Maid of Honor
My sister, Katey, is my best friend. She is my forever partner in crime and a person who I have a powerful connection with. We can fully communicate with our eyes and nothing more. We have spent our entire lives' laughing, sharing everything, and always being there for one another. While growing up, all our friends with sisters would always ask us how we get along SO well. Not sure how I got so lucky to have such a beautiful, caring sister who I have had the pleasure of watching become an amazing nurse and mother. Katey will forever be a piece of my heart & soul.
Venice Caprai
Flower Girl
My favorite thing in the entire world is being Aunt "Wish" to my Venice. She is truly the brightest light in my life and has made my life better since the day she was born. I can't wait to watch her be the most beautiful flower girl the world has ever seen! Love my big girl so, so much - more than words can say!

Lexi Conahey is my college dorm floor-mate turned best friend. My best young adult memories all include Lexi and our time at San Diego State. I recently had the pleasure of being part of Lexi's bridal party as she married her husband and it has been one of my greatest honors in life thus far. Lexi is one of the most generous and kindhearted people I have met, she is someone that will drop everything to be there for you the second you needed anything. I'm truly blessed to have such a supportive, unwavering person in my life! Not sure what I would do without my Lexi!

I am forever blessed to know Kileigh and have her friendship in my life.

I am so lucky to have had a friend in Lexi throughout my entire teenage and young adolescent years and I can't wait to laugh with her throughout my wedding journey!

Kara makes my life so much brighter and I can't wait to have her by my side.

Ellie is my go to girl for all things makeup and my forever bathroom touch-ups partner. I am forever thankful to be gaining a sister in Ellie!

Jennae Sciuto
Bridesmaid
Jennae aka Naner is one of my favorite girls of all time! Jennae is hardworking, hilarious, and has the sweetest heart. I always have the best time doing anything with Jennae, whether it is our dinner dates, going out to the Lamplighter, or having a lazy Sunday playing games, it is always a great day with Jennae. Jennae also recently got engaged to one of Michael's cousins and I am so excited to watch her be a stunning bride. I feel blessed to soon be family with Jennae and to share the Busalacchi last name with her.
Rachel O'Brien
Bridesmaid
I have been friends with Rachel since I was 7 years old and she has made a huge impact on my life. Despite living in separate states for WAY too many years, once Rachel finally came home to San Diego, it was like we never missed a beat. I am constantly admiring Rachel's strength, fun-loving spirit, and how fully she lives life. Rachel is authentic, beautiful, and such a fun time to be around! I am forever grateful to have had Rachel in my life for as long as I can remember and so happy to have her as part of this big day!

Bridesmaid
Juliette is Michael's niece and my soon to be niece. I met Juliette when she was 8 years old and it has been such a joy watching her become a gorgeous and strong teenager. I have been lucky enough to bond with Juliette over the years and be her personal hair stylist. Now her hair styling skills are way better than mine! I can't wait to officially be Aunt Liv and I am so proud of the young woman that Juliette is becoming!
Francesca Capaldi
Bridesmaid
Francesca is my first cousin, but someone I've always thought of more like a little sister. Francesca is independent, extremely talented, kind, & caring. She carries a special place in my heart and I am honored that she will be a part of our big day, walking with Venice (who ADORES her 'cesca) down the aisle. I am very proud of the beautiful young woman Francesca has become!
PJ Busalacchi
Best Man
PJ aka "Shoosh" is and always will be my baby brother. He started as my WWF imaginary wrestling partner and is now my business partner. I am consistently inspired by his vision, his work ethic, and his ability to communicate and make friends with every person that walks into his life. The unofficial "Mayor" of Little Italy, PJ's warm, magnetic personality is second to none. I am honored to call him my brother and more honored to have him stand beside me at my wedding.
Joey Busalacchi
Best Man
Joey is my older brother and even though we're only 2 years apart, he's always had a grounded, mature demeanor that has been more like a father figure. Joey unknowingly taught me how to dress, how to talk to girls, and how to be an adult. He's someone I can count on to always be there. He can be the life of the party or the sage elder in the blink of an eye. A true leader. The future of the Busalacchi family and business is in good hands and I am honored and comforted in knowing my big brother will be by my side on my big day.
Gianluca Busalacchi
Groomsman
Gianluca is my first nephew and my youngest best friend. It has been a joy watching him grow into a mature, kind hearted teenager. He reminds me a lot of myself with his personality and humor. I love his impersonations and I love watching him ball out on the basketball court. He is and always will be a huge light in my life and I am so happy he gets to be apart of my day.
Vince Busalacchi
Groomsman
Vince is my cousin by blood but my friend by choice. When we were teenagers, Vince would come sleep over our house and hang out with Joey; but he and I would end up hanging out, playing Sim City 2000 and talking about life until 4am. His patience and willingness to help everyone is inspiring. He is a fantastic Father to his three children and I strive to be the "Super Dad" that he is. I am so happy he can be apart of our big day.
Sal Busalacchi
Groomsman
Sal or "Sal B" as he's known in the family is my cousin, close friend, and bandmate. We grew up together and shared many of the same experiences as teenagers. I felt like he was the "Angel" on my shoulder always making sure I was doing the right thing. His moral compass is always pointed in the right direction. He's someone I can trust with anything. I cannot wait to have him in my wedding and share the stage with him one last time!
Peter Busalacchi
Groomsman
Peter aka "Pretty Pete" is my older cousin and close friend. He was always someone I looked up to for his style, charm, and personality. My favorite memories as a 12 yr old are Peter convincing me to tell all my dirty jokes to his older friends. As we got older we became closer and had many nights out having fun and talking until 5am. He's somebody that I know will always have my back and always be there for me. I'm so happy to have him party it up with us on our big night.
Vincey Busalacchi
Groomsman
Vince or "Lil Vincey" as he's known is my little cousin and funniest person in the family (besides me lol). You are guaranteed a few laughing tears when he's around. It was an honor when he asked me to be his confirmation Godfather and since then I've took it upon myself to try and give him the best advice I could. But he doesn't need it-- he's hard-working, intelligent, and a go-getter. It's been amazing to see Olivia and his fiancé Jennae bond over the last couple years and I can't wait to make more memories and laughs as the years go on. I'm so excited to have him in my wedding and provide plenty of entertainment.
Sal Zizzo
Groomsman
Sal or "Sal Z" is my cousin, friend, and bandmate. He's the most athletic one in the family having played professional soccer for many years. I have very fond memories growing up playing video games together and any sport that had a ball. I was always envious of his athletic ability but so proud when he achieved his dreams and I could brag to everyone "My cousin is a professional soccer player". I am so excited to have him by my side and share the stage with him one last time!
Nino Zizzo
Groomsman
Nino aka "Little Nino" has always been the brains and organizer of the cousins. He is a natural leader even though he might not admit it. From being our fantasy football commissioner to video game tournament creator. He's humble, gracious, and always doing the right thing. We share the same creative passions and have bonded over them. He's a great dad and an overall great person and I can't wait to have him with me on my big day.
Pietro Busalacchi
Groomsman
Peter aka "Lil Peter" is my little cousin who became a close friend when we lived together for 3 years in Los Angeles. We had great conversation and a lot of fun over those years and I enjoyed introducing him to the city I lived in for 14 years. We bonded over our love of cooking, music and creative writing. It was a pleasure watching him grow up and become a businessman in his own right. I am proud of the man he has become and am excited to have him be apart of my big day!
Jonathan Barbarin
Groomsman
Jon aka Jonny B is one of my best friends since high school. We bonded in P.E and Speech class Sophomore year and were soon partners in crime. Everyone in my big family knows and loves Jon and that says a lot about him. He's a fantastic, articulate conversationalist and a chameleon in any social setting. I look up to him as a friend and businessman for his tenacious work ethic and courage to go after whatever he wants. He's been a huge part of my life for 20 years and I can't wait to make more memories with him and his fiancé Cristina.
Seth Caprai
Groomsman
Seth is Olivia's sister Katey's other half and father of my soon-to-be niece Venice. We met 6 yrs ago and were able to share a bond over our love of video games and food. Seth is easygoing, hard-working, and willing to go the extra mile for everyone in his life which I really admire. I strive for his patience. He is a great father to Venice and a great friend and protector to Olivia. I'm so happy that Seth's first opportunity as a groomsmen will be in our wedding and can't wait to celebrate with him.
Tyler Timmerman
Groomsman
Tyler is Olivia's brother who lives in Nashville with his two boys, Hayden and Philip. A common theme in society is for the boyfriend to be scared of his girlfriend's mean older brother. But that wasn't the case. We instantly bonded over everything under the sun. He is warm, kind, and very funny. I knew for sure when I met him that we would've been friends in our younger years. He is a fantastic father to his boys and a protective big brother for Olivia. I will be proud to call him a brother-in-law and so happy he will get to participate in all of the fun festivities.
