Victoria has been Victoria's best friend since Middle School. They bonded over the love of the same TV shows at the lunch table, and the bond has grown over the years.

Victoria has honored the betrothed couple with her event planning expertise, so this day truly would not be happening without her help.

While Hannah was studying at RIT, the three explored Rochester by going to mini-golf, dinners, and festivals!

She has always been there for her brother John, and now with the families joining together, Hannah and Victoria each now have a new sister.
Chase Laurence
Best Man
Chase and John met all the way back in the 7th grade and quickly became good friends. Chase is adventurous, hilarious, and the embodiment of ADD. Everyone he ever meets loves him and wants to be his friend, which John has been lucky to be able to call him for the past 16+ years!
Gabriel Gomez
Groomsman
Gabriel and John oddly enough didn't like each other at first during the incoming highschool freshman tennis summer program. However this quickly changed once highschool began. Gabriel has been a very close friend, and tennis partner ever since. Gabriel is also a very talented film photographer, proof is that he shot all of our engagement photos seen on the save the dates, invitations, and wedding website!
Frank Masi
Groomsman
Frank is one of John's oldest friends, going back to the 6th grade. Incredibly smart and well read, Frank has always been somebody to have an interesting conversation with. Frank has always been a good friend to John, which he never takes for granted.
Devon Stewart
Groomsman
Devon and John started their friendship in freshman year of high school and it has only grown since. Devon is a loyal friend that is always there when you need to get something off your chest. His obscure references and edgy memes are a sure way to keep John laughing.
Brendan O'Brien
Groomsman
Brendan and John met while both working at the University of Rochester Medical Center. John was able to get through working through a pandemic and a major trauma hospital mostly because of Brendan and apple fritter donuts. A total stud and the ultimate hype-man, Brendan is a blast to be around. Send 'er bud!
