Devan & Tony
Wedding Party
Laura DePinto
Matron of Honor
Laura and I grew up together in Orlando. We met in 1st grade at The First Academy and were always at each others side throughout our grade school years. She truly is the sister I never had. We both went our separate ways for College (Alabama and FSU). After graduation, Laura moved to Dallas, Texas where she met her husband Nick. They just had a perfectly healthy baby boy on July 29 (who will be in attendance at the wedding)! Dallas has become my second home, and I can’t wait to visit with my new husband to see the baby! I've spent many weekends with Laura, Nick, and their goldendoodle Charlie, and I'm beyond thrilled that she will be standing next to me on the big day! 👯♀️❤️
Taylor Young
Best Man
I met Taylor in middle school at The First Academy and we haven't missed a beat since day one. We both attended the University of Central Florida where Tay played basketball and I was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. Even with our different schedules, we managed to keep our friendship rolling. He now runs an insurance company along side his brother called Erb & Young Insurance. When he's not binding policies he also does the radio for UCF college hoops. Tay is the definition of a Best Man. He is the guy who answers his phone when you call, or the one to pick up the keys if you need a ride. I'm blessed to have a lifelong friend like Taylor and can't wait for him to be next to me in Napa.
Nicole Leveille
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met in 6th grade when our dads joined a bible study together. Even though we only went to school together that year, we maintained a friendship playing sports together and even against each other. We went to different colleges (UF & FSU) and then Nicole went away to PA school. Our parents are best of friends and have even been to Napa together. She and I live together in a cute little house in College Park. Nicole is one of the most supportive, genuine and loving friends I have. When Tony and I got engaged, she came over immediately and had a permanent smile on for 3 hours. She’s just the best. We spend lots of time with our pups, Penny and Palmer 🐶🐶. You can usually find us dining at Armandos🍷during the week and cooking out in our backyard on the weekends.
David Benham
Best Man
Better known as the honorary Patti brother. Dave lives in Brooklyn, NY as a creative director for a small start up company that has grown exponentially since he started there after leaving MTV. Dave is the kind of guy that would drop what he's doing and jump on a plane with a minutes notice. I say this because has done so several times for just about any event to prevent any FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). If there is one word to describe Dave it would be genuine. It is a shame not everyone in the world has a friend or brother like David Benham.
Lauren Leone
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I also met in Kappa Delta at FSU. We were not close in college, but when both of us ended up back in Orlando after graduation, we became room mates and lived together for 2 years in the beloved Pelham house in Orwin Manor. Lauren keeps me grounded, she is adventurous and sharp and always there for me when I need her. Our relationship has turned into more of a sisterhood to me, we give each other tough love - the kind only true friends can. Lauren got married 👰🏼🤵🏼in April to Reed in New Smyrna Beach. Tony and I are looking forward to enjoying the "newly married" life with them. 🍾
Michael Patti
Groomsman
Michael Patti.... oh where to begin. Talk about two completely different people that couldn't be more wired the same inside. If I had a dollar for every time I visited Michael during his 10 years in New York City, I would be a rich man. Our dry and stupid humor is what I would say has brought us so close through the years. Michael is one of the most talented people I have ever seen in his craft behind just about any camera you can find. Michael is newly married as of October and is living just outside of Nashville running his own business as a Director of Photography.
Bre James
Bridesmaid
Bre and I met in Kappa Delta at FSU and instantly became the best of friends our sophomore year. After graduation, Bre moved to Orlando (originally from Rhode Island) and lived here for 5 years. We loved living close to each other; biking and brunching with our pups Sully and Penny who quickly became boyfriend and girlfriend. Bre recently got engaged to the man of her dreams, Kurt! They moved to Santa Monica in June and are starting a new life together on the west coast. I miss her so much, but am looking forward to visiting their CA paradise. Bre is always the life of the party and you'll definitely want to join her on the dance floor. 💃🏼
Nick Patti
Groomsman
Nick is the youngest of the Patti Clan. He may be the youngest, but as the oldest brother, I look up to him in so many ways. We lean on each other for support and wisdom and I know I can always count on him when I need him. Nick played football at UCF and now lives in Jupiter, working in the medical sales industry. The coolest thing about me and Nick's relationship is how similar we are. We have so much in common it blows my mind. I am so proud of the man he has become. Nick is getting married in May and I can’t wait to stand by his side!
Katherine Carlin
Bridesmaid
Katherine (Kathy, Katie, etc.) met in college in Kappa Delta. We hit it off and she actually is my "little" - but we never liked that term since we were just great friends💃🏼. Kathy is the type of friend that whenever we see each other or catch up, it's like no time has passed and we pick up right where we left off! I wish she lived closer because she is a bundle of fun. Having her here on my special day is a gift. 🤗
David Pieronowski
Groomsman
My Sigma Chi Brethren from UCF. We rushed together in Fall 2008. I think we played more rounds of golf in 2017 then days we worked. Due to us both having an extremely flexible work schedule, we have spent a ton of time together all over the world. To name just a few.... Bahamas, Costa Rica, New York, Michigan, Mexico and the list goes on. Dave works for Signature Wealth Advisers as a financial adviser. Over the past few years he has helped grow their small firm into one of the larger financial firms in Florida.
Christin Lewis
Bridesmaid
Christin is Tony’s older sister. Growing up in the TFA/Orlando bubble, I had always felt like I knew Christin through social media and through some mutual friends. When Tony and I started dating however, she quickly became one of my best friends. Her and her husband, Tom have three beautiful girls (Ella Grace, and the twins: Linley and Wesley) whom Tony and I adore👧🏼🎀🎀. While Christin is super busy these days with the girls, she is on the fast track to becoming the newest blogger on the block💁🏼♀️. There's a lot of excitement at her house and she shares it on Instagram. Her stories keep me laughing and sometimes crying. Give her follow @Christin.Lewis or check out her blog - www.wineglassesandwipinasses.com.
Austin Riddick
Groomsman
One of my newest friends in the bunch that will be next to me during the wedding. Over the past few years we have become great friends, and traveled to some very cool places together with the boys. I think Austin may be the reason I think I am funny because of how hard he laughs at some of the outrageous exaggerations I can be known to say. Austin also played Basketball at Auburn and as many of you know for some reason I am drawn to fellow Tiger fans. WDE. Austin works for Evercore ISI, which is one of the leading financial research firms in the country.
Megan Grennan
Bridesmaid
Megan is also an FSU grad but we didn't know each other in college. We met a couple of years ago when she moved back to Orlando from Delray Beach. We clicked instantly and we became roommates in the Pelham house for the last year that I lived there. Fast forward – she had a baby girl (Amelia)🤱🏻and we both are engaged 💍! It has been such a fun year celebrating special milestones together.
John Alexander
Groomsman
Sports!! John was given the nickname "Sports" because even though he isn't a fan of them, he would always include himself when we would attend events with our friend group including a bucket-lister - The Masters. Deep down I know how much he really just enjoys watching Me, Dave and Austin scream at the players for multiple hours and make fools of ourselves cheering. John works for a start up software company called Sho Flo which ironically specializes in event planning software and some of his biggest clients are professional sports teams.
Elizabeth Patti
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth (Elle) is Tony's younger brother, Michael's, wife! I have known Michael since the 3rd grade at TFA. Such a small world huh! Elle and Michael got married in October 2018, and now live in Franklin, TN. Even with the distance, it's been so great getting to know Elle and re-connecting with Michael. Elle was so welcoming to Tony and I when we first started dating, and she has been a constant source of support for us. I'm so thrilled to be gaining such a top notch sister-in-law. ❤️
Tom Lewis
Groomsman
My brother from another mother. God couldn't have sent my sister a better soul mate. They met post grad while traveling back to Auburn University for a game and the rest is history. They are now are the proud parents of my 3 year old niece, Ella Grace and newly introduced identical twins Linley and Wesley in November of 2018. Tom grew up in Eufaula, Alabama about an hour south of Auburn (ironically where Devan’s pop-pop, uncle and cousins live). He works in real estate at Lake Nona Country Club. He is known for his quick whited personality and most importantly for his dance moves, so keep an eye out for this fool on the dance floor.
Taylor Patti
Bridesmaid
Taylor and I have known each other since I was in Kindergarten! Her sister, Katie and I were best friends growing up. We all went to TFA together (Taylor, Nick, Tony, Christin and I all went to TFA). It's been so much fun re-connecting and getting closer to Taylor and Nick! I never thought that we'd be sister-in-laws one day! They live in Jupiter, FL (heaven) 🌴...Tony and I love getting away to their paradise!
Zach Vandergrift
Groomsman
The biggest Eagles fan I know (Go Birds). Really looking forward to adding another brother to the arsenal, but it’s tough adding one that's better than me at golf. Zach played baseball at High Point University. He is currently a financial adviser working in Tampa for Ameriprise Financial. One characteristic that stands out to me about Zach is his loyalty to his family. I know how great of a brother, friend and protector he has been to Devan over the years. I look forward to having that loyalty by our side at our wedding and through the future chapters as our family grows.
