Patricia & Robert
Wedding Party
Francesca Bucci
Maid of Honor
Francesca is the hilariously lovable little sister to Patricia. Standing by her side is a dream and cannot wait to give THE speech celebrating these two lovebirds. Single too, so meet Francesca on the dance floor.
Nic George
Best Man
Hailing from Northern Michigan, Nic and Robbie have been best friends for nearly a decade, meeting as Evans Scholars at the University of Michigan. Bonding over brews, a love of sports and classic rock, and a penchant for staying up way too late on school nights playing euchre, their friendship remained constant. Nic can't wait to celebrate Robbie and Patricia's love and show all these doctors how to party attorney-style!
Cara Meysen
Matron of Honor
I met Patricia in 2012 at summer camp and we quickly became friends. We bonded while being campers and then while working as counselors together, and we’ve been able to maintain that friendship despite the distance for all these years since! Trish is one of my oldest friends and while I am gutted I won’t be able to make it to the wedding, I am so excited for this next chapter of life she is embarking on with Robbie and wish them nothing but happiness.
Benn Baker

Benn and Robbie met in grade school and have been friends ever since. They share a deep love for sports and were competitors that pushed each other to be the best. Benn is super happy for Patricia and Robbie and know they complement each other well.
Sam Barry
Bridesmaid
Sam is a middle school science teacher from Chicago who met the bride at ISU. Sam has had many titles in Patricia's life including sorority big, costumer, and personal photographer (see her work on the homepage), but she is excited to take on this new title of bridesmaid to celebrate her "peanut" and the love she has found with Robbie.
Alex Finsterwald
Groomsman
Robbie’s my big brother in the Evans and was always someone I looked up to. We’ve spent many nights in the house playing euchre, shooting pool, and just hanging out. It’s been a privilege to know him for all these years, and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this next chapter with him and Trish. Wishing them a lifetime of laughter, love, and plenty more great nights surrounded by friends.
Katie Rauch
Bridesmaid
Katie and Patricia have been friends since middle school, when they first met playing flute together in band. What started there grew through years of volleyball seasons to college roommate life. They’ve made a lifetime of memories and have truly grown alongside each other through every stage of life. Katie is beyond excited to celebrate Patricia and Robbie and can’t wait to dance the night away with them.
Austin Sciopione
Groomsman
Working in software consulting, which sounds boring, but make up for it by running, sucking at golf, playing poker, and being a self-appointed expert in old gangster cinema. I've known Robbie since freshman year at Michigan and have the stories to prove it.
Kelly O'Reilly
Bridesmaid
Kelly and Patricia met and became friends in the 7th grade. Throughout the years they’ve made many core memories together from middle school bus rides, lake days in high school, being her college sorority dance date, to many vacations together. The adventures and memories continue as Kelly is thrilled to celebrate and support Patricia and Robbie on their wedding day!
Andrew Zahra

Andrew is from Metro Detroit area and works in the global logistics industry. He first met Robbie during his freshman year at the University of Michigan, roommates in the Evans Scholar chapter house and quickly became friends. Andrew is grateful for all of the fun memories shared with Robbie and considers him a friend for life. He is excited to stand by Robbie & Patricia as they begin the next chapter of their life together.
Meghan Ferrotti
Bridesmaid
Meghan is a special ed teacher from the NW suburbs of Chicago. She met Trish at ISU and were roommates one year. They instantly bonded over their shared love of cooking, travel, and pop culture.
JD Visnaw
Groomsman
I met Robbie in college at the Evans Scholarship House as freshman and he was a senior, and our friendship took off from there. We shared late nights playing Guitar Hero, walks to Back Room Pizza, and early-morning tailgates complete with mimosas and a few games of euchre. I’m a software engineer who loves Dungeons & Dragons, crafting a fancy cocktail, and ultimate frisbee, and I’m honored to stand by his side at the wedding.
Sydney DeBlander
Bridesmaid
Hey, I’m Sydney! I’m the sister of the groom and excited to finally have a sister of my own! When I’m not busy studying/worrying about medical school, I love spending time outside, being as active as possible, trying new recipes, and tracking all things college basketball. Thank God, these two aren’t getting married in March.
Alex Lokken
Groomsman
Alex was Robbie's roommate at Chicago medical school and met Patricia as well, all graduated in 2024. Growing up in the Arizona southwest, he matched for residency in Utah, where he returned to pursue a career in Pathology.

Audrey is the bride's cousin, and they've shared countless memories over the years. She's a sophomore in college, loves spending time with family, and is looking forward to celebrating such a joyful day with them.
Mario Bucci

Mario is the oldest of the Bucci children. Somewhat of a craftsman and loves an excuse to dress well. Hardworking and always helping those when he can. Honored to be a groomsman for a standup man like Robbie!
