Man
BJ and Andrew have been friends since kindergarten—first with sleepovers and snacks as kids, concerts and drugs as teens, and dog ownership and craft beers as adults. Over those many years, it’s become clear that BJ is a dependable and supportive friend, first to Andrew and now to Antonia, as well. We are lucky to have BJ serve in the honored role of best man.
Emma Tabenkin
Maid of Honor
It goes without saying that the Maid of Honor is the one in charge, and no one can take charge to get it all done quite like Emma. She has the bride’s best interest at heart, but will first and foremost keep it real (see: a comment during dress shopping where she rejected something for its “Amazon one-day delivery” quality). There isn't anyone else Antonia would want standing by her side at the wedding and beyond. Emma and Antonia have already become family, accepting of everything sisters bring to the table: laughs, honesty (*sometimes too much honesty), and pure love.
Emily Stewart
Maid of Honor
Emily and Antonia were meant to be friends right off the bat: high school cheerleading and celebrating their birthdays one day apart brought them together, and Emily’s sweet demeanor and commitment to their friendship sealed the deal. Whether it’s a two hour drive or two hour FaceTime call, Emily is there for it all. Antonia can guarantee her guests will never meet a kinder or sweeter person than Emily. Share a drink or treat with her at the wedding - helping Antonia all night is no easy task!
Daniel Morettoni
Officiant
Dan is a fixture of Antonia and Andrew’s life in Albany. Whether it be a night out at the dingiest bar or while playing host to his own chic dinner party, Dan is quick to dispense pearls of sagely wisdom. We can think of no better person to officiate our wedding.
Anthony Graziano
Honorary Guest
Antonia’s papa is a 101 year old WWII veteran and a legend in both the boxing and restaurant worlds. Tony jumped as a paratrooper during D-Day and Battle of the Bulge during the war. He also managed and trained two Golden Glove World Champs. While also owning his own Italian restaurant for over 70 years. If you see Tony throughout the night please thank him for his service and give him a firm handshake.
In Loving Memory

Ann Minutoli (Nana) Mark Tabenkin (Dad) Matthew Seton (Best Friend)
