Massa & Trey
The "I Do" Crew
Joyce Kolenky
Maid of Honor
Greetings! I’m Joyce. Cousin of the bride. Which means that the bride and I have known each other basically forever. Some of my best childhood memories were made when Massa would come to Maryland for summer vacation and we’d hang out, ride bikes, burn CDs from LimeWire and get into all kinds of little mischief. From our daily long distance calls back in the day to our now weekly Saturday morning debriefings, we have always been there for each other. I met Trey not too long after he and Massa started dating and to say the least, he’s become one of my favorite people. I'm super happy for Trey and Massa and I'm excited to be able witness and partake in their special day.
Cyenah Lawson
Bridesmaid
Cyenah Lawson of House Lawson-Williams, first of her name, mother of two crazy kids, taker of names, CEO of Zeors Closet, snatcher of wigs, queen master of all jeckers, defender of Massa. I met Massa sophomore year of High School in History class. We instantly clicked, I was instantly drawn to her sense of humor and her undeniable intelligence. Over the years she has become my sister-friend, my confidant and a shoulder to ugly cry on.
Dionne Knowles-Tarantino
Bridesmaid
I am originally from the Bahamas, but live in MA with my loving husband & three wonderful children. Correction, we live with our pet dog, Bailey -- she has literally taken over the house! I was a senior human resource leader at a global pharmaceutical company and now finishing up my law degree. While in law school, I currently do pro-bono mediation in Massachusetts District Courts and my own private mediation practice. My true passion is mentoring and motivating high school students in various career paths. Also, I volunteer as a legal advocate specifically for women social service programs. When I’m not busy trying to save the world, I spend quality time with my family enjoying the latest movies, impromptu vacations and touring vineyards… Yes, I absolutely love red wine!
Marletta Patterson
Matron of Honor
My name is Marletta, there’s really not much to say about me except that if I’m not working, I’m making some type of craft or shooting some pool. I first met Ms. Massa at our previous employer back in 2014, where we learned how to tackle veterans disability, and how to be professionals (with a dash of petty :-P). As our professional relationship grew, so did our sisterly bond, especially during our girls night on Thursdays watching HTGAWM (until she abandoned me for Boston)! Seeing Massa and Trey grow into the beautiful couple they are now (after introducing them to each other - with the help of my beau) has really warmed my heart, and I’m truly blessed to a part of their journey to saying “I do”!
Ashley Hernandez
Bridesmaid
My name is Ashley Hernandez, im a libra and I’m a regular degular girl from the Bronx! Lmao I’m a doctoral student for clinical psychology. I met Massa my freshman year in college when we were both interests for a Greek organization. We became line sisters in this organization and ever since then it’s been history. Massa is the definition of a true friend and sister, and I am blessed to have her in my life. I am even more blessed and honored to witness her walk down the aisle and marry the love of her life, and be apart of her big day!
Omar Lopes
Groomsman
My name is Omar. I currently live in Maryland. I like to travel, network and play sports. I’ve known Trey my whole life and watched him become completely self made. Blessings to the King family!
Trokon Dalmeida
Groomsman
Massa’s right hand man. Her google before there was a google, her Uber way before Uber, her comedy central and most importantly, the bride's big brother!
Josh Sanders
Groomsman
I've known Trey since high school, both getting kicked out of class together as we were class clowns. We've worked together in different places but became good friends after high school. We played pool together on a league and have remained close for years.
Patrice Dorsinville
Groomsman
I was born and raised in Boston, MA. I attended Cathedral High and went on to attend Northeastern University and UMass Lowell. I enjoy long walks on the beach and traveling to the Caribbean once a year; but my favorite pastime is handing out L's to Trey in Mortal Kombat. I met the Groom through my wife's sister-in-law who happens to be the bride, and the rest has been history.
Pedro Correia
Best Man
I am the Uncle, God-Father, and Disney partner to the groom. I've known Trey my whole life, so I'm honored to be his best man.
