Wedding Party
Diane Menzo
Maid of Honor
Diane comes in at 5ft 9 inches with blonde hair and she has eyes. She often gets excited when you mention the name Tony and she has a dog named Russ that she loves to call little guy. Give it up for Diane!
Katie Menzo
Bridesmaid
Katie comes in at 5ft 5inches, has brown hair, and a big smile. She's married to a man who loves coney dogs and their two mini dogs. She loves long walks on the sidewalk and driving around construction barrels. Give it up for Katie!
Stephanie Menzo
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is coming in at 5ft and a few inches of sass. This Texas native loves her tall drink of water, her girls, and her blonde curls. She's kinda crazy about a farmer's tan and she really does think my tractor's sexy. Give it up for Stephanie!
Vanessa Menzo
Bridesmaid
Vanessa comes in at taller than me ft and at least 1 inch. Vanessa loves her golden retriever Chevy, country music, and dancing along to any Christina Agulara song. She can be found enjoying the simple things in life and thinking about me becoming a wife. Give it up for Vanessa!
Sophia Mophia Menzo
Bridesmaid
Sophia comes in a 5ft 6inches when she wears her hair up. She loves her new husband, making others laugh and only wearing the same outfit once. Sophia can usually be found on a Carolina beach, on Instagram telling the embarrassing story from this morning, or recharging in the best way possible. Give it up for Sophia!
Ava Menzo
Bridesmaid
Ava comes in at maybe the tallest of us all. She has brown hair and long legs that she uses to walk from place to place. She loves to be with her sisters, dream about her someday Mr, and tell stories about the good ole days. We've always had such an electric connection; every time I held her, I'd drop her. Give it up for Ava!
Debbie Menzo
Mother of the Bride
Debbie comes in as the one who birthed me, the original gangster! She has a soft spot in her heart for girls named Marian, a knack for making others laugh, and the super powers to do everything for everybody. She acts like I'm not her favorite child and if you can't find her, she's probably on the phone with me solving the world's problems. Give it up for my momma!
Dan Menzo
Father of the Bride
Dan comes in as the one that didn't birth me, but was definitely there and definitely involved, the dadeo, the pops Menzo. His favorite child is the seventh, he loves girls named Marian Joyce, and he too has a soft spot in his heart for his only daughter. If you can't find him he's probably sitting in the room with my mom listening to us talk on the phone. Give it up for my Dadeo!
Joe Jessop
Best Man
Joe is.....hard to describe. He's just Joe. If you're having a good time, it's probably with Joe. If you're at a Red Wings game working on your 3rd Miller Lite tall boy, you're getting Joe'd. The man is so legendary that his name has become an adjective. Yeah buddy. That's Joe.
Steve Jessop
Best Man
Steve is a ninja, that's the best way to put it. You won't see him if he doesn't want you to, but when you do see him it's a wild time. This coiffed and cerebral gent is always dressed to impress in the most dapper of linens and the finest of silken robes befitting one of his stature. One would be fortunate to count a visual media connoisseur such as himself amongst their inner circle.
Zach Misiak
Senior Groomsman
Zach is that dude. He can definitely throw up several plates on the bench and when he's not doing that he's busy hitting dingers on the golf course (named as such because they "ding" off of people's houses). The man enjoys a finely aged dark beverage and a classy smoke, and is rarely caught without one. He likes dogs. You could just read that last sentence and learn all you need to know about the man.
Tony Menzo
Groomsman
Tony "Bones" Menzo Ht: 6'4" Wt: yes Rap sheet: Pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the groom in providing a setting for the proposal that lead to this wedding (April 2023). Pleaded guilty to causing a good time (ongoing). Pleaded innocent to knowing the muffin man and his whereabouts (April 2001). Under investigation for the heist of one Diane Menzo's heart (Sept 2017). Conclusion: Dangerous individual. Do not engage in conversation unless you want to be exceedingly entertained.
Ryan Ardelean
Groomsman
An absolute madlad, a gentleman, a scholar, and a humanitarian who is a paragon in his own right. Can he bomb 3s on the bball court? Yep. Can he do a fairly kinda maybe passable Scottish accent? Mayhaps. Does he sing like a mixture of Fergie and Jesus? Oh you betcha champ. Will he continue to crack dad jokes? Until the cows come home, sport. He's Ryan. Deal with it.
Justin Carl
Groomsman
The Big Sports Guy (TM) with the even bigger beard (not TM). He was definitely a lumberjack, Viking, traveler, and Russian despot in his previous lives. He may or may not be a huge nerd, and he may or may be an aficionado regarding cross country travel and posture (see figure A above). This man has earned street cred all over the world and probably goes by either "Gator" or "Sasquatch" when referred to by his henchmen. This man mountain has 2 names just like Ricky Bobby, and he's every bit the same level of legendary. That's right, he's first and he ain't last. SHAKE AND BAKE!!
Joann Jessop
Mother of the Groom
She's a tornado of a woman with a demeanor that doesn't match (unless she's speed walking the mall prowling for deals). She can bake and she's got the bumpy cake that'll make you quake, she's got the buckeyes that'll cross your eyes, she's got the cookies...well, she's just got cookies. She's even got an acronym that goes with her name! Jolly Oh boy does she love antiques Awesome Never boring Nifty
Ronald Jessop
Father of the Groom
The man, the myth, the legend. And also the dad. THE dad. I mean, the getting to the airport 3 hours early, "get some sleep, we've got a big day tomorrow", packing a full backpack for a 2 mile hike, "check your car's fluid levels every month" dad. That's like, the prototype for dadliness. And mind you this is all without even having a moustache. Wild, isn't it? Oh but it gets better. 100% of the movies he quotes were made before I was born (and 80% of those quotes are Dumb and Dumber). Yep, he's definitely a dad's dad if you couldn't tell. And of all the tools in the toolbox, he's definitely one of the most helpful.
