Wedding Party
Stephanie Trapani
Matron of Honor
In 2015, two girls got bids to Alpha Gamma Delta, and the rest is history! We quickly went from strangers, to pledge sisters, to roommates & now standing by each others sides on our wedding days. I could not imagine my life without Steph in it. For me, Steph is synonymous with Seton Hall. She is my voice of reason, my more rationale half, and forever my favorite dinner date. Sometimes, I really think she knows me better than I know myself. It is an honor to have Steph stand by my side as my matron of honor.
Julia Quinn
Maid of Honor
I cannot pin point when Julia and I became best friends, but I also cannot remember a memory or life without her in it. Julia just gets me. Every time I need to be talked off a ledge, she is the person I text. I truly believe that all of my issues can be solved with a walk on the rail trail with her. Julia is kind, compassionate, and giving. She has a heart of gold, and I am so lucky to have her in my life. I am even more lucky to have her standing by my side on my big day, and I truly could not picture the day without her here!
Morgan Karpin
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I met in kindergarten, when we rode the bus together and discovered that I shared a backyard with her grandma. They built a trail for us to get to each other easier for after school play dates, and the rest became history. Morgan has been there for literally every stage of my life, and the laughs and jokes we have shared have been innumerable. I'll never get sick of telling people I have a best friend with the same name as me! Morgan is forever my .5 & I'm so grateful to have her be part of my day!
Kara Benicase
Bridesmaid
Kara is my oldest friend, and first "roommate". Kara & I, born two days apart, shared a hospital room & were baptized together. We found our way to each other during snoopy soccer, and have been the best of friends ever since. My favorite times with Kara have been driving around, venting about life, and ending the night with Sonic milkshakes. Kara is always a listening ear. I am so lucky to have a friendship that has existed throughout my life, and even luckier to have her next to me on my big day!
Makenzie Pelish
Bridesmaid
Kenz is the life of the party, the best storyteller I've ever met, and an all around good friend. While we didn't meet each other until she came into our friend group in college, she was the missing piece we always needed. Whether I need a good laugh, a night out, or some one to listen to hours of voice memos, Kenz is the one I can turn to. I could not be more grateful to call someone like her a friend, and it is even greater to have her be my side on my wedding day!
Brenna Berean
Bridesmaid
The oldest of my little cousins, Brenna was the first person I babysat and always more of a younger sister to me. She is smart, genuine, and hardworking. Despite our 8 year age difference, I can always count on her to rank Taylor Swift songs or recap reality TV with. I always felt so lucky growing up to have her as my cousin, and I feel even luckier to have her by my side on my wedding day!
Kelly Weeks
Bridesmaid
The middle of my little cousins. In recent years, Kelly has become one of my favorite travel buddies. She is funny, intelligent, and always willing to lend a helping hand. It has been so special to become closer with her through my wedding festivities, and growing into adults. I am so grateful to have her as my cousin, and excited to have her be a part of my special day!
Emily Berean
Bridesmaid
For every oldest cousin, there's a youngest who thinks she has the #1 grandchild spot. Emily and I have always been best buddies, despite our 12 year age difference. She is witty for her years, and I always enjoy the time we spend together. She is one of my favorite people in the world, and having her as my bridesmaid means the world to me!
Dan Schroedl
Best Man
Dan is the true definition of a 'Day 1'. Our friendship started at Care Bear Daycare, where we were always the last two to get picked up at the end of every day. As we grew up, we only got closer as we played soccer together and spent every day of elementary school hanging out. Dan and I have been through all of life's biggest milestones and chapters together, and it is an honor to have him stand by my side as my best man on my wedding day.
Matthew Bennett
Best Man
Matt is not only my cousin, but the little brother I never had. We grew up with him looking up to me, but as we've gotten older, I know I can always count on him to answer my calls and be there when I need him. Despite our constant Patriots/Bills, Red Sox/Yankees rivalry, there is never a dull moment when we hang out. As an only child, I am so lucky to have Matt in my life, and even luckier to have him serving as my best man on my wedding day.
Antonio Damore
Groomsman
I have been lucky enough to call Antonio one of my best friends since middle school. From late night shifts at pizza hut in high school and surviving architecture school together, to cruising around the Hudson Valley in our mustangs, and standing by each other's sides on our respective wedding days, to say we have been through it all would be an understatement. I am so grateful to call Antonio my friend, and even more grateful to have him by my side as my groomsman.
Ryan Flinn
Groomsman
Big Flinn! Our friendship started in middle school when we played baseball together, and it only grew as we realized our shared love for the Red Sox. Flinn is one of the realest friends you can have. Whether it was playing video games, playing airsoft, or just being dumb teenagers together, I can always remember the ‘other Ryan’ being there. We have remained solid through the years, even growing closer in adulthood, and I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without him!
Geneo Coston
Groomsman
Big G and I go all the way back to the T-Ball days. There isn’t a time with Geneo where we aren’t hysterically laughing. Any time that Geneo is around, he's the life of the party. Growing up, I could always count on him to keep me up to date with the newest hip hop music before it dropped. He shares my passion for all things cars and motorized toy related. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without his energy.
Chris Hlavaty
Groomsman
My friendship with Young Hlav began, as many of my other friendships did, on the baseball field. From the days of playing travel baseball as eight year olds, to traveling outside the country together and everything in between. Chris and I have truly been through it all together. It only makes sense to have him by my side on my wedding day, since he's been there for every life moment this far!
Colin Ivich
Groomsman
When Morgan and I started dating, I gained a little brother in the process. Colin and I became quick friends, driving around the Hudson Valley to collect wood, and sitting around the campfire together every weekend. These days, Colin and I bond during trips to visit him in Myrtle Beach and getting to see our favorite country singers live. I am excited to have him officially be my brother!
Will Kershner
Groomsman
Will was my partner in crime in college. We had many nights we'll never remember but his friendship is one I could never forget. Living with Will gave me some of the best memories of my life. He is the type of friend that will drop everything, give you the shirt off his back and make the trip whenever I ask. I am lucky to have made this friendship in adulthood, and have him by my side at my wedding.
Tim Rodriguez
Groomsman
Tim was my first roommate when I transferred to Alfred. We clicked immediately over our love for cars, trucks, and all things outdoors. From riding around aimlessly on dirt roads in Alfred, to countless days spent on the boat, I can always count on Tim for a good time. No matter how much time passes, we can always pick up the conversation where it left off. Wouldn't be my wedding day without ya, Bub!
