Dana & Michael
Wedding Party
Daniel Kane
Groomsman
Danny is Mike's older, slightly less charismatic, slightly less attractive brother. In all seriousness, even though they are twelve and half years apart, Danny has always had Mike's back. They don't see eye to eye on everything (Danny being a foot taller makes that a bit hard), they love to have "friendly" brotherly competitions, and they constantly challenge each other to improve and overcome. Over the years they've lived as close as opposite sides of a wall and as far as thousands of miles apart, but at the end of the day they are always brothers and they are always there for each other.
Dr. Jacqueline McNulty Ingram
Bridesmaid
Jacqueline and Dana have been friends for over twenty years! They met in kindergarten, attended the same school until college and grew up in the same hometown. They've enjoyed countless memories of school dances, sleep overs, beach trips, vacations, themed dinner parties at each other's homes and catch-ups over cocktails. Jacqueline has the kindest heart, remembers things Dana forgets about herself and is a timeless friend. This Starbucks fueled dancing queen is sure to keep the wedding party energized all day!
Charles Caracozza
Groomsman
Chuck has been one of Mike's best friends since Mike was in middle school. He started out as more of a chaperone but quickly grew to be one of Mike's most cherished friends. Chuck is endlessly generous with both his time and his resources, he's always willing to go the extra mile for his friends. Several years of being roommates, countless vacations, and his constantly positive attitude have made Chuck into more of a brother than just a friend, and Mike is honored to have him by his side at the altar.
Cassandra Ward
Bridesmaid
Cassandra and Dana met when they were working at the local Houlihan's back in 2013. They got to know each other through after shift drinks, Atlantic City trips, and bonding over service industry trauma! Cassandra quickly became one of Dana's best friends with her quick wit, love for animals and appreciation for 'Treat Yo'self' days. After spending a year quarantined as roommates, there's nothing their friendship can't outlast. Expect Cassandra to keep the party going with tequila shots and droppin' it low on the dance floor!
Nicholas Manzari
Groomsman
Nick has also been one of Mike's best friends since middle school. They first met when Mike moved to Branchburg during 6th grade and immediately bonded over their shared love of video games, space, and all things supernatural. In the years since, they've slain numerous digital aliens, taken several spooky road trips, and they even lived together (with Chuck!) for a couple of years, tearing up the Sunshine State. Nick brings the party wherever he is, and Mike can't wait to see his moves on the dance floor.
Kristen Blucher Esq.
Bridesmaid
Kristen and Dana met back in 2014 when Kristen came to work at Houlihan's. One day Dana asked Kristen, out of the blue, to go with her on a trip to Germany and Kristen was just crazy enough to say "sure" & they've been friends ever since! They're travel bugs who have been to Germany, Austria, Boston, and South Carolina together so far. Kristen is spontaneous, easygoing, well-traveled and absolutely brilliant so be sure to find her on the day if you’re up for a good conversation (that’s if you can keep up!).
Aaron Warmbrand
Groomsman
Mike and Aaron have been friends since Sophomore year of high school. Arron's house quickly became THE place to hang out for Mike and most of his friends. Mike will never forget how welcoming Aaron and his family were to him, and the many, many hours spent playing board games and debating the finer points of a diner menu in The Basement ™. Aaron is the kind of guy who can teach himself piano within a year, while also becoming an armature bread baker, and a wizard with a tool box, so be sure to find him if you need someone to chat with!
Thomas Fellin
Groomsman
Tom and Mike met through their love of theatre and the arts. In sophomore year of high school, both were cast as "background waitstaff" in their first big show "Me and My Girl", and they quickly became friends on set. Many late night rehearsals, improvised dance moves, and several prop spoon related incidents later and that friendship extended beyond the stage. Although Tom now lives out in Colorado, he has agreed to take on the role of groomsman and Mike is sure he'll be deserving of a standing ovation by the end of the night.
Gary Switzer
Groomsman
Gary and Mike have known each other since middle school but, really became friends in high school with the formation of The Basement Crew . Gary is a culinary wizard, constantly impressing the group chat with his grilling, roasting, and pasta-based creations. Gary's roasting isn't only limited to the kitchen however, as he will take any opportunity to issue a sick burn so watch out because the jokes will fly fast and loose. I guess you could say, "We started from the lunch room, now we here -Drake" -Mike.
