Bride

Peter Chiarpotti

Groom

Kira Levey

Maid of Honor

Not only one of the most down to earth, but the most thoughtful, smart, genuine, generous, caring individuals you’ll ever come across. She is the first person I call when anything happens in my life. She takes on every burden as her own and will fix any problem. I believe in angels because she exists. If someone doesn’t get along with Kira, I’m highly cautious of their morals. My biggest supporter, my best friend, my idol, my big sister. I knew she had to be my maid of honor! I’m so lucky she said yes!!! Get to know her! ♥️😍

Valerie Shinn

Maid of Honor

The most solid person I’ve ever met. Valerie cares for everyone. Her huge heart makes you feel like you’re family instantly. She is an amazing mother, daughter, sister, wife, and friend. She’s hilarious and smart and will put you in your place right when you deserve it. Her stunning looks are jaw dropping, she compliments you without being fake, she makes any room feel like home. I didn’t think we could get any closer, but my love for her has become more than I can even measure. Shes my family. She’s the only one I will face time with weekly, because being away from her and her family feels unnatural. Her being my Maid of honor was no question! I love this woman!

Jami Elwell

Bridesmaid

Puma!!! The list of things I love about her is too long to write, Jami will out wit you in any debate. Don’t let her stunning beauty distract from her brilliant mind.... Our friendship has grown every year. When we first met, we’d dance, we’d go out, we’d dress up... She knows all my secrets, and I trust her with every piece of my heart. She now lives across the country and remains one of my most faithful friends. She’s someone you want to be around. Her presence has always made me feel at home. The fact that she shows up every single time for me, no matter what, brings me to tears. I’m so grateful for her friendship. I am comforted knowing she will be by my side on this special day.

Jamie Bratton

Bridesmaid

My Beautiful Bestie, my BB! Jamie is the kind of friend that will cry with you, laugh with you, your pain is hers, and her heart couldn’t be bigger. Her quick humor will have you left speechless, wondering how someone can be so stunning, funny, creative, and talented leaving you longing to be in her presence. She’s captivating. She makes people better. Her relationship with Peter makes me smile so big. She raps, she dances, she makes a house a home, she makes things grow. She is the one who made me want to be a mother, and I thank her for sharing her life with me; I truly don’t know how I got so lucky to know her.

Joline Welch

Bridesmaid

My big sissy! Sensitive and sweet, caring and giving. Whatever you need she will provide... She’s pathed the path for the woman and mother I want to be. The morals, values, and traditions live on in our family because of her. She loves hard, she feels deep, she is articulate and spiritual. I always want her to be proud of the woman I am, because who I am is shaped from what I learned from her. She is my sister, but also my role model. I feel so loved and inspired by her. She is my safe place, and I know she will always be there for me.

Tara Chiarpotti

Bridesmaid

Pete’s big sister. Slightly intimidating because of her strong stature and gorgeous face. When she loves you you feel protected, she makes sure you are included and heard. She has become a sister to me and someone I can tell anything to. Her honesty and sincerity is precious to me, and I’m grateful for every moment in her presence. I can’t wait to marry her brother and make her officially my sister!

Natalie Robinson

Bridesmaid

The Yin to my Yang. My cousin, my love. Polar opposites on the surface, Halloween baby/Valentine’s baby, brunette/blonde, brown eyes/blue, loves the spotlight/ hates attention... She has always entertained any crazy, off the wall/spit ball idea I’ve ever had. She’s been my whole childhood. My favorite memories, my person... Dress up, make up, boys, secrets, pinky promises she’s always been there. No matter distance or time In between she always knows the place she holds in my heart. She’s gorgeous, smart, and I love every second I spend with her. I’m so happy she’s by my side for this day!

Vinnie Chiarpotti

Best Man

Peters P.I.C Making up lyrics to every song, knowing what the other is thinking with a single look. Inside jokes, love of cooking, love of family isn’t measured with the love they have for each other. It could be days, weeks, or months...they never miss a beat. Vinnie loves Peter more than anyone and their relationship is the most beautiful display of understanding you will ever see.

Dustin Shinn

Best Man

How many words do we have to describe this man?! He loves Peter. They speak their own language, they laugh harder, jump higher, encourage and challenge each other. From roommates in their early 20’s to being at every monumental moment in each other’s lives, this friendship is unmatched. Dustin is a family Man, with morals and values. He makes silly songs, and simple routines fun with his charismatic flare; if you meet him, get to know him. He has the most genuine heart, Pete’s biggest supporter. He’s become the solid foundation in our friendship and we are so lucky to have him after all these years as our friend. Thanks D! No question you’re the best man!!!
