Wedding Party
Natalie DeNicola
Maid of Honor
My little sister has always been my built-in best friend and greatest source of strength - and I’ve always been her fierce protector, sometimes to a fault. From childhood to now, we’ve shared tears, triumphs, and all the little moments in between that shaped who we are. I’ve always felt this deep need to keep her safe, and she’s always been my biggest cheerleader. Our bond is rooted in loyalty and unconditional love—the kind that only deepens with time. As I step into this next chapter, there’s no one I’d want by my side more. With a lifetime of memories, laughter, and love between us, having her as my Maid of Honor feels not just right -it feels like home.
Andrew Ortolani
Best Man
Andrew’s my cousin by blood and my best friend by choice. He’s been there through every chapter -from our childhood adventures to football debates and game nights. Our bond is built on loyalty, laughs, and that kind of brotherhood you just don’t have to explain. No matter the highs or lows, he’s always shown up - offering strength when I’ve needed it, humor when I didn’t expect it, and a friendship I’ve never had to question. Whether we’re cracking jokes or backing each other up when it matters most, that connection has never wavered. Having Andrew as my Best Man isn’t just a title - it’s a reflection of a bond that’s meant everything to me.
Deanna Pagliaro
Bridesmaid
Deanna is more than a friend - she’s family. What started through our moms’ lifelong friendship has grown into a sister-like bond filled with laughter, love, and memories that stretch from Winterclove to Disney. I’ve always treasured her humor, her huge heart, and the way she can bring joy to any moment. One of my favorite memories is telling her about my engagement and seeing her tear up outside a college bar - such a real, beautiful moment that says everything about the love we share. Her loyalty and friendship are one of a kind, and having her by my side for something this meaningful means the world to me.
Frankie Verderame
Best Man
Frankie and I have that kind of bond only brothers really get. We might not talk every day, but there’s always been this unspoken connection - built on loyalty, shared history, and a ton of respect. I’ve always been proud of who he is and the kind of relationship we’ve built over the years. What started as just being brothers has grown into something even deeper. Having him as my Co-Best Man isn’t just because it makes sense -it’s because it means something. It’s a nod to a lifelong connection that’s always been there and always will be.
Angela Perrone
Bridesmaid
Angela and I first connected over a simple message about a TV show, and it quickly turned into something so much more. During quarantine, she became one of my daily lifelines - bringing light, laughter, and a sense of connection when everything felt uncertain. From endless virtual chats to our unforgettable Boston trip, our friendship has always been full of joy, depth, and a kind of understanding that’s hard to come by. She’s the kind of friend who makes even the most ordinary moments feel special. Having her by my side is such a gift - a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most unexpected connections turn into the most treasured friendships.
Sean Carmody
Groomsman
As Natalie’s boyfriend, Sean’s become a real part of the family. He brings a ton of energy, a great sense of humor, and just has this way of making every get-together more fun. We’ve built this hilarious bromance -full of dumb inside jokes, ridiculous hugs, and plenty of chaos. But under all the laughs, there’s a solid bond based on loyalty and respect. He’s always shown up when it counts, and I’m really glad he’s standing with me on this day. He’s more than just a groomsman -he’s family, and I wouldn’t want to do this without him.
Ashley Lov
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met in college, and our friendship has only grown stronger with time -even with thousands of miles between us. Whether we were side-by-side at graduation or cheering each other on from across the country, our connection has always felt easy and real. I’ll never forget her reaction to my engagement—pure, joyful, and completely unfiltered. That’s just who she is: loyal, present, and full of heart. From late-night study sessions to wedding planning chats, she’s been there through it all, and I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side.
Anthony Chiusano
Groomsman
Anthony’s my stepbrother, but more than that, he’s become a real part of my world. Over the years, our bond has just come together naturally - built on shared experiences, mutual respect, and a kind of unspoken understanding. He’s got this way of making everyone around him feel at ease, and his ability to bring people together is something I’ve always admired. I’m proud to call him both family and a friend. Having him stand beside me on this day isn’t just about family - it’s about the steady, solid connection we’ve built over time, and how much it means to me.
Brianna (Cotty) Pereira
Bridesmaid
Brianna and I have been in each other’s lives since third grade, growing up side by side through every chapter. Our friendship is built on years of laughter, loyalty, and the kind of deep understanding that only time can create. We’ve been there for each other through every milestone, heartache, and celebration—always just a glance away. From junior prom to watching her fall in love, I’ve cherished every part of our journey together. Having her by my side on this day feels like bringing a piece of my childhood into the future, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Michael Cotty
Groomsman
Michael is that rare kind of friend who belongs to both of us - an unexpected connection that became a lasting part of our story. What started through mutual friends turned into a friendship built on trust, loyalty, and a lot of good laughs. He’s been a steady presence through it all, always showing up in the right ways. Grace still jokes about junior prom, and I’m proud to have him standing with me on this day. His role in our lives may be a quiet one, but it’s meaningful - and having him here feels exactly right.
Marley Schultz
Bridesmaid
Marley and I share a bond that feels more like family than friendship. Even though we grew up in different states, we’ve always been a constant in each other’s lives - picking up right where we left off every time. Whether we’re watching trash TV or having deep, honest talks, our connection is full of humor, heart, and total trust. Some of my favorite memories are from her brother’s wedding, singing and laughing into the early hours. Our bond has never wavered, and having her by my side for this unforgettable moment means the world to me.
Bobby Healy
Groomsman
Bobby and I have the kind of friendship that just feels easy - full of laughs, ridiculous inside jokes, and hours-long conversations about everything and nothing. But behind all the humor is a real sense of loyalty and connection. He’s always shown up when it’s counted, usually with a funny story or a quick check-in that ends up meaning more than he probably realizes. I’ve always valued our friendship not just for the good times, but for the heart behind it. Having him stand beside me is a reflection of the trust, laughs, and solid friendship we’ve built over the years.
Rachel Marotto
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I became best friends back in middle school, bonding over Girl Scouts, cookie fails, and the everyday chaos of growing up. What started as shared giggles turned into a friendship deeply rooted in support, trust, and joy. From surprise college visits to heart-to-hearts that stretch for hours, we’ve weathered life’s changes together - with plenty of grace and laughter. Rachel is the kind of friend who always shows up, no matter what. I’m so grateful for her loyalty, her spirit, and the way she makes life feel a little lighter. Having her by my side is truly an honor.
Thomas Hussey
Groomsman
Tom and I have the kind of friendship where we don’t even have to say anything - we just get each other. From the start, our bond clicked, and it’s only grown stronger through shared trips, football debates, and way too many unforgettable adventures. One of my favorite things about him is how he always manages to wander off and come back with the most ridiculous stories - somehow making every moment more fun. Our connection is one-of-a-kind, and having him in the wedding isn’t just about tradition - it’s about honoring a friendship that’s brought a whole lot of laughter and meaning into my life.
Vita Verderame
Bridesmaid
Vita may be my future sister-in-law, but more importantly, she’s one of my closest friends. Our bond grew over shared interests - Marvel marathons, book recs, and endless Bachelor debates - and it really deepened during the time we spent together after Vincent moved away. What we’ve built is a friendship full of laughter, honesty, and memories I’ll always treasure - like our hilariously unforgettable night in Vero Beach. I’m so thankful for her kindness, her humor, and everything she brings into my life. Standing together on this day feels like the start of a sisterhood that already means so much.
Sandro Pereria
Groomsman
Sandro might be Brianna’s husband, but he’s also one of my closest friends. Over the years, our friendship has grown into something real - built on mutual respect, shared values, and the kind of moments that stick with you. I was proud to stand by his side on his wedding day, and now it means a lot to have him standing by mine. Our bond is a reminder that sometimes family and friendship end up being one and the same, and I’m genuinely grateful to have Sandro in my life and as part of this celebration.
Diane DeNicola
Mother of the Bride
Diane isn’t just my mom - she’s my best friend, my sounding board, my therapist, and my biggest supporter all in one. She’s the person I talk to 25/8, the first call I make whether it’s good news, bad news, or just something random I need to share. From late-night talks and nonstop laughter to the moments when only a mother’s love could make things better, we’ve been inseparable through every chapter of my life. I truly believe we’re two halves of the same person - so in sync in a way that feels rare and incredibly special. Her love, her wisdom, and her steady support have shaped who I am. No one understands my heart the way she does, and nothing feels more like home than being with her. She’s been my rock through it all, and this day simply wouldn’t be complete without her right there beside me -just like she always has been, and always will be.
Scott DeNicola
Father of the Bride
My dad is the one who taught me what hard work, dedication, and unconditional love really look like. He’s been my hero for as long as I can remember - always showing up for every dance recital, tennis match, and those countless weekend practices. Our Wednesday lunch dates during my senior year are a tradition I’ll always hold close, just like the memories of him patiently teaching me to ride a bike - and later, to drive - in the very same parking lot. I’ve always looked up to my dad - for his strength, his quiet wisdom, and the way he’s supported me through every season of life. His steady presence has given me the confidence to chase my dreams and truly believe in myself. Walking down the aisle with him will be one of the most meaningful, emotional moments of my life. He’s the best guy I know (besides Vincent, of course!), and I’ll forever be proud, grateful, and so lucky to call him my dad.
Rosalie Chiusano
Mother of the Groom
My mom has always been the backbone of my life. No matter what challenges came our way growing up, she stood strong - confident, steady, and fiercely devoted. She gave everything to make sure we had what we needed, never letting us question how deeply we were loved. I know without a doubt that the man I am today - the one standing proudly beside Grace - is because of her. Her strength, wisdom, and unconditional love shaped every part of who I’ve become. And even now, no matter how old I get, I’ll still admit (begrudgingly) that, more often than not, she was right all along. I could never ask for a better mom, and I feel unbelievably lucky and proud to have her by my side - not just today, but every day.
Thomas Chiusano
(Step)Father of the Groom
Tommy came into my life and filled a role that not many people could. As a stepfather, he didn’t just bring happiness into my mom’s life - he became a real and steady presence in mine. He’s been there for half my life now, and in that time, he’s become someone I look up to with genuine respect. His quiet strength, sharp wit, and thoughtful guidance have been there through so many important moments. He’s taught me a lot - about resilience, about witty jokes, and about how to love with intention. I’m beyond grateful for everything he’s given me, and I’m proud to call him family. Having him by my side for this day, and for so many others, means more than words can say.
Peter Ortolani
Ring Bearer
Peter holds such a special place in our hearts. As Andrew’s son, he’s been part of our story from the very beginning - a little light who’s grown right alongside our love. Whether it’s through sweet FaceTime calls or visits filled with giggles, we’ve loved watching him grow into the bright, funny, and lovable kid he is today. Grace melts every time he smiles, and Vincent brags about him to just about everyone like the proud uncle he is. Having Peter as our ring bearer is more than just a cute moment - it’s a celebration of the love we share with his whole family. P.S. He may be three now, but that photo still makes us laugh - Grace held him for 20 minutes with no tears… the second Vincent took over? Instant meltdown.
Bobby Ingraselino
Officiant
Bobby J has always been like a brother to Grace - countless Christmases, years of memories, and a bond that’s felt like family from the start. So when it came time to choose someone to officiate our wedding, it was an easy choice. From the moment Bobby and Vincent met, they clicked instantly—bonding over soccer, jokes, and feeling like old friends. We knew we wanted someone who truly knows us to lead our ceremony, someone who understands our hearts and our story, and Bobby J was the perfect fit. When we asked him, his reaction was everything - happy tears, big hugs, and one of the most emotional moments of this whole journey. It’s something we’ll always remember and cherish.
Dominic Chiusano
Usher
Dominic is Vincent’s stepbrother and has been a meaningful part of his life for many years. Their bond has always had its own rhythm - quiet, steady, and full of mutual respect. Over time, that connection has only grown stronger. We’re so grateful to have Dominic helping welcome our loved ones on such a special day. His presence means the world to us, and having him be part of this celebration brings even more heart to the day.
Aruba 'Kids'
Flower Men & Usherettes
Gabriella and Gianna will be our wonderful usherettes, and Nicholas, Stephen, and Ryan will be stepping into the spotlight as our amazing flower men! These five mean the world to us - each one has played such a special role in our lives, bringing love, laughter, and unforgettable memories along the way. Our wedding day simply wouldn’t feel complete without them by our side.
