Wedding Party
Anne Marie Capobianco
Officiant
Anne Marie is the bride's older sister, but gets along with Joe just as well. Her dog, Maggie, may love Joe more than Gina - a bit of a sore subject! Gina and Joe spend lots of time with Anne Marie, particularly completing Nine Pin 26er cider challenges. Anne Marie lives in Colonie with Maggie and works as a first grade teacher. Fun fact: Anne Marie created the monogram for our wedding!
Laura Capobianco
Maid of Honor
As twin sisters, it was a no brainer to have Laura as maid of honor. Gina and Laura grew up doing everything together, from practicing for Orchestra to taking cake decorating classes, and going to track meets. Now they love to swap recipes and craft ideas. Laura lives with her boyfriend, Will, in Endicott, NY with their two cats Winston and Arlie. Fun fact: When Laura met Will and Gina met Joe, both Will and Joe drove the same car and both have April birthdays!
Annie Lettko
Bridesmaid
Annie is the sister of the groom, and he is very lucky that she and Gina get along so well. Joe and Gina loved visiting Annie in the city and exploring together. Now, Annie is starting her PhD in neuroscience at UW-Madison! Joe and Annie are a lot closer now in adulthood, and it takes both Annie and Gina to keep Joe in check! Fun fact: Annie was the first of Joe’s family members that met Gina!
Kerry Blanchard
Bridesmaid
Gina and Kerry met in High School over a decade ago and have been friends since! There are so many good memories with Kerry, from going to the 99 after a school dance, to more recently seeing concerts and shows together in the City. Kerry lives in Manhattan with her husband, Jack, and Gina and Joe love to visit! Fun fact: Gina was also in Kerry's wedding!
Ashley Mercurio
Bridesmaid
Gina and Ashley met playing softball together in eighth grade, which was quite a few years ago! They stayed close friends throughout high school, going to school dances together and hoping they had the same lunch period. Now as adults, we bond over home projects we wish to complete. Ashley lives in Rotterdam with her husband, Dom, and dog, Macie. Fun fact: Gina was also in Ashley's wedding!
Emma Markoski
Bridesmaid
Gina and Emma first met right before freshman year at WPI, in 2014. They decided to room together and ended up living together all four years of college while being track and cross country teammates. They stayed very close after graduation, visiting each other frequently. Emma works as a biomedical engineer on insulin pumps and lives with her husband, Alex, and two cats Dax and Calli in Massachusetts. Fun facts: Gina was also in Emma's wedding, and Emma paces half marathons!
Kathleen Stuto
Bridesmaid
Kathleen and Gina go way back, since our parents were friends with each other long before we were born! Kathleen always felt like a third sister, and luckily we got to spend every summer vacationing together on Cape Cod. Kathleen lives in Colonie with her boyfriend, Nick, and their dog, Lucy. Fun fact: Our families are so close we call ourselves the Caputos!
Ben Crawley
Best Man
Joe and Ben were childhood neighbors, growing up across the street from each other. They first became friends at four and three years old respectively, when their Dad's noticed they both had toy Jeeps they drove around in, and the rest is History! Joe and Ben have been like brothers ever since. Ben had the Best Man slot locked in ever since their first Jeep adventure together. Fun Fact: Ben took the photos of Joe’s proposal to Gina on Cape Cod!
Justin Lettko
Groomsman
Joe and Justin are cousins, and have been close since they were kids. After college, Joe and Justin both started working at the same engineering firm, and both live with their significant others less than a mile from each other! The four of them participate in the 26er challenge, and frequently go out for "passport stamp" drinks, and go to events together. Fun Fact: Justin has not eaten a pea in over a decade!
Matt Lanoue
Groomsman
Joe and Matt met in middle school, where they both competed on the Track and Field team and became close friends immediately. Both remained close throughout college, visiting each other from time to time. Now, Matt works at Regeneron after he and his wife Sam moved back to NY from CA! Fun Fact: Matt met Sam in high school, but didn’t start dating until after college!
Vincent Caruso
Groomsman
Joe and Vincent also met in middle school on the Track and Field team, and the two of them and Matt often competed in the same events together. Vincent lives in NYC, which is another excuse to go to the city to visit with Annie, Kerry, and Vincent. Fun Fact: Vincent is a professional photographer!
Andrew Sawicki
Groomsman
Joe and Andrew met freshman year of college at Clarkson, both participating in the ROTC program. Even after living together sophomore year (which wasn't a good idea), their friendship persevered after college, and remained close. Joe was at Andrew's wedding in Austin, where at the bachelor party Joe and Andrew jammed on the guitar and spit bars, picking up right where they left off in college. Fun Fact: Andrew plays the guitar and produces his own music!
Tyler Fefee
Groomsman
Joe and Tyler met in college at Clarkson, having a lot of the same classes together, and Tyler in the Air Force ROTC program. They both had a lot of long study sessions together before exams, and even more fun nights out on the town. They remained close after college, constantly talking about their car troubles and justifying owning old German sedans. Fun Fact: Tyler served in Italy and Germany in the Air Force for four years!
