The Wedding Website of Kimberly Germinio and James Laubenstein

Laura Vincent

Matron of Honor

Laura "LuLu" and I have been friends since we were 3 years old! As an only child, I was sometimes lonely, but that all changed when Laura (and her sister Catie) moved in across the street. You could always find us playing outside, playing restaurant in the basement, dressing up as The Spice Girls and putting on performances, making Live, Local, Late Breaking news videos, begging for sleepovers while playing Viva Forever to our moms, and most importantly doing things with our grandmas (Marie and Nonnie) who were also best friends. Laura has always been my rock, and especially this year when my Dad passed away. I literally don't know what I would have done without her. Laura has 2 beautiful, amazing children Hunter and Lanna who I basically consider my niece and nephew. I am ecstatic to have her by my side on my wedding day. Let's keep on creating more memories! xoxo


Christopher Sherwood

Best Man

Chris and Jimmy have been friends for over sixteen years, after meeting in elementary school. They soon discovered they shared a love of watching and playing sports, traveling, and the movie "Big Daddy". Chris has been there in many stages of life, including taking engagement photos in the frigid cold! He is one of the most loyal people Jimmy knows and Jimmy couldn't be happier to have him standing by his side on his wedding day. Keep an eye out for his best man speech, which will no doubt be filled with embarrassing tales and the acclaimed foul ball story!

Caitlyn Kitts

Maid of Honor

Catie "Cakes" and I have been besties since we were 3 years old. Her older sister Laura, is my Matron of Honor. Guess you could say we were/are the 3 musketeers! There was NO doubt in my mind when it came to asking Catie to be my Maid on Honor. Catie has been the most loyal, caring, loving friend to me throughout the years. We have enjoyed trips to the Adirondacks, Boca Raton Florida, and annual New Jersey trips when we were little. Catie now lives in Buffalo, but that doesn't stop us from hanging out. We try to meet up in Rochester, attend Bills games, and get together when she comes home. Catie is my ride or die. I love her just like a sister. Watch out for her dual speech with Laura because it's sure to be witty, but will be a tear jerker for sure! xoxo


Isaac Bailey

Groomsman

Isaac and Jimmy decided to not get off the school bus after their first day of kindergarten. They missed their bus stop and had to call their parents for a ride, but they became great friends for life in the process. Growing up diagonally from each other, they had many football and basketball pickup games in the neighborhood and they carpooled to many parties and events over the years. They have gone to many Syracuse games to see "big dunks" and both agree that the Yankees are better than the Blue Jays. Jimmy is excited for Isaac to be a groomsman in his wedding!

Elizabeth Mabbett

Bridesmaid

Elizabeth "Liz" and I met at the end of 2019 just after I started dating Jimmy. Liz is married to Don, who is one of Jimmy's groomsmen and good friends. Jimmy invited me over to the Mabbett's for a Bills game, and when I got there it was all guys! Don goes "Oh, Liz is on her bachelorette trip, but it's fine"! I remember when I first hung out with Liz, she felt so bad I was stuck with all the guys "jagaloons" that day. Liz and I immediately clicked and she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. It was a big deal to me to be accepted by Jimmy's friends when we started dating, and Liz made that task so easy. Her and Don have been our biggest supporters<3 I absolutely adore her daughter Mary Ella and always look forward to our get togethers and Bills events. Us jagalettes have to stick together to deal with our jagaloons! xoxo


Donald Mabbett

Groomsman

Whether it's on the basketball court, Movie Tavern, Florida, Poconos, Highmark Stadium, or lunch at Darwin's, Don and Jimmy will sure be having fun and share a similar sense of humor. As accountants, they both enjoy maintaining a work/life balance and sharing many similar interests; especially Syracuse college sports, the Yankees and the Bills. They also will rival anyone at their "meme" making skills! Don will definitely bring his dancing shoes to the wedding, and Jimmy is excited to see him turn into his alter ego, "Wedding Don".

Jeanna Hunt

Bridesmaid

Jeanna and I met when I transferred to RIT. It's aways a little scary going to a new place with new people, but I lucked out and ended up with a best friend! Jeanna, Heather and I, all lived together at RIT (141 A hey!). I usually traveled back to Syracuse a lot to work on the weekends, but when I stayed at school we had SO much fun together. Epic parties, target decor, our turtles Bella & Edward, four locos, on the stoop, hockey games, TC Rileys, tanning trips, and so much more! I'm excited to bring back the "meep meep" party to the TS next year! Jeanna lives out in the Albany area, but we always make it a priority to do a few get togethers each year. I had a blast being involved with her bridal events this past year, and now I'm so glad she gets to be apart of mine! xoxo


Stephen Elfenbein

Groomsman

Steve and Jimmy have known each other since middle school and have vivid memories of 8th Grade global studies with Mr. Muench. They became great friends during varsity basketball in high school and haven't looked back since. They both enjoy many of the same things, including sports, movies, travel, concerts, and the occasional game of minature golf! They look forward to annual get togethers, such as Buffalo Bills games, Syracuse basketball games and Saratoga trips. Steve is one of the nicest guys Jimmy knows and couldn't see him not being in his wedding.

Heather Jenkins

Bridesmaid

Heather "Heathii" and I were college roomies at RIT (141A hey!). Heather, Jeanna and myself instantly clicked. I knew I found some lifelong friends when I entered into that Perkins apartment years ago. Heather always makes me laugh, and we have the best times together. I still will never forget when we came home one night STARVING and decided to put chicken patties in the oven. Well, that didn't go over so well, when we ended up falling asleep and burning them to a crisp! Thank God we didn't burn the apartment down. Oh, and I can't forget our days lounging on the floor playing FarmVille! Heather also lives in the Albany area, and has a beautiful little girl named Elliana and a baby boy on the way! I'm so excited to have you by my side next year! xoxo


Paul Deckard

Groomsman

Paul and Jimmy have been friends as long as he can remember. Paul grew up in the same neighborhood as Isaac and Jimmy, until moving a few miles away towards the end of middle school. Paul and Jimmy have traveled a lot together and also went to the same college to play division 3 football. They were roommates sophomore year and spent countless hours battling in various video games, including Tiger Woods Golf and Madden NFL Football. Paul moved out to the West Coast but they always try to plan get togethers when he comes back into town, especially for Jimmy's wedding!

Terra Parr

Bridesmaid

Terra is my cousin from Indiana and my number one dancing partner! When I was little I spent my summer breaks in Indiana with my grandma, cousins, aunts and uncles! You could find Terra and I swimming in the pool, jumping on the trampoline, hanging out in the tree house, dancing and shopping! Our love for our fur babies is unmatched and we have an obsession with Disney. Terra's love for music and dancing, will have everyone on the dance floor! Love you girl, and so excited for you to come out to NY! xoxo


Christopher Dor

Groomsman

Chris and Jimmy met after Chris transferred high schools and joined the football team. Chris and Jimmy became great friends and Jimmy was glad that he made the move upstate. Chris is a great guy and and they always try to meet up for various events or random weekends. Whether it was in Syracuse, Philly, Rochester at Murphy's Law, Seattle, NYC and Knicks games, Saratoga, they always seem to enjoy themselves. Jimmy is honored to have Chris as a groomsman in his wedding!

Danielle Van Duyn

Bridesmaid

Danielle is my cousin from Indiana. If you need a good laugh, she is your girl! We basically spent our summers in the pool, the ceramic shop, taking walks down to Foxes to get ice cream, Holiday World, and trips to craft shows. Danielle would do anything for anyone, and always makes it a point to put family first. I'm excited to get the fam back together, and so honored to have you by my side! xoxo


Ryan Miller

Groomsman

Ryan and Jimmy became friends immediately at college while playing on the football team. They both played defense and they had many similar interests off the field as well. Ryan and Jimmy are both accountants and they both love to travel. They lived with each other for several years and still get together frequently even though they live a few hours apart now. Whether it's hiking, golfing, white water rafting, or just going to dinner to talk business ideas, they always have a lot to catch up on. Ryan has been a great friend to Jimmy and is also excited for Ryan to be a groomsman in his wedding.

Crystal Kempf

Bridesmaid

Crystal is my cousin from Indiana (and Danielle's sister), but I've always considered her my big sis. Our summers were spent swimming, playing with the guinea pigs, making noodles with Shakey, raging the fridge at night drinking pickle juice, listening to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and driving our grandmas crazy! You and Danielle always have me laughing when we get together. "I'm insane, I got no brain, picka, picka, picka, bow wow." I always felt so cool when Crystal would take me in her car, pull out the sleeve of CDS, and drive around blasting music. We love our fur babies like children and we might be just a little obsessed with the beach and warm weather. "Come on innnnn", and come on back to NY! I swear in August it's beautiful and NO snow ;) xoxo


Tim Marion

Groomsman

Tim and Jimmy became friends during college and played on the football team together. Whether it was having fun at practice, playing video games such as FIFA soccer, or being nerds by working on their accounting homework in the library, Tim and Jimmy have spent a good amount of time together. They even traveled to Spain, Italy and Greece together; and they both want to do on another trip to Europe someday, since their last trip was cancelled due to Covid. Jimmy is honored to have Tim be a groomsman and maybe he will let Jimmy win in FIFA soccer that weekend.
