Wedding Party
Dominique Pagnozzi
Bride
“I’m so excited to be joined with the most beautiful women by my side (my bridesmaids) to marry the love of my life. Our love story is my favorite book, filled with pages of unforgettable moments and cherished memories. I can’t wait to share it with everyone reading this website. 💕🤩 And as we write new chapters together, I look forward to growing old, sitting by your side, and listening to you play guitar, filling our lives with beautiful songs.”
Jane Pagnozzi
Mother of the Bride
“Dominique is my daughter, my heart, and my best friend. From shopping trips and heartfelt talks to celebrating holidays and family traditions, we've shared a bond that's only grown stronger over time. She’s beautiful inside and out — outgoing, intelligent, compassionate, and deeply devoted to the ones she loves. Watching her become the incredible woman she is today has been my greatest joy. Dominique, I love you to the moon and back — always 💞”
Ernie Pagnozzi
Father of the Bride
“From Sunday mornings filled with Frank Sinatra and the smell of something simmering on the stove, to dancing together in the kitchen while learning how to cook, I've cherished every moment watching my little girl grow. I was the first to hold her hand, the first to twirl her around the living room, and now I get the honor of one more dance on her wedding day. She’ll always be my daughter, my pride, and the girl I loved first.”
Jacqueline Chomic
Maid of Honor
“I’m the bride’s best childhood friend—and Jane and Ernie’s other daughter they never had. Basically a Pagnozzi at this point. Dominique and I met in dance class when we were 3 yrs old. So on that note… catch me on the dance floor after a morning of bottomless mimosas.”
Milly Flores
Bridesmaid
“Dominique and I met while working at an outpatient spine surgery center, and we instantly clicked. We bonded over our love of music, dancing, and just being our goofy, fun-loving selves. From the start, I knew she was like a little sister to me—while I was the Jersey girl living in a Florida world, she was right there making everything more fun and feeling like the ’90s never ended. Somewhere along the way, we became the “Flossy Posse,” and the name just stuck. I’m so lucky to be by her side on such a special day.”
Karryn Matthews
Bridesmaid
“Known as the life of the party, unofficial bartender at family events, first on the dance floor, and always ready with a glass of champagne. I’m so excited to celebrate Dominique and Dakota and even more excited that Dominique is officially joining the family (someone give her a medal for putting up with my little brother). Let’s pop the champagne!🍾 “
Rachel Bottass
Bridesmaid
“I’m Dakotas funniest sister, Joey’s mom, and soon to be sister-in-law to the bride. I came for the open bar, the music, and to make sure no one else wears white. If you need a dance partner or a brutally honest opinion, I’m your girl.”
Nicole Elswick
Bridesmaid
“Sister of the bride: Here for the love, the laughter, and most importantly… the party and cake."
Dakota Hodge
Groom
“Marrying you is like finally understanding why all those love songs make people dance in grocery stores. You're the plot twist in my life I didn't see coming but wouldn't trade for anything. Can't wait to start out forever, where I promise to always laugh at your jokes, be there by your side and take care of you when you’re in need. I love you forever.”
Ernie Hancock
Father of the Groom
Bradley Leggett
Best Man
“I was the groom’s first love; you may call me Nighthawk.”
Michael Birren
Groomsman
“I’m a long time friend of Dakota, known him since I was in diapers. We go back, back before he turned into Morgan Wallen.”
Marshall Birren
Groomsman
“I’m Dakotas brotha from anotha motha. Childhood friends turned into life long friends.”
Christopher Conrad
Groomsman
“Brother of the bride and future brother-in-law to the groom. Met Dakota in the Peace corps, he saved my life in Vietman, and helped with my physical rehab after skydiving accident.”
Collin Birren
Groomsman
“From classmates to teammates to friends, we learned that some friends are temporary and some are brothers—and a lifetime with Dakota has proved he’s always been both.”
