Devon & Roman
Wedding Party
Kelsey (Kelso) White
Maid of Honor
Kelso ,as you’ll hear the bride call her, has been Devon’s best friend and soul sister for over 15 years. She has been with Devon through some of the hardest times of her life and now gets to stand by her for the happiest. Devon would be lost without her and cherishes the friendship. Roman quickly realized you don’t get one without the other when Kelso was the third wheel on many dates.
Dania Bensharood-Wozniak
Bridesmaid
Dania and Devon became best friends during the bride’s senior year of high school over 10 years ago. Dania helped Devon keep her sanity through senior year when she lost her dad which shows how deep their friendship was from the beginning. Devon introduced Dania to music festivals which helped her later meet her now husband. Fun fact: Dania knew Roman before the bride!
Haley Burke
Bridesmaid
Haley is a best friend of the bride who she met through her husband & Roman’s groomsman, Michael Burke over 8 years ago. Haley and Devon clicked instantly and it was as if they’d been friends for years since the beginning. Devon and Roman got to stand up by Haley & Michael on their wedding day just a few months ago. No matter the time or distance that gets put between Devon and Haley, they always pick up right where they left off as true friends do.
Christina Lizzoli-Glover
Bridesmaid
Christina is Devon’s older sister she’s closest to in age. Although, they fought the most as kids and teens, they’ve become a lot closer with age and as life has happened to them. They loved living under the same roof as adults and bonding over wine & trash tv. Devon’s very grateful they grew up and realized they can be friends and not just sisters. Christina and Devon even have the same phrase tattooed as each other in memory of their father.
Sarah Lizzoli
Bridesmaid
Sarah is in the middle of Devon’s older sisters but she has always been the one Devon felt closest too. It always came easy for Devon to go to Sarah to talk, vent, or seek advice. Sarah is the “connector’ between Devon and her other sisters by being the only one they all kind of look similar to. Sarah is also the reason the bride’s hair looks so good, definitely pays off having a talented sister!
Jessica (Lizzoli) Peters
Bridesmaid
Jessica is Devon’s oldest sister who has always looked out for her and is the reason Devon loves early 2000’s rap. Jessica blessed the bride with 3 incredible nieces- Kinley (9), Kaycie (7), and Kylee (1.5). Jessica and her husband bring the girls to Chicago every year for a visit and the bride looks forward to it more than anything. Jessica was also the first sister know about Roman’s plan to propose and even held onto the ring for him!
Michael Tang
Best Man
Michael and Roman were bound to meet being in a high school graduating class of only 6 people. Over the last 15 years and counting. Michael has not only helped Roman through his struggles but was always there for his family as well. This is why the groom considers him family.
John Lipari
Best Man
John and Roman met over 7 years ago at work and quickly became best friends. Through many adventures John became Roman’s brother from another mother. This brotherhood came after a fun night out with lots of drinks; John told Roman he’d take a bullet for him. As if just being best friends and brothers wasn’t enough, John and the groom also became business partners.
Michael Burke
Groomsman
Michael and Roman met while struggling through an accelerated German Freshman class at Rollins College. After working on a project together and making sure each other survived the class they realized they had a real friendship. After life separated them for a bit, fate brought them back together when Michael ended up moving just a mile down the road from Roman and they reconnected. Roman was Michael’s groomsman just a few months ago.
Dietrich Dernowski
Groomsman
Dietrich is Roman’s actual younger brother as the last name shows and he’s someone the groom holds very dear to him. Being brothers, they’ve been through more than many could imagine but have always prevailed through the lows and came out stronger. The groom couldn’t ask for a better person to be his brother.
TJ Wiler
Groomsman
TJ and Roman have been through more mud and dirt than any of the other groomsmen, literally! They met almost 15 years ago through their love of lifted trucks and the desire to make them dirty. The number of wild stories they could tell between them is endless. They share a love and passion for music and always go to each other for advice.
James Domenella
Groomsman
James and Roman met on their first day at work when they were forgotten about. You could say it’s bad management but Roman and James saw it as fate. James has not only been a great friend but a mentor as well. Throughout the last 7 years, it became clear to Roman that James was one of the best friends one could ask for. The first time Roman was ever in a wedding was when he stood by James in his wedding.
