Wedding Party
Russell Leone
Co- Best Man
Just like their grandfathers, Russell will be riding shotgun with AJ on his special day. They have been friends since 5 years old, being born only two streets from one another. After finishing his collegiate career at MVCC, Russell moved down to Tampa to join AJ on their professional journeys (professional partying) as roommates. After many moves, they still find themselves only living 7 minutes from eachother. Russ has always been there for AJ & Jordan and they wouldn't have it any other way. His contagious laugh and kind heart will hopefully remain close for years to come!
Nate Hughes
Co- Best Man
Nate and AJ have been shootin` pucks, riding wheelers, and causing trouble since UTICA hockey in 1995. They started their journey as teammates, which continued through as best friends. AJ was Nate's best man at his wedding and currently serves as the Godfather to his youngest son Liam. One day AJ hopes his son has sleepovers at Liam's for two weeks straight just like he did with Nate... AJ couldn't ask for a better friend to stand by his side on his special day.
Jr Woodard
Groomsman
Jr and AJ go back to the 6th grade where they started walking home from school. On the way home, they always seemed to land at the Abrahams... crazy, when they make their way back to Utica they still tend to make it to the Abrahams after a night out. They always seemed to make their way into trouble but were quickly able to get out of it... especially that time Billy (you'll meet him soon) drank a little too much before the football game or the times at Hobart when things got a little crazy. Nonetheless, AJ couldn't be more excited to have his PIC (Partner in Crime) stand by him on his special day.
Brian Bostic
Groomsman
Bozzy's story is similar to Jr's. Walking home, hanging at the Abrahams and causing trouble. Bozzy and AJ graduated HS (surprisingly) and moved on to college in Delhi where they became roommates and played lacrosse. When AJ moved to Tampa, Bozzy's favorite thing to do was to come to visit for extended periods of time where he soon became a fan favorite to the Tampa crew always bringing the energy to "Daddy's Favorite Show", the annual Gasparilla parade. Bozzy has always been a great friend that AJ can count on and couldn't be more excited for him to bring the energy on the big day!
Billy Lou Slawson
Groomsman
The above members of the crew acquired William shortly after he moved to Whitesboro from Marcy. Billy always being a good boy was a little shocked when he first joined the squad but fit in quickly... we all knew he was a good one ever since that time he had to serve a suspension and didn't rat any of us out. Years later, AJ invited Billy to his college graduation in Tampa where he had a little too much fun... some know the story, but it's best if you ask Billy when you see him. But let's just say his tale has been told in Tampa for years. Billy is truly a stand-up guy and we can't wait for him to have his contagious smile at the alter with us!
Greg Griffo
Groomsman
Griff and AJ met the first night in Tampa at a party off-campus. From that night on, they were a one, two combo on and off the lacrosse field. If AJ scored, Griff assisted, if Griff scored, well AJ didn't assist he probably alley dodged and rolled back left... and missed the net (jk All America). Since the first night, Greg has been a great friend even though he left AJ in Ybor one Halloween and can't wait to have Greg on the team at the alter!
Josh Noga
Groomsman
Josh is AJ's future brother-in-law and Jordan's oldest brother. Josh is also Harper's dad. Josh loves visiting Florida especially now that he is a disc golf enthusiast and there is a course less than a mile from Jord and AJ's house. Jordan and AJ are excited to continue our new thanksgiving tradition that started with Josh, Jaron and Harp. AJ and Jordan are so happy Josh will be part of the best day of their lives.
Jaron Noga
Groomsman
Jaron is AJ's future little brother-in-law and Jordan's youngest brother. Jordan and Jaron have been best friends since they were little. Jordan watched Jaron during every break and summer break growing up. Jaron was always hanging with Jordan and all her friends and they always tortured him. AJ and Jordan are so happy to have Jaron be part of their day!
Lindsey Leone
Maid of Honor
Linds and Jord have been best friends since homeroom 6th grade. They instantly were inseparable once meeting each other. They’d spend days and days at each other's houses, especially in the summers. They loved playing sports together and were definitely a dynamic duo on the basketball court. Through all the ups and downs and the big move, they’ve been best friends through it all. Linds is known for having a huge heart, always working out and for having a voice of an angel. Jord couldn’t imagine her wedding day without her by her side.
Gianna Dellerba
Bridesmaid
Gianna was Jord’s first best friend after moving to Marcy and starting public schools. Jord used to spend a lot of time at Gianna’s whether it was dinner, a sleepover, or just to hangout. Gianna is always someone you can count on no matter what and she’ll always be the girl you go to hear the truth. Jord couldn’t imagine this day without her by her side. We can't wait for Gianna to bring the energy on the big day!
Emily Tardugno
Bridesmaid
Emily has been one of Jordan's best friends since PT school. No one knows the pain of PT school more than someone who has done it with you. lol. Many laughs, cries, break downs through PT school have brought these two girls closer and closer. When Jordan first moved to Florida Emily stayed with her for 3 weeks to explore and celebrate the move. Emily has one of the sweetest souls and would do anything for any of her friends. Jord is so grateful that she can be part of the best day of her life.
Lauren Schultz
Bridesmaid
Best friends since pre-school at the Gingerbread House. Our mothers were best friends and of course, they had to be each other's first best friends. Jordan was even there to see Lauren get on the bus for her first day of kindergarten. They took a picture together that day that will forever be reenacted. Through all the years, they would attend each other's bday parties and grow closer and closer. From preschool graduation, high school graduation, and now to being part of each other's weddings. Jord couldn't imagine not having Lauren being part of her wedding. Lauren is known for her contagious laugh and for always being down to party. Jordan is forever grateful for their mother's bringing them together. We cant wait for Lauren to bring the energy on the wedding day!
Danielle Commisso
Bridesman
Friends since Marcy Deerfield Cheerleading LOL. Jord and Danielle were partners in crime throughout the years and they have many memories of going on family trips together. Danielle and Jordan used to watch Jaron in the summers and they could always convince him to do whatever they wanted. No matter the distance Danielle and Jordan have been besties through it all. Danielle is the "mom" of the group. She is always there to lend a hand, will never miss an important event, and loves her friends with all of her heart. Jord couldn't imagine not having her partner in crime by her side on her wedding day.
Marissa Filletti
Bridesmaid
Mariss and Jord became friends during Marcy Deerfield cheerleading but became even closer after playing Marcy Deerfield Softball together and Marissa's dad was the coach. He would make them pitch and catch to each other in the yard all the time. They used to spend hours talking to each other on the phone when they were younger. Mariss is always the friend to call for a heart-to-heart. She will always give you advice and she'll always make you laugh. The day would be incomplete without Marissa.
Alyssa Trad
Bridesmaid
Since playing basketball in middle school, Jordan and Alyssa have been best friends. They instantly clicked. Alyssa, Lindsey, Lindsay, and Jordan spent a lot of time together playing basketball throughout the years. Despite being close to 1000 miles apart and in different time zones throughout college and now, they have always managed to stay connected and get together at home. Jordan knows Alyssa will always be someone to count on. Jordan cant wait to have Alyssa be part of the wedding day.
Harper Noga
Junior Bridesmaid
Harper is the sweetest most energetic little girl. Aj and Jordan love her with all their heart and they couldn't imagine harp not being part of the big day!
