Wedding Party
Jon Redick
Best Man
Blood: I know it's a weird title, but how else do you define a friend so close he becomes your family? Jon and I met after a pick up basketball game in college. I'm pretty sure he asked for some tips and advice, but he'd never admit that. Jon is the dude that will tell you everything you might not want to hear, but may possibly, at some point, need to hear. He's blunt, but he's also the guy that buys you a 32 oz fountain drink everyday at college because you're trying to watch your spending and a 34 cent expense might just cut too deep into your account. Haha. I could go on and on with crazy stories from the last 8 years, but all in all, Jon's become a brother to me.
Jose Cruz
Best Man
The Care Taker: Best Man for a day, brother for life. As brothers, Jose and I have grown extremely close. Though we may not always enjoy the same things, hanging with Jose is always one of my favorite things to do. He has always been there for me. Only thing bigger than this guys heart is his stomach. FYI, Jose ALWAYS has the scoop on the best shows. If your TV entertainment life is dull, find Jose. He will literally spruce up your life. Haha.
Freddy Cruz
Groomsman
Silent but Deadly: This man showed me how much I hate to lose, inevitably teaching me how to win. He doesn't say much but he's one of the strongest men I know. He's always known for his wild comments only the person next to him can hear.
David Stevens
Groomsman
The Comedian: If Dave were a foot shorter and about 5 shades darker, he could be as funny as Kevin Hart. Dave and I go way back. Just 15 years ago, we were two chubby kids playing basketball in the backyard. If the reception doesn't catch your interest, find the 6'1" dude with perfect hair, he'll juice up the party for you.
Trevant McCloud
Groomsman
The Eater: If you find Tre at the reception without food in his hand, you're seeing a miracle. He is the brother-in-law to the groom and father of our flower girl. Tre loves playing sports and hanging with family. Don't let his height fool you, he's a big softie.
Gary Mignogna, Jr.
Groomsman
Buddy, the Elf: If you don't know Bud yet, you're in for a treat. Be ready for a few high fives. :)
Landon Hendrigsman
Jr. Groomsman
Red Lightning: Have you seen this kids hair!? Landon, is one of a kind. He's as smart as he is cool. I'm convinced he has read more books than I have. When you meet him, you might just be meeting the next Steve Jobs.
Emily Mignogna
Bridesmaid
Em & Em: To the girl who steals my clothes more than anyone. If you want to hear some of the most sarcastic comments, find Emily at the wedding. She'll be sure to surprise you. Don't confuse her with the twins or she'll be upset. Haha. She's a unique individual and you'll love her for it. I'm sure she's counting down the days till June 14th so she can have my room. Just a little longer Em and it's all yours.
Heather Mignogna
Jr. Bridesmaid
Thing 1 : The mom of the twins. I mean come on she is 9min older! Don’t wear your feelings on your sleeve or Heather will snatch it away with her intimidating stares and sarcastic comments. Don’t take it serious, she’s a sweetie!
Lydia Mignogna
Jr. Bridesmaid
Thing 2: Lydia is the definition of a sweetheart, but our firecracker (you gotta be when you’re the youngest of 5!). P.S she is an amazing baker so don’t be surprised if we just have her make the cake for the wedding.
Amy Mignogna
Matron of Honor
Mom: To the woman who brought me into this world- I couldn't think of a more fitting woman to be my matron of honor than you. Towards the end of high school, our relationship began to grow and I viewed you more as a friend than a mother (except when I got in trouble). Since then, I have continued to share almost every detail of my life with you. She is the best listener there is, almost to the point where she doesn't even give advice back. You just go in, rant, and leave. Haha. A personal therapist. She is a perfect role model to me in every area of life. I always say it, but I want to be at least half of the woman you are. I truly believe she is the closest thing to perfection. Because of this, I want her standing by my side on one of the best days of my life. I love you Mom.
Jessica DeVita
Bridesmaid
Lakeisha : aka the mom of the group. Sweetest, most giving person I've met. First time I met you we texted each other in Spanish when we were right next to each other, and now look where its led! Now that I've been a bridesmaid in your wedding, it's time for you to be in mine ;)
Teresa Lomanno
Bridesmaid
Teresa (without an h) : My first friend I met at Calvary; an awkward 15 min conversation about brownies, that led to a forever friendship. She even helped me get ready for my first date with Jeff and attempted to calm my nerves (didn't work) haha. If you see her, make sure to ask her to sing you a song!
Destiny Cruz
Bridesmaid
The Tiny: Jeff and Destiny are as close to twins as it gets. If they aren't rolling over laughing about something no one else has caught on to yet, the odds are, they are coming up with an inside joke for next time. Destiny is a great athlete (thanks to the groom), the amazing mother to our beautiful flower girl, and Jeff's treasured little "Sissy". If you're looking for someone to calm your nerves with a song, find Destiny, she won't let you down.
Aria Quinn
Flower Girl
Baby Butt: Jeff refused to hold you for the first few months of your life because he was afraid his "big, strong" biceps would crush your tiny self lol. Aria is the happiest little baby. If you're having a bad day, just glance at Aria, she'll make you smile from ear to ear. Make sure to cheer her on while she walks down the isle :)!
