Emmaleigh & James
Wedding Party
Guy Olivero
Officiant
Guy and Jimmy have been friends since middle school and played on various traveling sports teams together. Guy has always been a very considerate friend, always helpful and inviting. He and his wife Katie have become super close to Jimmy and Em and know their relationship very well. Guy will always be a part of the family and they are honored to have him officiate their marriage.
Hannah Margaretta
Bridesmaid
Hannah is Emmaleigh’s older sister by 9 years, which means she’s been giving Em guidance, lots of clothes, and occasional big-sister wisdom (like teaching her big words to insult their brothers with) for most of her life. She and Em have always been close and Hannah is incredibly supportive and just as protective no matter how old she gets. Emmaleigh is so happy to have her sister by her side on such an important day.
Eric Mack
Groomsman
Eric is Jimmy’s brother and one of his closest friends. So similar in so many ways, it’s impossible to not immediately know the relation upon first seeing them together. Eric brings the chill and loose attitude to the function to counteract Jimmy’s more uptight demeanor. Eric has become a brother to Emmaleigh and they are so excited to make that official and have him stand beside them on their special day.
Madison Peterson
Bridesmaid
Madi has been Emmaleigh’s longest friend, going all the way back to their ripe emo age of 13 when they instantly became bffs, mainly because Madi kind of forced her - she was so weird and funny and persistent. Madi (class prez) always included Em in football games, school dances, and other high school events so she could forget she was the weird homeschooled girl for a minute. Madi has been a constant in Em’s life ever since and an amazing friend. Em couldn’t get married without Madi by her side.
Adam Brusky
Groomsman
Adam legitimately might be Jimmy’s first real friend. He moved onto his block when he was 5 and Adam was 4. He has been there to support Jimmy through lots of wild times in his life and there hasn’t been a moment of time where they haven’t talked and hung out on the reg in the last 30 years. Monagroutsen melgrotsen.
Gianna Tafaro
Bridesmaid
Gi is one of Emmaleigh’s longest and dearest friends. After meeting at a church coffeehouse, they became besties almost immediately - although Gi was somehow convinced at first that Em hated her.. Insane.. they quickly became inseparable and their friendship even became a lil nauseating - wearing matching outfits, always giggling and even baking things for each other and pretending they were sisters. Their friendship is truly one of a kind, and Em is so grateful to have Gi by her side on her big day.
Matthew Ryan
Groomsman
If there was someone who Jimmy could be 100% authentic around, it would be Matt. It’s also up in the air if Matt was Jimmy’s first real friend, they met in 1st grade and have been great friends ever since that day. He’s another one of Jimmy’s groomsmen and also a fellow obsessed Tool fan.
Marissa D’Autorio
Bridesmaid
Marissa and Emmaleigh met at the gym about seven years ago and instantly clicked. Their friendship is built on shared obsessions with weird holistic health rituals, strangely identical music taste, and conversations that always last way longer than they have time for. As Taurus besties, there’s a lot of saying “we da same” to each other. Em is forever grateful to have a friend like Marissa by her side, on an average day and especially on her wedding day.
Brian Ogden
Groomsman
Brian is a guy who Jimmy can laugh about anything with, even the dumbest thing in the world. Easy going, never missed out on a trip or hang out sesh ever. Great friend, great little body, and great life long bestie. (Jimmy obviously wrote this and Em was not allowed to edit it)
Sam Silvestri
Bridesmaid
Emmaleigh and Sam met about six years ago at a local bar and quickly became “bar besties”.. which didn’t take long to turn into real-life besties. Since then, Sam has been Em’s dance partner, headstand buddy, and go-to espresso martini date. She’s always been one of Em’s biggest supporters, and Em couldn’t be happier to have her standing by her side on such a special day.
Dave Capparelli
Groomsman
Davey boy has been Jimmys friend since grade school. If you ever need to know an exact day, moment or memory, just ask him and he has a computer like memory about this stuff. Great guy to have around to document all the fun life experiences with and best concert buddy.
Marissa Ace
Bridesmaid
Marissa and Emmaleigh met several years ago at the gym - where, in true girl fashion, they both initially thought the other didn’t like each other. Luckily and soon after, they became great friends. Their routine soon became Leg Day Fridays followed by sushi, country music, and wine nights (because balance). Marissa has always been an incredibly loyal and supportive friend. While she may not be able to stand beside Em on the big day - she’ll be welcoming a baby boy that same month and Em couldn’t be happier for her.
Darrin Scardelli
Groomsman
Darrin is one of those friends who you want at every one of your parties because he brings insane energy and bottomless stories to keep everyone entertained. But also be prepared for him to be the last one to leave and he will not be happy about it. They became closer in their adult lives but go all the way back to middle school.
