Meet Our Wedding Party

Cathrine Esposito

Bride

Tyler Swett

Groom

Angelina Esposito

Maid of Honor

Sister of the Bride For those who don't know, Angelina is Cathy's little sister and built-in-best-friend. As a big sister you're supposed to be the one doing all the teaching, but I must say Angelina has always been a great example for me in my life, of what pure love and kindness looks like. Watching her grow into the beautiful woman that she is today brings confidence that I did my part as 'annoying big sister', and I am even prouder of all the accomplishments she has made thus far. Today is the day when my heart is full of joy and pride at the same time – as she stands beside me as my Maid of Honor!

Sabrina Didiano

Matron of Honor

Friend of the Bride Sabrina and Cathy have been best friends ever since they were little kids. From their elementary days at Carbone School to the accomplished young ladies that they are today- the two have experienced nearly every 'first' together growing up. From planning the weddings of their dreams with the men they always raved about in their favorite childhood hangout spot, to all the support they've provided each other throughout the years, these two have built an inseparable bond that will continue to follow them for many years to come! I love you Shem

Brianna Green

Bridesmaid

Friend of the bride Brianna and Cathy met many years ago, as Brianna's boyfriend (Richard Canto- Best Man) was best friends with the Groom all throughout their high school and young adult years. Brianna and Cathy clicked over their love for Starbucks coffee, the struggles of being a college student, and everything in between. From the hundreds of double-dates and adventures these two have experienced over the years, to their late-night weekend frolicking, Brianna and Cathy have built an incredible friendship that will last for many years to come.

Melanie Carpanzano

Bridesmaid

Friend of the Bride Over the past two years, Cathy and Melanie’s friendship has grown from a simple connection into an unbreakable bond. What started as casual conversations and shared interests has blossomed into an incredibly supportive relationship. Mel, I am so incredibly happy that life has brought us two together and I am so grateful to have you my by side as I move into this next chapter of my life. Love you!

Paige Deluca

Bridesmaid

Sorority Sister/ Friend of Bride Cathy and Paige met at the University of New Haven. While on the search for the perfect sorority 'Little Sister', Cathy was introduced to Paige through a mutual friend at the time. The two connected over their love for Halloween, music and more. Paige, the social butterfly that she is, was the perfect match for Cathy. I am proud to say that our sisterhood has followed us far beyond our time at UNH, and I am even prouder of the incredible woman you are today. I love you, my Little Scream Queen!

Riley Kolinsky

Bridesmaid

Sorority Sister/ Friend of Bride Riley is the sweetest little blessing in my life, that I never originally went looking for, but instead found me! She is the best 'Little' to my Paige, and the most supportive 'Grand-Little Sister' to me. Riley has been the most amazing friend, cheering me on at my best and comforting me at my worst. I am grateful you stumbled upon our little Phi Sig family, and that we get to continue building our bond for many more years to come!

Sophia Pannone

Bridesmaid

Cousin of Bride Cathy and Sophia are cousins and luckily got to experience many of life's challenges and adventures with each other growing up. From week-long sleepovers at Sophia's childhood home, to choreographing dances and setting up shop at our family events, Sophia and Cathy share many incredible memories together. Soph, I am so grateful that as I embark on this new journey in my life, I get to have my cousin by my side.

Vincenzo Venditti

Bridesman

Cousin of Bride Cathy and Vinny lived together for many valuable years during their childhood, and when they didn't, Cathy was always looking for any opportunity to set up a sleepover and spend more time with her cousin Vinny. From all the days they would spend playing Mario on the GameCube, collecting old coins and crystal rocks, or even designing their dream home for their Webkinz family, Cathy and Vinny shared a love for creativity and design. Vinny, thank you for making the trip back to CT to spend this special day with me, for always being a voice of reason when I need it, and for always finding ways to make me laugh.

Richard Canto

Best Man

Best Friend of Groom Tyler and Richie met in high school gym class, while both attending Lyman Hall High School. Often mistaken as brothers, they spent countless hours together throughout their high school years, and continue to maintain a strong friendship today. Richie, thank you for standing by me on the most important day of my life.

Rj Purpora

Groomsman

Best friend of Groom Tyler and RJ met while in middle school, after connecting through a mutual friend. The two were inseparable ever since; whether they were spotted scootering around East Haven or on the courts with a basketball, you were bound to find them together. Tyler and RJ have shared in many of life's precious moments together. RJ, I am so grateful for our friendship and for having you by my side.

Jake Young

Groomsman

Friend of Groom After transferring to a new High School, Tyler met Jake through a mutual friend at the time. They would often hang out together at Jake's family home, whether it be swimming in the pool or playing basketball. Jake introduced Tyler to Maine for the very first time, prior to him moving there full-time. Jake, I am so happy that despite you living in Maine, we continue to be great friends! Thank you for standing by me today!

Christian Swett

Groomsman

Brother of Groom Christian is Tyler's younger brother (the middle of three), and an extremely hard-working and creative guy! Often you would find Christian baking or decorating the house for the nearest holiday. What Tyler appreciates most about Christian is that he was always so caring and thoughtful growing up. Christian, thank you for being a part of my special day, and for welcoming Cathy into the family with open arms.

Dylan Swett

Groomsman

Brother of Groom Dylan is Tyler's youngest brother. Growing up Tyler remember's Dylan being a crazy kid, often running around with his foam sword or playing outside. After highschool, Dylan ventured off to Rhode Island where he began to build a life of his own, which included his crazy Husky pup Nova. Dylan, thanks for making the trip down to be a part of this special day.

Michael Engelhardt

Groomsman

Friend of the Groom Tyler and Michael met many years ago in their early teen years, working their very first jobs at Walmart in Branford, CT. It wasn’t until recently, that the two reconnected and have spent countless hours working towards many similar goals together. Tyler is incredibly appreciative of Michael and his friendship, and his refreshing ability to always make Tyler laugh!

Serena Pannone

Junior Bridesmaid

Cousin of Bride Serena is not your average kid, but rather a super smart, super cool, spunky JB that knows exactly how to add her own unique flare to the job! Serena, thank you for getting the aisle ready for me!

Kyleigh Bruce

Junior Bridesmaid

Cousin of the Groom Kyleigh is Tyler's youngest cousin, and watching her grow up has been such a unique experience. From making reindeer food to all of the other family traditions growing up, Cathy and Tyler are grateful to have her be a part of their special day.

Michael Valentino

Ring Security

Cousin of Bride Michael is not your typical Italian ring boy! You can often spot Michael playing basketball with his friends at the park, breaking a bone trying a new trick on his bike, or attempting to play the game with Tyler. Michael, it has been a pleasure watching you grow up (maybe slow down a little), and I can't wait to watch you deliver those rings!

Aiden Bruce

Ring Security

Cousin of the Groom Aiden is Tyler's little twin (even though he is definitely outgrowing him in height). You can often find Aiden on the field playing football or playing Xbox with his friends. Tyler can see a lot of his own qualities in Aiden, from when he was a young boy. Thank you for being a part of this special day, and we are so excited to continue to watch you grow up.
