Isabella & Darren
Wedding Party
Sophia Slade-Ilaria
Maid of Honor
Though I'm over 2 years older in age, Sophie's almost a foot taller in height! My partner-in-crime from the start, we grew up holding "fashion shows" and "dance concerts" that thankfully were recorded so they could never be forgotten. We haven't lived closer than a plane ride away in over 6 years and yet we've continued to find ways to remain close...aka daily Snapchats!
RJ Sepich
Best Man
We first met through a 'roommate matching service' prior to freshman year at Pitt. We share a love for all things Pittsburgh and have been close friends since our first day on campus.
Sanela Ombasic
Bridesmaid
Most known for our extremely bright colored carpets, we were probably the best matched freshman roommates at F&M. From our afternoon naps to eating way too much at Pandini's or Dhall, Sanela and I were inseparable throughout college and I became the "triplet" to the twins. I could not have survived college without her by my side!
Luke Helm
Groomsman
Luke and I also met on the first day of undergrad. After living across the hall from each other in our freshman dorm, we lived together off-campus for the next three years. Despite Luke being an Eagles, Flyers, and Phillies fan, he remains one of my best friends!
Arnela Ombasic
Bridesmaid
My second freshman roommate through association and I couldn't have been luckier! Through our long late-night talks and attempts to get me to speak Croatian, Arnela became one of my best friends. Although we've gone from seeing each other daily to being separated for months at a time, being together makes it feel like no time has passed at all!
Michael Williams
Groomsman
One of two older brothers and father of Jr. Groomsman Blake, Ring Bearer Mason, and Flower Girl Marleigh.
Julia Major
Bridesmaid
From enemies to besties, Julia has been in my life since she had a two-year-old mushroom cut and my voice was like Minnie Mouse! Growing up in the same neighborhood, we experienced everything from lake parties, trick or treating and Christmas caroling together. I'm thankful for our neighborhood walks with the dogs and priceless "photo shoots."
Derrick Flegal
Groomsman
One of two older brothers and father of Flower Girls Jocelyn and Gabrielle.
Allison Rella
Bridesmaid
Allie and I met at the Welcome Weekend for admitted students at UNC and I knew immediately that I had met someone that would be a best friend! Despite not having a single graduate class together, we make up for it with homework dates that end in more talking than working, and work outs at the gym (with similar issues).
Kevin Birmingham
Groomsman
Who let another Philadelphia sports fan in the wedding party?! Kevin has become one of my closest friends while living in North Carolina. We've coached together and both work in the Special Education Department at Green Hope High School.
Blake Williams
Jr. Groomsman
Blake is the oldest of my nieces and nephews. As he's grown, we've bonded closely over Pitt athletics, learning how to play football and wrestle, and sleepovers at GG and Pappy Dave's houses.
