Chris & Mary Ann
Wedding Party
Cleary Goodman
Maid of Honor
Also better known as "MY BEST FRIEND CLEARY". Cleary and the bride have known each other since they were 3 years old. The two were inseparable starting in Pre-K at Long Beach Catholic Regional School and all the way through high school at St. John the Baptist. Cleary and the bride have attended school together for 15 years and playing every sport possible -everything from soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, and of course Jim Corcoran's infamous CYO basketball team. Cleary has been the consistent rock and sister figure in the bride's life always supporting her through the big, small and sometimes dramatic moments, but always being an amazing friend for over 25 years. There is no one else better suited to stand by the bride's side for yet again another milestone.
Ashleigh May Longo
Bridesmaid
AML was the bride's college roommate for all four years of college. The two have traveled the world together - everywhere from Mexico, Puerto Rico, and even studying abroad together in Italy for a summer (with the Jersey Shore cast). AML is the ultimate planner (even giving the bride a run for her money) and is always down for a girl's trip and tequila shots. The two have a bond so strong and have leaned on each other over the years. Their friendship has grown from their 18 year old college student days of sneaking into bars (sorry Eddie and El) with the infamous Billy Joes stamp to figuring out this thing called "adulting".
Elizabeth Monaco
Bridesmaid
Liz and the bride first met on the volleyball court at MSMC. Liz was first the bride's captain and quickly turned into a "big sister" on and off the court. Despite living in the Hudson Valley, Liz and the bride have always stayed close - distance never being an issue. Liz, her husband Nick, Leo and now Baby G have opened their home to the bride and their friends hosting the group for alumni weekends, alumni games, and even weekend wine getaways. The bride stood beside Liz on her wedding day and is honored to have Liz now return the favor.
Alexandra Pisciotta
Bridesmaid
Alexandra, better known as Allie is the groom's youngest sister. The bride and Allie have bonded over the years everything from fashion and makeup to trendy works outs and athletics - always giving each other tips on the latest and greatest. During the summers Allie can be found at the bride and groom's beach town soaking up the sun and crashing on the couch after a fun night out.
Victoria Brennan
Bridesmaid
Victoria is the groom's older sister. The bride and Victoria actually met four years before the bride and groom would meet in college. The bride and Victoria attended rival high schools and played varsity volleyball against one another. What a small world that only a few years later the bride and Victoria's brother would start dating. Last fall the bride was honored to stand by Victoria's side as she married her husband, Dan.
Anthony D'Agostino
Groomsmaid
Anthony has been good friends with both the bride and groom since college and have become even closer following college when he decided to move to Long Beach just around the block from the couple. Prior to moving to Long Beach, Anthony was a frequent weekend guest at the bride and groom's beach home. Anthony was always such a considerate guest bearing gifts...alcohol and his famous Apple Pie! The couple have traveled to Utah and numerous Vermont snowboarding trips building a close friendship over the years which is why Anthony's official title is "Groomsmaid" - they both wanted him to be apart of their wedding party. Anthony is always the first one ready to hit their beach on Tennessee Ave. and for a Sunday Funday.
Donte Howell
Best Man
Donte and the groom met in college and were immediately inseparable the moment they stepped on campus and it was unlikely to see this dynamic duo apart. The two were roommates throughout college and you would typically find Donte and Chris heading to Aquinas or Kaplan, doing what they did best, eat and play basketball. When the bride started dating Chris, she knew Donte and Chris were a packaged deal. The three are extremely close and are blessed to have such a strong friendship that has continued almost 10 years later. When the groom decided he was proposing, Donte was the only person he had shared the good news with. Basketball brought them together, but their friendship off the court is what makes Donte the perfect Best Man.
Carlos Santana
Groomsman
Carlos, also known as "Papi" has been in both the bride and groom's lives since college. With Carlos being 6'8'', he was really excited for Chris to attend MSMC, mostly for the fact that he had another person he could borrow clothes and sneakers from. The groom and Carlos played basketball together for 3 years and even won an ECAC title together. Carlos has been an amazing and loyal friend to the bride and groom over the years being there every step of the way. The groom was honored to be in Carlos' wedding and the bride and groom are both excited to have Carlos stand by them as they get married. Guests will be sure to catch Carlos on the dance floor breaking out his newest moves.
Christopher Frey
Groomsman
Chris, also known as "Frey" and the groom have been friends since college. They started as teammates and quickly grew their friendship on and off the court.

Frey and his entire family have been a apart of the bride and groom's lives for many years. The groom, aka Lake House Master, was honored to be a part of Frey's wedding and is excited to have him return the favor.
