Matthew & Melissa
Wedding Party
Samantha Minnella
Maid of Honor
I asked if the seat next to Sam was taken during our first sorority meeting - the rest was history! From sisters, to roommates, to best friends, & beyond - Sam has been by my side since we met. I'd be lost without our daily phone calls and pep talks. Her support, kindness, and smile are unparalleled.
Alyssa Schafer
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and I shared a wall freshman year of college. After a few weeks of polite 'hellos' in the hallway, we bonded over a Christmas movie in our common room. Since that night, we have shared more laughs than I can count - forever my "ROOMS" and all of my heart.
Samantha Kresz
Bridesmaid
From her huge heart to her easy ability to light up any room she walks into, Samma is my go-to whenever I need a good laugh, or a shoulder to lean on. I have admired her since the moment I met her! She is my voice of reason and my alter ego all rolled up into one.
Christine Rogers
Bridesmaid
Christine is the most creative & intuitive soul I know. She understands me on a whole different level! Her witty one-liners and constant encouragement & support make her my forever friend. I thank God for Rowan bringing us together every day.
Taylor Manetti
Bridesmaid
Taylor is someone I have looked up to since before I can remember. We walked through all the stages of life together - we gave our barbies haircuts, she bought me my first beer at a bar, & she has been there for every big milestone in my life. Our wedding wouldn't be the same without her by my side. If you’re looking for us the night of, we are probably somewhere eating cheese.
Gabrielle Cusanelli
Bridesmaid
My story with Gab begins back in 2007 when we were both enrolled in the Culinary Program at Freehold High School. We have truly grown up together all these years, and have stayed by each other's side through all ups & downs. She is generous, hilarious, and supportive no matter what. I'm so lucky to call her my best friend - I know our story has a million more chapters.
Nick Hohmann
Best Man
Nicky has been so lucky to be my younger brother for 22 years now. Not only is he my brother he was also my stunt man for many years and always good for a secret when we broke something of moms... she still doesn't know about the broken fruit bowl from 13 years ago.
Justin L
Groomsman
Justin aka J Vick and I have been best friends for 19 years now. Want a good conversation? Ask him what he's not allergic to. Always a great friend through thick and thin. Never a dull moment with J Vick, he's the man to know down the shore!
Christopher Hohmann
Best Man
Chris, my older brother, welcomed me into the world with his ghostbusters car and a stone cold stunner. He's been my older brother for 28 years now and is always good for a joke and great wrestling promo.
Joey Von Sauers
Groomsman
Joey aka the the Vonster. If he's not nursing a beer, especially an angry orchard, ask to check his pulse. Joey and I have been best friends 19 years now. The token Irishman of the group.
John Filipek
Groomsman
John aka Johnny Fil aka Filiflex, him and I have been friends since high school. The ultimate ball buster and theres never a moment where theres no sarcasm. Just know with every compliment theres a zinger to follow.
James Cardello
Groomsman
James, lover of dogs, the yankees , and a fresh blazer so you can see how were great friends here, oh and of course Gabby sorry about that Gab. Always a great guy and always the life of the party.
Ryan Santos
Groomsman
Ryan aka Santos, always the best dressed man in the room.. until I arrive. Ryan and I have been good friends for 12 years now. Ryan is like a fine wine... gets better with age, thankfully his significant other Amy let him get those dance lessons, those terrible dance moves got us kicked out of far to many clubs.
