Caileen & Christopher
Wedding Party
Poppi Ritacco
Matron of Honor
I am so lucky to have Poppi as a friend and MOH! We became good friends very quickly, after our kiddos met at Kindergarten orientation. After a year of adventures and building memories over mimosas, Poppi and her family moved to PA where Poppi started her new job as a Professor. Even though we don't live right around the corner anymore and we can't catch up at NYBP as often, our friendship hasn't faltered a bit. I am humbled and honored to have watched you begin a new chapter in your life, and couldn't think of anyone else I would want to be by my side on my next adventure as I take on the Fowler name. Cheers <3
Tevon Campbell
Best Man
Tevon...Tevon...Tevon, where do I start? Oh yea, that's right, you're loud. Since the moment I met you, you were yelling at complete strangers. I knew you as the PMT guy with the 90's R&B singer name. Little did I know you would become a big brother to me and my best friend. Thank you for always listening and telling me when I am wrong ( even though for some reason you never are) and showing me other perspectives on the things through life. I can always count on you to answer my calls ( if you have service) and give guidance. Love you and thanks for being my best man.
Logan Winnert
Groomsman
Our force has grown strong these past few years. From the times playing soccer outside and playing tag inside at the old house, we grew a special bond. I always laugh when you say " FALLAH!" when you have to ask something... you are a joy to be around and you bring me laughs ( especially when you do your moms voice "meeeh"). I am happy to have you by my side because you are a big part of our life. You better do your best floss on the dance floor on our wedding day. Love you, FALLAH.
Kim Colburn
Bridesmaid
Kim and I met in nursing school, and even though I was scared to talk to her the first few semesters, a beautiful friendship formed when we realized we are basically the same sarcastic person. I can always bank on Kim being there to be grumbly with me, contemplate our future as nurses, and encourage me to come to clinical. We have shared SO many laughs over chest tubes, writing our children's series and turning our clinicals into a circus. I could NOT have gotten through level 3 without you, and I can never thank you enough for letting me blow your phone up all day, everyday!
Christina Casey
Bridesmaid
" Hey baby wake up"! Not only are you my cousin, but you are my friend. I can always count on you for a funny story, to leave me behind in a snowbank, send me funny videos and to give me worthy competition in Mario Kart. You live too far away, but I am so proud of all you have accomplished and you're by far the coolest trooper I know. Thanks for being an amazing role model and my teeeeeeeeet!!!!!!
James Pierre
Groomsman
You were there in one of the toughest parts of my life and needed a friend. You were "black Thursdays" when they were just Thursdays. Even if you were busy you made time to just come play videos games and chill with BOOTS! I appreciate you so much for coming through every week without hesitation. I am sure me making the strip steaks that were hittin' helped , but seriously, thank you for being you. Love you, bro.
James Neely
Bridesman
My guanábana, confidant and friend! James and I go back to the days of Canisius College and Alpha Kappa Psi. You've been by my side through everything- pledging AKPsi ( God bless you), the birth of my son, and now my wedding day! Thanks for always keeping me safe and checking the bathrooms at Canisius, reminding me to "chew" on a problem before trying to solve it, keeping me calm when I go nutty, and being someone that I trust with all my secrets. Love you, Piñata.
Sean McNally
Groomsman
I've only known you a couple years but it feels like much more. From the nights we laughed at Chapelle show, or played MarioKart keeping everyone else awake from the laughing, I knew we were boys. Thank you for always opening up your place to us, and being a great brother. I also very much enjoyed our man-date to see Star Wars- that was dope. Thank you for looking out for me when I fell down the hill at Letchworth. Had you not done that, I don't know if I would be around to write this. You are family, and I love you bro.
Katie Carman
Bridesmaid
Katie has been my ride or die for the last 10 years. What started out as Katie being terrified of me during her pledge process, evolved into a beautiful and fun filled friendship. We have been through so many milestones together- Moves, new jobs, a marriage, the birth of Logan, pledging and graduating college. There's been countless bags of chips consumed together ( but not shared), hours upon hours of phone calls, sleepless road trips and unending inside jokes. Thanks for being my spy buddy, going on crazy adventures with me and letting me teach you camping tricks. Thanks for sticking by me and for being next to me on my wedding day. Love you long time, Mrs. Iglesias <3
Tess McNally
Bridesmaid
Tess is my sister in law and has been a friend for 17 years now! She's the best with advice and is a role model- Chris and I respect you and Seany and cant wait to keep learning from the two of you! Thanks for always having my back, letting me crash at your apartment when we visit, and helping me through this crazy wedding planning process <3
Louis Perez
Groomsman
The first time I encountered you, I noticed you couldn't iron. You still can't iron but it's all good because your words and advice on daily things definitely make up for it. From getting young chow, to watching Martin re-runs or most 90's in sitcoms, we did them all together. Rocked the Bahameees together- that was an epic trip to say the least. You invited me to stay with your family, who welcomed me with open arms, every single time. Your Mom has a spread fit for kings for breakfast every morning, and was absolutely amazing. I appreciate you guys so much, and you as a friend for bringing me into Long Island. Even though you're an adult and cant iron still or tie a tie, I love you bro.
Jordan Hayes
Groomsman
Not gonna lie, when I first met you, I didn't like you. Luckily for you, this has changed which is why you are going to be by my side on my wedding day. We definitely bonded while working together under the Saullo regime at beeper world. And you and I know by working I mean watching movies in the back room and sighing everytime a customer came in. It's amazing how much you've grown since I've known you and it's hilarious to look at the past times. You literally ran over a snowman with your car in the parking lot... it happened and I filmed it. Cheers to the good times then, and the ones to come. Love you man.
Brittany Cavaretta
Bridesmaid
Brittany is one of those friends that you choose because God didn't bless you with a sister. She is one of THE kindest, smartest and genuine human beings I have had the pleasure of getting to know and would have never been able to accomplish three semesters of nursing school without her. I can always count on her for advice (even when it's not what I want to hear), support (even when she doesn't agree with my decisions) and someone to have my back 110%. It is a privilege to have her stand next to me on one of the most important days of my life. Love you girl, SB.
Martin Cameron
Groomsman
You have been the best neighbor of all time. Whenever I need anything, you are always there to help, even if it's common-sense things I should know as an adult. Thank you for being a great friend and standing outside in buffalo's winter with me just to have conversations at 10pm. I can't wait to see you on the dance floor and see all the moves you have learned from tiktok. We've only known each other for a few years but seems like much more than that the way we get it when people are having normal conversations around us, you know what I mean. Thanks for being you and being a great friend I can always run things by, literally by stepping out of my front door. -Chris
Stephanie Stroud
Bridesmaid
Steph is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. We reconnected a few years after college and have stayed close friends even with all the crazy COVID business going on. I could not be luckier to have such a strong, beautiful, & hard-working friend in my life who shares my love of reading. I am proud and humbled to know you and to have watched you grow into the amazing woman that you are today! I know you are always one phone call away if I need someone to cry or vent to, be encouraged by or to share life's happiness with. You are one of the greatest friendships of my life and I could not thank you more for being my friend <3
Michael Micara
Groomsman
man do we go back- like back to the day where you first shunned me for telling you I wanted my steak well done. That night changed my life, & contrary to popular belief & my upbringing I did not die from red meat. First trip to Long Island was with you, and your family treated me like I was one of their own. I remember the college days when we would chill late at night even when we had exams in the morning. I am still terrified of open water, but I feel safe on your boat, well except that one time we hit the sandbar! You always go out of your way to help out your friends and show them a good time. I appreciate you very much and thank you for the influences you've had on me in the time I've known you. I'm excited to see you ballroom dancing to fast songs on our day.
Alex Zito
Groomsman
I meet you through Rich and I'm glad he introduced us. You have been a real good friend to me and always been there to help and talk things out when I needed some advice. Thank you for putting me on to Korean BBQ late night in NYC and changing my life, because I had no idea why there was a grill on our table. I'll never forget the 2-hour excursion into Manhattan and the multiple train switches, because you were too stubborn for me to get an Uber. This made me realize, I will never do that again, ever, not even if there's a fire. Thanks for being you though bro.
Sara Campbell
Bridesmaid
Sara is by far one of the most kind, and beautiful women and mothers that I know. We met through Tevon & Chris and quickly became good friends. I can always count on you for advice, and to always be there when I need a friend, a vent session or a glass of wine to share with someone. Thank you for keeping me level headed at times when my temper is out of control and for marrying Chris's best friend so we can always hang out together.
Nick Thomson
Groomsman
Thomson, how far we have come. You've always been a good guy in my book, and I am glad I have gotten to know you much better in the past few years. From hanging out, listening to rap music until 4am while Kobe sits and judges us - to eating taco bell at the same time. You and I have the exact sense of humor so it's funny to always be on the same page. Fun Long Island times both on and off land, to just hanging out by a fire pit talking about absolutely nothing (Seinfeld). Remember who was the first one to tell you that you look like Aaron Rodgers, and to tell you to be Negan for Halloween. Thanks for being you and being a good friend to talk to everyday; Can't wait to spend our special day with you bro.
