Wedding Party
Michele Perez
Best Bitch (Matron of Honor)
Michele is not only Lauretta's best friend, but also her niece. Most people think that they are sisters because they have many similar features. (We mean their smiles, eyes, and personalities; get your mind out of the gutter, Rob!) They have been friends for Michele's whole life. The amount of years is not important, because Lauretta will always be older. They raised their children together and consider their families to be one tribe (See: matchy-matchy tattoos). They will have each other's backs always - so don't test it!
Lance Blacker
Best Man
Ever since the Mason Family moved to Washington in 1972, Rob and Lance have been the best of friends. Building on a shared love of riding bikes and WWF wrestling (don't ask us which one broke his arm doing some of the moves), their friendship is as strong today as it was then. Their mutual love of inappropriate jokes will always have Lauretta shaking her head and rolling her eyes. Lance is in it for the long haul and if Rob ever needs a place to escape, he knows he always has a place on Lance and Ann's couch with the dog!
Janelle Weaver
Witch Bitch (Bridesmaid)
Janelle and Lauretta realized that they were "soul sisters" the minute they met. They navigated their workplace together, some say connected at the hip. They have been there for each other through some of the most challenging times and some of the most ridiculous! Janelle was there from the beginning of Lauretta and Rob's relationship and was often Lauretta's sounding-board (iykyk). They have a friendship that will last a lifetime - and then some.
Scott Reidinger
Groomsman
You know the phrase "womb to tomb?" That describes Rob and Scott's friendship perfectly. Their moms were best friends in high school and continued their friendships as they grew their families. So Rob and Scott were friends before they were born! Shared vacations, birthday parties, holiday get-togethers - even if they didn't live close, Rob and Scott spent a lot of quality time together. Through ups and downs, successes and losses, they have been there for each other. Their kids call each other "Uncle;" they will always be brothers!
JoAnn Delligatti
Boss Bitch (Bridesmaid)
Lauretta and JoAnn have known each other for over 25 years, but they became much, much closer in the last 10. JoAnn is Lauretta's cousin through marriage. She is her mother-in-law's cousin's granddaughter, to be specific! But more importantly, JoAnn is one of Lauretta's dearest friends and closest confidantes. They always have a lot of laughs together. When in a bind, JoAnn takes charge. Rob enjoys sitting with JoAnn's husband Joe, and watching the craziness that the ladies create!
Dan Stone
Groomsman
What can one say about Dan and Rob's friendship? Almost 20 years of walkabouts, round-table discussions, venting sessions, and parties have kept these two thicker than thieves. They each have the ability to ease the mind of the other when times are tough, but are just as likely to get into mischief while having fun because "decisions were made." Rob and Dan can tell each other just about anything without the other one taking offense. It is important to have someone to help keep it real - for real, for real!
