Maid of Honor
Who would have known that one of my brother's best friends in Middle School would lead to one of my very Best Friends. Anything she decides to do she does 110% and she *will* be better at it than you. She's a phenomenal swimmer, singer, and photographer (thanks for all of our Engagement pics!) Hannah and I are two pea's in a pod, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Best Man
Tyler is Jon's brother and resident smart ass. Tyler attends Duquesne University and rooms with Jake (yep the Bride's brother Jake). In his free time Tyler enjoys lifting, sports and commenting on his mother's facebook photo's of the dogs. Tyler is a great brother who I've come to appreciate more and more the older I've gotten, and now that he can drink I'm sure things will only get even better. Brotherly love for sure
Bridesmaid
Kira and I have played Softball, Skied, and played Field Hockey together for years. Our friendship can be dated as far back as some embarrassing pre-teen Karate pictures, and include all of our fun Middle and High School phases. While we've traveled north to ski together, i've watched her travel the world and recently tackle the PA State Police Academy. I'm so happy she'll graduate in time to join us on our wedding day.
Groomsman
Ron Dornin has been called many things. Mr. President (if you run in Grove City College fraternity circles); a master schemer (if you have ever tried to split a pizza with him) and even Ronnie (mostly by his mom and sisters), but Jon is lucky enough to call this guy one of his best friends. Jon met Ron his freshman year of high school when Ron moved from Dakota (who knows which one) and instantly endeared himself to those around him...jk he tried way to hard at first and we didn't really like him. But once we got to know the real Ron we realized he was a great guy that would do anything for those he cares about. Years later and we are still here, busting each others balls and making memories.
Bridesmaid
My absolute longest friend and partner in crime. Best Friends since BIRTH (literally, guys) and I could not imagine my wedding day without you. While I know we have thousands of pictures together, dozens that are nicer than the one above, it makes me smile. As a kid and as an adult, we love to eat, drink, and smile together. We can be side by side or miles apart, we always come back together like we've never stepped apart.
Groomsman
As Nikki's brother, Jake's been around for a while; and been awake for roughly 1/3 of that time. Jake is the little brother I never had, which is to say he's much easier to pick on than Tyler ever was. The first guy I'd go to if I needed a hand (literally and figuratively) but the last guy I'd go to if I needed that afore mentioned hand to clean a room. In all seriousness, Jake is a great guy with a super bright future ahead of him. And before you ask....yes he is very tall, no he doesn't play basketball and the weather is exactly the same "up there" as it is everywhere else.
Bridesmaid
Years of travel softball (and eventually Field Hockey) build memories and bonds that can never be broken. You helped me celebrate my earliest victories (home runs fueled by mom's bribe for our first real perfume!) and were by my side as we struggled to become better athletes. You were our original #5 in the Berardinelli family, the little blonde sister I never had, and there will always be a place for your booty on our couch.
Groomsman
Rounding out this motley crew we have Zach. Zach and Jon go way back to Middle School football were their shared love of the sport and hatred of running brought them together. Zach's most notable accomplishments include naming the dominant offensive line of the 2011 Norwin Knights "The Fist" as well as being solely responsible for a rule in the Norwin Rights and Responsibilities Handbook (and dealing a heavy blow to small market capitalism in the process). Through all life's ups and downs Zach has been there for Jon, and it's a pretty safe bet he always will be.
