Danielle & Michael
Wedding Party
Samuel Roessler
Best Man
The groom's favorite brother. He's a special education inclusion teacher, a junior high school football announcer, and the groom's worst nightmare on the basketball court.
Sydney Gargiulo
Maid of Honor
The bride's favorite sister. She's a designer, a builder, and a below average bartender. Undefeated handstand champion of the world. A perfect ray of sunshine who will respond to "Squid".
Nathan Rodriguez
Groomsman
Old buddy of the groom. Once ate 50 hot wings in one sitting. Gets along well with people who carry big bottles of Fireball.
Emily Bailey
Bridesmaid
High school bestie and 1/3 of the SVF Crew. Responsible for teaching the bride that Led Zeppelin wasn't just one guy named Led and that beer doesn't stain denim. World traveler and expert on all things cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
Blaise Gargiulo
Groomsman
The bride's favorite brother. He'll be the guy at the reception with the big bottle of Fireball, making sure everyone forgets that they don't know how to dance.
Samantha McLeod
Bridesmaid
The bride's best friend from high school, where they bonded over knowing how to swim and casual teenage rebellion. The original beautiful, talented, brilliant tropical fish. Serving you empowered feminist and legs for days, darling.
Michael Cartwright
Groomsman
"The groom’s favorite friend" - Cartwright. Expertise includes coordinating shenanigans, executing hi-jinks, and partaking in all things tomfoolery. He can be found encouraging others to make “good” decisions.
Ellen Terry
Bridesmaid
The bride's ALOC bestie, former bunker-mate, and current partner in [true] crime. Law student, vegetarian (no, not even fish), and the godmother to Michael and Dani's two cats. Interests include being outside, wishing she was inside, and getting confused for Dani.
Cameron Miller
Groomsman
Friend of the groom since the beginning of Pokémon. Sports fanatic and fellow Army comrade. The first true love of Michael's life.
Sidney Berry
Bridesmaid
The bride's first Army friend and work big sister. More tattoos than the entire guest list combined. Has been responding to "Squid" since 1990 (Dani really has a thing for squids).
Angel Toscano
Groomsman
After meeting on the basketball court at Texas State, Angel made it his personal responsibility to develop young Michael's game, both on and off the court. Whether he's shooting hoops or shots, this 6'6" BigGiantBaller (feel free to add him on Snapchat) is the life of the party!
Megan Gargiulo
Bridesmaid
Holds the record for the bride's longest friendship (since birth). Spanish literature student full of fun facts about the Mexican Inquisition. A sleeper agent for Operation Unmentionables. Anxiously awaiting the line-dancing portion of the wedding reception.
Mark & Darla Roessler
Parents of the Groom
Mark is a die-hard Kansas State fan, the 2nd Street BBQ Pitmaster, a German Shorthaired Pointer brace handler/upland hunter, and a Texas Holdem Tournament player. Darla is a recently retired nurse who moonlighted incognito as the beloved elementary school mascot, Bob the Bobcat. A chicken whisperer, a master fish keeper with a green thumb, and a gluten-free celebrity chef on the rise.
Frederick & Michele Gargiulo
Parents of the Bride
Fred and Michele met as young Army officers when they were stationed in Stuttgart, Germany and have been married for thirty happy years. Fred is a historian, a wildlife expert, and an expert marksman who literally built a log cabin with his bare hands. Think Ron Swanson, but more manly. Michele is a planner, an organizer, and an athlete with a heart of gold. Think Leslie Knope, but more energetic.
John Gargiulo
Officiant
Doctor of Law who can school you in punk rock and hip hop. The single most influential music curator in the bride's life. Encyclopedic knowledge of movie quotes and resident strong man.
