Wedding Party

Nicole Deane

Bride

Steven Schoch

Groom

Samantha DiChiara

Maid of Honor

Sam and I have been best friends since high school! We were inseparable, every weekend we would make Mexican dip and watch trashy tv. Even in college I’d come to visit Sam as much as possible and we’d make sure to get to Ned Devine’s before the cover! Don’t worry, we’ve also brought the fun to Vegas, our main motivation to see Celine Dion live! I’ve always known she was the one I wanted by my side on my big day!

Bryant Parra

Best Man

My Big Brother at Sigma Tau Gamma at Penn State.

Amanda Anderson

Bridesmaid

Amanda and I started out as work besties, we spend most of our time together causing trouble in the Operating Room. Our lockers are right next to each other and we often come to work in matching outfits, more than usual work wives do! Over the last five years we’ve become life besties too and I can’t imagine tying the knot without her!

Nicholas Booth

Groomsman

Nick and I pledged together for Sigma Tau Gamma at Penn State.

Julia Deane

Bridesmaid

Julia is my first baby cousin and our relationship started off a little rocky…she would always look so cute like she was coming in for a kiss and then I’d let out this screech because she was actually biting me. I’m hoping I get a real kiss on my wedding day. Even if I do get a bite instead, it would be worth it! I couldn’t take the plunge without her!

Christopher Nordan

Groomsman

College friend and Frat brother from Sigma Tau Gamma at Penn State.

Hannah Deane

Bridesmaid

Hannah and Julia are sisters, and I’ve always considered them to be my sisters as well. So much so that I would beg my parents to let me stay an extra week on the cape with them so we’d have extra time together. Hannah has grown up into a beautiful young woman and has such a unique style of her own and it makes me think of her as the “cool sister”…I hope I’m as cool as Hannah as I’m walking down the aisle!

Anthony Vaccarino

Groomsman

You guessed it, we met at Penn State and were frat brothers at Sigma Tau Gamma.

Lauren Longo

Bridesmaid

Lauren, my seesta! Lauren is the youngest of my girl cousins and I always wanted a sister. For a long period of time she really believed we were siblings. And I have to have my seesta there when I walk down the aisle!

Brendan Kelly

Groomsman

You must be sensing a theme by now, Brendan and I met at Penn State and both were part of Sigma Tau Gamma.

Dale Deane

Tom Marchant

Officiant

Tom is a family friend who is also the Deacon at Saint Anthony’s. My Nana and Papa, my parents, and both my aunts and uncles were married at Saint Anthony’s so many years ago! It’s so special to be able to continue the tradition!
