Michelle & Anthony
Wedding Party
Kristin Fallica
Bridesmaid
I’m Michi’s big sister, and I’ve known her since the day she was born—which means I’ve been in charge pretty much from the start. Growing up, I played many roles in her life—second mom, teacher during my “playing school” phase, and, unfortunately, her hairstylist at one point. I’ve always been the sarcastically funny but serious one—the one who goes for the funny card over the sentimental—but I truly couldn’t be more grateful for the relationship I have with my sister today. Michi is someone who shows up for people in a way that’s rare—she makes everyone feel heard, loves deeply, and brings people together when it matters most. When she loves, it’s with her whole heart, which she wears openly on her sleeve. I couldn't be more happy for Anthony and Michi, and I’m thankful that I get the brother I've always wanted, especially one who knows how to fix everything and is so much like me. Michi may have to deal with double the sarcasm and “know-it-all-ness” now, but she found her person, and that’s what matters. They’ve built a life together that is full of love, chaos, and doggies, and I can’t wait to stand with them as they finally make this thing official.

Hello everyone! My name is Ariel, one of Anthony's older brothers. We met on July 4, 1987 and this picture is exactly what it's been like since...always sleeeeeping🤣! One of my best friends and smartest people i've ever met. We've shared many great memories but one of my favorite is the trip we took to the Dominican Republic with our dad. I couldn't be happier for him and Michelle. Congrats
Denise Soto
Bridesmaid
I am Anthony’s sister, animal lover, and book hoarder. I love nothing more than to stay at home with a Dunkin’s coffee and a good book. Having Anthony as one of my older brothers has made me one of the luckiest little sisters alive. As one of my best friends as well, it is such a blessing that he is marrying someone that became my book bestie and my other best friend. I am so grateful to be able to stand by Michelle’s side and witness the union of two of my favorite people.

As his older brother, watching him grow over the years has been a true blessing. He’s an amazing brother, uncle, and son—and will certainly be a great husband and father. One role I left out, arguably the most important of all, is my drinking buddy—this was taken when he was 22. Here’s to you, sir.
Jennifer Zuzolo
Bridesmaid
I’m Jennifer, and Meesh and I have been close for as long as I can remember. Our moms are best friends, so we basically grew up as sisters—cousins by blood, best friends by choice, and sisters in every way. From country concerts to countless Disney trips, we’ve made so many memories together over the years. But even more than that, she’s always had my back. Growing up, when things weren’t always easy, Meesh was the one who stood up for me—and that’s something I’ll never forget. She’s also the godmother to one of my three kids (though she’d tell you she loves all three the same), which says everything about the kind of person she is. Meesh is someone who shows up for the people she loves in a big way, and I’ve been lucky to have her by my side through every stage of life. I couldn’t be happier that she found Anthony—someone who fits so naturally into her world—and I’m so excited to celebrate this next chapter with them.
Nick Zuzolo
Groomsman
Hello everyone, I’m Nick Zuzolo—husband to Michelle’s cousin, Jen. I’ve known Michelle since 2014, when I started dating my wife. Over the years, she’s become not only a great friend, but also a loving aunt to our three kids—Gio, Nico, and Lilly. Anthony came along a few years later and instantly fit right in with the family. You can always count on both of them—whether it’s babysitting the kids or dropping everything to help me change a flat tire in the middle of rush hour. Their selflessness and willingness to help others truly stand out. I have to admit, I really miss having them just five minutes away in Salem. Those spontaneous summer nights in the backyard and last-minute dinner invites at our house have become all too rare since they moved to Lawrence. Michelle and Anthony, congratulations to you both!
Heather Winn
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Heather (or as some of you call me, Heathy). Michelle and I have been friends since high school, so we’ve supported each other through plenty of ups and downs. She’s always been a sounding board and a shoulder to cry on, but my favorite part of our friendship is how spontaneous it can be; from quiet nights reading outside at sunset, to last-minute adventures like buying Celtics tickets the same night as a concert we’re standing in line for (and only catching the last 3 minutes!), to deciding on a whim to play beer pong at Paddy Kelly’s where she met Anthony and the story of why we’re all here began. Anthony, thank you for loving my bestie so wholeheartedly and for supporting her family and friends just as much as she does. I couldn’t be more excited to stand beside you both as you begin this next chapter together. Love you both bunches! Michelle, I love you more (okay fine, equal)!

Anthony and I first met in the online world of World of Warcraft. What started as two players teaming up in a game quickly turned into a real friendship that lasted far beyond the screen. Even though we lived miles apart and didn’t meet face-to-face until later in life, we built a strong bond through countless adventures, late-night conversations, and shared memories in Azeroth. Over the years Anthony has always been there for me. No matter what was going on in life, he was the kind of friend who showed up, listened, and had my back. It’s rare to find a friendship that begins in a game and grows into something so genuine in the real world, but that’s exactly what happened with us. Seeing Anthony find someone who makes him truly happy is an amazing thing, and I couldn’t be more excited for both of you. I wish you a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and countless new adventures together. Congratulations to you both on your marriage — may your journey together be even greater than any quest we ever took on in World of Warcraft.
Lexi Ingemi
Bridesmaid
I am Michelle's cousin, and so much of our relationship has been built on the things we love; books, GOT, Harry Potter, and cozy wine and cheese nights. Some of my favorite memories with her are spent cooking together, getting lost in stories, and just enjoying the little moments that make our time together so special. Watching her relationship with Anthony grow has been incredible. Their love is full of laughter, trust, and a deep, natural connection. Anthony brings out such a genuine happiness in Michelle, and together they’ve built something that feels both steady and effortless in the best way. Seeing her find a love that feels so right for her has been incredibly meaningful. I’m so grateful to stand by her side and celebrate Michelle and Anthony as they start this next chapter together.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Michelle since she was just 9 years old, and watching her grow into the incredible person she is today has been truly special. She has always had a kind heart, a warm spirit, and a way of making people feel welcome and valued. Getting to know Anthony has been just as meaningful. Over time, he’s become not just someone important in Michelle’s life, but a good friend to me as well. His character, loyalty, and the way he cares for Michelle makes it clear how perfect they are for each other. Seeing the two of them together is a reminder of what love, respect, and true partnership look like. Their connection is genuine and strong, and it’s been an honor to witness their journey. I couldn’t be happier for them as they begin this new chapter together.

Anthony is my Uncle, and Michelle is my aunt. I met Michelle a while ago when she first started dating my uncle, and ever since then I can see how happy they’ve made each other. Their love is the kind of love where I will catch myself smiling when I see how they are together, because when you’re with them their energy is so contagious. They’ve both been a big part of my life, and have looked out for me, and helped to guide me through a lot so that I could be where I am now. I’m so grateful to be able to call Anthony my Tio, and Michelle my Aunt. They’ll always be people that I will look up to, and be able to admire the kind of love they share for each other.

If there was anyone you’d find in a holding cell next to Tony, it would probably be me—and man, would it be a story that was both epic and unbelievably stupid in the best way. Anthony and I both met Michelle on the same night, which was just as epic as you’d expect from the two of us. I’ll save the full details for a speech… if I’m allowed to give one. (Cough) I’ll probably give one anyway. What else can I say about my relationship with the bride and groom? Other than the fact that at the end of the day, we’re family—and that means a lifetime of stories, laughs, and probably a little trouble along the way.

Josh introduced me to both Michelle and Anthony, but Michelle’s meeting may have involved liquor and a bikini. If you find Josh’s Yankee Candle for the year, maybe you'll get to hear the story.

Being 7 years older, I have known Michelle since the day she was born. While she is technically my cousin, she has always been a second little sister to me. I have watched her grow from a peppy young child to a beautiful, intelligent and loving woman. I know her and Anthony are going to have an amazing life together. Congratulations!
