Alyssa & Josh
Wedding Party
Kelsea DiGiacomo
Maid of Honor
I met Kelsea at a house party when Josh moved to Jacksonville and to say that I was nervous to meet her is a huge understatement. Josh and Kelsea were more like family then friends and she had not liked one of Josh’s ex-girlfriends and being from Jersey she was not afraid to speak up about it. At first, I was hesitant and shy, not wanting to make a bad impression. But as it turns out I had nothing to worry about we instantly bonded and spent the whole night in the kitchen dancing together and taking shots something that has not changed that much over the years. I am so thankful to have Josh in my life but I am also beyond grateful that he brought this amazing person with him who I consider family. She is my maid of honor, best friend and sister and I couldn't imagine my life any other way.
Matt DiGiacomo
Best Man
Matt and I grew up together in Crystal River, FL. We attended the same Elementary, Middle, and High School and we got really close around our Junior year of High School. When we graduated and decided that Gainesville, FL would be the next destination and best place for all of us to start our next chapter in life. We had so many adventures living together in that loft that helped make me the man I am today. Matt eventually left Gainesville to join the Navy which took him here to Jacksonville and then I found my job/career in Jacksonville as well where the journey and friendship has continued. You've had a lot of influence on my life and there are so many unforgettable stories that we have had together and that is why you are my best friend and Best Man.
Brittany Fleming
Bridesmaid
Brittany is my older sister and she has been such an important person in my life! She made me the strong woman I am today and I as I stood by her on her wedding day I am so excited for her to be by my side on mine. I could not imagine doing this without her.
Roger Jones
Groomsman
Roger and I grew up in Crystal River, FL as well. From the ripe age of 4 years old Roger and I were friends. We ended up going to different Elementary schools, but joined up again when we hit Middle School, and our friendship took off like a rocket! We played sports together all through Middle School and High School (Go Pirates), and Roger happens to be one of the best athletes that I know. When he decided to join the Navy right out of High School, I thought at the time we may lose touch because our paths were so different, but he got stationed in Jacksonville, FL and the friendship grew stronger. No matter where Roger's career took him we always stayed in touch and our friendship never skipped a beat, we always pick up right where we left off.
Katlynn Hahn
Bridesmaid
I have to thank the Navy for bringing Katlynn into my life. I did not realize my life was missing something until she showed up. She is more than a friend she is like a sister to me. And although she is miles away in sunny California she is and always will be my person.
Jake Burton
Groomsman
Jake and I met in Gainesville while working at Olive Garden, busing tables just trying to get by. Gosh, that time seems like such a distant memory, but our friendship always stayed strong. Jake was the first true friend that I made outside of my circle from Crystal River and has remained that friend all these years later.
Ashley Phillips
Bridesmaid
Ashley is one of my best friends and one of the best bosses I have ever had the pleasure to work for. Some would think that Ashley and I are an unlikely duo due to some of the debates we get into. However, I could not imagine my life without this woman in it. She is such an amazing and caring person who stands up for what she believes in and I am beyond proud to have her stand by me.
Brad Cabay
Groomsman
Brad and I met in Gainesville, FL while working at Ballyhoo Restaurant in Gainesville. The day I met Brad I knew we would be best buds, we liked all the same stuff! Brad is not only a great time and friend, but he came into my life a very pivotal crossroad. I can honestly say without some of your words of wisdom I wouldn't be where I am today.
Melissa Zanussi
Bridesmaid
I have known Melissa since 2nd grade and we have been best friends since then. She has been in my life for over 10 years and she has one of the most beautiful souls I have ever had the pleasure in knowing. I am so excited for her to be standing by me on my special day!
Aaron Charlet
Groomsman
Aaron (Charlet) and I met through Matt in Jacksonville. Both Aaron and Matt were at the same shop for about 4 years and I got to know Aaron throughout the years. I can't say that at first we were the best of buds, but our love for the Gators, sports, and music grew this friendship into the solid one that we have today. I am proud to call Charlet one of my best friends.
