Wedding Party
Liz Blesi
Maid of Honor
Em's twin sister, her confidant, and her voice of reason. Em and Liz have an extremely special bond and have been best friends throughout their lives. After living together after college for four years, they still call each other at least once a day despite only living 10 minutes from each other. Liz has the biggest heart and is incredibly generous. There truly is nothing this girl can't do!
Joseph Sciarappa
Best Man
Joseph is Julius's younger brother and they have grown up side-by-side. They even shared a bedroom for 14 years. Joseph's competitive spirit helps push both him and Julius to be better at everything they do...from sports to work, their personal lives, and even board games. He is fearless, and someone who is always up for a challenge.
Abby Garling
Bridesmaid
Em's younger cousin literally lights up every room she walks into. Abby is more like a younger sister to Em, and they have always been close. Abby is thoughtful and nurturing, and knows how to get a good laugh out of you if you need one. She will be graduating from Ohio University with a degree in nursing in May of 2024, so when you see her at our wedding please congratulate her!
Logan Sisley
Groomsman
Logan and Julius met in high school. Logan is incredibly creative and inspires those around him. Logan's artistic nature fuels his passion for music, which is infectious. Logan and Julius have spent many nights together enjoying live bands, bumping tunes in the gazebo, jamming in their basement, and attending backyard shows in Athens. Logan is fiercely loyal, honest, and an all around great friend.
Corri Bush
Bridesmaid
Corri is also one of Em's younger cousins. She is an absolute ray of sunshine, her giggle is contagious, and she is all-around the sweetest thing! Corri will also be attending Ohio University this Fall and will be majoring in Psychology! P.S....keep your eye out for her on the dance floor, this girl can break it down!
Eddie Brown
Groomsman
Eddie is Julius's cousin. He is always game for anything...whether it's spending a night out, providing a ride home, or showing up early to help with any event. You can always count on him! Eddie is extremely hard workering, and at 12 years old he managed the vending machines at his family's hotel and made sure to remind all of his cousins that there are no free snacks! Eddie is someone who is always willing to sacrifice his time to help others.
Maggie Harter
Bridesmaid
Maggie is the SoCal girl of the group! Maggie and Em met after college and have been great friends ever since. She's extremely loyal, loving, and down for any adventure. Maggie and Em stay in touch on FaceTime, and spend several hours talking at least every other week. Maggie is the friend you want to have in your circle, and she will cheer you on everyday.
Johnathon Sciarappa
Groomsman
Jonathon is also Julius's cousin, and is practically an encyclopedia of knowledge. He knows every minute detail regarding a wide variety of topics...whether it's about ancient societies, war tactics, or how to survive on the side of a mountain. Jonathan is strong-willed, and is always willing to lend a hand. Especially when you need it most.
Nicole Ettore
Bridesmaid
We call her Ettore. Nicole and Em met each other during their sophomore year of college when Em moved into her dorm. They have been together through may ups and downs, and have always leaned on each other for support or a good laugh. Nicole's humor is unmatched and she is an all-around amazing person.
Patrick Shea
Groomsman
Pat and Julius met in high school. They share a love of sports (even if its rewatching old games), pop culture, and making trouble. Pat is an all-around great person and someone you look forward to being with. He can galvanize the room and is never shy. Even to strangers he meets on the street.
Sharon Breckenridger
Bridesmaid
Sharon and Em also met in college. Sharon is the most genuine person on earth, and when you meet her you will instantly want to be her friend. Sharon and Em shared many laughs while living together above Broney's bar in Athens, Ohio. Sharon has a sense of calmness that we all need, and she is incredibly understanding and loyal.
Harry Brown
Groomsman
Harry is yet another one of Julius's cousins. Harry can find the joy in just about anything, and can always turn a dull moment into something fun. Harry is an engineer, and he loves to put things together. From homemade firework shows to bonfires and tree forts, he's always had a knack for building.
Carly Veech
Bridesmaid
Carly and Em met at OU as sisters in Pi Beta Phi. Carly always has the best advice, and will tell you what you need to hear when you need to hear it. She is a Texas girl (hook 'em horns), and is the new momma of the group. Her beautiful little girl is named Mia!
Thomas Brown
Groomsman
Thomas is the fourth of Julius's groomsman cousins, and has always been the man with a plan. He will always get you whatever you need, even when you don't know that you need it. A night out with him typically includes a detailed itinerary. When you need it, Thomas just knows.
