Maid of Honor
Carli earned the title of Maid of Honor, and truly, I knew from the very beginning she was made for this role. We’ve been best friends for over 20 years, and in that time she has proven again and again just how loyal and devoted she is. This girl can plan a party and host like no other... honestly, she hosts and carries herself like a Real Housewife of New Jersey, and I wouldn't change that for the world! Carli is strong, an incredible and loyal friend, and a natural-born leader. We’ve been through so many changes in different seasons of life, but I always knew she would be a constant. Her goofy spirit, fearless authenticity, and unwavering commitment to being the most amazing friend are just a few of the reasons I knew my choice was solid. I’m so lucky to have her by my side not just on this day, but through every chapter of life!

Lexy and I met on Facebook before our freshman year of college through the Stockton group while searching for roommates. Who knew that one friend request would turn into years of love, friendship, and being part of each other’s most important life chapters, ultimately earning the title of forever roommate. We basically share a brain... we just get each other, knowing what the other needs before a word is said. We get unbelievably silly together, laugh until it hurts, and share so much joy in the little and big moments alike. Lexy is kind, tenacious, and always leads with love. I’m so grateful for the bond we’ve built and for all the memories we’ve shared, and I can’t wait to tear up the dance floor together, just like we did on Saturday nights at Mountain Bar!
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met in college and were roommates for a semester, and that short time quickly grew into a lifelong friendship that I am so honored to celebrate with her as part of my bridal party. She is the incredible mom to our flower girl, Hallie, who shines just as brightly as her. Emily is funny, compassionate, driven, and an amazing chef and baker. I have truly never met someone who can take a handful of random ingredients and turn them into the coziest, most delicious meal, it’s a real talent. I couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her or her sweet girl by my side!
Bridesmaid
Alexa and I met before I was even born... She is my older cousin and has just always been a part of my life. Some of my very best memories include her, and I can honestly say I’ve never met anyone who can keep up with pop culture quite like she can, always knowing the trendiest things happening. She is sweet, strong, and over the past 30 years has been not just my cousin, but a true friend. I’m so grateful to have her by my side on our wedding day!
Bridesmaid
Grace met me during the most challenging year of my life and somehow made that season feel so light. She has spent over 20 years with me, from creating silly dances to perform in front of our families, to her beautiful son, Luca, our ring bearer, being part of our big day. From long walks on the seaside boardwalk to now walking alongside me down the aisle. Grace has shown nothing but strength, resilience, love, and light. I’ve watched her become the most amazing mother and had the joy of witnessing her effortlessly embrace this role while balancing everything with grace (no pun intended, maybe). It has been such an honor to be a part of this journey. Maybe we’ll have to sneak a Skrillex song into the playlist for old time’s sake!
Bridesmaid
Alissa, my bridesmaid, and I met in middle school when we decided to sit together on the bus, and the rest is history. Over the years, we’ve shared so many wonderful memories, from watching LMN movies, cooking healthy meals together, exploring the best coffee shops, to just being always up for anything together. I’ve had the joy of watching her become an incredible nurse, sharing her love and kindness with people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, all while handling it with grace and heart. I can’t wait to hit the dance floor and celebrate just like we used to back in the Spicy's days. I truly can’t imagine my wedding day without her by my side!
Officiant
My most honorable part of my wedding party is my officiant, Aunt Linda. Where do I even begin? She has been a constant in my life, stepping into an incredibly important role after I lost my mom. She rose to the occasion, going above and beyond to ensure I always had a strong, positive woman to look up to. Aunt Linda helped me find my first confirmation dress, my first formal dress, my prom dress, and now my wedding dress. That just shows how many wonderful years we’ve shared and how deeply she has been a part of my life. When it came to choosing my officiant, there was no question... she carried me through so many seasons of life, and it only felt right for her to guide us as we step into married life together!
