By far the funniest member of the Raucci family, Steven runs his own restaurant and still has the time to be Elyssa’s Man of Honor. He will do anything to ensure a good time for all and is the perfect candidate to support Elyssa on her journey to marriage.
Jennifer Milford
Bridesmaid
Jenn is the olive to Elyssa’s martini; they have been roommates and been through many times together. They met each other at Houlihans many years ago and have been friends ever since. There would be no wedding party without Jenn. She is fun and full of life and charm…and she also loves to play video games with Justin. We are happy to have her by our side at our wedding!

Friends for 17 years, Melissa has been a very important part of Elyssa’s life-always making her laugh! She is full of enlightening ideas and can take a great photo. They share many memories running circles at Houlihans to vacationing together. We look forward to having Melissa in our wedding.
Melinda Mastroserio
Bridesmaid
Melinda was one of the first people Elyssa met at Houlihans many years ago and now she is entering her wedding many years later. This is a friendship that has lasted for many years and this is largely in part to Melinda’s loyalty and good character. We look forward to having her in the wedding.
Kelly Scannell
Bridesmaid
Kelly is the type of person that is so kind she would do anything to help someone in need. She has two amazing kids with her fiancé JC, and Kelly has been there for all the important milestones in Elyssa’s life and she will be there for her biggest yet on her wedding day. We are honored to have Kelly standing by our side at our wedding.
Nina Arbadji
Best Woman
The one and only sister of the Groom, Nina is the sweetest person alive. There is no one else Justin would rather have by his side for his biggest day. Nina is extremely hardworking, caring and most importantly giving, and she is so excited to finally have a sister in the family. We are honored to have Nina with us for our wedding.
Jonathan Ford
Groomsman
Jonathan and Justin have always been close and have had many childhood memories together. A straight shooter and one of the most honest people you will meet, Jonathan is the perfect candidate to be a groomsman; we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Kevin Arbadji
Groomsman
A man extremely well dressed, sharp and shredded, Kevin is well versed in the attire department. But what many don’t know is he is very kind and has a big heart, which is why he was handpicked to be a groomsman. We look forward to having him in our wedding.
Anthony D’Angio
Groomsman
Justin and Anthony met in September of 1997 with a Sega GameGear and Nintendo Gameboy in opposite hands and have been best friends since. From listening to Led Zeppelin, to talking about the challenges of women, to video games and college, they have been through all the significant events of life and then some. Anthony is well versed and the ultimate perfectionist and fits very nicely in our wedding.
Ray Menzel
Groomsman
One of the most down to Earth people you will ever meet, Ray is one of the good ones. He is extremely giving and generous and can carry a great conversation. He has always been there for his friends and for Justin and he will once again be there for the biggest event of his life, standing by his side at his wedding.
Joe Raucci
Usher
Joe is closest in age to Elyssa. She has so many stories with Joe growing up and in school, which she holds dear to her heart! Joe is both unique and intelligent! He often pushes the boundaries of others expectations and it is always a surprise when he walks into a room!We are over the moon to have him be a part of the wedding! Love you Joe!!
Diana Raucci
Mother of the Bride
Diana is sweet in nature, just like her daughter. She is easy going, and doesn’t have a problem sharing the spotlight, which is why we love her so much. She is kind, thoughtful and has always made Justin a solid breakfast. She gives her all for the people she loves and is extremely loyal and we are pleased to have her in our wedding.
Michael Raucci
Father of the Bride
A very protective father, Michael has always ensured his daughter was in perfect hands and taken care of. What many don’t know is that he knows a ton, is quite intelligent and somehow allowed the “Baj Man” to marry his only daughter. As close as Michael is with his daughter Elyssa, he also shares a bond with the groom for their musical interests and collection of vinyl. We love him very much and are happy to have him by our side on our special day!
Paula Arbadji
Mother of the Groom
The Best Mother alive, Paula is the mother of the Groom and none of this would be possible without her. She goes the extra mile for everything she does and gives it 110% every single time. She is the most loving, loyal and toughest person alive and she has made this day extra special for all. We are lucky to have her in our wedding.
Joe Arbadji
Father of the Groom
A man of many hidden talents, Joe can light the room on fire with his acoustic guitar and his amazing singing voice. When you get to know him, he is very loving and caring and sometimes a softie. The father of the Groom, Joe is the catalyst for Justin’s personality and the reason for his deep appreciation for music. We love him very much and are very happy to have Joe in our wedding
