Welcome to our wedding
Wedding Party
Giovanna C Zirilli
Maid of Honor
Cousin est 1997 Maid of Honor est 2026 An amazing cousin, but more importantly, my best friend. Confident, resilient, and kind can only start to describe what a woman I have watched her grow into. We share countless talks, cries, and drinks together. God knew we needed each other in this lifetime, but as cousins because our parents could never handle us as sisters! I don't have kids of my own yet, but I know what unconditional love feels like and I have her to thank for it.
Eric J Pereira
Best Man
Eric’s THE man. The one you go to for great advice and honest advice. He’s the first one to offer a lending hand. He's the boss of the grill every 4th of July. His smile always fills the room, just like his mini me, Carson! Eric is the best father and husband to Carson & Marlene and he would do anything for his family. He is the perfect role model and definition of what it takes to be successful and hard working. Along with great humor and can cook up a great meal like his father! He’s a jack of all trades and our BEST man!
Michelle N Celio
Matron of Honor
Childhood friends are important. They are rare, and timeless. The foundation of who we truly are. Our time together is easy, and effortless. Watching each other grow over the last 20+ years has been nothing less than a privilege, and now I've gained a mini bestie Lorenzo aka Beans, who is also featured in our bridal party! Michelle knows me better than I know myself. I guess that's what best friends are for.
Jason A Gouveia
Groomsman
He’s probably the biggest eagles fan around. The leader of fantasy football, and a great soccer coach every year for The Revolution’s youth! Dedication is one of his strong suits. He’s a loving dog dad to the sweetest Ela girl and if you need anything he’s always there to help a friend out. Little fun fact- Jason is the friend that hitched us up! Jason introduced us to one another in our department at work! He was the connecting puzzle piece to our happily ever Pereira… thanks Jay!
Kaileigh L Petit
Bridesmaid
She is the absolute definition of a kind hearted soul. Always ready to give you the shirt off her back. So full of love and laughter. Not to mention, she helps deliver babies! If you like to thrift, make sure you follow behind our friend here, because she ALWAYS finds all the good deals! Anyone will agree, life is just much better with her in it.
Kevin M Machado
Groomsman
Cockpit Kev! If you need a flight, he’s your go to pilot! You’ll always find him professional and looking sharp! A brother, best friend, but most importantly, he’s our family. Whenever the crew gets together for a vacation, or dinner, he is the leader of the pack who we all count on to make sure everything goes smoothly. It's just in his nature! We have unlimited air miles to the Berm… thank you, Mr. Kevin! 🤭
Marlene Pereira
Bridesmaid
The owner of Salon Du Jour in East Providence RI. An absolute go to hair stylist specializing in Bridal. The best boy mama to Carson and the most loving, caring, devoted wife to Eric Pereira. She is always thinking of others, and puts extra love into everything she does! You want a good time, just call Marlene! You will always find her dancing it out to some Coldplay, or Ed Sheeran while she pours you a glass of Pino Grigio. Marlene is always the life of the party in any scenario, and the best sister in law a girl could ever ask for!
Nicholas M Machado
Groomsman
A true pickleball legend. You do not want to find yourself on the opposite side of the court if Nick is getting ready to spike that ball your way! We share countless dinners and vacations all together. It's safe to say he is a real one, someone you can talk to, and know his responses are truly genuine. There are not too many Nick Machados out there, but we are lucky to have ours!
Katelynn Zoccali
Bridesmaid
Our cousin Katelynn. Nick's cousin since birth, but mine since the day I met her! I still remember it as if it were yesterday. That beautiful smile, and welcoming energy. She has always had a place in my heart. We gravitated towards each other from the beginning. I was a proud bridesmaid by her side for her special day, and I cannot say I do without her by mine! She has the most amazing gift of art, it could be baking, painting, or styling hair at the cutest salon in Bremerton, Washington. You name it and she can do it! When I hear the word resilient, Katelynn comes to mind. Always stands tall no matter what life throws her way! Don't let her beauty and talent fool you, she is a tough cookie... in the sweetest way. 🤗
John J A Zoccali
Groomsman
To know John is to love him! A true gentleman. A hard worker and dedicated to the U.S. Navy. A true NY Yankee fan, but a sports lover in general to say the least! You are always guaranteed a quality conversation when talking to John! He makes our girl Katelynn very happy, and watching them build a wonderful life together has been nothing short of inspiring.
Makenzie R Fontes
Bridesmaid
A newly wed herself, Mrs. Makenzie Fontes was a stunning bride on Aug 31st of 2025. The day Cody introduced her to Nick and I, we knew we just met a life long friend. Kenzie carries herself with much grace, natural beauty, and poise. Catch her at a New England Patriots or Red Sox game though, and that's another story! She comes from strong Portuguese roots, that she proudly holds close to her heart. I have always had a special place in my heart for this queen. She always finds a way to make me crack up laughing. We share some serious core memories together that I will take with me to the grave. 😂
Cody L Fontes
Groomsman
Where do we start with Cody. Well, I guess passionate is a good start. Honest, and loves hard with all he has. is favorite thing to do is getting together with the people he loves and making memories. If you like to tailgate and ever find yourself at a Patriots game, make sure to look for Cody's white Chevy Silverado. He knows how to have a great tailgate! Fancy things don't impress Cody much. He prefers nature, adventure, and authenticity. We can always rely on Cody for anything. He will always assure the job will get done. If it's summer time, and the weekend, then you will definitely find Cody at second beach creating sand creatures with a crowd around him in awe. He is the definition of an old soul, one of few with no social media, and has a love for some throw back R&B.
Anthony Corio
Groomsman
To think my brother is 25! Not just yesterday, he was crawling around watching Bob The Builder. I have watched him grow into a gentleman through the years. Although there is a nine year gap between he and I, that has never stopped the unspoken bond we share still today. He may be quiet most of the time, but he will always share his sweet smile in response. He is hard working, responsible and humble. We are so proud to have Anthony a part of our special day!
Troy Simcock
Groomsman
A true blue collar guy. Hard working and a loving dedicated father to Layna. Our first little bestie of the friend group. She has lots of aunties and uncles who adore her! She is a mini Troy and we love it! Troy is one of the truest friends you could have. He is always a call away and will be there to help you no matter the day or time. He loves being with his friends and his little girl. Troy has a love for motor bikes, and you are likely to find him on a warm summer day riding his Harley on the freeway.
Shawn Bernardo
Groomsman
Shawn was one of Nick's childhood friends from the neighborhood. Fast forward years later, and he is now in a loving relationship with my cousin Giovanna! Talk about the invisible string theory! I couldn't ask for a better man to be with my dearest cousin. He is a firefighter for the town of Barrington. Fearless, hard working, and determined always! We have watched him work so hard for what he has and couldn't be more proud of him!
Carson J Pereira
Ring Bearer
Our chicken nugget. It's hard to even think of our life before he came in it. He lights up everyone's world. His infectious laugh, that beautiful smile, and the way he runs around and plays, reads, and colors. Carson makes Ti Nick & I sooooo proud! So smart, full of love, hugs, and kisses. We can't wait to watch you keep growing into such a wonderful young man! You're going to do great things Carson, and Ti Nick and Auntie B will be cheering you on the whole way!
Lorenzo Celio
Ring Bearer
My Beans, yes... that's your nickname and it always will be. My little bestie. When you get older, you won't believe how long your mother and I have been friends. We'll laugh and tell you all our childhood stories while we drink wine or coffee, and you'll roll your eyes and smirk. You are such a little bean, full of life, and so happy all the time. You look just like mommy and it melts my heart every time I look at you. I'll be at all your hockey games when you get older. Call auntie B anytime and I will come get you out of trouble, cause I'm a cool aunt, don't forget it!
