Wedding Party
Winston DeMartini
Best Man
Winston is Morgan's Best Man and younger brother. They met a very very long time ago, back in 1997, when Winston was born. While they have had a very heated Yankees vs Mets rivalry growing up, they both share a love of sports, entrepreneurship, and traveling. Morgan is so excited to have Winston by his side as his best man!
Brittany Crima
Maid of Honor
Brittany is Taylor's Maid of Honor! She is Taylor's younger sister. Growing up in Florida, they made unforgettable memories at Disney, their family pool, dance classes, talent shows, and in the backseat of the "Ta hoe". As they got older and moved to New York, 7/11 runs and room hangouts became essential. They did not always see eye to eye-potentially a spatula or remote or two was chucked at one another- but they always had each other's back. Brittany is an amazing sister and Taylor is honored to have Brittany by her side on her wedding day!
Stephen Valensisi
Groomsman
Stephen and Morgan have been best friends since 3rd grade, when they were placed in the same class. Ever since then, they've remained close friends.

Stephen and Morgan are both huge Mets and Jets fans-that's how you know they will always remain loyal to each other even when times get tough! Fun fact- the bride and Stephen share a birthday down to the year (wonder which is older...)! Morgan is so excited and honored to have Stephen by his side on his wedding day!

Through all of life's ups and downs, they always knew they could count on each other no matter what-no judgement. Taylor is so excited and honored to have Jordyn by her side on her wedding day!

Ever since, Taylor and Charlotte formed a sisterly bond from holidays, to visiting her in Florida, and countless family vacations. Taylor is so excited to gain another sister and have Charlotte by her side!
Peter Schiff

Throughout their college years, they spent their time partying together in NYC as single, eligible bachelors. Now both boys are getting married and are both excellent dog dads to their fur babies. All these years later, they remain close friends, with Morgan proudly serving as a groomsman in Peter’s wedding this summer!

Payton Palumbo
Bridesmaid
Like with Juli and Ryann and Taylor met Payton in 2017 during a forced family trip to the pumpkin patch with Taylor's dad's new girlfriend. Payton was only 9 years old when they met, which made Taylor worried... would she ever be interested in hanging out with someone over 10 years older? Over time, Taylor and Payton formed a typical big sister/little sister relationship. They bonded over Tik Tok dances and Taco Bell, especially during the pandemic! She is so excited and honored to have Payton by her side on her wedding day and is ready for Payton to get "anything she can scavenge" from the open bar.

Every summer and school-year weekend when living in Florida Sabrina and Taylor, along with their other cousins, were always together. From days in the pool, to Barbie photoshoots, hours on the trampoline, and hide-and-seek in the dark Sabrina and Taylor had so many fun memories together. At one point, Sabrina even lived with Taylor's family when she moved to New York, further making their bond more like sisters that cousins. Taylor is honored to have Sabrina by her side and appreciates her work as the designated wedding planner and organizer!
Ava Vitale
Taylor's Something Blue
Ava is one of Taylor's cousins, who has always been like younger sister to her. Ava and Taylor were always together growing up in Florida, spending many days in the pool, trips to Orlando, and endless time hanging out at each other's houses. When both families moved to New York, Taylor lived with Ava's family and vice versa when each other's houses were under construction.

Taylor is so happy to have Ava as a part of her "blue crew" and can't wait to have her by her side on her wedding day!
Lena Vitale
Taylor's Something Blue
Lena is another one of Taylor’s cousins (and Ava’s sister) and was always like a younger sister to Taylor. Growing up in Florida, they spent many days at each other’s houses, always finding ways to spend time together. Taylor's mom always came in clutch with Bagelfuls, rainbow goldfish, and good vibes. Even with a ten-year age gap, they remained close, and their bond only grew stronger over the years. As Taylor got older, she spent a lot of time babysitting Lena and her sister, stopping by for pool days, afternoons together, and the occasional dance party in their kitchen. Taylor is so excited and grateful to have Lena be part of such a meaningful and special day.
Samantha Garetano
Taylor's Something Blue
Samantha is another one of Taylor’s cousins, and growing up she was more like the older sister Taylor never had. Taylor and Sam spent countless weekends together having sleepovers that usually included browsing MySpace, playing Pay Day way too many times, and making coffee at 3 a.m. Taylor always looked up to Sam and treasured the time they spent together, making so many memories along the way. Taylor is so excited and honored to have Sam as her something blue on such a special day.
Chloe Berger
Taylor's Something Blue
Chloe is Taylor’s younger cousin and her something blue for the wedding day. While they didn’t grow up side by side in the same way as her older sisters and other cousins, Chloe and Taylor shared many special moments through family holidays, time at the pool, and being together whenever family gathered. As Chloe has grown up, their relationship has naturally grown closer, and Taylor has loved getting to know her more as the kind, thoughtful, and wonderful person she has become. Taylor is so grateful to have Chloe play such a meaningful role on her wedding day!
