Wedding Party

Gabriella

Maid of Honor

Sister of the bride “I can’t say I recall the first time I met Cristi as a wee baby. What I will say though, is that I am very humbled to be the maid of honor and blessed to have a lifetime of memories, shenanigans, and flat out tomfoolery with my dearest sister. I know that our jokes, experiences, and sister-ship will age like the finest cheese. Sharper, classier, riper, nuttier. As the old Italian proverbs say, sister to sister we will always be, a couple of nuts off the same tree."

Lorenzo

Best Man

Brother of the groom "For those of you that don’t know me I’m sorry for your loss but I’m Lorenzo, Christopher’s older yet shorter brother. My brother and I growing up had such an age difference it was hard to have many things in common, but we grew older our bond had become so much stronger. Our interests started to become the same, our hobbies started to become the same, etc. I’ll save the juicy stuff for my speech, but I am the best man for my younger brother and it is the greatest honor I could have ever been given! See you you all at the party!"

Kelsey

Bridesmaid

"I met Cristi in a very unusual fashion. She found me hiding in a bush. We were in the very beginning of 7th grade, and my only friend in school had just moved. I was awkward and didn't really know how to make new friends. She saw me hiding and eating my lunch alone. Cristi immediately welcomed me into her group of friends, and we've been best friends since then. She has been part of every aspect of my life, all the good and the bad, and I am honored to be a part of her special day."

Anthony

Groomsman

I worked at JR cigars in 2016 after college, where I met Chris. He was working there before me, so he knew a bit more than me about cigars (but not much). We’d talk about where we grew up and thought it was strange and cool that we neighbored each other and never met. We became friends at work and got closer over time. Chris came over for Sunday dinner & I the same. His family treated me as their own, which felt amazing to me, maybe that’s just a ‘Talian thing. I'm an only child so Chris was a brother to me! We had cigars by me (in the freezing cold), or in his parents backyard. It’s always a great time with Chris. We went snowboarding together his first time. The stories of him falling down of the mountain could make anyone fall off their chair! Love you guys, many more memories to come!

Valentina

Bridesmaid

"To know Cristi is to know laughter, fun and the most authentic joie de vivre. I first met Cristi in middle school in 2002. We were both bundled up in jackets during a freezing winter, waiting to go back inside during a school play intermission. In theory it was not supposed to be a fun evening - but enter Cristi. We hadn't known each other before that moment - but so easily, and instantaneously, made me feel welcome…and just like that I gained a best friend for life. This is a gift Cristi has like few others, to welcome everyone, make them feel good, cherished, and appreciated all sprinkled with her infectious laughter. Cristi has always maintained her beautiful spirit, a kind and generous heart for people and the planet. I am blessed to have the gift of Cristi's friendship in my life."

"Do you know when you meet someone and you just click? That was Cristi and I! From day one, we shared laughs, secrets and so much love for each other. I am fortunate to have a friend like Cristi, free of judgment, full of love and one of the nicest people I know. I am so honored to be a part of this wedding."

Kristine

Bridesmaid

"I met Cristi at New Jersey Plastic Surgery. I was new and she immediately welcomed me with open arms and we had lunch together. The rest is history. She’s one of the sweetest and best friends I’ve been lucky enough to have for ten plus years!"

Marisa

Bridesmaid

"I met Cristi on one of my first dates with my current boyfriend almost 8 years ago, and she has been one of my most treasured friendships ever since. From beach trips and lake shenanigans, to adventures in Hawaii, we have made so many memories that I cherish and I look forward to making so many more with her."

Chelsea

Bridesmaid

From the first night meeting Cristi at Anthony’s house to forming a beautiful friendship, I’m so thankful we met that night. Cristi right from the start showed me her bubbly, fun and caring personality and right there I knew I found a forever friend. If I need anything, I know I can always call Cristi. Cristi is extremely thoughtful and is the type of person who will always put a smile on my face. From our Halloween overnights, apple picking, sushi, Maggie’s Tavern, to just being lazy in her apartment every time I’m with Cristi it’s one to remember. I’m looking forward to creating more memories and special moments with you. I’m so honored and excited to be apart of your special day!

Kimberly

Bridesmaid

"I’m so lucky to call Cristi my new sister (in-law). We both married into the Tattoli family. I first met Cristi when Chris brought her over to my fixer-upper. Cristi had just gotten a fresh manicure, sat down next to me and started helping me pull weeds in my yard. I knew Chris picked a keeper in that moment."

Lily Anne

Flower Girl

Flower baby, Lily Anne is the daughter of best man Lorenzo and bridesmaid Kim. Baby Lily Anne said, "I met Aunt Cristi and Uncle Christopher soon after my birth and am humbled and honored to be the flower girl for their upcoming nuptials. In my free time, I'll be perfecting my petal tossing techniques to prime the aisle for Aunt Cristi's descent. Overjoyed does not adequately describe my feelings for what will be a scintillating wedding and heavenly union of two souls".
