Juliana Denardi
Maid of Honor
Julie or "Juju" is my (Chaslyn's) long-time best friend since 6th grade! We promised each other all those years ago that we would be one another's MOH's at our weddings someday, and now it's finally happening! Julie has been more like a sister to me ever since we met, so many countless memories made together that the word count isn't long enough here for me to accurately describe how much Julie, and her friendship, means to this Bride! She is a loved and cherished friend and I can't wait to have her stand by my side.
Sophie Lou Facciponti
Bridesmaid
Sophie is my younger sister and my lovely junior bridesmaid. I am 13 years older than Sophie and when she was born I was over the moon that I finally had a sister! I am beyond grateful that I get to have Sophie walk down the aisle to stand by my side. Sophie brings unending laughter into my life and lights a fire in my soul to always work hard to make her proud. She even promised she would wear a dress just for me on the wedding day (that's a big favor from Sophie for those of you who don't know her personally - LOL)!
Mimi Lichacz
Bridesmaid
Mimi is one of my dearest best friends from my days at URI! We first met through our sorority, where we lived together and shared countless laughs. We shared everything from clothes to food, to hair dryers, you name it! We then were lucky enough to have the best senior year and move in with our other close friends (and bridesmaids - Evelyn & Kim) and we all got to live together and have way too much fun. Mimi has been helping me plan the wedding every step of the way and I can't thank her enough for always being there for me!
Kim Baiada
Bridesmaid
Kim is also one of my best friends from the old Rhody days! Kim was actually one of my very first friends at college, we met through a mutual friend and quickly realized we had ended up in the same sorority and the rest was history ever since! Kim brings a smile to my face every time I talk to her! She's my go-to when I need an honest opinion (always given with love haha)! Knowing Kim and being her friend has made my life so much better and I am forever grateful for her support and shoulder to lean on when I need it.
Evelyn Spencer
Bridesmaid
Eve was also one of the first people I met in college. We sat next to each other in our freshman year English class and quickly became friends! We also were in the same sorority and got to enjoy living together for many years. Evelyn and I make each other laugh till we cry and she always knows how to put a smile on everyone's face when she's around! No matter how far away Eve lives, I know she's always there when I need her! Her love for those she cares about is so genuine and rare that knowing her is a privilege.
Megan Cummings
Bridesmaid
Megan is one of my cousins! We grew up together close in age and Megan, Shannen, and I were inseparable growing up! We were together almost every weekend (always managing to get into some sort of trouble as kids)! Megan was kind enough to help me, very last minute, when I decided to move across the country from PA to CA! We road tripped together and shared memories I'll never forget (like almost getting sucked up into a Tornado which Megan proceeded to think was hysterical while I white-knuckled the steering wheel to safety), all jokes aside Megan was one of the first people to meet Jhonny and made me feel at ease as I started my new life in Cali, I will never forget those times!
Shannen Brady
Bridesmaid
Shannen is my other cousin that I was lucky enough to grow up with! Before there was Sophie Lou, all I had was Shannen and Megan, they were the sisters I always wanted growing up! Shannen lived next door to my grandmother and I saw her almost every weekend, we spent countless summers in the pool together laughing and swimming! Shannen can make any room light up when she walks into it. She is truly one of the most genuine and kind people I have the privilege of knowing and I'm so thankful she gets to be by my side on my wedding day!
Jasper Casey
Groomsman
Jhonny and Jasper met while they were both Marine prosecutors aboard Camp Pendleton, CA. They have remained close friends ever since and regularly hang out while stationed in the D.C. area. Jasper and Jhonny both enjoy sports and grilling on the weekends.
