Wedding Party

Avery Eddins

Maid of Honor

We met in the spring semester of our freshman year in college; we were introduced by a mutual friend. Ever since then we have been attached at the hip! We have gone through so much in the past 4 years together and I wouldn't want anyone else by my side to go through it all. Being roommates our junior year of college created an even stronger bond between us and I am so thankful for that. We love taking spontaneous trip to the beach, hiking, and random wine nights! Avery has always been there for me regardless of the time of day and I am so thrilled that she is my MOH! - Rachel

Grace Lazarte

Bridesmaid

Our friendship began in 7th grade when we had multiple classes together. We would always write colorful notes to each other with our inside jokes and memories. We both had a passion for taking care of kids and a goal to do just that. Going to different colleges made long distance friendship difficult, but she always knew when to reach out! She has truly been like a sister to me and wouldn't want to do life without her! We have been through many memories and laughs and I am blessed that she is joining my side on this special day! - Rachel

Rachel Moore

Bridesmaid

Rachel and I met sophomore year of college when we sat next to each other in microbiology lab. It feels like we have been friends for life. We enjoy making people get us confused by our names and enjoying the life of nurses. Our relationship is something special because we share the same career and love for life! I always knew that I had someone to either call or text if I needed to talk about something and vise versa. I never knew that a friendship could be so easy and perfect, until I met Rachel! Plus, having the same name is pretty awesome if you ask me! Wouldn't want anyone else by my side on the big day! - Rachel

Katy Morgan

Bridesmaid

We met on the first day of kindergarten because we had matching backpacks, lunch boxes, and birthdays that were one day apart. It was just meant to be! Our friendship has flourished over the past 17 years with all of our sleep overs, beach trips, songs, and memories! I truly do not remember a day when we weren't together. It was always so fun seeing her at track and cross country meets and to cheer each other on. Even though we went to different high schools and colleges, we are still just as close. Blessed that Katy is still one of my best friends after all of this time! - Rachel

Gabby Gangemi

Bridesmaid

Gabby and I met when she joined my sorority her freshman year of college. We instantly created a bond together because we both were in the pre-nursing program at the time. We would always study together and I would help any way I could to get her into the program. We both work together at a pediatric doctors office and both share a love for caring for children. Gabby is generous, loving, and a loyal friend, and I could not imagine not having her in my life. - Rachel

Miranda Mangahas

Bridesmaid

Our friendship began when we were in high school on the track and cross country team. The two of us would always run together side by side, and made people believe that we were related! We also trained for a half marathon together even though we were confused as to why we decided to do it! When we were both in college, we were states away from each other, but that didn't stop us. We would always make sure to meet up when she came back in town and have always picked up where we left off! Blessed that she has been such a good friend for so long! - Rachel

Alex Gomez

We met our freshman year of college, living on the same floor. We both joined the same fraternity together which made us become great friends. We share similar like in activities like video games, social outings, and friends. He has been one of my closest friends for the past 4 years, making him the perfect best man! - Nicholas

Steven and I are brothers, only 2 years apart. Although we have different personalities and interests, we are always going to be brothers. Growing up without him would have been much different, and I'm glad he is my brother. He is an important person in Rachel and I's life, making him a great groomsman on our big day! - Nicholas

Garrett Hill

Groomsman

Garrett and I met when joining the fraternity we are currently part of. Even though Garrett is a few years older than me, he never fails to put a smile on everyone's faces. He is a life of the party and a very trustworthy person. His joy, humor, and kindness will be spread throughout the big day. I am thankful that he is still standing by my side over the past 4 years. - Nicholas

He is funny, charismatic, and a fun time to hang out with! Having him part of my party is important to me and I'm so excited to have him there! - Nicholas

Connor Downey

Connor and I met when I added him into my fraternity family as my little brother. We lived across from each other for two years during college in Kings Park. We spent countless hours playing video games, hanging out, and going on adventures with the fraternity. He may be a few inches taller than me, but he will always be my little brother. - Nicholas

Lorenzo Testagrossa

Groomsman

When I first met Lorenzo, he could barely speak english because he lives in Italy. He decided to come to school in the US for greater opportunities. Every conversation was fun and challenging. Lorenzo is a smart, fun, loving guy who is always down for adventures. Lorenzo brings a great sense of humor and fun to any party, especially the Italian way! - Nicholas
