Luke Kverek
Groomsman
Known since birth, Luke is the younger brother the groom never had. Luke is 10 years younger than the groom but arguably acts much older. Luke is currently enrolled in middle school but will be advancing to senior high next year. The groom couldn’t imagine having a wedding without Luke by his side as the two are about as close to family as you can get without blood. Luke plans to grow up and take over his family business once he graduates.
Sarah Peterman
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Rachel met in 2015 when Sarah started dating Ryan's brother Johnny. Rachel was so excited when she met Sarah not only because of how much the two shared in common but also because of how perfect her and Johnny were/are for each other. Sarah and Rachel have had so many memorable times together and although Sarah doesn't live local, her and Rachel always remain in contact with one another forever making each other laugh. Rachel and Ryan are so thrilled to have Sarah a part of their lives especially on such an important day!
Aidan Finnerty
Groomsman
Aidan’s relationship with the groom is one that can only be described with perfect timing. During the grooms last semester of college on campus, he was given the opportunity to be a residents assistant (RA) in the Smith Hall dormitory. During this time, Aidan was one of the many students that the groom was responsible for in the north wing of Smith Hall. One day Aidan dropped by to talk and hang out with the groom. After that day, it was rare to see another day pass when the two didn’t spend time together. They would play video games together, eat together, and hangout in the RA office when the building was quiet. Aidan is currently enrolled at SUNY Canton pursuing a degree in renewable energy sources. Without a doubt these two are the definition of best friends.
Ashley Spenziero
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Rachel's oldest sister and she has had such an inspiring influential impact on Rachel's life. Growing up Rachel has always known that no matter what the situation is, good or bad, Ashley is always there to give her honest opinion in efforts to help guide her in the right direction. Rachel has watched her sister grow up to be one of the strongest individuals she knows and will forever cherish all the memories they have made and will continue to make.
Cesar Ramirez
Groomsman
Cesar is one of the most respected individuals in both the bride and grooms lives. Born and raised in Venezuela, Cesar came to America in 2012 to attend college at SUNY Canton and enrolled for the fall 2013 semester. During their freshman year, Cesar and the groom were enrolled in English class together. At that time Cesar struggled with the English language and was self taught through watching the TV series “Friends.” It wasn’t until Cesar and the groom were both RA’s that they became close friends. During the summer after their junior year, Cesar came to the capital district to live with the grooms family. Since then Cesar has had a family away from home with the Foti’s. Cesar is currently working for Global Foundries as an engineer.
Amber Spenziero
Bridesmaid
Amber is Rachel's youngest sister and while growing up Rachel has always made sure to be the best role model that she can be for her sister. Amber has accomplished so much and Rachel couldn't be any more proud of who she has become. All of the childhood memories the two have shared, will always hold a special place in Rachel's heart. Even though their paths may change as life goes on, their bond as sisters will always remain strong.
Desmon Jones
Groomsman
Desmon is one of the funniest and greatest friends anyone could ask for. During their freshman year of college, Des and the groom met on the outdoor basketball court. At that time neither of them knew that it was the start of one of the greatest friendships known to man. Ironically, Des and the groom were separated by only a few doors on the first floor of the north wing in Rushton Hall. Des, the bride, and the groom grew closer and closer as time passed. Des is able to bring a smile to anyone’s face and is someone who is hard to stay mad at. Des showed interest in the development of the bride and grooms relationship and was always there for both of them. It is hard to imagine their wedding without Desmon’s participation. Des is currently a basketball coach for a school in NYC.
Becca Weeks
Bridesmaid
While attending the Veterinary Technology program at SUNY Canton, Rachel and Becca met at the Rushton Hall dorm building in 2013. For a while Becca did not know Rachel's name. She only knew her as "Man Cavers Girl" which was a wall mount Ryan had hanging on his dorm room door. Once Becca and Rachel finally met, they were inseparable. With it being Rachel's first time away from home, leaving all of her family and friends, she wasn't sure how she was going to start this "new life." Becca was the one who was there for her when she needed it most as a friend and made this "new life" something she will never forget and always cherish. Becca has always been there for the couple and to have her as a bridesmaid at their wedding is the greatest gift they could have been given.
Adam Campbell
Groomsman
Adam (Campbell) is one of the grooms closest friends. Although the two met barely over a year ago, the two have pushed one another to be the best they can be. Adam and the groom attended the police academy with one another and at the beginning had no idea of the others first name. However, after a few weeks the two began running with one another during their PT sessions and grew close. Although they worked at different departments, the two held friendly competitions during PT and made each other better. The two also sparred during the DT portion of the academy helping strengthen each other’s weak points. Adam and the groom attempt to spend time together whenever their work schedules permit. Adam is currently serving within the capital district.
Victoria Campbell
Bridesmaid
Unexpected friendship is the only way to describe Vickie and Rachel. The two girls were introduced to each other in 2018 during Ryan's police academy graduation party. Rachel was there to support Ryan and all of the other officers involved but she did not expect to have gained a friendship with one of the officers Fiance's at the time. It is incredibly remarkable how someone can be brought into someones life and influence them in ways they can't even imagine. Vickie and Rachel have already made so many memories together and Rachel not only has received a friend who understands her but she has a friend who sticks by her side through thick and thin. Rachel is very fortunate to have Vickie as a bridesmaid in her wedding and looks forward to their lifelong friendship!
