Brianna & Curtis
Wedding Party
Christina & Donald McCoy
Parents of the Groom
Tina and Don have loved, supported, and encouraged me in every part of my life. They have raised me and have taught me to be a loving, considerate man, and always encouraged me to chase my passions. They've always been there for me, and I am so grateful to have them in my life - soon to be our lives.
Debra & David Smale
Parents of the Bride
Debra and David Smale are two of the greatest parents a gal could ask for. They have taught me to value family, nature, finding your passion, loyalty, books, adventure, and so much more. I am so grateful for their love and support. They have been so helpful in this wedding process, and I can't wait to celebrate my new life with Curtis with them by our sides!
Steve Jones
Groomsman
Steve is one of Curtis' best friends from growing up in Western NY. Curtis and Steve share a love of motorcycles, tattoos, and biking. While Steve was in automotive school in Cleveland, OH and Curtis was in undergrad in Erie, PA, they used to make frequent trips to visit each other and even have matching tattoos.
Sarah Salvatoriello
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Brianna met many moons ago in Atlanta and haven't been able to get rid of one another since. Even though they haven't lived in the same state, let alone region of the country, for over a decade, they've never let that distance stop them. There have been many visits and shenanigans over the years, and Brianna loves Sarah and her whole family dearly.
Ren Buford
Groomswoman
Ren is one of Curtis' best friends from when he lived in Memphis, TN. They've stayed in good contact ever since Curtis left Memphis and both share a love of geology and archaeology. Ren is one of the most loyal people I know, and couldn't be happier to have her standing by my side.
Laura Stefanik
Bridesmaid
Laura and Brianna met when they both moved into the same building and took jobs at the same school. They've had a few wonderful years of fun both on and off campus. After years of planning Prom together, it's only natural that they'd help one another plan weddings this year instead. Brianna's looking forward to more parallel adventures with Laura in the future!
Natalie Vindivich
Groomswoman
Natalie and Curtis met attending undergrad at Mercyhurst College and have been best friends from the start. Natalie has always been a wanderer who's worked teaching, acting, modeling, giving tour guides in Alaska, working for the Forest Service, and a million other eclectic jobs. Curtis and and Natalie share a love of punk rock, geology, and anthropology and Natalie is currently finishing her Masters in Anthropology at Cal State LA and holds a Bachelors in English Literature.
Laura Waldrep
Bridesmaid
Brianna met Laura in grad school at NC State where they bonded over a love of Jane Austen, Nathaniel Hawthorne, an YA lit. Their friendship has since bloomed through trivia nights, book clubs, and many long-distance phone calls and visits. Laura is one of the sweetest and most genuine people Brianna knows, and she is delighted to have her by her side on her wedding day.
Benjamin Brody Ciola Wiessner
Ring Bearer
Benjamin Brody is the sweetest, most adorable boy you'll ever meet. He loves dinosaurs and is currently very into the field of medicine. He also very much enjoys being pulled around the yard in a wagon by Brianna and Curtis until they're so exhausted that they pass out on his parents' couch.
Vivienne Salvatoriello
Flower Child
Vivienne is Brianna's best friend, just ask Vivienne. Viv and Bri have become dear friends over Brianna's annual spring break visits to Florida. Vivienne is very excited to be a star in the wedding parade (again, you'll have to ask Viv about that one!).
