Wedding Party
James Norfolk
Best Man
James is absolutely the right man for the best man job for me. He's been a great friend despite being separated by land and sea, and honestly, he's Josie's fiercest competition for my attention. Unfortunately, James will not be able to attend due to country travel restrictions. His presence will be sorely missed, and we look forward to seeing him as soon as we can!
Sarah Sambolic
Maid of Honor
The chip... The most epic chip! Sarahsam has been an amazing friend to me and some of my best support since I met her. This wedding wouldn’t be the same without her by my side. Thank you so much, grandmotha!
Cal Hunter
Groomsman
Cal is probably one of the most talented creators I know. An author, a musician, an actor, and a fierce motivator, I'm glad to have had him as a roommate and am excited for him to make a return to the States!
Natalie Bartels
Bridesmaid
I truly would not be the same without this amount of Oscar Wilde in my brain; thank you for the needed injections of literature and organ trivia into my life both during CUI and out of it.
Henry Raimi
Groomsman
Henry Raimi. Man of mystery. Of Intrigue. The third wheel of my great American road trips. He also looks great in a suit. I'm glad to have him on board my wedding party but remember, Mr. Raimi, with great power comes great responsibility!
Megan Johnston
Bridesmaid
What can I say? It's been a wild ride for sure, but I know that you're the sparkly Sailor Moon chip dip that'll never let me down. Thank you for being there for me with good discussions and fun things!
Andrew Gates
Groomsman
My roommate for my latter two years of college and the anchor that helps keep our friend group together. I can always count on Andrew to help organize a good time, and it would feel strange having my wedding without him.
Leslie Garcia
Bridesmaid
Thanks to Dom for introducing us to be friends; I'm very thankful to Leslie for backing me up on my side of the altar with her enthusiasm!
Igor Chiasso
Groomsman
As part of my effort to spice up my wedding party further, Igor is the Brazilian component. Not exactly sure why a Brazilian component is necessary but I'll trust him to give me a good reason. A great friend, and I'm excited to see him again soon! Unfortunately, Igor will not be able to attend due to country travel restrictions. Ethan will be filling in for him in the wedding party. We look forward to seeing him as soon as we can!
Katie Young
Bridesmaid
Katie's possibly one of the most patient people I know, but why did you have to wait so long to tell me about Buc-ee's? She'll certainly bring some Texan flair to the occasion!
Taylor Glatt
Groomsman
Tglatt! We joked that we ought to put each other's names on our degrees, because we probably wouldn't have graduated without each other. Sure we were frequently distracted from our projects, be it food, fires, or falling asleep, but there's no doubt it would have been 100 times more stressful without this dude. He's also really good at making mixed drinks!
Gretchen Otte
Bridesmaid
Thanks to Gretchen for great literature and Kingdom Hearts discussions, the occasional lift with your car William, and the honor of being able to carry on Sound of Mind poetry club for as long as I could! It’s been a great pleasure to know her and her family.
Ethan Sayers
Groomsman
You get to know a lot about a man who lives on your couch for a quarter or two. Quarter being a period of time there, not a unit of money. Though the unit of money works well too. That's not to say he didn't earn his spot on that couch. Ethan's always been a good friend, there to help and listen, and he's probably the most excited person to see us get married besides ourselves. I'm sorry I had to limit my groomsman party initially, but I am very happy to welcome him officially to the wedding party as a groomsman now!
Kevin Martinez
Groomsman
Kevin is a baffling bro, an enigmatic hombre, and an amazing amigo. As a real driver of a guy, Kevin's always willing to jump in to something new with the gang. That's why I knew I could count on him when Uncle Joe said my Best man can't come because of some trapezoidal variant or something. Thanks to Kevin for being a real one!
Michael DiCesare
Father of the Groom
Old Man! Soon I'm going to be the old man. But for now, I'll just keep going to him for help every time I need it. And boy do I need it! Without him I wouldn't have been able to buy a car, a house, and keep my finances in order! He's an amazing father and I hope I do him proud.
Christy DiCesare
Mother of the Groom
All of the things my Dad doesn't help me with, my Mom does. I know if I have any kind of ailment I can message her and she'll rattle off a list of fixes to try. If I'm hungry I can expect a few recipes thrown my way (though I'm arguably the better cook now). I also have to thank my nerdiness almost entirely on her, so thanks Mom!
John Thompson
Father of the Bride
I’m still impressed by your patience that you went through all of pre-college math with me. Thank you, Dad, for putting your absolute best towards raising me and setting me on a path towards success in all forms. I love you!
Teresa Thompson
Mother of the Bride
I wouldn’t have such a handle on my time management, awareness, learning, or work ethic without your help. Thank you for raising me to be the best version of myself that I can be, Mom. I love you!
Daniel Reardon
Groomsman
Danny ironically became closer to me after we both graduated rather than before, and the time we've spent on double dates (primarily playing board games) has been some of the most fun I've been able to have outside of the structured environment of school. Every time we would leave, I would always say to Josie "this feels like we're proper adults, hanging out with our friends, having a drink or two." With Danny, I definitely feel like I have a friend for life. Unfortunately, Daniel will not be able to attend. We look forward to seeing him as soon as we can!
Somer Corbett
Bridesmaid
Thanks to Dom for introducing us as well. Somer’s a great person to discuss stuff with, and playing games with her, Danny, and Dom is always great! Unfortunately, Somer will not be able to attend. We look forward to seeing her as soon as we can!
