Wedding Party

Meet the special people in our lives who we are honored to have beside us on our special day.

Kim Lipari

Mother of the Groom


Karyn Stoneberg

Mother of the Bride

Fortunato "Fred" Lipari

Father of the Groom


Mark Stoneberg

Father of the Bride

Phil Lipari

Best Man

Phil is my oldest brother and life-long best friend - we go way back. What he lacks in athletic ability he makes up for in competitiveness. This future golden retriever owner is happiest when he's in the gym with Gossip Girl on the TV and mirrors all around. He is the self-proclaimed "glue" of the friend group and lives with his newlywed Anna in Columbus, Ohio.


Kelly Harle

Maid of Honor

Kelly was one of my first friends when I moved to South Carolina and is a blessing beyond words. Some of my most cherished memories to date include her and her family. I cannot imagine her not being my go to on this special day. Kelly lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Nicholas "Sonny" Lipari

Best Man

Sonny is the 2nd youngest Lipari so we both share the "middle child" realm of the family. This minimalist is a liability in the kitchen and is best known for his famous dish: Medium Rare Chicken. There isn't an athletic flaw he recognizes in himself and will go to his grave claiming he's the best Lipari in any sport. He is by far the most caring and thoughtful Lipari and I couldn't be luckier to have him as a younger brother. Sonny attends Medical School at Ohio State and currently lives in Columbus, Ohio.


Jessica Andrews

Bridesmaid

I'm lucky to have shared many experiences with Jess through our years of friendship with many travels, concerts and late nights. We were even lucky enough to study abroad at the same time. I am honored to have her beside me as I was on her special day! Jess lives in Columbus, Ohio.

Dom Lipari

Best Man

Dom Dom is the youngest of the Lipari bunch. Being the baby of the family and the self-proclaimed golden child, he enjoyed a luxurious childhood. Dom Dom is a late bloomer and although Phil and Sonny will debate this, he is now the most athletic Lipari - a real feel good story. He has the diet of a 6 year old and is constantly wearing things that I guess are stylish? I'm extremely lucky to have this guy as a younger brother. He currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio.


Taylor Babashka

Bridesmaid

One could say she was my first friend and a forever friend as my cousin. I've cherished living so close to her in recent years and am so happy to have her be a part of my special day! Taylor lives in Woodstock, Illinois.

Brendan Burzanko

Groomsman

Brendan was one of my roommates at Miami Ohio. He has a unique way with words late-night and was thankfully my very unsuccessful wingman back in college. We share a sense of humor and love for all things Cleveland, unfortunately that includes the Browns. Brendan lives with his newlywed Courtney (CoCo) in Cleveland, Ohio.


Brandi Hooten

Bridesmaid

One of the first friends I made when I moved to South Carolina, college roommate and life long friend. Perhaps her most important title is Mom to my adorable Godson! She and I share so many special memories and I am honored for her to stand beside me as I did on her wedding day! Brandi lives in Columbia, South Carolina.

Darnell Clark

Groomsman

Darnell is best described as a family friend turned brother. This wanderer can strike up a conversation with just about anyone and act as though they knew each other their whole lives. If you hear a high pitched "OHP" in the distance, Darnell is probably near. He's a die-hard Penn State fan and the kind of person that would take the shirt off his back for a stranger. He currently lives in Columbus, Ohio.


Allison Lemmon

Bridesmaid

A dear friend that I was lucky enough to work with, experience many moments at USC with, and experience the real world first hand with post grad when we moved in together. So lucky to have her by my side for this day! Allison lives in Charleston, South Carolina.

Travis Daulton

Groomsman

Trav was another roommate at Miami Ohio. He was the Dad of the friend group, anytime anything needed fixed or we needed help with something that a typical 20 year old wouldn't know how to deal with, we'd call Trav. Trav was one of the first friends I made at Miami and one that I knew would be a close one for life. He currently lives with his wife Kendall and new daughter Drew! in Cleveland, Ohio.


Anna Lipari

Bridesmaid

If the name doesn't give it away, Anna will be my first sister! I've cherished getting to know her these last few years and am so excited to become a Lipari alongside her and have a forever travel companion! Anna lives in Columbus, Ohio.

Dom DeFelice

Groomsman

Dom is another friend turned brother. He was in Phil's grade and we've been really close friends ever since high school. He has an undeniable, God-given gift for story telling and has been known to add a few enticing details to his memories. However, when it comes to being a wingman, he makes Brendan look like Barney Stinson. Dom currently lives with his wife Courtney and new daughter GiGi! in Canfield, Ohio.


Jaci Mullally

Bridesmaid

It all started at a Summer camp in 2nd grade when we became fast friends. We lost touch but years later were friends for a solid two years before we realized we were friends in a previous life! She's been a constant in my life for well over a decade and I am so lucky to have her by my side! Jaci lives in Okinawa, Japan.

Mark Gayetsky

Groomsman

Mark has been a close friend since high school. We bonded & got to know each other really well on the far end of the bench of our high school basketball games. One time our head coach called out a player to sub in and Mark mistook it for his name so jumped up all excited just to have to make the long walk back to our assigned bench spots. The secondhand embarrassment I felt for my friend there was something I still feel to this day. He is ridiculously thoughtful, caring and is the definition of what it means to be a good friend. He graduated from law school at Ohio State and is currently living with his newlywed in Columbus, Ohio.


Alyssa Passero

Bridesmaid

Alyssa and I met during college and share so many memories together! We were lucky enough to take the leap and move to Chicago together. So happy to have her be a bridesmaid! Alyssa lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Adam Robertson

Groomsman

Adam is a family friend that I've known for almost my entire life. Our moms were friends even before I moved to Poland so once I did we became extremely close and have been ever since. He's had his fair share of nutty experiences and is as goofy and as funny as they come. Adam just recently moved to his new home in Cleveland, Ohio!


Dani Rutana

Bridesmaid

While Sonny Lipari might beg to differ, Dani takes the claim to setting Chris and I up. She and her sister Jess have been my birthday buddies, and dear friends for well over a decade. I am so honored to have you stand by my side! Dani lives in Columbus, Ohio.

Ben Rutan

Groomsman

Benny was one of my college roommates at Miami Ohio. As the country friend, he's made us all listen to our fair share of country music over the years, particularly In Color by Jamey Johnson which is now a group favorite! Benny is frustratingly good at golf and enjoys himself a single Bud Light Lime. Benny currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio.


Megan Schleicher

Bridesmaid

While spending just a brief amount of time at USC together, Megan and I developed a friendship that has continued to flourish. I am so lucky to have her beside me on my special day! Megan lives in Buffalo, New York.

Matt Silvis

Groomsman

Silvis and I were in the same work training program in Chicago so he was one of the first friends I met after I moved to Chicago. We were roommates for a few years and had our fair share of alleged shortcomings as adults living on our own (may or may not have missed the windows being open in the winter for months, unexplainable gas bills). He is a die-hard Detroit and Michigan State fan but his favorite MLB player is Vlad Guerrero Jr.. Silvis currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.


Meredith Tesone

Bridesmaid

Friends since the third grade, and neighborhood pals. Mer and I have shared so many wonderful memories over the years and I am blessed to know her and have her beside me on my wedding day! Meredith lives in Columbus, Ohio.

Noah Stoneberg

Groomsman

Noah is Serena's brother and someone that I'm extremely excited to have as a brother of my own! I reckon my man is southern as heck, has a drawl that can rival George Straight. Couldn't be more envious of his beard, it's a classic situation where I'll get carded at a bar but my younger brother of 7 years won't. He's a die-hard Bears fan and is currently living in Columbia, South Carolina.


Gina Ungaro

Bridesmaid

A very sweet part of the Lipari family that I am so happy I get to love and know. I am beyond happy that I get to have Gina be a part of my special day! Gina lives in Youngstown, Ohio.
