Wedding Party

Bobbi-Jean Bryden

Bride

Eddie Bednarczyk

Groom

Lonne Kleiman

Officiant

Samantha Hamilton

Matron of Honor

Samantha is Bobbi-Jean’s sister and best friend. She has been through all of Bobbi-Jean’s life’s worst and best moments and there is no one else in the world that makes more sense to stand right next to her throughout the entire wedding process. Sam has kept her younger sister safe and has been her life long protector. They may not have had the traditional sibling upbringing, but that has never hindered their relationship despite different households, long distance, and separate families. Samantha and Bobbi-Jean remained close through their own choices and efforts, which just shows the true definition of their relationship, as sisters, and as best friends.

Dave Greco

Best Man

This is THE best man of all best mans. Dave is the kind of guy you want in your corner when shit hits the fan. Dave and Eddie met on a nice sunny day in Oswego NY while playing some ultimate frisbee. Dave's face inadvertently met with Eddie's shoulder while running, and the rest is history. They instantly became friends and were roommates at college not long after. Between non-stop Call of Duty marathons to helping each other out in some serious times, they will always be best buddies.

Audrianna Ericson

Maid of Honor

Audrianna (AME) is Bobbi-Jean’s cousin (by marriage, but not really)! They always called each other cousins growing up because it was easier to explain. By choice, they became best friends. Audrianna and Bobbi-Jean were inseparable every summer, with camping on the weekends, summer jobs at the ice cream shop, and living at the Morris Fairgrounds every year for the best 6 days of summer. They’ve traveled the east coast together for several occasions and have a undeniable love for the alternative band, The Fray. They’ve both been by each other’s sides during tragedy and in happiness. And despite the distance that separates them they are still inseparable by heart.

Mike Greco

Groomsman

Mike is the twin brother of the best man Dave. Just like Dave, Mike and Eddie met while playing ultimate frisbee. Eddie moved into Mike's house in Rochester after college, where they were truly able to bond. Mike and his now wonderful wife, Katrijn, had quite a time living together in downtown Rochester. From honeymoon cruises to making corny videos on the way home from frisbee, Mike and Eddie hanging out unsupervised is usually a bad idea.

Erika Webster

Bridesmaid

Erika is Bobbi-Jean’s older sister. Another non-traditional sibling relationship, it was Erika who reached out to Bobbi-Jean during the early years of MySpace. Although they didn’t grow up together or get to know each other until they were older, they have grown in friendship ever since. Erika was the first sibling to make Bobbi-Jean an aunt, which has been one of the most exciting and best parts of her life. Erika lives in North Carolina with her family, and the distance has never diminished the relationship they have built together over the years.

Justin Caparelli

Groomsman

Justin is one of Eddie's first and original friends from middle school. They would show up a few hours early for baseball, host wiffle ball tournaments, and play on softball teams that wouldn't win a single game all year. If one of them ever messed up while playing sports, the other would be sure to let them know. Justin and his family have, and always will be, a staple in Eddie's life.

Brandee Rockefeller

Bridesmaid

Bobbi-Jean met Brandee in 2nd grade on her first day at Morris. They were friends instantly. Through middle school and high school, Brandee is the life best friend of the bride. They did everything together all through out their years at Morris. Even through going to different colleges, taking different carrier paths, and living in different parts of New York, their relationship has never altered.

Tommy Godsey

Groomsman

Tommy, AKA Mickey, met Eddie through Mike while they were at RIT. Mickey has always been the coolest kid in the room. Him and Eddie have have had some 'crazy' adventures through the years, whether it be getting kicked out of their hotel room for play fighting to betting it all on roulette and winning. If Mickey is there, you know it's a party.

Sarah Alwardt

Bridesmaid

Sarah and Bobbi-Jean are squad goals! They met while playing basketball at Brockport and even after graduation and distance, their friendship remained. Sarah met Eddie shortly after Bobbi-Jean started dating him and she quickly became “the third wheel” in the relationship. Being one of Bobbi-Jean’s closest friends to live in Rochester, the three of them did a lot together and has been there through each stage in their relationship. Sarah is the life of the party and always brings love and laughter to any group. Eddie nor Bobbi-Jean couldn’t imagine their wedding without her.

Chris Mateo

Groomsman

Chris and Eddie met through a mutual friend of Justin's. It didn't take long for Chris and Eddie to be friends with their interest in baseball. They now play together in softball tournaments in upstate NY pretty often and then party at night after they lose. He is pretty good at baseball, but is more well known for his corny jokes and surprisingly good dancing.

Jen Nichols

Bridesmaid

When Bobbi-Jean worked for the tax department, she met Jen in the bathroom at the office! Their friendship quickly blossomed and Jen has been Bobbi-Jean’s shoulder to cry on and person to laugh with for many years. They quickly learned how much they had in common, including their love for country music and wine and their hatred for ketchup and onions. Bobbi-Jean was Jen and her husbands “third wheel” for many events from beer festivals to music concerts prior to dating Eddie and is “Aunt B” to their fur baby Jackson and their daughter Nora. Jen has been a huge help with all different kinds of advice from dates, cooking meals, outfits, and of course wedding planning! B&E enjoy spending time with Jen and her family as she is one of Bobbi-Jean’s closest friends in the Rochester area.

Jordan Lapid

Groomsman

Eddie and Jordan met randomly at a park one day in Yonkers. While Jordan was jogging the track he noticed Eddie and his little brother Vinny tossing a frisbee. Jordan went over and asked if he could join, the rest is history. Not long after that day Eddie and Jordan worked at the same hotel in Yonkers. From breaking down together in Eddie's old shitty Camaro all the time to Jordan taking Eddie on a two week tour of the Philippines, these two have quite the special bond. Also, when you see a large circle of people cheering someone on on the dance floor, they are most certainly watching Jordan put on a show.

Sarah Kastner

Bridesmaid

Sarah and Bobbi-Jean met at softball when she would go watch Eddie play on the Tuesday Night Men’s League. Sarah’s husband Matt, also played with Eddie. Part of the “softball wives”, almost every Tuesday they enjoyed each other’s company as spectators of the game. Sarah and Matt and B&E have gone on a lot of adventures and double dates together over the years. It’s always a blast when we do things together.

Matt Kastner

Groomsman

Matt and Eddie met while playing softball in Rochester. While Eddie and Bobbi Jean were in the beginning stages of dating, Matt decided to ask Eddie, in front of the entire softball team what him and Bobbi Jean were in terms of dating. Eddie did not answer this question right and almost never got to see Bobbi Jean again because she stormed off. Although Matt tried to set Eddie up for failure, he did not succeed, and now they're very good friends. From softball, to video games, to country music festivals, Eddie and Matt have a friendship for life.

De’andra Bednarczyk

Bridesmaid

De’andra is Eddie’s little sister and Bobbi-Jean’s future SIL! De lives in The Bronx as a vet tech and B&E always look forward to seeing her for any occasion. It means a lot to them both to have her be apart of the wedding planning and for the big day.

Vinny Galeano

Groomsman

Eddie’s little brother and best friend! Although he is quiet to the public eye, he has no problem talking some good smack to Eddie. Eddie once told his little brother that he would never surpass him in anything, whether its sports, video games, or even fighting. This has become false. They have grown together through the years and have always had an unconditional love for each other which will never go away. P.S. Hide your mailboxes, because he will run them over.
