Out of all the stories, ours is my favoriteOut of all the stories, ours is my favorite
Once upon a time, two people went on a date, and by chance, it fell on NFL Draft night! Little did they know, this one date would start a big, exciting adventure. They quickly discovered their shared love for sports, outdoor adventures—biking, hiking, and chasing sunsets by the ocean—and the simple joy of feeling the sand or grass beneath their feet. They had so much in common, from the luck of the Irish to the passion of the Italians, all rooted in a deep sense of loyalty that made everything feel meant to be. We’re certain the stars aligned just for us, with a few angels working behind the scenes to bring us together! Kristin loves how Rob makes up funny nicknames for her and for their date nights, and she cherishes his calm, reliable demeanor. Rob loves KT’s spontaneous spirit, and how she adds excitement to every day. They feel like they’ve been side by side through it all, just like a team! Then one day, Rob planned the most special proposal in the breathtaking mountains and lakes of the Adirondacks. The trip was like a warm cup of coffee on a chilly morning, comforting, energizing; with every moment filled with beauty, love, and the peaceful embrace of nature. That cold December night made Kristin’s heart melt. As the song says, 'It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you' (This song happened to be playing as Rob proposed)—and honestly, nothing could pull them apart! They’re ready for a lifetime of adventure, laughter, and a love that grows more beautiful with each passing day. TO BE CONTINUNED.......- (The-Soon-to-Be) Mrs. Rosa

Jennifer MatsukasJennifer Matsukas
Maid of Honor
I’m beyond grateful to have Jen as my Maid of Honor. From the age of 14, she’s been a constant rock in my life. She laughs at all of my jokes, even if they are not funny. Some people come into your world, and after just a little time with them, you feel recharged and more like yourself than ever—and that’s Jen. I admire so many things about her: her incredible strength, resilience, and her superpower of being fully present in the moment. I thank God every day that He brought her into my life. I am so honored to have her standing by my side on this special day, just as she always has for me.
Alexandra ReiherAlexandra Reiher
Maid of Honor
Alex has been my best friend since we were 14, and from the moment we met, she just got me. There’s something so rare about having someone in your life for so many years—the way they know you at your core, through all the ups and downs, and they love you for the real, true version of who you are. Alex is that person for me. She’s seen me at my absolute best and at my lowest points, and she’s been there through it all, without ever judging, just loving and supporting me every step of the way. We’ve always cheered each other on, through every success and setback—my happiness is her happiness, and vice versa. Even though she moved to Chicago in 2002 and now calls Colorado home, nothing’s ever changed between us. Our friendship is unbreakable. I can’t imagine going through life without her by my side. Alex is my rock, my safe place, and my biggest supporter. I’m so thankful for her, and I’m beyond blessed to have her as my Maid of Honor on this special day.
Nina ButlerNina Butler
Bridesmaid
Nina has been stuck with me since birth, thanks to genetics and spending every single summer together. No one understands our one-of-a-kind family quite like she does—we can just look at each other and immediately know what the other is thinking. She has this perfect mix of sharp humor and unshakable calm, making her the ideal person to have around in any situation—especially a wedding. We grew up learning to swim together at the lake, riding bikes like we were invincible, and climbing trees as if gravity was just a suggestion. Technically, we’re cousins, but really, we’ve always been more like sisters—just without the constant sibling bickering (most of the time). There’s no one else I’d rather have by my side on this day… she’s been my built-in best friend from the start, and partner in crime since day one, every adventure is better when she’s part of it.
Megan WikanderMegan Wikander
Bridesmaid
Megan has been absolutely instrumental in helping Rob and I blend our family—doing it all with humor, grace, and a level of understanding that we will forever be grateful for. She has this effortless way of making everyone feel at ease, whether it’s with a perfectly timed joke or just her natural warmth. She’s the kind of person who lights up any room she walks into, the life of every party, and somehow manages to make even the most chaotic moments fun. I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side—mostly because every big moment in life is better (and way more entertaining) with Megan in it.
Isabella RosaIsabella Rosa
Jr. Bridesmaid
Isa is such a shining light in our lives, and we are so proud to have her as a Junior Bridesmaid! Her impeccable style, natural grace, and contagious laughter make every moment special. She and Rob share so many quirks (they’re practically twins), but she’ll always be Daddy’s love bug. From the sweet 9-year-old I first met to the confident, kind 15-year-old she is today, watching Isa grow has been one of our greatest joys. Having her by our side on this special day is a full-circle moment, and we couldn’t be prouder of the incredible young woman she’s become
Emma RosaEmma Rosa
Jr. Bridesmaid
Rob and I are thrilled to have Emma as a Junior Bridesmaid! She’s such a remarkable young woman—humble, kind, and full of authenticity. Her laughter and warmth brighten every moment. We love spending summers together in Montauk, and watching Emma grow has been a joy. She’s confident and stays true to herself. Her love, skill, and dedication to equestrian sports, along with everything else she takes on, make us so proud. The bond Emma shares with her cousins reminds us of how special those relationships are. Seeing her experience that closeness is truly heartwarming. Thank you, Emma, for being by our side on this special day!
Joseph RosaJoseph Rosa
Best Man
I'm so excited to have my brother as my Best Man! Having a little brother is one of life’s greatest gifts—someone who’s been by my side through everything. He’s adventurous, fun, and always knows how to keep things light. No matter what’s going on, he finds a way to bring laughter and make any moment better. He’s been there for me during the best times and the tough ones, always reminding me to look on the bright side. Growing up together has been nonstop memories—shared laughs, friendly competition, and moments only siblings truly get. He’s the kind of person who can turn an ordinary day into something unforgettable, and I’m so lucky to have him in my corner. Spending time with Joey and Angelica has always been a blast—we all get along so well, and the laughs are endless. Kristin and I have had so many great times with them, and they’ve been such a huge support in our lives. I truly couldn’t think of anyone better to stand by my side on this special day!
Antonio RosaAntonio Rosa
Jr. Groomsman
Tony is one of the most thoughtful and caring humans, we are so lucky. He has a way of making everyone feel special, and his kindness shines through in everything he does. From the start, he and Kristin formed an awesome bond—whether they were taking walks, swimming, or playing chess together, they always found ways to connect. He’s even jumped on board to become a Raiders fan with Rob, though Kristin will always be cheering for the New York teams! He's always up for an adventure—whether it’s hiking the bluffs in Montauk, checking out a wolf sanctuary, exploring the new Halloween decorations in stores, or going to a Christmas tree farm to pick out a tree and make an attempt to cut it down. He truly knows how to enjoy the simple things in life, finding excitement in every moment and appreciating the world around him.
Isabel and OliviaIsabel and Olivia
Flower Girls
Thank Heaven for little girls: Especially for Belle and Olivia, my mini besties! Our sweet Belle is an old soul with a heart of gold. She’s fierce, strong, and full of love—more than she even realizes. I’m constantly in awe of her thoughtfulness and the grace with which she carries herself. Belle has a way of seeing the world with a depth that far surpasses her years. There is a reason she is here with us—this little one can truly move mountains. I have prayed, I have cried, and my heart is full of gratitude as I’ve watched her triumph over so much, remaining cancer-free. I am beyond blessed to see her standing strong, full of life and light, and I know there’s nothing this inspiring young heart can't accomplish! A little bit about my Livy, liv, Jen’s mini me! Oliva is magnetic! Everyone is drawn to her fun-loving, carefree spirit and her playful take on life. Her infectious laughter and vibrant energy light up every room she enters. She has a way of making life feel brighter and lighter, reminding us all to laugh and enjoy the little things! I’ll always treasure that summer day in Lake George when I asked Belle and Liv and Alexander to be in our wedding! Their faces lit up with such excitement, like a Christmas tree on Christmas morning—pure magic!
AlexanderAlexander
Ring Bearer
I can’t get enough of Alexander’s curiosity and his never-ending love for learning! He’s absolutely thrilled to be our ring bearer and, I know he understands the assignment —It’s too cute how much Rob loves Alexander’s playful personality. The way Rob lights up around him is like he’s secretly a big kid himself—just trying to keep up with all of his boy energy! With his spunky personality and hilarious stories from his latest adventures, he’s a nonstop source of joy. We’re so thankful to have this little firecracker with us on our special day—he’s sure to bring some extra laughs, a little chaos, and a whole lot of charm! We can’t wait to see him bring his infectious energy and charm to the celebration—he’s sure to make it even more unforgettable!
