Jnai & Corey
Wedding Party
Bob Spaziani
Father of the Bride
My Dada is my favorite person and if you know me, you know. I owe my father everything and am beyond happy that he will be giving me away to the man of my dreams. He has taught me how to shop the best grocery sales, to never judge a garage sale from the road, to always have toothpicks in the house, and to make sure you do not take everything too seriously. He allows me to ramble about Ronnie and genuinely enjoys it. I love you Dada and I know you loved me first. Corey and Bob have an ideal relationship for a Father in-law and Son in-law. Corey delivers his mail and Bob makes sure there is always a cold drink in a cooler for him, sometimes he even leaves pizza fritta! Corey is very thankful to have Bob and appreciates all his wisdom, thoughts, and advice, and loves learning from him unless it is glazing windows. We love when Bob pops over to see us and Ronnie.
Shelly Spaziani
Mother of the Bride
Shelly is an incredible mother, incredibly honest and giving. She is the one person you want on your side and will always be there to give advice. I cannot thank her enough for teaching me to be an independent woman and not to settle for anything. We can laugh about everything, talk about politics, and trash about the Real Housewives. I am lucky that she enjoys the same shows as me! Shelly has supported me throughout all my choices in life. All her advice has made me who I am and will continue to make me a great wife and mother one day. As a child, I always knew she would be there for me, guiding me and planning my wedding! She will certainly be the one crying at the wedding, both tears of joy and sadness but don't worry I will still be your baby! Corey and Shelly have a wonderful relationship. They both know they can call each other at any time for anything. We both know we are lucky to have Shelly and are thrilled she supports our love and wedding.
Joanne Pluff
Matron of Honor
We met at Utica College, we started running together...the streets(literally 3x a week) and to Target. Besides Target we both love Ruffino Prosecco, snacks, trash tv, and laughing together. Our friendship has been one of understanding, compassion, love, and honesty. She is the mother of my flower girl, Quinn!
Maria Internicola
Maid of Honor
It all started in the 7th grade when I forced Maria to sit next to me in Home & Careers class. We hung out for the first time at my 7th grade "Fright Night" Halloween party where she dressed as a cat. All throughout school, we shared several special occasions together like prom dress shopping. When Maria needs an extra push she comes to me and when I need an honest opinion I go to her. It comes as no surprise that Maria would be a part of our special day since she has always been there for me through the good and bad times.
Melissa Zeina
Bridesmaid
It came to no shock to anyone when we became friends and neighbors by choice. Our personalities are one in the same and we are both as sarcastic as can be. Our time lines for life have been lining up perfectly. She is also a bride getting married June 2023 where I am her Maid of Honor- a title I cherish. Our friendship is full of laughter, date nights where we order way too much food, chatting about our dogs and setting goals together. Melissa is like the sister I never had.
Alissa Morrreale
Bridesmaid
Alissa and I have shared several important life moments together. Graduating high school, earning our masters, being hired for our first jobs-Alissa was a social studies teacher first, too! I was Alissa's bridesmaid in July 2022 where I was able to stand by her side when she married a stellar guy. I have been fortunate enough to have her there for me during funny times and sad times.
Sara Degrace
Bridesmaid
Sara is Corey's sister! and one of the sweetest moms I know! Our hobbies are similar in the fact that we both love to bake, shop, and spend time with the Clark family. Corey views Sara as one of his best friends and loves reminiscing about their childhoods. Sara is the mother of our nephew Elliott (ringbearer) and our niece Sofia (flower girl).
Sofia Degrace
Flower Girl
Sofia is our niece and is so sweet and loving. We cannot wait to see her in her little dress walking down the aisle as our flower girl.
Quinn Lee Pluff
Flower Girl
Quinn is the daughter of my best friend and Matron of Honor, Joanne! She is taking her role as a flower girl very seriously and will do a fantastic job
Donna Clark
Mother of the Groom
I have been blessed to have a rational and loving mother. She is a great mom, friend, and supporter. My mom is the glue that holds our family together and the one person you definitely want to have at a party. We love going on vacations together and waking up early to enjoy breakfast together. J'Nai and Donna have a great relationship. They both love charcuterie platters, desserts, and laughing. My mom will be the one dancing all night until they kick her out!
Tony Gazzal
Best Man
Tony has been more like a brother to me than anyone else. We met while working at the Post Office. We enjoy having drinks together, fixing our cars, and joking about everything. I was lucky enough to be Tony's best man in July 2022.
Calder Casey
Groomsman
Calder and I go way back. We met in the sixth grade. We enjoy hunting, motorcycle riding, having drinks, and going to new places together. Growing up with him as a best friend was thrilling and adventurous, to say the least.
Rob Gilbert
Groomsman
Gilly and I met at work and have not stopped laughing since. He is the best guy to be around, he makes people feel good about themselves and is a great friend to have.
Cory Hurlbut
Groomsman
Cory and I met when he recommended a gun to me at Gander Mountain. I had no idea that he was dating a high school friend of mine, Rachel. We instantly became friends, talking about guns, tools, and life. I was his groomsman when he married Rachel and it was a great time!
Nick Spaziani
Groomsman
Nick is J'Nai's brother! Like me he also knows how genuine, zesty and caring J'Nai is. We are happy to have him be a part of our day!
Elliott Degrace
Ring Bearer
Elliott is our firstborn nephew and has a smile that lights up the room. We are delighted to have him be our ring bearer!
Ronnie
Our complete obsession
Ronnie is our little fur man. His legs sometimes resemble egg rolls and he is always up for a treat...like his mom. He loves going on walks with us and watching our tv shows together. We treat him like our baby and enjoy every second we spend harassing him and talking to him. He helps make our house a home.
