Elizabeth Woods

Bridesmaid

Thomas Pender

Best Man

Brother to Groom Putting a blurb on how much this individual means to the groom would not do justice. Dominique has looked up to his brother since 1983 and continues to live, move and breath to honor him. To say that Tommy is his rock does not begin to touch the tip of the iceberg.

Shareef Saleem

Groomsman

Shareef and Dominique met in 2nd grade in 1989 at Riley School. Shareef and Dominique remain the closest Friends for close to 30 years and counting.


Patrick Draper

Groomsman

Patrick and Dominique knew of each other throughout their middle school years but did not develop an incredible bond until September of 1996. Not only did the two of them share 87.5% of the same classes that freshman year of high school, Patrick and Dominique continue to care for each other more than their own self. Unlike that one class in 1996-1997, the science works.

John Espin

Groomsman

John and Dominique have known each other since John’s family moved from Greenpoint, Brooklyn to South Plainfield in 6th grade (in 1993). As different as each of their respective paths led them, their brotherhood and Friendship is 2nd to none.


Carlo Estonactoc

Carlo and Dominique have partnered in many adventures since day 1, 20+ years ago. Growing up just down the street from each other, these two remain the closest of Friends (and brothers) to this day.

Since first meeting in 2002, Rodney and Dominique have gone through many of life’s trials and triumphs together. In fact, not only was Dominique there when Rodney met his bride; Rodney was there when Dominique met his bride.

Sean Parker
