Wolfgang
Father of the Bride
The best Daddy in the world and now the keeper of the stars! Born in Germany - came to the US in 1964. A chef and a baker too - as you can imagine... our house hosted many holidays. Christmas cookies for the neighbors were a must! Dedicated to everything he did, in the kitchen, the yard, and in helping people. A big heart and immeasurable values is what he was made of. side note - he never lost his accent! I'll always be Daddy's Girl. He will be watching from the heavens.... missing him always. Favorite color: purple
Barbara
Mother of the Bride
aka Heidi (typically only my Dad would call her that.. but you can try - she might answer you - haha) My precious Mom. A very thoughtful, strong woman indeed. She lives a life of do unto others - as you would have done to you. She is very helpful, loving, courageous, and always willing to lend an ear and motherly advice when I need it. She plays the piano, and "White Christmas" was one of my Dad's very favorites. Singing in the church choir is also among her many talents. She will be walking me down the isle on this October day. Favorite color: pink
Salvatore
Father of the Groom
He will be watching from above with Diane today as we say our 'I do's'. Sal worked tirelessly as a heat and frost insulator and treasurer of his Local 12 Union. He moved to Florida along with his wife, Diane to enjoy the sunshine, fishing, warm weather, and palm trees it had to offer. For a change of scenery, a trip to Vegas or back up to NY to visit the family was a wonderful time ! The crew also visited him in Florida and also toured Busch Gardens on one of their stays. There is something about the sunshine state that was irresistible -- it was certainly Sal. Favorite color: blue Missing him always. but especially on this day....
Dorothy
Mother of the Groom
This lovely lady created my future husband ! She's always looking out for her family, checking in and keeping track of the goings on - always loving to chat, and welcome you in for a visit. Trust me, between her immediate and extended family - we keep her busy! She has a heart of gold -- and isn't afraid to use it!! Thank you for making the perfect man! side note: she has been referred to as a 'bad-ass grandma' a time or two -- in the best way possible ! Favorite color: red
Michael
Pop of the Groom
aka Pop This man is unstoppable ! All day long he is doing a project or three, and in between - runs countless errands. The music is cranking in the garage as he's meticulously working. From electrical, to masonry, plumbing, working on the tractor, truck or car, to building a house with an elevator - he CAN do it it ALL ! He has a tool for everything - and is in the highest of demand ! Many gatherings - birthdays, holidays, and just because days are enjoyed by Mom and Pop too - Pop is passionate about cooking, grilling, and baking for the occasion - we all go home with yummy goodie bags after the feast !

Julie

My bestie! She is a trailblazer, coolest soccer mom ever, wifey to Jerryl, and a voice of reason. Understanding of my many quirks... although one or two may not be her favorites -- but.. that is one of the many reasons why I love her. I look up at her life accomplishments in awe, steadfast in all that she does. Side note: she drives a sweet orange Jeep too! NO ducks on the dashboard! Favorite color: orange
