Holly & Rocco
Wedding Party
Alana Berlinrut
Maid of Honor
Alana is Holly's older sister and first best friend. Don't be surprised if you catch these two doing weird dance moves or finishing each other's sentences. They are two peas in a pod. Alana is married to Brandon Berlinrut and has a son named Bobby and a daughter on the way!
Dante Taliani
Best Man
Dante is Rocco’s younger brother, best man and best friend. Dante is Rocco’s right hand man. If it wasn’t for their height difference you may have difficulties telling them apart. They may be the only two people on Earth that understand all of the same movie references and laugh at each other’s jokes. Dante is married to bridesmaid Jenna.
Jaclyn Jacobsen
Bridesmaid
Jaclyn is the younger sister of Bridesmaid, Jenna. She has grown up as Holly's "adopted" younger sister and has become one of her dearest friends as well. She works in the medical field and is Holly's go-to for any lumps or bumps! Thanks Jackie!! lol
Joe Zukosky
Groomsman
Joe and Rocco met while working at Bonefish Grill where they formed a bond as close as brothers. They were known to close down the local bar on any given night of the week before capping the night off at the waffle house. Joe’s bar closing days are behind him as he is now a first responder as a fireman for Pasco County. Joe and his wife Madison have two beautiful children Harper and Hudson.
Amber Woller
Bridesmaid
Amber and Holly work together at Welbilt. She has become one of Holly's best friends. They literally spend every day with each other and never get sick of it! Amber is from Green Bay, WI, so forgive her for stealing your cheese or pronouncing words a little weird-it's not her fault. She welcomed her first child in May 2020. He is the sweetest little guy with the biggest smile!
Ely Payne
Groomsman
Ely is Rocco’s longest friend. They met on the sidelines of their older sister’s soccer games at the ripe young age of 3. Rocco looks at Ely and his family as an extension of his own. Ely has been a giant part in most of Rocco’s greatest memories growing up and continues to be part of them. Ely is the best friend anyone could ask for and always has had a way of bringing people together and being the life of the party. Ely and his wife Shelby are parents to the sweetest baby girl Reese.
Jenna Taliani
Bridesmaid
Jenna has been Holly's best friend since 7th grade. You can find them singing Billy Joel, Celine Dion, or Disney Songs at the top of their lungs at any given moment. Fun fact: Holly set up Jenna with Rocco’s brother and they hit it off. They just got married in March 2021. Hollys evil plan to become real sisters worked! :)
Elliott Leniton
Groomsman
If you ask Rocco's mom how many sons she has, she'd probably tell you 3: Rocco, Dante, and Elliott! Rocco met Elliott playing soccer at only 8 years old and they grew up right alongside each other ever since! Their childhood was filled with soccer games, adventure island trips, sleepovers, and building lego cities until the middle of the night! Elliott married his beautiful bride Shawna in February of this year!
Madison Harris
Bridesmaid
Madison and Holly have known each other pretty much their whole lives (because her mother was Holly's dance teacher when she was little) but as they got older they have become closer and closer. She is one of Holly's best friends. She owns two of Tampa Bay's top dance schools, so feel free to challenge her to a dance off... however, prepare to lose. She is a dog mom of two of the cutest corgis in town- Tyrone and Phoebe!
Tyler Mitchell
Groomsman
Tyler is Rocco’s brother-in-law, married to his oldest sister Jennifer. Tyler is not only Rocco’s brother-in-law but one of his closest friends. Tyler is one of the most intelligent and determined people you will meet and has the most infectious laugh you will ever hear. Tyler lives in Seattle with his wife Jennifer and their two children Emma and Jacob.
Krissy Vitale
Bridesmaid
Krissy and Holly went to the same dance school- however they didn't become great friends until later in life. Krissy was Holly's roommate for a year- and FAVORITE at that! She is the biggest goof ball and if you ever had an embarrassing moment in life, I'm sure she has a video of it! You can find Krissy cheering on the Bucs as a former professional cheerleader. Ask her to do an aerial!
Jordan Glover
Groomsman
Jordan and Rocco met through bridesmaid Patricia to whom he is married. She was working an event for Rocco and he needed some extra help so she brought her future husband Jordan. Jordan and Rocco were in sync instantly and have become the best of friends since. Jordan is the type of friend that anyone would be lucky to have. He is the most thoughtful and generous person you will ever meet.
Pamela Battistini
Bridesmaid
Pamela went to High School with Holly and became one of her best friends in 11th grade. Where do we start with Pamela? There is no one in the world like her- you'll know what I mean when you meet her. I just hope you're not easily offended. (LOL). She is Holly's crazy twin. Pam just welcomed her first child in March 2020. Aurora will be one spoiled little girl by Titi Holly!
Zach Mason
Groomsman
Zach and Rocco met during their freshman year of high school in drafting class. They immediately hit it off and have been close friends ever since. Zach currently lives in a quaint part of Tennessee with his hound Morris and basically stays off the grid.
Angela Jota
Bridesmaid
Angela is the 2nd oldest sister of the groom. There are two things Angela never turns down- a glass a wine and a chance to have a good time! You will definitely see her out on the dance floor! Holly is very excited to add another sister to her life! Angela is married to groomsman, Robert Jota, and they have a 3-year old son named Jameson.
Brandon Berlinrut
Groomsman
Brandon is Rocco’s soon to be brother-in-law, married to Holly’s sister Alana. One of Rocco’s goals in life is to get Brandon to eat his vegetables, finding creative ways to disguise them into things he will willingly eat. Brandon is an officer in the US Army and a true stand-up guy. He and Alana have an amazing son Bobby and are welcoming a baby girl into this world this fall.
Jennifer Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Jenny is the oldest sister of the groom. She is the sweetest person on earth- unless you cut her in the monorail line at Disney. She has a huge heart and often the voice of reason. Holly feels so blessed to add Jenny as a sister. Jenny lives in Seattle, WA with her husband Tyler and two children- Emma and Jake.
Rob Robinson
Groomsman
Rob met Holly while working at Veredus. The first time she ever met him was at the office Halloween party where Rob was dressed as a giant baby. It was love at first sight. They have been besties ever since. Rob was supposed to be a bridesmaid but the dress didn't fit him right, so we made him a groomsman instead.
Kimberly Dean
Bridesmaid
Kimberly, or, "Kimber of the Jungle" as Holly calls her, is a small but mighty force. You can find her up at any time of night or day- she never sleeps! You can find her at 4 AM vacuuming her house, or at 11 PM baking a cake. She is the energizer bunny. If there is anyone who knows absolutely every detail in Holly's life- it is Kim! She lives with her husband Alick and son Hank.
Robert Jota
Groomsman
Robert is married to Rocco's older sister Angela. He is the Spanish translator of the family- which was helpful on a recent trip to Puerto Rico! Robert is the kind of guy that shows up for you no matter what and has your back. He is a true blessing to the family and a brother to Rocco.
Patricia Glover
Bridesmaid
Patricia (Pati) is like a little sister to the bride. She is the actual little sister of another bridesmaid, Pamela Battistini, but Holly also claims her! She is a whole lot of personality in one small body! She is a foodie and enjoys anything that Chef Rocco is willing to make her!
Nick Piloto
Groomsman
Nick and Rocco met while Rocco was the Chef for Saltblock Catering and Nick was an ops manager at the Glazer Children’s Museum. Nick and Rocco’s friendship blossomed through candied bacon and pork belly. Nick is one of the most passionate individuals you will ever meet. If something interests him, he will fully immerse himself in it whether its making the perfect Sunday sauce or building an intricate iron staircase. Rocco and Holly think of Nick as the most interesting man in the world. Nick lives in Seattle with his wife Shannon and their three amazing children Lilly, Johnny and Rocco.
