My darling Groom. I cant wait to share a life with you. You’re the calm in my chaos, the light in my darkness. Truly the love of my life. In this life and the next i cant wait to marry you. Love your bride to be.
Mabel Aguilera
Maid of Honor
My Beloved sister has been my best friend for our whole lives. From the keeper of my secrets during our younger years, to the amazing aunt and mother she has become. Having her as my maid of honor was the easiest choice because I need her by my side on the most important day of my life.
Aiden Newberry
Best Man
Aiden Newberry son of the Bride. The light of the life for Aura as he is her first born. Aura and Paul couldn’t be more proud of the man Aiden is becoming and as he should know they will always be there for him in whatever he needs. Early on in Aura and Paul’s relationship Aiden gave his mom the approval of Paul to show he had the trust in Paul to one keep himself and his sister Aurora safe, but also to keep his mother safe and love her unconditionally. Both Aiden and Paul have their bond for music, gaming, and going to sporting events. Oh and of course their Love for Wings! Aiden and Paul couldn’t be happier to have each other in their lives for many reasons, but to see them be genuinely happy in each other’s presence makes everything feel whole.
James Kane
Groomsman
James “Jimmy” best Friend of the Groom of 25+ years. From the Start of Kindergarten in Visitation to Summer School in 5th Grade, to Summer Camp at the College of Mount Saint Vincent(CMSV), all through adulthood Jimmy and Paul are like Ying n Yang and never too far apart from each other. These two are the ideal definition of two peas in a pod. But whenever one needs a pep talk, advice, or even just a slice from Louie & Ernie’s Pizza in the Bronx they are always there for one another. Jimmy is another participant in Paul’s Madden Football tournament, but he mainly plays for fun not for the glory of victory! Haha
Kendra Lawson
Bridesmaid
Kendra, we might be separated by miles or different life stages, but our hearts remain closer than ever. You are a presence that feels like home even in the wildest of storms. And i appreciate you being apart of my next chapter in life!
Alexi Nolan
Bridesmaid
Lexi!!! We met at your wedding and now here we are at mine! Thank you isn’t enough for the friendship we’ve built over the years. Your kindness and generosity have touched my heart, and I will cherish our memories forever. Thank you for traveling this journey with me and for being a true friend when I needed one most.
Johnathan Nolan
Groomsman
Johnathan best friend of the Groom of 15+ years. Things didn’t always start off so smooth for Johnathan and Paul. Though Johnathan being a bit of a wild card in his youth, Paul still went into big brother mode to always go out of his way to help and protect Johnathan. There bond also started early in their Middle School/High School Days to which led to watching UFC fights on Saturday Nights in Johnathan’s apartment as well as partaking in a few pick up football games in Van Cortlandt Park, or even going to Yankee Games. Johnathan is also a participant in Paul’s madden tournaments and has achieved success over Paul a few times with winning 2 championships(which one of them came at the defeat of Paul). He is in fact another person Paul has called his brother and knows if one of them call the other for help they are always there for each other.
Jared Frederick
Groomsman
Jared best friend of the Groom 10+ years. Jared and Paul’s journey began at Legoland Discovery Center. Although as Paul started off quiet and shy as we all know Jared quickly broke Paul out of his shell back in 2014. Though being co-workers and hanging out at company events Jared and Paul’s friendship began to grow as the years went on. From them showing off their Fantasy Football Teams, to casually hang outs, or even taking an eventful trip down to New Orleans these two will always claim they are brothers from another mother! Jared as well you guessed it is another participant in Paul’s Madden Tournament. He has had some success but is still waiting to bring home his first Championship!
Monae Wright
Bridesmaid
Monae, you have been my rock and my confidante when I needed it most. Your presence and understanding helped me navigate through the challenges I have faced, and I will forever be grateful for your unwavering loyalty. Thank you for being apart of my next chapter in life!
Daeshawn Carr
Groomsman
Daeshawn best friend of the Groom of 20+ years. Despite being an AVID Cowboys fan and Paul being an AVID Giants Fan somehow they formed a great bond from all the way back to their Middle School days and pick up Football Games. This dynamic duo has shared alot of moments together especially when the Super Bowl comes around and Daeshawn gets to take home most of the leftovers or there constant battles on a video game console playing Madden during Paul’s Madden Tournaments which Daeshawn won 6 Championships to Paul’s 1. To say Paul might be a bit salty about this would be an understatement!
