Joseph Baier
Groom
What can I say about this man , I absolutely LOVE him !!! He is my heart and my soul . Everyday he shows me why I fell in love with him and why I keep falling more and more in love with him . He is an AMAZING father , you will never hear him call my children his step kids…. they are his kids ! He is a hard worker and never gives up or says I cant do it . He has taught me that just because life gets hard we don’t quit we just keep trying until we get it right . He is such a gentleman and always lets me know ( daily ) that I am beautiful inside and out ! I never imagined that I would be getting married or that real love existed . But when I met Joe that was all it took for me to see that there are real good honest loving men still out there. I knew from our first date that he was who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with . Love goes beyond words and physical attraction its the way he looks at me , the small silly things he does when I need a pick me up and sometimes its nothing at all , just his presence is all I need . I cant say enough about his sense of humor he reminds me so much of my dad , hard worker , jokester and all around comedian lol . He knows how to brighten anyones day . There is never a dull moment with him ! He is my everything and no one can come between us or stand in the way of our happiness !!!
Dana Marie Mannara
Maid of Honor
My best friend , my daughter , my go to for everything ! I can truly and honestly say I am BEYOND proud of this amazingly beautiful gorgeous smart young woman ! She has made me so proud to be her mom . She is such a great sister to her two brothers and would do the absolute word for them . She has been there for me and has been the one to act like the grown up when I couldn’t, she has picked me back up when I fell down and always will be honest with me and not tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear . We have not always gotten along or seen eye to eye but no matter what we will always be there for each other . My love for her grows with every breath I take . She has shown me through her own life journey that as long as you push yourself and try you can succeed . From graduating high school a year early to finishing college and getting a promotion she is definitely one of a kind ! I never gave a second thought as to who I wanted to be my maid of honor , I wouldn’t have it any other way then having my best friend / daughter by my side throughout all of the planning and even more on one of the most important and memorable days of my life !
Justin Mannara
Best Man
My son , my first born , my heart ❤️ . The day he came into my life he made me more then just a mom he made my entire life have meaning and a purpose . I love him more each day as I have watched this beautiful baby grow into a handsome well rounded young U.S Marine . That was one of the hardest days but proudest days as his mom . Watching him leave and knowing I couldn’t see him talk to him , hug him and most of all protect him was very difficult but when the time came to see him it was worth the wait ! He has continued to grow into a handsome man with even more goals and dreams that I know he will fulfill. Nothing gets in his way and he is always motivating me to push myself beyond what I believe is my limits . He can make you laugh with his amazing personality ! He is an amazing big brother and son . He looks out for his brother and sister even from a distance ! I am as well as Joe honored to have him as the Best Man !
Christine
Bridesmaid
Christine may not be married to my brother but she is family regardless ! From the day I met her she has shown me what a truly amazing woman she is ! She has helped me through some difficult times and is there for me when I need her ! She has a heart of gold and such a good friend/ sister . She has a great personality , sense of humor and is just absolutely beautiful ! I always look forward to spending time with her . Christine is someone who I can confide in and never feel like I am being judged , I appreciate her straightforward honesty . I am not just grateful and blessed to have her in my wedding but to have her in my family forever ❤️
Joseph John
Groomsman
My big Brother , growing up he picked on me and fought with me but never dared let anyone hurt me ! He was and always will be …my brother , my friend , and my protector . We had our ups and downs but I will never let anyone ever get in the way of my relationship with him again. He always knows how to make me laugh and hates seeing me cry . He is always there when I need him , when my first born child came into this world he was by my side and is the best God Father / Uncle to his nephews and niece ! He is an amazing father and loves his kids more then life itself ! I am so happy that he is continuing this walk in life with me and there for round 2 ! Lol . His support through out the last few years has gotten me through some bad days and is what also got me to where I am today . I love him very much !
Stephanie
Bridesmaid
My best friend , my sister ! When we met I never had imagined we would be friends even like each other but boy was I wrong . 21 years and going strong . We may live a thousand miles apart and not speak as often as we like but I know that no matter what we will always have each others back . I cant imagine not having her be a part of my life nor do I ever want to . I love her and admire everything about her ! She is a hard worker , amazing mother , friend , sister and co worker . I wouldn’t change one thing about this amazing woman ! I am extremely honored that she will not only be here to see me get married but to be a part of my wedding !!!
Nicholas
Groomsman
My brother , my other protector . I am beyond lucky to have him as my brother . He was always there for me as a kid and continued to be as I grew up . During the last few years when I hit a low he was there for me and my kids and honestly I couldn’t have done it without him . He never tells me what I want to hear he just tells me how it is and I needed that . He is always motivating me and giving me words of encouragement . I will always be his baby sister and I wouldn’t change it for the world . I could never repay him for everything he has done for us . We definitely don’t talk as much as I would like but I know he knows how much I love him and how much I appreciate him . Round 2 will be better this time around and I am glad he will be here with us to celebrate and make more amazing memories !
Gianna
Bridesmaid
My sweet Gianna , I watched her come into this world . I was one of the first few to hold her and from that moment I knew that my entire heart was full of love for her and it grows stronger every day. Even though we have not seen each other in such a long time nothing has changed , I watched her grow from this beautiful baby girl into a beautiful funny little girl with a personality that was as huge as her heart and now into this stunning young woman with determination and a drive to succeed on her own ! She has blessed me with the honor of being a part of this amazing day with me !
Joseph Salvatore Mannara

My son , my baby boy ❤️❤️ I have watched him grow from my silly little wild child into my handsome silly and FUNNY teenager !
