Wedding Party
Janice Comer
Bridesmaid
Janice and Bianca have been friends since they were 12 years old when they met at Sacred Heart. For the next 7 years Comer and Chiappelloni were paired together as locker buddies, starting each day getting ready for the school day together.
Cassidy Fuller
Bridesmaid
Cassidy and Bianca met on the day before move-in day at Washington and Lee University, where they lived across the hall from each other in a 4-story walk up in Graham-Lees. The two lived together again Sophomore and Junior years, and a quick walk down the street from each other Senior year.
Megan Kimbell
Bridesmaid
Megan and Bianca met on move-in day at Washington and Lee University, where they lived across the hall from each other. The two became fast friends, always running back and forth across the hall from each other to talk and compare outfits for the next night out.
Rebecca Green
Bridesmaid
Becca and Bianca became friends through their sisterhood in the Chi Omega fraternity. While Becca was good with numbers and Bianca was good with words, both supported each other through the job recruitment and law school application processes and into life in the “real world.”
Amelia Danovitch
Bridesmaid
Amelia and Bianca met during the first week of law school when they were slotted into “Section C” at Boston University School of Law. A mutual reference to NYC as “the city” (there is no other) led to a discovery of endless similarities and shared interests.
Sophia Fallon & Brianna Timlin
Bridesmaid
Sophia and Brianna are Bianca’s nieces and her best supporters. The two now compete with the groom for Bianca’s favorite travel partners, following their girls’ trip with Bianca to Paris and London this past summer.
Emma and Alice Crabill
Flower Girl
Emma and Alice are Bianca’s twin nieces, who will be 3 and a half years old at the wedding. We can’t wait to see them as flower girls!
João Fontinha
Groomsman
A friendship forged in the fires of 7th grade (around age 12, for those keeping score!), Fontinha and Pedro have been on countless adventures together. From the grueling challenge of a 43km ultramarathon on a sandy beach to conquering the Langstrasse in Zurich, João has always been by Pedro's side. In fact, it was he who nudged Pedro to join a running club, a decision that continues to have a major impact on Pedro's life today.
Tiago Machado
Groomsman
Their friendship stretches all the way back to 1st grade! Tiago and Pedro met at the age of 6 and have been practically inseparable ever since. Sharing similar interests, they found themselves classmates for most of their school years, building a bond that only grew stronger. Summers were filled with adventures in the Algarve, exploring the vibrant streets of Zurich, and making memories during fun nights out in Bairro Alto. The kind of friend who's always there when you need him, Tiago was even by Pedro's side the day he met Bianca – talk about destiny!
Guilherme Souto
Groomsman
A bond begun in elementary school, Guilherme and Pedro have been friends since their early days, and their journey together continued at Técnico, where they both graduated as Civil/Structural Engineers. Known for his unwavering loyalty and a listening ear, Guilherme is the kind of friend you can always count on for sage advice, delivered with a calming dose of understanding. They’ve been on multiple adventures together, from soaking the Algarve sun and nightlife to exploring Croatia, and the hidden gems of Bosnia and Herzegovina, they've created memories that will last a lifetime. Those trips would not have been the same without Guilherme's company (and, perhaps more importantly, his superhuman ability to down drinks at lightning speed!).
Nelson Costa
Groomsman
Pedro and Nelson's friendship goes way back - they've known each other since they were just 3 years old! They practically grew up together, attending the same schools and even graduating from the same university. Their summers were filled with adventures together, whether it was soaking up the sun in the Algarve, rocking out at the Paredes de Coura festival, or exploring Europe on unforgettable road trips (two separate years, no less!). Now, Nelson is living in Montreal, Canada, where he's putting the finishing touches on his PhD in Computer Science (so that explains who the resident genius is!).
Hugo Alambre
Groomsman
Talk about a man of diverse talents! Hugo and Pedro struck up a friendship at Técnico, united by their shared interests in seemingly opposite worlds: photography, agriculture, business, and engineering. Their adventurous spirit even led them to attempt (and let's be honest, hilariously fail) spear fishing together. These days, Hugo's putting his skills to the test in a whole new environment – he's living and working in Ghana, building a roadway deep in the African jungle!
Sebastião Cunha
Groomsman
Batão is a true adventurer at heart! When he's not pushing his limits on his enduro motorcycle, he can be found on the tennis court (though his most frequent souvenir is a case of golfer's elbow!). Their friendship ignited at Técnico, where studying engineering weren't the only things that bonded them. Summers were dedicated to unforgettable road trips, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Gerês and the charming town of Alpedrinha. These adventures solidified their friendship, built on a shared love for exploration and a dash of friendly competition.
João Serra
Groomsman
Pedro and Serra's friendship bonded in the fires of engineering! They met at Técnico, where countless hours were spent side-by-side tackling finite element models, the intricacies of concrete reinforcement and steel design, and (let's be honest) late-night study sessions fueled by coffee and camaraderie. Serra's positivity is infectious - he's practically always got a smile on his face, especially when enjoying a refreshing imperial (Portuguese draft beer, for the uninitiated!).
Salvador and Francisco Santos
Ring Bearer
Salvador and Francisco are Pedro’s twin cousins, who will be 7 years old at the wedding. We know our rings are safe with them!
