Olivia & Robert
Our Wedding Party
Julia Piccillo
Matron of Honor
Olivia met Julia in 2013 at Rutgers University where they were not only sorority sisters and roommates, but best friends. Olivia and Julia even each other out in multiple ways. From Olivia trying to keep Julia on time, to Julia keeping Olivia calm cool and collected, they are a true Yin-Yang friendship. Olivia also had the honor of being a part of Julia's wedding party in February 2022 and is overjoyed to have Julia as a part of hers. Over the last 10 years Julia has been there for Olivia through it all, and is the true definition of a friend who is always 'a phone call away.
Joseph Kern
Best Man
The details are blurry, but Joe and Rob think they first met at Rowan University in 2010 at Rob's fraternity house party. Since then, they've become inseparable. From Rob sleeping on Joe's couch to being the best man at his wedding, they've been through it all. Joe has also always been one of Rob's most thoughtful friends. Whether it be bringing back gifts from his travels or kidnapping him for his 27th birthday, Joe has always been a source of joy in Rob and Olivia's life.
Claudia Hogg
Bridesmaid
As Olivia's first sister, Claudia has been there for Olivia for as long as she can remember. Always the one to lighten any mood with her humor, Claudia has been a source of laughter for Olivia and a reminder that life isn't always so serious. Claudia is always the life of the party and is guaranteed to make this day fun and lighthearted. Olivia and Rob are so excited to have Claudia stand by their side on their special day.
Stirling Hogg
Groomsman
Olivia is so excited to have her big brother as a special part of her wedding day, but Rob might be a bit more excited to officially get a brother. Rob and Stirling first met at the Hogg family Christmas in 2017. Since then, they've had the chance to hangout all around the world. From partying in Thailand, to Stirling teaching Rob to drive a boat in Greece, to celebrating Rob’s Bachelor/Bucks party in Costa Rica.. they’ve been around the world and back. Stirling was also an instrumental part in helping Rob plan the surprise engagement of the century, on the northern beaches of Sydney, Australia.
Sophie Hogg
Bridesmaid
As the youngest Hogg sibling, Sophie has always been strong and vocal in getting what she wants out of life. This tenacity has always inspired Olivia to become better and strive for more in life. Sophie is also the highlight of any event dance floor, and so it comes as no surprise that she will complete the sister duo that brings the 'life' to the wedding party. Rob and Olivia cannot wait to have her be a part of this special day.
Jon 'JJ' Vogel
Groomsman
Jon and Rob first met at Rowan University in 2008, and were roommates at both Rowan and Drexel. One of Rob's longest (and loudest) friendships, JJ and Rob have seen each other through thick and thin. From 4am talks on his couch, to surprising Rob at his 30th in the Bahamas, JJ has always had Rob's back... and next drink in hand. Forever beer pong partners, Jon has and always will be there for Rob through the serious (and not so serious) moments in life.
Brittany Simeonoglou
Bridesmaid
Although Britt is already a sister to Rob, Olivia has had the opportunity to grow closer to her over the last 6 years and considers her to be like a sister. After many vacations, festivals, and family holidays together, Olivia is so thrilled to have Brittany stand by her on the big day and to have her become her sister (officially)!
Vince Avallone
Groomsman
Vince and Rob (infamously known as the DJ duo, The HouseFellas) are fraternity brothers who met in 2009 at Rowan University and became instant best friends. Rob and Vince became so close that Rob would frequently be found at Sunday dinner at Mama Avallone's place throughout college. You definitely won't miss Vince at the wedding, his great sense of humor and contagious laugh can be heard from miles away. From being Rob's college and shore house roommate to standing by his side on his wedding day, Vince has been one of Rob's closest friends from the very beginning.
Kasia Kern
Bridesmaid
Olivia was lucky enough to meet Kasia in the summer of 2018 when Kasia started dating Rob's friend Joe. After multiple amazing trips together to Thailand, Hawaii, Mexico and more, Kasia and Olivia have become great friends. In November 2021, Olivia & Rob had the honor of being a part of Kasia and Joe's wedding party and are both so excited to have them in their party.
Anthony Piccillo
Groomsman
Despite what they might try to tell you... Anthony and Rob were introduced by Julia and Olivia. However, after becoming fast friends it's hard to tell where it all began. Rob has known Ant for less time than most of his other groomsman, but somehow it feels like they have been friends since childhood. Ant and Rob love surfing and snowboarding together, as well as drinking margarita's at their favorite Jersey City spot 'Taqueria'.
