Briana & Brandt
Wedding Party
Victoria Guaragna
Maid of Honor
A best friend and twin sister! Briana was lucky enough to be born with a built-in best friend. From playing sports together, having the same friends, and sharing a room up until they finished college (lol) we have done everything together. Now living 165 miles apart, they still facetime at least 2-3 times a day just to stay sane. Womb mates for life!
Joe Rotolone
Best Man
Friends since middle school. It was after college, when they moved into Baltimore together, that they realized they had a brother in one another. Joe was there during the inception of B & B and got to watch it develop into what it is now. Joe is there to make sure the highs are celebrated, and the lows are mitigated. Mr. Reliable and the standard for loyalty. Joe will always offer a helping hand, whether it is with roommate chores or finishing that bottle of whiskey.
Melanie Betz
Bridesmaid
Bri is the younger sister Mel always wanted. Bri looks up to Mel as a role model in the medical field and as a mother. Bri loves the memories they've created at the Lake of the Ozarks and Boys Town in Chicago, and cannot wait to create many more! As long as these two are sipping on something and dancing they'll be having a blast. Did she mention that Brandt was going to be named Briana if he was a girl?
Dr. Matthew Betz
Groomsman
The day Melanie brought Matt home Brandt's wolf pack grew by one. A great brother and a great husband. A great Ocean City lifeguard and a great doctor. Their brotherhood has evolved beautifully like Matt's hairstyling (Who remembers the Bieber cut?). Brandt was very excited to ask Matt to be a part of the big day, but a little less excited to lose to him in golf again at the bachelor party.
Rachael Griffith
Bridesmaid
Rachael and Briana have been best friends since their days in Archbishop Spalding HS where they met during freshmen year soccer tryouts. They instantly became BFFs when bonding over their love for their Freshman year homeroom teacher hehe. Rachael is one of Bri's best hype masters and gossiper. Even after living in different states since college, these two are still best friends for life.
Michael Lapaglia
Groomsman
Competitors & friends since elementary school. Mike and Brandt have always been a part of each other's lives in some way. A wingman and a confidant. It was only natural that when Mike moved into that Baltimore house that they would become best friends as well. Even when they moved in with their girlfriends they only separated as far as neighboring apartments. Surprising considering Mike is a Steelers fan.
Christiane Lengenfelder
Bridesmaid
Christiane and Briana have been friends for almost as long as her name is! 20+ long years. From St. Pius with Jonas brother obsessions to sneaking into bars at Towson University, their friendship has been one for the books. With our shared love for all things food-related and going through whatever the next big workout craze is, this is a friendship that will last a lifetime.
Nick Pappas
Groomsman
From making up sports to making up songs, Brandt and Nick have been best friends since their first hangout. The Pappas family allowing Brandt to stay in 3 day stints in high school is a testament to how amazing of a family they are. You are likely to hear these two still quoting the same movies they watched back then. Brandt is happy Nick started his golf addiction cause it gives them yet another excuse to hang out.
Anna Lapaglia
Bridesmaid
Another soccer girl bestie from Archbishop Spalding HS! Annie and Bri have been friends since freshmen year of high school. She was team Jacob and Bri was team Edward, but they somehow made it work. Now they have 13 years of memories together! So when Annie started dating one of Brandt's best friends you can imagine how excited they were! Now they get to stand by each other's side on their special day.
Brandon Piccirilli
Groomsman
From a middle school basketball team to roommates in college. Brandon has only ever been a phone call away for a beer and lift. Definition of a stand up guy. Only have gotten closer over the years, especially after Brandt successfully performed his first heimlich maneuver (2020 has been crazy).
Liz MacNaught
Bridesmaid
There are no better friends than nurse best friends! Liz and Briana became acquaintances through their mutual friend Nani, but became best friends through nursing school. Starting together as new grad nurses only made them closer! Liz has become one of Bri's favorite confidants. After three years of working together, they have made endless memories both in and out of scrubs.
Robert Maloof
Groomsman
A friend since Davidsonville elementary school days, and the final roommate to best friend in this magical Baltimore house. These two can talk. Only makes sense that they can talk about anything from design work to obscure historical events at the drop of a hat. Although it turns more into the show "Drunk History" after a few Guinness. Brandt can always count on Rob for a lowkey kickback to some Greta Van Fleet.
Jessica Dean
Bridesmaid
Although Jessica is one of Briana's cousins, she is easily more than that, she's a bestie! From having family room sleepovers to going out in NYC, these two have shared so many memories together. Along with her sister Melissa, she has been almost like a big sister to Briana and Victoria.
Michael Jones
Groomsman
Brandt was told when you date a twin you also date the sister, so Brandt has been dating Bri, Tor, and Mike for four years now. They grew up down the {Riva} road from each other, but did not meet until they were dating the twins. Brandt counts his blessings that they met and they get along so well since this foursome will all soon be married after a couple of weddings.
Melissa Minuto
Bridesmaid
Melissa is also one of Briana's bestie cousins. The two of them have created so many fun memories together each and every year. Even though they have lived in different states, they were lucky enough to be able to stay so close. Being 8 years younger than Melissa, Bri was always able to look up to her whether it was the latest fashion trend or how to flirt with boys ;)
