Matthew & Virginia
Wedding Party
Michael Marsico
Best Man
Michael is Matthew's older brother by 2 years. They are very close and have a great time when they are together. During their childhood they were like most brothers, acted like they genuinely hated each other but deep down they had to love each other because they were in the same room sharing a bunk bed for their childhood. When they were in their teens, it stayed the same, but not in the same room anymore. Then it seemed like a "This house isn't big enough for the both of us!" kind of thing. Because, it was when college separated them, they both grew up and they became closer. Michael and Matthew bought their first home together, worked together for a short period of time and hung out with each other a lot amongst friends. Now, they still enjoy picking on each other but they love each other more than anything and have each others backs. Michael loves biking, making sure dandelions don't survive on his lawn and enjoying time with his wife Megan and their two adorable kid's Jack and Molly.
Francesca Schovers
Matron of Honor
Francesca is Virginia's older sister by 3 years. Francesca and Virginia spent the majority of their life sharing a bedroom. Despite this, Virginia and Francesca remain very close. Growing up, whatever Francesca did Virginia wanted to do too. We've travelled all over the world together and hope to keep traveling with their families. Now a days our shared interest include giving our mom a hard time, seeing if our brother will respond to our texts and just generally spending as much time together as we can. Francesca is the best mom to Emmalia and Nico. Virginia absolutely loves spending time with her and the kids!
Mark Schovers
Groomsman
Mark is Virginia's Brother in Law. He has a beautiful family, his wife Francesca and two amazing kids, Nico (Ring Bearer) and Emmalia (Flower Girl). Matthew and Mark have bonded over golfing, hunting (Matthew never hunted before this), bourbon and skiing. Mark is a great meat smoker, sandcastle builder, hunting gear sharer and all around easy going guy!
Andrea Lopez
Bridesmaid
Andrea is Virginia's cousin. Andrea and Virginia bonded over their love of good food and travel. They have travelled all over together in search of the best foods, hikes and outdoor scenery. There's nothing we won't do for a good chicken sandwich, an afternoon cocktail and to be in bed by 9pm.
Frank Aragona
Groomsman
Frank is Virginia's younger brother. Frank has been living in Oregon for sometime and if we get everyone at the wedding to ask him to come back home to Michigan, Mrs. Aragona would appreciate it and so would the rest of the family! Frank enjoys the outdoors, gaming, chess, reading and keeping his travel plans home a secret.
Antionette Worthy
Bridesmaid
Antoinette is Virginia's cousin and possibly the sweetest person you'll ever meet. Virginia and Antoinette are a few months apart in age a grew up doing everything together. We've bonded over our love of the being on the water, good food and drinks. Antoinette is as crafty as they come and is also getting married this year too!
Frank Moran
Groomsman
Frank is Virginia's cousin. Virginia and Frank grew up living next door to each other and were inseparable for the majority of their childhood. Their childhood was mostly comprised of watching every comedy movie available to them and trying to memorize it. Frank retained most of that and has a ridiculously good recollection of movie and TV trivia. When they weren't watching movies they were making up games and being overly competitive about EVERYTHING. Their parents still tell them that they used to fight like an old married couple as children. Legend has it there is video tape of Virginia crossing the finish line on the moped...Frank was just a hair on his chin too short...
Casey Moran
Bridesmaid
Casey is married to Virginia's cousin Frank Moran. Virginia met Casey the day after Frank and Casey's first date because that's what normal families do. Casey is the original YOLO girl and is down to do anything and go anywhere at the drop of a hat. Our shared interest includes rolling our eyes at Frank when he makes up a ridiculous fact.
Patrick Pawlak
Groomsman
Patrick and Matthew met at Robert Half Staffing where they worked together for a few years. They are often tossing darts, bowling, grabbing a cocktail or playing golf. That is if one of them can finalize a decision and make plans before they decide to give up and stay in. They have been on a bowling league together for 6 years and Matthew has hated almost every one of them, but he comes back for the wonderful friendship they have.
Francesca McNair
Bridesmaid
Francie is Virginia's cousin. We grew up living next door to each other. Francie is the older sister to Frank Moran. Francie and Virginia's older sister were inseparable as kids which means Virginia spent a lot of time with them. Virginia was somehow always the priest when Francie and Francesca would play wedding in our basement. It's finally Virginia's turn to be a bride!
Randy Bearden
Groomsman
Randy has been good friends with Matthew for a long time. They first met in Plymouth-Canton rec soccer when they were about 7 years old and played on the same team. They didn't reconnect as friends until their senior year of college at Eastern Michigan when they were completing the same degree program. These two got into all kinds of mischievous activities and had the greatest times. They have built a very strong friendship over the years and will always be there for each other.
Megan Marsico
Bridesmaid
Megan is Matthew's sister in-law. Megan is a fabulous mother to Jack (Ring Bearer) and Molly (Flower Girl), one of the best wives out there to Michael (Best Man), and the #1 Nurse at U of M, in our opinion. Matthew and Megan share a special bond and that is to gang up on annoying Michael.
Greg Kubert
Groomsman
Greg and Matthew connected through mutual friends after college graduation and from there the relationship grew. They recently had the chance to take their fathers to American Dunes Golf Course, on the west side of Michigan. American Dunes is a course that is dedicated to "Folds of Honor" which supports our Military. Both of their fathers served in the military and they were honored to take them. Greg is known for his 300+ yard golf drives and being someone Matthew has always been able to count on!
Melissa Marsico
Bridesmaid
Melissa is Matthew's older sister. She watches out for her younger brother's and enjoys pointing out how they could be better people. Melissa has been the pioneer in most of the rule breaking in the Marsico household, add Michael to that and it paved the way for Matthew to have the best of the three! Melissa is an amazing woman, smart, successful, a great dog mom to her pup Fuller and the best Sissa, to Molly and Jack!
Molly Marsico
Flower Girl
Matthew's wild and crazy 9 year old niece. She is the daughter of Michael and Megan Marsico. Molly is a semi-professional sweets eater, and will attempt any way she can to get her hands on sugar. We think that's what makes her a very sweet young lady. She also loves being goalie for her soccer team DCFC, crafting and playing with her friends and cousins.
Emmalia Schovers
Flower Girl
Emmalia is Virginia's sassy and sweet niece. She is the daughter of Mark and Francesca Schovers. Virginia is Emmalia's Godmother (Pina). She is 3 going on 13. Emmalia is just another one of the girls and enjoys spending time in the kitchen with her Nonna, Mom and Pina. She also enjoys loving on her little brother and playing with her many cousins. Emmalia thinks that this is actually her wedding and has been practicing being a bride since she found out Virginia and Matt were getting married. Just go with it! Ask her to do a monster smile for a good time!
Jack Marsico
Ring Bearer
Matthew's adorable and cuddly 6 year old nephew. He loves Pokémon cards, Nintendo Switch, bugging his older sister Molly, and being a super cool dude! Jack is the son of Michael and Megan Marsico.
Nico Schovers
Ring Bearer
Nico is Virginia's cute and cuddly nephew. He is the son of Mark and Francesca Schovers. He loves smiling, playing with his sister and anything freeze dried. Fingers crossed he'll be walking by the wedding!
