Maz is a paralegal and lives with her husband John and their two young children, Francesca and Giovanni, in Naples, Florida (USA).

Giulio Penna
Groomsman
Guido had the honor and the luck to meet Giulio, his martial arts Sensei, in September of 2002. Through the years, thanks to him, his friendship and his teachings, inside and outside the Dojo, Guido was able to learn how to be the better, stronger, kinder version of himself. He works as a Defense Attorney in Benevento and lives in Apollosa, Italy, with his wife Rossella and their two kids, Alessio and Ambra.
Arnaldo Palombi
Groomsman
Guido's older brother Arnaldo has always been the model he aspired to be: smart and precise, affable and friendly, always true at heart, he shares with Guido that unbreakable connection that only brothers can have, one that no distance, time or hardships can't ever hope to shade. He shares with Guido, among many other things, the passion for martial arts and the Star Wars universe, of which he possesses an almost unparalleled knowledge. He works as an Engineer in Benevento, Italy, and is married to his dear wife Ioana.
