Farina & Tom
Wedding Party
Julianne Spadaro
Maid of Honor
If Farina has a questionable idea brewing, Julianne is the first in line, enthusiastically grabbing a shovel (or whatever the situation calls for). Julianne is the kind of friend who would literally give you the Louis Vuitton off her back – and has! She's even sacrificed her own comfort, swapping shoes with Farina so she could actually enjoy a night out. They are both small with surprisingly big personalities, so you'll definitely know when Julianne and Farina are in the same room together. When Julianne isn't spending hours on the phone with Farina dispensing unofficial (but probably brilliant) legal advice, you can find her running her own empire, wrangling her adorable pups Duke and Dolly, tackling a house renovation, or cruising the sunny waterways of Fort Lauderdale.
Shelly Evans
Bridesmaid
Shelly might have lost her Southern accent in college, but thankfully gained Farina as a bestie almost immediately. They’ve navigated life’s major milestones together such as achieving the same college major, adopting their beloved puppies (Leo and Mila), and now they’re tackling the ultimate adventure together: their bridal era. As Chic Fil A's Chief Fashion Designer, you’ll catch Shelly sketching the latest uniform designs in between wedding planning and pilates.
Erica Cameron
Bridesmaid
Her friendship with Farina is a tale of international escapades as study abroad roommates. Stories include a time where Erica, Farina, and Julianne got left in Florence, Italy and Farina lost her tooth in Barcelona, Spain. As twin fire signs (Aries and Leo), they are the life of the party whether it is shopping on Rodeo Drive or behind a DJ booth in Oxford England. You can find Erica eating breakfast burritos, designing the security backbone of Amazon, and spending time with her family including her son, Tate, and two dogs.
Margot Zirger
Bridesmaid
It was love at first sight when Margot and Farina locked eyes across a crowded and slightly sticky fraternity house (ATO). The rest was history because Margot picked Farina to be her sorority Big Sister and they are now sisters for life. When she’s not working as Chic Fil A’s Chief Financial Planner, you can find Margot living her best life listening to Pitbull at a Mexican restaurant with a margarita in hand or actually in Mexico on a cruise with her family and adorable daughter, Sophia.
Alexis Wojcio
Bridesmaid
Alexis and Farina go back to high school when Alexis was a YouTube sensation, racking up one million views back in the platform's early days. As a talented wedding videographer, Alexis has a knack for capturing everyone's love story with heart and artistry. Her infectious positivity is truly unmatched – she has the magical ability to make Farina (and honestly, anyone) burst into laughter, no matter the situation. When she’s not adopting stray cats on the side of the road, she’s spending time with her family including two beautiful daughters and two dogs.
Caitlyn Burkhardt
Bridesmaid
A friendship that dates back to high school bus rides and their Sweet Sixteen era. Caitlyn is the calm to Farina’s chaos - always showing up 5 mins early while Farina shows up 30 mins late to any planned event. Caitlyn is the kind of friend who truly listens. She orchestrated an epic surprise, gifting Farina tickets to her very first Taylor Swift concert which was the Speak Now tour. Caitlyn loves takeout sushi, diving into a good book, bringing order to the world through organizing and planning, and, most importantly, spending quality time with her beloved family, including her son, Cooper.
Emily Irani
Bridesmaid
We’re thankful Emily found something special in Zubin which worked out great for Farina because Emily is the sister she has always wanted. And now Farina gets to step into the cool fun aunt role she was born to take on. Emily is the hostess with the mostest, incredible interior designer, dog mom, and soon to be mom. You can find her and Zubin cooking up a delicious meal and watching reality TV.
Matthew Matergia
Best Man
Matt has been a great friend of Tom's since freshman year of college at University of Denver. They have traveled the world together, including all over Europe, Asia, Central and South America, including rooming together in Spain for a semester. They have an annual snowboard trip in Colorado where they shred the gnar in the back bowls of Breck. Matt keeps Tom outdoorsy and adventurous since he moved to Atlanta and one of these days they will go helicopter skiing.
Daniel Villena III
Best Man
Daniel was Tom's first friend in Atlanta, where they both worked at the corporate offices of Starwood Hotels & Resorts. Years later, they studied the GMAT together and (thankfully) both got into Emory University and graduated with their MBAs. Daniel can be credited with providing intel to Tom that led to Tom and Farina's first kiss. Daniel's breakdancing skills are legendary.
Daniel Zirger
Best Man
Dan and Tom have been good friends for many years in Atlanta. They were roommates in Buckhead and Tom's house in West Midtown and would sometimes frequent a bar or two, enjoying only the finest Bud Lights. Dan and Tom root for the same European soccer teams and enjoy going to Atlanta United games. Dan and his wife, Margot, honored Tom by naming him the Godfather of their baby girl, Sophia.
Nicholas Kitaeff
Groomsman
Nick and Tom have been great friends since freshman year of college. Nick is always a great time and brings the energy to every adventure the two have been on, including tour guiding Tom around the East Coast for the first time, performing as 80s hair metal bands in Mexico, and helping Farina learn how to ski in Colorado. You can find Nick crab walking on the dancefloor.
Andrew Zirger
Groomsman
Andy is one of Tom's first friends in Atlanta. The two have had many adventures together and it's been great for Tom to witness Andy grow from a lost Cleveland Browns fan to a family man and entrepreneur (even though he's still a Browns fan). It's always fun spending time with Andy and his family and supporting their family business. Check out a Bar Crawl USA event in a town near you (I'll collect my marketing fee later, Andy).
Gordon Kennedy
Groomsman
Gordy is Tom's cousin and as Tom has grown, the two have become closer. They have had some great trips together including skiing, lake houses, and a USA soccer game where they met members of the team. Tom and Farina have spent time with Gordy and his wife Camie (and kids Tori and Lauren) at their beach house in Florida and in Atlanta. Even though he is now eligible for AARP, Gordy still knows how to have a good time.
Zubin Irani
Groomsman
Zubin is Tom's future brother-in-law! Big news for an only child. Throughout the years of dating Farina, Tom has spent time with Zubin at family events, including Zubin's wedding. Zubin often hosts Tom and Farina and provides smoked meats, which is always appreciated. It's just a shame that their dogs do not get along (thanks, Leo...).
