Wedding Party

Heather Jenkins

Officiant

Heather Jenkins is an adored friend by us both. We couldn’t be more honored to have her officiating our special day and couldn’t imagine anyone else by our side.

Scott Baptiste Sr.

Father of the Bride

Elizabeth Baptiste

Mother of the Bride

Joe Fugallo IIl.

Father of the Groom

Patricia Fugallo

Mother of the Groom

Katharine Baptiste

Maid of Honor

Katharine has been my sister my whole life. It has been such a privilege having such a strong, determined woman capable of anything as a role model growing up. We grew up watching the Disney channel, making up random plays to perform for our toys, sharing secrets, and just trying to figure things out in life. I am so proud of all that she has accomplished and how strong our relationship remains to this day. In true Katharine fashion, she will be standing by my side on my wedding day as my maid of honor. I predict her song of the evening will be "Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Huston.

Alisha Watson

Maid of Honor

Alisha and I have been best friends for over 10 years now. We met in a very unconventional way and despite being polar opposites at any given moment, we have remained the best and closest of friends all these years. We have had the privilege to watch each other grow, evolve, and conquer all that life has thrown our way. Alisha has been my rock, my mentor, and my guiding light through everything. I couldn’t be more honored to have her in my life, and as my partner in crime, especially during the most significant moments of my life. I predict her song request of the night will be “Twerkulator” by City Girls

Addy Gorham

Bridesmaid

Addy and I met in 2013 when my family moved from East Meadow, NY to Mexico, ME (yes you read that right) my senior year of high school. Addy took me under her wing and we became fast friends. From tennis practice, tanning, Dunkin’, Frosty Delight, and trips to the orthodontist, we instantly started making lifelong memories together. Since then we have both made many moves around the U.S. separately, and still managed to find time to take an international trip to China to teach English immediately followed by a cross country road trip together to move me from FL—>NY. She’s never missed a milestone yet, and I am honored to have her as my bridesmaid on my big day! I predict Addy’s song request of the night will be “We Can’t Stop” by Miley Cyrus

Diane Sigler

Bridesmaid

If I could design my “dream” sister-in-law, she would be Diane. I am so thankful that Diane came into my life and for all of the wonderful memories we’ve made since then! From karaoke, bar crawls, family functions, and our girls nights, we’ve made some really special memories in such a short period of time. I am so excited to see what new memories we make together, and for all of the big events we get to support each other in for the years to come! I couldn’t be more thankful to have Diane in my life and as one of my bridesmaids! I predict Diane’s song request of the night will be “Whip It!” By Devo

Nicole Piekaraki

Bridesmaid

Nicole is not only Mike’s beautiful cousin, but she has also become such a close friend of mine as well. We’ve shared cups of coffee, glasses of wine, fashion advice, life advice, family vacations, and so many funny stories in between. I am so grateful to have her as my bridesmaid on the most important day of my life. I predict Nicole’s song request of the night will be “Run the World” by Beyoncé.

Felicity LeClair

Bridesmaid

Felicity is my bonus sister, Matthew’s partner, and the mother of my beautiful niece, Livana. We have made such amazing memories over the last few years and I am so thankful that she was brought into my life. She is always my biggest cheerleader, the kindest soul, and such an amazing mother. I am honored to have Felicity as my bridesmaid on my special day. I predict Felicity’s song request for the night will be “Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo (because Matthew asked her to request it).

Joseph Fugallo IV.

Best Man

Joseph has a brilliant mind and a mean ping pong serve. You sparked my inner creativity by introducing me to photography. From that path you helped me land my career in film and thought me an immeasurable amount of lessons over the years, I’ve always looked up to you as my big brother but also as a role model. I’m extremely proud to call you my brother but also my co best man.

Edward Fugallo

Best Man

Eddie truly is the funniest and most charismatic person I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. From skateboarding through the five boroughs as kids to backyard bbqs as adults. I’m honored to have you as a Co Best man because you’ve helped shape me into the best man I could be, introducing me to the gym and inspiring me to grow more socially. So lucky to call you a brother.

Matthew Baptiste

Groomsman

Matthew and I had attended grade school together, and although we hadn’t been extremely close in our youth. Today you are my brother and our friendship is very special, extremely grateful that Victoria had brought us closer over the years and to see you become a great father, mixed martial artist and friend.

Dylan Hippner

Groomsman

Dylan Hippner is truly one of the best people I’ve ever met, a great friend with a heart of gold. Very appreciative to have gotten closer over the years, from elaborate drawings in Angelo’s pizzeria to mixed media art projects launched as non fungible tokens. Although the second best UFC player in East Meadow, you are the best at being there for when your friends and family need you.

Brandon Diaz

Groomsman

Brandon is one of the most intelligent and creative individuals I’ve ever met. Our high school photography adventures are still some of my favorite memories, exploring NYC and showcasing how we see the world through our lenses. One of my longest running friendships that I cherish. Growing up isn’t always easy but I’m glad I had someone there to go through all the awkward steps of the way.

Alex Lazurka

Groomsman

Alex and I both met through our love of the Baptiste’s and I’m so happy to call him a brother in law. Beyond his vast intelligence and business savvy, he is the life of the party and makes everything a fun time. Beyond being a busy dog dad he always makes time for his friends and family.

Thomas Grasso

Groomsman

Thomas is a great friend an amazing addition to the groomsmen party. From the club to the bowling alley it’s always a great time together. I’m very grateful Alisha had introduced us and to have you as a friend. He brings a real spark to the groomsmen party (poor electrician joke).
