Christine & Eric
Meet Our Wedding Party
Adrienne
Cousin of Honor
Adrienne is the youngest '88 baby in the Domanico family. Adrienne has worked tremendously hard to achieve her dreams of being the best nurse and now, the best nurse anesthetist possible. Over the years, Adrienne and Chrissy's hangouts have evolved from sleepovers to working out together, attending concerts, and many beer fests. They've run a half marathon around Disney World and even been to Oktoberfest in Munich together! Adrienne loved Germany so much she named her adopted dog "Dunkel" which is German for "dark" and made popular by the type of beer. Chrissy has also been overjoyed to encourage Adrienne's interest in the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter and to this day still plays a large role in their lives.
Jess
Cousin of Honor
Jess is the July '88 baby in the Domanico family. She has achieved an unbelievable accomplishment and established herself as an English professor and Department Director at a university in Georgia. When Chrissy visited Jess a few years ago, the joy of the trip was multiplied by the beautiful life Jess has built for herself, including her daughter Gianna, dog Jersey, and her beloved horses. After family gatherings in the early 90s, one might have thought their parents were tearing one fantastic beast into two parts based on their pained shrieks. Amazingly, they have managed to grow out of that habit and have lived almost 1,000 miles apart for several years, but their reunions are always full of joy. Chrissy and Jess have shared a love of getting lost in the exceptional worlds within books.
Erik
Best Man
Eric and Erik met in kindergarten. Neither of them remember who said which part, but the story basically goes that they literally ran into each other said "Hi, I'm Eric/k" and the other replied "Hey, that's my name, too!" Almost 30 years of hilarity has ensued since then, including concerts, kayaking, and general degeneracy. Throughout their childhood years, they spent countless weekends together and Erik joined many Donato family trips to Florida. These guys are not only best friends; they're brothers.
Mike Valentine
Worst Man
Valentine is also a brother of Eric's, a frat brother! They've stayed connected during COVID by playing many many hours of video games, mainly about aliens (either hunting alien bugs or hanging out on a spaceship). This was the best picture of these two together and shows another good friend, Mariel. Can you tell whose idea it probably was to take a photo together?
