Wedding Party
Alida Barry
Matron of Honor
We first met during the life-altering moment when our parents entrusted Kristine with holding a newborn baby. Thankfully, she didn’t drop me (or that I know of) and as we grew, so did our bond – somewhere between borrowed shoes, trips all over the world, saving each other from social (and other) disasters, our mutual love of horses, wine, and Cheddar (the goodest Vizsla), shared heartbreak, preparing delightful meals, and our first Aperol spritz, we became best friends. I am deeply honored to stand by her side as she begins this incredible new chapter-marrying Matt.
Tyler Dallin
Best Man
First cousin to the groom, Tyler is as great a cousin as there is. Living in Florida, time together has been somewhat fleeting but there has been no shortage of memories. some of the most notable have been joining on the occasional family trip to Maine, our family cruise vacation and meandering around the polo grounds and riding around in sports cars during trips to Florida. Tyler always lightens the mood and is wonderful to be around. Matt is honored to have Tyler as a first cousin, and proud to have him as his best man.
Anne Marie Thompson
Bridesmaid
Middle sister to the bride… I know what you are thinking and yes, I do live up to the middle-sister vibe! Kristine and I have always had a quirky relationship. Am I saying that when I was 8 that she tried to poison me with hairspray… No I am not exactly saying that. But IF I was, would it have been warranted because I gave her favorite white teddy bear a swirly… I’m not saying that either 😏. What I am saying is that I LOVE my big sister- always have, always will! You can count on me to bring some laughs, mediocre dance moves and killer shoes to this wedding.
Jared Kustra
Groomsman
Eldest brother of the groom, Jared is the other half of matt's top tier siblings. As dependable as a sibling could be and always available for support, Matt and Jared are not just siblings, but true friends. They have made incredible memories together throughout their entire lives from knee hockey as kids to tailgating and enjoying Patriots games, road trips up north to ski, the backyard fort and a storied men's league career with the Barn Rats. More great memories are yet to be made.
Cynthia Funk
Bridesmaid
One of four girls, younger sister to the bride and second oldest, Cyndi is the sister that loves sports. Cyndi and Kristine shared many fun memories of being on the same track and field team during their high school years. They also enjoyed listening to Billy Joel, “Keeping the Faith”, with their dad, as this was his favorite song. Growing up, you would find them playing some old atari or sonic games together, some friendly pool competitions and also watching some bizarre but intriguing sci-fi movies. During their transition to adulthood, Cyndi enjoys watching the beautiful relationship Kristine has made with her two sons, Caleb and Jacob. Kristine’s heart overflows with love for them and makes time to spend with them whenever she can.
Cam Kustra
Groomsman
Youngest brother to the groom, Cameron is part of the pair that sets the gold standard for siblings. As loyal and knowledgeable as they come, Cam is always there for support or consultation & is never reluctant to share his thoughts. Matt & Cam have shared many wonderful memories including playing lacrosse together in high school, summer vacations to Maine, football out back & many Patriots games.
Elizabeth Sayko
Bridesmaid
Kristine has always been such an important part of my life. Growing up, we were lucky enough to have her live with us and even in that short period of time we created countless memories together that we still laugh about today. The D'Angona/Sayko cousin bond is truly one of a kind. From family vacations on Fripp Island to supporting each other through life's biggest milestones, it has been a gift to watch Kristine's journey unfold. I couldn't be happier to stand by her side as she begins the most beautiful chapter yet with Matt.
Henry Brandt
Groomsman
Life-long friend of the groom. We first meet on the first day of Mrs. Kramer's kindergarten class at Ben-Hem elementary and have remained close ever since. Growing up together we have shared countless hours playing living room knee hockey in the winters and driveway street hockey in the summers, as well as many backyard wiffleball home run derby's. I had the honor of having Matt as a groomsman at my wedding and it will be an honor to return the favor standing at his side at his wedding!
Emily Sayko
Bridesmaid
I have known Kristine my whole life, her being my cousin and all. She is the first born of all our cousins, and I am the youngest. I have been blessed that I have a role model like her in my life to look up to. Kristine always supports me and everyone around her. I am so happy that I now get to support Kristine on her special day as her and Matt embark on this new adventure in life. No matter what stage we are at in life, Kristine and I will always support each other.
Nick Zessack
Groomsman
Matty and myself met in high school playing lacrosse for Brady's Bunch. We randomly got selected to be roommates for the tournament, which turned into a lifelong friendship. No one would have guessed that a Georgia boy and a Boston kid would be so close, But no matter the distance between us we find a way to stay in touch and encourage each other through life!
Amanda Sayko
Bridesmaid
Kristine is more than my cousin, she's family. As the oldest siblings in our families, we share a very special connection that only oldest siblings could understand. I have so many fond memories of her living with us especially how she love our dog, Rosie, and how my Dad would affectionately call her Ruthy! Even though we don't see each other everyday, our relationship is unbreakable. I'm so honored to stand by her side and celebrate her and Matt with all our families!
Joe Zanchi
Groomsman
For those that don't know me, My name is Joe Zanchi. I'm honored to stand by Matt's side on his big day! I've had the privilege of meeting Matt in 1st grade, and we have been friends for almost 30 years. I couldn't be happier to celebrate Kristine and Matt as they start their new chapter together.
