Christina & Andrew
Wedding Party
Richard Mulvihill
Best Man
I have known Andrew since we were around 7 years old! Andrew is my bestie and my brother from another mother. From the day we made a fort and played pick up sticks I knew it was love at first sight haha. However, for some unknown reason we actually didn’t become best friends until right after high school and we’ve never been apart since! Then enter Christina. Andrews true love who captured his heart quickly and shortly after captured all of ours as well! I could tell instantly how perfect they were together and knew he found the one he would eventually call his wife. I love them so very much and I can’t wait until the wedding day!!! I’ll save the goods for the speech 😉

I’m Christina's youngest and only baby sister. I knew Andrew before they started dating because he used to work at the Starbucks my mom and I used to go to all the time (Christina worked there too). I remember when Christina first started talking to Andrew, it was quarantine and we were both laying in my bed. She told me she started talking to everyone in her contacts one of them being Andrew. Next thing I knew I was walking past her room every night and the biggest smile was beaming on her face while she was video chatting him while watching movies on Netflix. I could tell by her smile that she had found the one. So happy for them both and excited to have Andrew officially a part of the family!

Best Man
Hellooo everyone I’m Zach! I’m Andrew’s younger brother and the talker in family. I’ve known Andrew all my dang life. As most brothers are we grew up as a combination of bitter rivals and partners in crime. Whether we were digging holes to China in the desert, nearly burning the house down, clenching our muscles till we nearly passed out trying to go Super Saiyan; or breaking each others legos and stealing stuff from one another. That all being said Andrew has always been one of the kindest and best people I know and as an older brother he always let his annoying, shy younger brother hang out with him and his friends. Many of whom became some of my closest friends as well. He has a knack for meeting great people, and Christina is no exception. When I met Christina I immediately liked her and knew they are a great fit, she brings out the best in him; and has such a bright, fun and kind personality that I will be very happy to call her my sister soon enough!

It pains me to write this because it means that Christina has finally decided to marry Andrew… instead of me. LOL All jokes aside, Christina and I met at an ASU Teacher’s College orientation in the spring of 2018. We accidentally ended up having every single ASU class together and grew closer and closer. Since graduating together from ASU, Christina and I have been INSEPARABLE - well, sort of (if inseparable means getting to see your BFF everyday at work). I literally would not be able to get through any day without her contagious laugh and hilarious jokes. Needless to say, Christina puts the BEST in being my best friend and I’m glad that we met 4 years ago. Andrew is everything that I could have ever wanted for Christina and more! He makes her the happiest I have ever seen her, and the love that they share for each other is inspiring. I feel so grateful that I get to join both Christina and Andrew on this adventure of LOVE! LET’S GET YOU MARRIED!

Christina and Andrew... It is quite difficult to put into words just how amazing they are and how important they are to me. I have known Christina ever since she allowed Andrew to date her. She instantly made him the happiest man on the planet and it is easy to know why. Her sincere kindness, joyous heart, and radiant smile are contagious and magnetic to all that know her. In a short time she has become a dear friend. Thank you Christina for making Andrew and all of us so happy and feel so loved. The story of Andrew and I started in highschool. Through many years, ups, and downs...Andrew has been a source of solitude, stability, and reliability in my life. Due to his patience and kind-heart, our friendship has progressed and evolved into more of a brotherhood. Thank you Andrew for never giving up on me. Christina and Andrew, I am so happy you two are getting married. Thank you for being part of my life. I am immensely grateful and fortunate to call you my friends

Andrew is my husband’s best friend. I met him 6 years ago, and thought he was was such an easy person to love! He’s so sweet, caring, and quick to laugh. My husband and I worried about who he would end up choosing to spend his life with, and hoped he would find someone deserving of his love. When Christina came into his life, our worries went away and our hopes became reality. Not only was she perfect for Andrew in every way, she was perfect for us. We immediately loved her. And I found a new, amazing, kind, warm, strong and beautiful friend in her. I feel blessed to have had the chance to watch the magic of soulmates finding each other, and to watch two naturally wonderful people grow happier and more in love every day that they’re together!

I’ve known Christina since the early days of 8th grade. Together, our group of friends formed the “Nerd Herd”, one of the toughest groups a middle school had ever seen. Our friendship started off slowly but little did I know it would become one of the greatest friendships I could ask for that introduced me to some of my best friends. Over the years, Christina’s friendship had gotten me through a lot of tough times because I knew she’d always be willing to lend an ear. Years had passed after we graduated high school and our lives became busy so it became increasingly difficult to see each other but we always would reach out to one another to check in and see how things were going. It was over those years I had become lucky enough to start a job that introduced me to Andrew’s brother, Zach, who introduced me to him and his group of friends. Andrew’s love for video games, computers, and movies made it easy to connect with him. We always had a lot to talk about because I was the guy encouraging him when he needed to hop on WoW for a raid, those things are tough and you need someone with the kind of experience Andrew’s got. Andrew helped me piece together the parts I needed to build a PC because I had no idea what I was doing and I still have lots of questions but it’s great knowing I got Andrew on my side. The two of them meeting has been such a blessing as it’s brought together so many of my friends!

I was introduced to Andrew over four years ago when I started dating his younger brother, Zach. Andrew and I got along pretty well, always teasing and joking around with each other. I would always run to his door and try to bother him as much as I could. Once I met Christina when they first started dating, I remember how happy she made him. It thrilled me to see him so happy, and I was lucky enough to become close friends with Christina. She quickly became the sister I never had and I feel so grateful to have witnessed their love blossom.

My friendship with Christina has always felt special. When we first met at Nathen's "Bat Mitzvah", her in a full-body wizard's cloak and me sweating through clothes my mother picked out for me, it was clear that I was sitting with one of the coolest, funniest, and friendliest people I have ever met. My life has been enormously better, and more delightful, due to the spell she cast that night. Christina and I forged our friendship on a shared love of Harry Potter. When you see the way her and Andrew look at each other, you'll see the magic too.

Marina here! One of Christina’s many cousins. Don’t let the word “many” take any credit away. I lived in New York up until five years ago and every time I would visit Arizona, it felt as if no time had passed between us. We always picked up right where we left off. If I recall correctly; we once described the feeling of being without each other was the equivalent to a salt shaker being left in the cabinet without the pepper shaker or a lonely single dish in the dishwasher without the rest of the dishes. All this to say that it wouldn’t be a proper wedding without salt & pepper. As for Andrew, although I’m still SALTY he forgot my name the first time we met…. I couldn’t imagine anyone better for my salt shaker. Welcome to the family, paprika! ( I mean Andrew )

I first met Andrew back in the early 90's. Back then, he cried a lot and required a tremendous amount of attention ;-) Since then, he has grown tremendously, pun intended, into the eldest of my two younger brothers. While we are many years apart in age, we have still managed to bond over a variety of activities and am proud of the man he has become. I am over the moon that he found such a loving and thoughtful woman in Christina, or maybe she found him...hmmm. While I have only known Christina a short while, the positivity, love, and selflessness she exudes is on display every time I see her. It brings me such joy knowing that these two will be forever entwined, working as a team, to build this new life together. I am thrilled, and honored, to be a part of their wedding and can't wait to see these two love birds pledge their love for each other.

Jessica Rodriguez

Hiya. I’m Jessica, Christina’s eldest sister. I’m glad I saved her life as a baby so I could be a part of this amazing day. Chris is kind, wise, loving and second funniest person I have ever met. I can’t wait to watch her life unfold in front of me and to be a vital part of it. Andrew and I went to high school together and not for a second sis I ever think he was going to be my brother in law but I’m super glad she picked him and that he’s the one coming into to this family because he IS the funniest person I’ve ever met. Congrats you guys. Love you bunches.

I’m Sam, Christina’s newest brother-in-law. I’m married to Christina’s favorite sister, Melissa. Together we live in Virginia, which is probably why Christina likes her so much. Christina and I share a lot of common interests like selling paper, Dwight Schrute, finding a cure for rabies, and pretzel day. I’m looking forward to welcoming Andrew into the family soon so I’ll no longer be the newest addition the the Dragone clan
Melissa Dragone
Bridesmaid
I’m Melissa, Christina’s older (but co-middle) sister. Chris and I are three years apart but we still found ways to spend time together when we were in the same schools. We did marching band together in High School and got to live together her freshman year in college. We live far apart now, but that’s probably what makes her like me the most. I met Andrew for the first time back when he and Christina worked together at Starbucks years ago, at a time when Chris was trying to set Andrew up with one of her friends. I’m glad that didn’t work out because these two are perfect for each other. Chris is funny but Andrew is 10/10 funnier. Looking forward to watching all the live, laugh, loves these two will enjoy.
