Robyn HochfelderRobyn Hochfelder
Matron of Honor
I met Robyn in 2019 when Dylan and his brother Zach brought us home for a family BBQ. We soon discovered we both met our future husbands on Hinge at the exact same time—a sure sign we were meant to be family! Since then, she has become my amazing sister and my Matron of Honor. Robyn is someone I can always count on for a deep conversation or a big laugh. Our friendship is full of hilarious memories, from dressing as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory characters to our many "heart-to-heart" girls' days. Whether she’s comforting me after an accidental football to the head or sharing funny stories about the Goldstein brothers, I am so lucky to have her standing beside me as I officially join the family.
Kacey GreenKacey Green
Maid of Honor
Kacey is my sister and my biggest connection to Mom and Dad. She’s seven years younger than me, and it’s been special watching her grow into the determined, funny, and creative person she is today. A recent Purdue University graduate, Kacey is now building her career as a social media influencer. She’s always been the one to go all out for family gatherings—whether it’s decorating for a party, quoting Spongebob, or hosting her own hibachi lunches and dinners, complete with menus and chef performances. I’m grateful to have her standing by my side on such an important day.
Jenn SeeligJenn Seelig
Bridesmaid
I met Jenn in Scudder Hall on the very first weekend of college, and we’ve been inseparable ever since! She is, quite literally, the funniest person I have ever met. Anyone who has seen us together knows we instantly turn into the goofiest versions of ourselves. We pledged Sigma Delta Tau together and were practically attached at the hip all four years at SUNY New Paltz. I would not have gotten through pledging without Jenn. And, we both share a love for beagles and grew up having that breed! Even cooler, you can now catch her on all of our Long Island TV screens as an Anchor/Reporter at News 12! She’s an absolute powerhouse of talent and humor, and I feel so lucky to have her friendship.
Deanna DiRicoDeanna DiRico
Bridesmaid
I met Deanna at SUNY New Paltz, and we immediately connected as sisters of Sigma Delta Tau. From that moment on, we did absolutely everything together! We were study (and procrastination) partners, both completing our MBAs side-by-side. On top of that, Deanna is now a Senior Accountant at Stony Brook Medicine! We love exploring everywhere from the Dominican Republic and California to an entire cruise around Europe. When we're back home, our bond continues over trying out restaurants and going to the beach. Deanna is, without a doubt, the best hostess and master planner I know; she always organizes the most perfect days or nights out. She has a way of making every experience special, and I'm so lucky to have her by my side!
Jane BiedermannJane Biedermann
Bridesmaid
I also met Jane at SUNY New Paltz when we became sisters of Sigma Delta Tau. She is truly one of the funniest people I know, she can make me laugh without even trying! Beyond the laughs, Jane is my absolute go-to for everything; I know I can always rely on her for sound, honest advice. On top of being my bestie for life and a fantastic travel partner for adventures near and far, she's also incredibly accomplished, working as an Assistant Vice President, Human Resources Business Partner. I feel so lucky to have her friendship and her perspective in my life!
Sandy PerlinSandy Perlin
Bridesmaid
I met Sandy in ninth grade at Syosset High School, and she's been a constant source of laughter in my life ever since! We quickly became inseparable, spending countless nights laughing at her house, having insane shopping trips to Zara, and making great memories at our favorite bars. Professionally, Sandy is an incredibly driven educator and the Co-Director of Steps to Success IX. She is committed to creating amazing learning environments and helping children grow into independent, confident thinkers. She’s one of the most vibrant people I know, and I couldn't imagine this day without her!
Jillian PalumboJillian Palumbo
Bridesmaid
Jillian is an Occupational Therapist Certified Neuro Specialist, and one of my oldest and dearest friends from Syosset High School. We've shared so many milestones! She always knows how to make me laugh, how to eat well and stay healthy, and how to dress in the absolute trendiest way. My family even had the joy of bringing her along to Hawaii when we were just sixteen! Jillian is the type of friend who is always in your corner, and I'm so grateful for her constant support and amazing energy in my life.
Ceci BolgerCeci Bolger
Bridesmaid
I met Ceci one of the very first days of freshman year, and she immediately became the fun and wild mom of our group! She’s always been the one taking care of everyone, making sure we stay hydrated (and fed!), all while maintaining an endless love for Trader Joe's. Ceci grew up in Spain, and now she lives in Astoria. Ceci brings good energy to everything she does. Additionally, she is a highly accomplished New York State-licensed and ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist. She's a truly amazing mix of caring friend, hostess, and career superstar, and I'm so lucky to have her!
Zach GoldsteinZach Goldstein
Best Man
Zach isn't just Dylan's older brother, he's his first and best friend, and our Best Man! Zach is everything you could want in a brother: loving, caring, and funny, with a great competitive streak (which definitely came out during all those intense wiffleball games they played growing up in their front yard!). They share an unbreakable bond built on years of shared memories and laughter. Zach brings so much warmth and energy to our lives, and we couldn't imagine getting married without him standing right beside us.
Matt KrauseMatt Krause
Groomsman
If you are looking for the life of the party, you’ve found him! Matt Krause is guaranteed to be the first person on the dance floor and the last one to leave. (He will also happily sell and finance you your next Honda, if you're in the market!) Dylan and Matt have a long history; they attended both Calhoun High School and Oswego State University together. In high school, they were wrestling teammates, which meant spending late nights together practicing and hanging out. Matt's hilarious personality ensures that any gathering is instantly a good time. We can't wait to celebrate with him!
Chris JohnsenChris Johnsen
Groomsman
Chris and Dylan have known each other since 6th grade, building a friendship that lasted all the way through middle school, high school, and beyond! They were often found on the wrestling team together, and they even nearly share a birthday, keeping them close friends throughout the years. They spent countless hours bonding over Xbox, but now Chris has officially declared video games "for children" and refuses to play. We’re all hoping Dylan can convince him to pick up a controller again soon! Chris is one of Dylan’s most loyal and cherished friends, and we're so glad he's standing with us.
John EyermanJohn Eyerman
Groomsman
John is one of Dylan's oldest friends, and their bond goes back decades. They are "Firebirds" for life! Growing up, they were always teamed up against John's brother, Rob, and Dylan's brother, Zach, in every neighborhood sport—whether it was wiffleball, football, or basketball. Their childhood was filled with countless sleepovers, manhunt, ding dong ditch, and Fear Factor challenges. Today, John is an incredibly accomplished Lawyer, but he still needs to set aside some time for fun! We're all hoping he finds a break from the courtroom soon so he and Dylan can get back to playing. We’re so honored to have him stand with us.
Rob EyermanRob Eyerman
Groomsman
Rob Eyerman and Dylan share a friendship that defines childhood summers, complete with the best kind of friendly competition. Their days growing up were spent in a perfect loop of fun: jumping in Rob's pool and then refueling with his mom's famous pancakes, over and over and over again. They were teammates for years, playing on various baseball teams together. While their teams might not have always been the best in the league, their friendship always was! Of course, no friendship is complete without a little light rivalry. One unforgettable moment came when Dylan hit a walk-off grand slam against Rob’s Little League team. As Dylan rounded second base, he paused to taunt Rob at shortstop with a victorious “Vlahhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Rob is an essential part of Dylan's history, and we're so happy he'll be sharing this day with us.
Dan ValastroDan Valastro
Groomsman
Dylan and Dan met at SUNY Oswego orientation, and their friendship was cemented instantly by acting like total goofballs! They were inseparable from those first few days, giggling like Beavis and Butthead during all the activities. Their shared sense of humor was legendary, whether they were playing Cards Against Humanity or playing hilarious pranks, like the famous "I'm a pillow" prank on Chris Broccoli. Unlike some of Dylan’s other friends, *cough*, Chris Johnsen, cough, Dan is always ready to game, often just sending a simple text like “who's ripping” or “BF” to get a session started. Dan is an essential friend who always brings the fun (both online and off), and we're so excited to have him celebrate with us.
Anthony FitzsimmonsAnthony Fitzsimmons
Groomsman
Anthony and Dylan's friendship dates back to middle school in Merrick, where they met, along with Anthony's twin brother, Thomas. Their bond really solidified in high school when they were wrestling teammates. Those years were filled with late nights and sleepovers, often spent hanging out for hours in Anthony's mom's garage with the core group that included Chris, Thomas, and Matt Krause—they were truly inseparable! Anthony is a deeply cherished friend from Dylan's history, and we're thrilled he'll be part of our day!
Thomas FitzsimmonsThomas Fitzsimmons
Groomsman
Thomas and Dylan have been close friends since middle school in Merrick. Their bond really took off in high school when they were wrestling teammates. Their high school years were defined by those friendships, spending countless hours hanging out in Thomas's mom's garage with the whole crew—including Anthony, Chris, and Matt Krause—they were truly inseparable! Thomas is a deeply cherished friend from Dylan's history, and we're thrilled he'll be part of our day.
