Bride
When Sal showed up early to support my best buddy's walk, it was a defining moment for me. His unwavering support and willingness to pitch in highlighted the kind of partner he is. Sal has been my rock, always knowing how to calm my high-strung nature and help me take a breath when I need it most. Family means everything to us, and I'm grateful for the warmth and love I've received from his side. With Sal, I feel cherished and valued every day, his love making me feespecial, smart, and beautiful. I can't wait to tackle life's challenges together as husband and wife, and to continue our adventure side by side, every step of the way.

I am excited to share this special day with all of you! Haley and I met at Florida State University when our fraternity and sorority were pomping partners. Our relationship grew over time from there. Today we live in Denver, Colorado where we enjoy going out to eat, taking our dog on walks, and spending time exploring Colorado. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with Haley as she is a great person that is both fun to be with and cares as well and I feel so lucky to have found her.
Maid of Honor
Meet my incredible Maid of Honor, Gloria She's not just my future sister-in-law; she's been a friend and confidante for over seven years. From her middle school days to conquering the adventures of college, we've shared countless memories together. I am beyond grateful to have her by my side as we embark on this journey to marriage, and I can't wait to celebrate our special day surrounded by her love and support!
Best Man
We're delighted to introduce you to a very special person in our lives, the best man and the bride's little brother. Cooper and Sal have developed a close friendship over the years and now they can call themselves brothers!
Best Man
Bryan and Sal have been friends since the 4th grade. They have always bonded over football and having fun with friends. They both attended Florida State University where they rushed the same fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. Bryan has always been a loyal and protective friend to Sal and has always above all else had Sal's back throughout it all.
Bridesmaid
Our friendship began at a sisterhood retreat at Kappa Kappa Gamma, where we instantly connected and became the best of friends. Lauren embodies warmth and nurturing, always there with a comforting presence whenever a friend is in need. Though she now resides in West Palm working as a nurse, distance has never dulled the bond we share. One of our fondest memories together was experiencing the ICONIC Taylor Swift eras tour, followed by cozy evenings enjoying birria tacos (delivered by sal) and binge-watching Jersey Shore. Lauren, your unwavering support and friendship mean the world to Sal and I, I can't imagine my special day without you by my side!
Bridesmaid
Our friendship began unexpectedly when we realized we were living just a floor apart, and it blossomed when we both joined Kappa Kappa Gamma in spring 2017. Since then, Katie has been a constant source of support and strength in my life. They say you truly love someone when you survive 24+ hours deliriously dancing together at a Dancemarathon, and that's just one of the many adventures we've shared. From late nights at the townhouse to hitting club Strozier Library during our pandemic MBA experience and undergrad marketing days, Katie has been by my side through it all. Now, as a senior account manager at a PR firm in Miami, she continues to shine brightly in everything she does. Katie's reliability, infectious enthusiasm, and ability to embrace authenticity make her an invaluable friend. I'm incredibly grateful for her friendship and support of sal and my relationship over the last 7 years. I couldn't be happier to have you as a part of my bride tribe.

Jessica isn't just a friend; she's a forever kind of friend. Not only was she my trusted mentor in accounting, but she embodies the values of Kappa - love, friendship, and loyalty. Our bond was forged during the rollercoaster of recruitment in 2017, huddled together in the hallways and eagerly awaiting bid day. Memories of your apartment at 601 Copeland are etched in my heart, especially the legendary 21st birthday celebration you hosted for me. Thanks for braving the tailgates with me- I always kept my promise of TP and soap waiting for you in Sal’s vip suite lol. As a CPA in Asheville, you continue to inspire me with your brilliance and dedication. Despite the distance, you've always been there for me, lighting up every room with your presence. Having you by my side on my wedding day is an absolute must because you have a knack for bringing joy and warmth wherever you go. Sal and I love ya<3
Bridesmaid
Joco and I became total study buddies after joining Kappa, and we were pretty much inseparable at Dirac ever since. Honestly, I don't know how I would've made it through those tough times without her by my side. Jordan's not just caring; she's genuinely herself, always bringing out the best in everyone around her. Whenever life got rough, Joco was there to lift me up and remind me of my worth. Our bond got even tighter when she was a team lead, paving the way for Katie and me as Rho Gams and being our emotional support person through the long days. The best time was our trip to St George Island- Blue parrot daiquiris with your mom was unmatched! And guess what? Our connection didn't end there – Jordan found her soulmate while we were hanging out at Phi Psi (Sal’s frat)! Sal and I are beyond grateful to have you both in our lives, and we can't wait to celebrate this big day with you!
Bridesmaid
If there was a 'Real Housewives of Phi Psi,' Ali and I would totally be the stars. We practically became neighbors with Alec and Sal living next door to each other, and ever since, we have bonded over the struggle of living in a fraternity house. Throughout her time at Florida State, Ali has been the sweetest and friendliest gal around, making her and Alec our go tos for double dates! Fun fact Ali was there when Sal and I adopted Naty and we credit her for coming up with the name Naty short for Natural Light (a true frat hound) Ali and I both geek out over Taylor Swift, and one of my all-time favorite memories with her is from her wedding night when the 10-minute version of 'All Too Well' dropped – we were absolutely mesmerized by the masterpiece. When Ali's not rocking out to TSwift, she's busy teaching her awesome elementary school kiddos (best teacher ever!!). Ali, thanks for always being so inclusive and for being such a sweet friend over the years. Sal and I feel seriously lucky to have you guys in our lives!
Bridesmaid
Moving to Colorado was a big leap for me, but meeting Lexie at work felt like hitting the jackpot. What started as casual girls' nights soon blossomed into an amazing friendship, not just with Lexie but with her husband Austin too. Lexie is the kind of friend who would drop everything to lend a hand, and I experienced this firsthand when Sal was out of town – they helped me haul our massive 65-inch TV up the stairs without hesitation. From celebrating birthdays together to chance encounters at the Denver airport refusing to leave one another to wait on luggage, Sal and I feel like you're family. Thank you, Lexie, for being there for me on my wedding day!
Bridesmaid
They say that everything happens for a reason, and despite the challenges we faced working at Chick-fil-A, I'm forever grateful it led me to my dear friend, Miss Addy! Addy, a talented writer, possesses an eloquence that never fails to captivate. Whenever we catch up, it feels like no time has passed at all. Our annual tradition of visiting each other has taken us on adventures throughout Colorado and Nashville, where we've experienced unforgettable moments, from seeing icons like John Mulaney and John Mayer to simply enjoying each other's company. Amidst our countless fun nights out, my favorite memory with Addy was picking out pumpkins at the patch, toasting seeds, and carving them on a cozy fall evening. Now, you can find Addy making waves at Vanderbilt University and check out her recent print articles! Addy, you're the little sister I've always wanted, bringing fun and joy to everything you do. I couldn't be happier to have you by my side on the big day, Naty, Sal, and I <3 ya. Cheers to many more cherished moments together!
