Dina & Matt
Wedding Party
Jaclyn Quaranta
Matron of Honor
Dina's Sister. Newlywed, and new Mommy to our beautiful Flower Girl Celeste.
Dan Bateson
Best Man
A hell of an instinctive pilot, maybe too good. Dan often writes checks his body can't cash but when he flies, his crew and his plane come first. He'll be Matt's wingman any time.
Nicole Paschal
Maid of Honor
Dina's best friend. Nicole was Dina's first friend at Quinnipiac, constant travel companion (whether it be to another country, or on countless road trips to Connecticut/New York), Dina's biggest source of sanity, and now fellow bride-to-be!
Vinny Celeste
Best Man
Brother of the Bride. The kind of man who won't go out if there's a surcharge for the cab, but will also drop a grand on bottle service in Miami. Matt and Vinny are as tight as one of his T-Shirts.
Amanda Barbaro
Bridesmaid
Youngest of Dina's twelve Barbaro cousins, and one of the only people crazy enough to shop all night with Dina on Black Friday.
Bill Bennett
Groomsman
Brother-in-Law to the Groom and future speed dial contact when Matt and Dina buy a house. His patience for nonsense is as short as his dog's legs. Has a black belt in avoiding his mother in law.
Liz Bennett
Bridesmaid
Matt's sister, proud Mommy to our beautiful Flower Girl Nora, and the super woman who can do EVERYTHING -- whether it be hand painting invitations, concocting whipped cream from scratch, altering all of Dina's clothes, or engineering an airplane.
Mike Brandman
Groomsman
Lives vicariously through himself. He holds multiple patents in technology beyond our understanding. Mike can count the number of movies he's seen on one hand, and then use the other four fingers to pour a stiff drink.
Caitlyn Bevard
Bridesmaid
Dina's friend since birth! Pre-school dance classes, middle school sleepovers, belting out songs in Dina's high school convertible, college visits and now each other's weddings-- Dina and Cait have been through it all.
Kevin Dawber
Groomsman
Style guru. Boat owner. Give Kevin a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach Kevin to fish and he'll wear a ridiculous outfit.
Jordan Chaput
Bridesmaid
Dina's Boston Bestie. Will make a brunch any time, any place but prefers to be in bed by 10 (on a late night). First question upon seeing the bride newly engaged (hopped up on drugs and down three wisdom teeth): "So where and when are we doing the Bachelorette?"
Keith Driscoll
Groomsman
Craftsman, outdoorsman, rolling stone. Keith once missed an audition for a television mini series because he forgot to pay his cable bill. Before he was Matt's neighbor he wasn't. Born in silence, raised in isolation, lives Tennessee.
Danielle Derasmo
Bridesmaid
Dina's Cousin. Grew up only three months apart and a half mile down the road, both nominated for "most argumentative" in their senior yearbook... Danielle won.
Nick Johnson
Groomsman
Golfer, Fanboni rider, dog father. He'll try anything once, unless that one thing is something he doesn't want to do. A friend you can go to with your questions, as long as they don't relate to peanut butter storage techniques. When you see someone like Nick you just got to look at him.
Brittany Kevlon
Bridesmaid
One of Dina's Besties, Brittany began wedding planning with Dina at precisely age 12, when Dina made her buy a wedding magazine and circle all of their favorite things. Dina's only childhood friend crazy enough to move up to Boston with her (and even more crazy to move back)!
Jack Lamson
Groomsman
Anchorman in the 57th market living a top 50 market life. Brewmaster and Roller Derby fanatic. Jack is the only groomsmen with a body of water named after him. He went to MIT with the presidents chief scientific advisor and in a situation like this you really don't want to take the advice from a man who got a C- in astrophysics.
Emily Nentwick
Bridesmaid
Dina's first college roommate and best friend. On move-in day Dina's mom said, "that's the one you're going to be best friends with!" Turns out mothers are always right. Quinnipiac Partner-in-Crime, Italy Partner-in-Crime, and "Adulting" Partner-in-Crime.
Corey Lasko
Groomsman
Boston Bruins apologist. Known for his green thumb, he once kept a fern alive well past it's average lifespan. Corey has a love for the arts and isn't afraid to defend it.
Nicole Nestro
Bridesmaid
Dina's Cousin. Nicole would yell Dina's name from the red benches (much to Dina's dismay) when Nicole was a sophomore and Dina was in Seventh grade, and is the reason Dina spent years as "Nicole Barbaro's little cousin". Mommy to our handsome Ring Bearer Thomas.
Alex Leach
Groomsman
The fastest man alive. Often considered to be Rhode Island's Benjamin Button. Alex likes to take the road untravelled as long as he knows where he's going. A tech-savvy giant with a drone and a heart of gold.
Diana Urbinati
Bridesmaid
Dina's cousin. The original Barbaro cousin and the best role model to the eleven who followed in her footsteps, which Dina did quite literally by going to school in Connecticut and marrying her college sweetheart. Mommy to our beautiful Junior Bridesmaid Gianna and our other handsome Ring Bearer Nicholas.
Francesco Quaranta
Groomsman
Hard-working, Alpha male. Jackhammer. Merciless. Insatiable.
Gianna Urbinati
Junior Bridesmaid
Dina's little cousin, and Nonna's first great-granddaughter. G has plenty of experience keeping all 6 of the Great-Grandsons (and now the other great-granddaughters Charlee and Celeste) in line.
Nicholas Barbara
Junior Groomsman
Dina's Godson and future NFL Quarterback. Nick spent most of his life in Vegas and recently moved to New Jersey. Dina and Matt are actively trying to convince Nick to go to college in Massachusetts in a few years.
Nora Bennett
Flower Girl
Our niece and the cutest, sassiest one-year-old in the world! Nora enjoys carb loading and dancing (clearly she takes after her Aunt Dina).
Thomas Nestro
Ring Bearer
Dina's Little Cousin. Thomas is 4 years old and if you can't find him this weekend he is probably out looking for the Sanderson sisters (HUGE Hocus Pocus fan)!
Celeste Quaranta
Flower Girl
Dina's Niece. Celeste was asked to be a flower girl when she was just a 6 month old fetus. But Matt and Dina knew they loved her so much already they just couldn't wait!
Nicholas Urbinati
Ring Bearer
Dina's Little Cousin. Nick is the sweetest little guy you'll ever meet and is always making us laugh. Thomas and Nick are BFFs and are going to be the best "ring security" partners!
