Matron of Honor
Lianna and the bride became best friends in 2010 in Melbourne, Florida. They were both working in the liquor and wine industry and quickly discovered their shared interests in shopping, wine, traveling, and girls’ trips to various destinations. When Lisa was laid off from the liquor industry, Lianna took her under her wing and taught her everything she knows about real estate. During the bride and groom's first date, Lianna was on standby for an emergency call in case the groom turned out to be a catfish. The bride is incredibly lucky to have Lianna by her side, both on this special day and always.
Best Man
I first met Dave in 2008 at the Omni Hotel in Championsgate while working as a line cook. From the very beginning, it was clear that Dave wasn’t just an exceptional chef, but also an outstanding boss. His passion, energy, and sense of humor made him a constant source of inspiration. Over the years, we worked side by side, building a deep friendship grounded in our shared love of God, rock and metal music, and great beer. Through life’s challenges, Dave and I have always been there for each other. He’s truly one of a kind—an incredible friend, a brother, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as my best man.
Bridesmaid
Lauren and the bride have been best friends since the third grade, when Mrs. Arenas introduced them and sat them together. Over the past 33 years, they’ve shared more than just memories; they’ve built a bond that has only deepened with time. Lauren isn’t just a friend—she’s family, a part of countless Christmases, celebrations, and life’s most precious moments. The bride can’t imagine this special day without Lauren by her side as she marries the man of her dreams, knowing her best friend will always be there.
Groomsman
I met my brother Phil the day I was born—no surprise there, right? Despite the ten-year age gap, I've always felt a deep bond with him. I've looked up to him, admired him, and respected him my whole life. Phil has an incredible ability to make the best of any situation, and his creativity and skills never cease to impress me. Whether we’re hanging out or chatting on the phone, it always feels like no time has passed, no matter how long it’s been since we last saw each other. I’m truly grateful and honored to have my brother as my groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Crystal and the bride met during Lisa’s first year at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management. Lisa and Crystal often teamed up for group projects, and whenever they weren’t studying, they’d sneak away to their favorite restaurants for lunch or go shopping at the Millennia Mall. After college, they remained best friends and even had the chance to be roommates while working together as liquor sales reps for Premier Beverage. The bride feels incredibly lucky to have Crystal in her life forever, as she brings a ray of sunshine to every room she enters.
Groomsman
I met Chris in 2009 while working at the Omni Hotel in Championsgate. From the start, it was clear that Chris is the kind of person who genuinely lifts up those around him. He takes the time to get to know people on a deeper level, always showing a true interest in their lives. When we first connected, we quickly discovered our shared love for metal music, great beer, and amazing food. It’s been a pleasure to call him a friend, and I’m truly honored to have him as a groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Colleen and the bride met through Mike, the groom. As Mike’s older sister, Colleen holds a special place in both of their lives. Lisa always enjoys visiting her in Syracuse and sharing stories over a glass of wine. Colleen is incredibly fun and organized to a fault—she’ll be the perfect bridesmaid to keep the bride in line. Lisa is looking forward to finally having a big sister.
Groomsman
I met Ben around 1992 when he first started dating my sister, Colleen. From the beginning, I’ve had a deep respect and appreciation for him—his thoughtful, logical approach to life, his unwavering love for his family, and his passion for great TV. Over the years, it’s been a privilege to see him become such an integral part of our lives. I’m truly honored to have Ben as my groomsman.
Junior Bridesmaid
Olivia stole the bride’s heart the day they met over six years ago—even before the groom had the chance. From the start, it was clear that something special was blossoming between them. With her sweet demeanor and just the right hint of sass, they instantly clicked, forming a bond that felt like destiny. Olivia proudly declared herself a member of the “Girl Team” and has remained fiercely loyal to Team Bride ever since. As the bride prepares to marry an incredible man, she’s equally thrilled to welcome the best bonus daughter in the world into her life. The journey ahead for the bride and groom promises to be filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories.
