Wedding Party
Alexandria Chamelly
Maid of Honor
Childhood best friend of the bride. Maddie and Alexandria met when Maddie transferred to Forest Hills Northern in the 6th grade. They've been inseparable since the 7th grade after bonding over music, food, Spongebob, Grillz, and waiting in the after school pick-up line together. A best friend, sister, and confidant.
Eric Teays
Best Man
Best friend of the groom. Elio and Eric met their freshman year of college and bonded over their shared obsession with Creed and Scott Stapp (yes, Scott is the front man of Creed, but they still emphasize it's two unique loves). From pals, to roommates, to besties, it's a wonder that you're not attending their vow renewal.
Nadija Kadunic
Maid of Honor
Childhood best friend of the bride. Maddie and Nadija met in the 7th grade when they were introduced by mutual friends. They've also been inseparable since the 7th grade after bonding over music, Spongebob, Grillz, and a shared obsession with eggrolls (specifically Nadija's mom's eggrolls). A best friend, sister, and confidant.
Dante Stante
Groomsman
Brother of the groom. Dante is the oldest of the Stante brothers and while he at first wasn't the biggest fan of having siblings, after 30 years Elio's finally grown on him. You'll often see these two comfortably silent together or yelling while playing Xbox together, there is no in between.
Natalie Walsh
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride. Natalie and Maddie (affectionately called "Natty & Maddie" as kids) were joined at the hip growing up. Spending countless afternoons walking between their Grandmothers house and Natalie's, often with a slurpee in hand. Since then, they've visited each other in as many of their new "hometowns" as they can.
Enzo Stante
Groomsman
Brother of the groom. Enzo is the second oldest of the Stante brothers and he, on the other hand, has always wanted brothers. He and Elio have always been close. You'll find them chatting about music, their shared love of Lord of the Rings, and working out together. It was one of Elio's proudest moments when he became the Godfather to Enzo & Nalda's son, Luciano.
Lana Walsh
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride. Lana and Maddie have known each other since Maddie was 9 years old. They've shared more of a big & little sister relationship filled with countless bike rides, pool days, board games, college visits, and travels. Maddie's Munchkin is suddenly all grown up and she couldn't be more proud.
Nico Stante
Groomsman
Brother of the groom. Nico is Elio's little brother. He and Elio have always been close, both in personality and proximity - sharing a bunkbed and bathroom as kids will do that to you. You'll find them chatting about work, their family, Disney, and memories at the Italian American Club of Livonia. It was one of Elio's proudest moments when he became the Godfather to Nico & Anna's daughter, Josephine.
Gannon Davis
Groomsman
Big brother of the bride. While growing up Gannon and Maddie could be found running through the woods behind their childhood house, playing basketball with the garage lights on, and watching Pokemon. Over the years the hikes continued, basketball turned into trips to the gym together, and Pokemon marathons turned into X-Men marathons. Elio naturally fit right in and, without even realizing it, a duo became a trio.
