Wedding Party
Erica Byers
Matron of Honor
Erica, my sister by blood and best friend by choice. The true definition of a strong woman! She's usually found pouring the next round of shots or murdering it on the dance floor. Always making sure everyone's having a good time and laughing until their stomachs hurt. From teaching me to bong a beer at GV to working the bar together at home.. I'll always thank God I have you in my life. She's simply the best big sister you could ever ask for.
Becca Younkin
Matron of Honor
Becca is the extra big sister that everyone wants! She's there whenever you need her, gives the best advice, and will always tell you how it is! She kept me out of 407 at her wedding but lucky for both of us it didn't work and she's still standing by my side today! She's always down for a good time and loves with her whole heart! Everyone needs a Becca in their life!!!
Tara Calandra
Bridesmaid
MY MINI!!! Tara is my little sister that keeps me on my toes, teaches me all the young kid slang and is a mirror to my soul. She is the sweetest, kindest, most loving person I've ever met! To hang out with her is to laugh constantly and have a conversation that is usually followed by "OMG there's two of you!" whenever were together. She's one of a kind and you'll be nothing short of blessed to be around her.
Jessica Pallitto
Bridesmaid
Jessica is my best friend, my gator sister and my feistier side. I met Jessica working at Gator Jake's and right away it was like we've known each other forever. She may be small but she is fierce! She always makes me laugh, comforts me when I cry and without a doubt will ALWAYS have my back. She's a rumpleminz loving, fearless and the best kind of woman to have in your corner. When she loves you you'll never have to question her loyalty to you and she proves it every time! #BTM4LIFE
Sara Dozek
Bridesmaid
Sara, my sue sue... She's is not only my cousin but a woman who you want to be when you grow up. She never fails to un-intentionally make you laugh. She unapologetically will tell you how she feels, do what she wants, keep you in check and will have you crying with her contagious laugh. She's beautiful soul who you can't help but love! She's a kick @$$ woman and truly makes you feel loved beyond measure but also terrified to make angry. LOL
Taylor Whitmore
Bridesmaid
Taylor is the sunshine you need in life. My cousin Taylor is the girl you see with a contagious smile, dance moves and a drink in her hand ready to have a good time or plan the next adventure. She'll laugh at your jokes even if they're not that funny and always makes you feel better than the moment before. My tequila loving girl is nothing short of a party in the form of a beautiful person.
Lauren Sherman
Bridesmaid
Lauren is the Pauly to my Vinny. A women with a wild spirit and a huge heart! Usually the loudest in the room other than me.. She's the party before the party and usually forcing someone to do a jager bomb with her (although we do them willingly together) because she just wants everyone to have a good time! You can usually find us on the dance floor, being goofy or talking smack in the form of love. Loe is one of a kind and she's always a great time.
Angela Villella
Bridesmaid
Angela is the funniest, loving, strongest RBF having woman you could ever meet. Her brother John will say she looks like she's not having a good time but let me tell you she sure knows how to have one! She's always making me laugh whether it's with dog videos, reciting the latest viral sounds, corny jokes or joining in on making fun of Johnny with me. Angela, I'm blessed to become apart of your family and be your sister-in-law. I can't wait for you, Gina and I to bully John for the rest of our lives! (in a loving way of course).
Gina Liss
Bridesmaid
Gina, Miss. Tin Roof, a girl with 0 f's and plenty of heart. Gina is the girl who you'll find on the dance floor battling her brother on whose moves are better. She's the life of the party and the girl who you can never tell that she can't do something because trust me she'll do it! She's always there when you need her and truly a comedian. Gina, I can't wait to spend our lives making fun of Johnny with Angela and tearing up the dance floor together! Thank you for welcoming me in to your family as if I've always been apart of it!
Chase Younkin
1/2 of the Best Man
Nickname: Chester (A. Arthur) The 21st President of the United States met John in 6th Grade at Seneca Middle School after resigning from Political Office. In his spare time, he enjoys reading historical passages on American Wars and has continued his public service by helping his friends find the nearest bottle of booze.
Antonio Guglielmetti
1/2 of the Best Man
Nickname: The President No one knows who fired the first shot that sparked his relationship with John, but it started at the crossroads of Biland Drive and Santia Court. The President spends most of his free time touring and incorrectly reading no-touching policies of the world’s greatest art museums. To this day, he still holds a 0% success rate of answering more than 2 phone calls in a row.
Justin Sanchez
Groomsman
Nickname: Vino Justino Vino Justino and John slapped the bag in high school and later became college roommates as they shared many similar hobbies. You won't have to look far for him on May 30th, as he will have the 2nd best haircut in the wedding party, identical to the one he sported at Shawnee Elementary 20+ years earlier. His academic diligence matches his hair, as he was the only student of Durand Street to receive full attendance points.
Joe Moza
Groomsman
Nickname: Joese Cuervo Mr. Cuervo stumbled into John’s life during high school, where they spent countless hours playing NHL and chewing “sunflower seeds”. After nearly killing his coach (The Groom) with a puck clear from the net, Joese pivoted his career to become one of the most decorated mediocre youth hockey coaches in the state of Michigan.
Mario Fusco
Groomsman
Nickname: Chow Mario met John in 2nd Grade Catechism, where they became friends, bonding over the impeccable flick called Bubble Boy. Since then, Mario has taken up nature walks and windsurfing on Lake Huron. Additionally, he holds the MTV record for most losses ever on Silent Library.
Mike Wixson
Groomsman
Nickname: Wix Wix staggered into John’s life during high school, when they used to buy American Deluxe Cheeseburgers together once a month for lunch. If toppings were extra, Mike would disgustingly scold the staff. Seeking better deals on beef patties, Mike flew South this past Fiscal Year to pursue love and the best burger his dollar could buy.
Ben Villella
Groomsman
Nickname: Benergy Benergy is The Grooms Brother – In – Law and recently became Viviana’s dad this past December. He serves as the Operations Manager at the Electric Factory, coordinating all repairs to keep residents happy. For wedding attendees, like a car system, you will hear him before you see him, and chances are the noise is coming from the bar or dance floor.
Jeremy Byers
Groomsman
Nickname: J - Bone J – Bone is the soon to be Brother – In – Law of the Groom. He claims to have a heart of gold but is solely responsible for the 5% uptick of therapy sessions booked in the greater Macomb area among his peers due to his constant trolling. If you have questions regarding anything to do with brown liquor and possess the mental fortitude to handle this mental terrorist, he will guide you to the most accurate bourbon to quench your thirst.
Lucas Shock
Groomsman
Nickname: Shock Shock is the Bride’s favorite person and has become a personal favorite of the Groom. While his looks are eerily similar to the Vine Crack Head “YAAAAAA” kid, he swears that his family was on an Arctic Cruise at the time of its posting. Though his story has more holes than Swiss cheese, his dance moves are solid, and you will most likely spot him hitting the worm unannounced well before last call.
Mark Mostek Jr.
Groomsman
Nickname: Narkie Nark The Nark is the Bride’s older brother and is designated "The Sheriff " of the Groom’s Party ahead of the Ceremony. While on duty, he ensures the letter of the Law as written by the Bride will be followed to a tee; when off duty, he will be the first one in line for adult refreshments. If you have questions about legal loopholes, wait by the refilling station to broach the subject.
