Wedding Party
Olivia Poust
Maid of Honor
Olivia and Dani met at Le Moyne College. Together, they were scheming new ideas on their wall of sticky notes, surviving Zoom classes, thrifting, and always laughing - all while fueled on diets consisting largely of coffee, crab cakes, spinach artichoke dip, and red wine.
Chris Sugar
Best Man
Chris and John became friends soon after John's move to Oswego in middle school. Over the years, the two have enjoyed hitting the gym together, playing golf, and traveling for Chris' company, D3HockeyNews, both sharing a love for hockey.
Grace McManus
Bridesmaid
What no one ever dreamt of? Being an RA during a global pandemic! Since then, Grace and Dani now share an unbreakable bond that has blossomed with their mutual appreciation for coffee, the outdoors, and a good bonfire. When Grace is not being a #GirlBoss scientist, the two are making elaborate pizzas and scheming a plan for their next double date.
Matthew Mace
Groomsman
Matt and John became friends at young age. Matt is the life of the party and an incredible friend. The pair met playing soccer in elementary school and continued their friendship on the tennis courts in high school where they likely spent more time laughing than actually practicing and have continued to share laughs since.
Shelby Maring
Bridesmaid
Shelby became fast friends with both Dani and John during college, living with Dani for a short period. Shelby stuns a crowd with her kind-heartedness, fun attitude, and incredible dance moves (the cotton-eyed joe is a must). From playing too much Catan during board game nights, a PitBull concert, and all the other adventures, both Dani and John are excited to have Shelby as part of their day.
Ryan Green
Groomsman
Ryan is Dani's brother and between him and John, the two never miss a beat to pick on her when together. John is excited to be gaining him as a brother-in-law. Both love to collect sneakers, listen to music, and share a healthy sense of sarcasm.
Sarah Lippert
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Dani's cousin. The two share many interests including Goodwill Dollar Days, hiking, and a good book. Having been a part of Sarah's special day to her Jon (without an H) earlier this fall, it is incredibly special to have Sarah be a part of Dani’s wedding to her John (with an H).
Anthony DeRosa
Groomsman
Anthony is John's cousin. They share wonderful memories together - some of John’s favorites include skating together on the homemade ice rink for the annual Rice Family Christmas. John vividly remembers the time Anthony and Uncle Phil went over the entire rink on a wild sled ride. Luckily no bones were broken!
Kelly Hurlburt
Bridesmaid
Kelly is Dani's incredibly crafty cousin who excels in every project she tackles. Both share a love for pasta, travel, and adventure. Growing up together, they have memories of spa days with Nana, Bill Gray’s, and shopping days with their moms during school breaks…They spent a LOT of time at the Christmas Tree Shops.
Matteo Pasquato
Groomsman
Matteo and John became friends when Matteo was an exchange student at Oswego High School. The two were on the tennis team together where Matteo was a star on the team. Since then, the two have stayed in touch, getting together whenever Matteo returns to visit the States. John even made a trip to Milan to visit Matteo while in college!
Morgan Baldwin
Flower Girl
Morgan (Moe) became friends with Dani and John in college, introduced through Shelby. Always willing to join for John's love for Game Nights, day adventures for pumpkin carving, or getting together, Morgan is the official "kid" of the crew and it only felt right to have her as the Flower Girl on their special day.
