Michael & Maegan
Wedding Party
Katie Smith
Maid of Honor
Katie is Maegan’s older sister and her best friend. Maegan is grateful to have Katie as her lifetime role model and confidant. Maegan thanks Katie and her red planner notebook for keeping her on track with wedding planning (and keeping it fun). Maegan already knows she won't be able to get through the wedding day without Katie by her side.
Matthew Johnston
Best Man
Matt, or better known as that guy in all of Mike's travel pictures, has been friends with Mike since college in 2012. Whether in Central America, Africa, or the Arctic Circle, Matt has always been by Mike’s side for the big moments in life, and this one is the biggest. Supposedly to keep Mike humble, Matt has always had a good knack for ridiculing Mike in all of the (definitely too much) time they spend together, and Mike expects nothing short of the best jokes in Matt’s best man speech.
Abby Bardanis
Flower Girl
Abby and Maegan met at the lunch table in 7th grade and have been friends ever since. Many inside jokes, weekends at the lake, pizzas from Mark’s, and backyard bon fires make up their lifelong friendship.
Daniel Smith
Groomsman
Daniel, Maegan’s brother, is the newest of the groomsmen in Mike’s life. Mike is looking forward to gaining his first brother-in-law through Daniel. Maegan is so happy that her little brother (who will actually be the tallest of the whole bridal party) will be there for their special day.
Emily Lodato
Bridesmaid
Also known as Maegan’s long lost Italian sister, Emily is among Maegan’s first friends she met in Baltimore. From navigating their first real job together, to late nights out in the city, to all of early adulthood’s highs and lows, Emily has been there every step of the way.
Guido Massaccesi
Groomsman
Guido and Mike have been friends since they both moved to Baltimore in 2013. During that time, they've lived at furthest 0.6 miles away from each other and as close as 28 feet apart. Guido is notable for holding the title for most visits to the Cianfichi beach house in Delray Beach, always making sure Mike had someone to watch football with during study breaks in law school, and for having an even more complicated name than Mike.
Lauren Bannister
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Maegan were introduced in Mrs. Fortunato’s 5th grade class. Whether it was working together at the local library or driving aimlessly around town singing to top hits of the 2000s, these two were and remain partners in crime.
Kent Miller
Groomsman
Coming soon as Mike's brother-in-law in March 2023 - Kent entered Mike's life when he started dating Mike's sister Maria. Mike and Maegan are looking forward to having an older brother to look to for wise advice. Kent will be bringing the fun down from NYC!
Madison Smith
Bridesmaid
Maegan was lucky to have Madison assigned as her freshman-year roommate. From then on, they grew extremely close and remained roommates for the rest of college. Madison is a firsthand witness to Maegan’s journey from awkward freshman to awkward adult.
Matthew Matera
Groomsman
Matt is the longest tenured groomsmen, having known Mike since Calvert Hall high school before being Mike's roommate all 4 years of college. Yes, Matt has seen all the versions of Mike: from punk rock band Mike in 2007, to Italian satchel-wearing Mike in 2011 after study abroad, to fedora Mike of 2017, and now married Mike of 2022!
Maria Cianfichi
Bridesmaid
Maegan is happy to be gaining a sister like Maria. They have enjoyed many laughs together during visits to Baltimore and New York City. They share many common values, like making fun of Mike and working to get him to become an appreciator of wine.
Michael Whyms
Groomsman
Michael and Michael met during freshman year of college when Michael (Whyms) often crashed on the floor of Michael (Cianfichi)'s dorm floor. They were roommates for the last 3 years of college, dominating the Looney’s Pub weekly trivia scene (as Mike & Mike in the Evening), dominating the Looney’s Pub happy hour scene, and even dominating the UMD intramural basketball scene (well, at least one of the Michaels).
Nicole Cook
Bridesmaid
Nicole lived across the hall Maegan’s freshman year and became a roommate and close friend throughout the rest of their time at Loyola. Nicole was also the first friend to predict that Mike would be sticking around in Maegan's life.
Patrick Kind
Groomsman
Patrick and Mike met freshman year of college, with Pat living just 3 doors down. Like all the other groomsmen, Pat has been a regular in Mike's life in South Baltimore since everyone moved there after college. As much as Pat enjoyed stories of Mike's horrible dates, he couldn't be happier to see Mike finally find Maegan (who in turn set Pat up with his now-girlfriend Taylor).
Priscilla Korompis
Bridesmaid
Maegan and Priscilla met at their first job as graphic designers in Baltimore. They quickly grew from coworkers to close friends, bonding over their love of design, appreciation of food, and struggles with men. Priscilla is responsible for getting Maegan out the door for her first date with Mike.
Rachael Scott
Officiant
After Rachael and her husband Guido selected Mike to serve as Minister Mike for their wedding, Reverend Rachael became an obvious choice. Rachael has been an important friend in Mike’s life since they met on a kickball team in 2014, and in Maegan’s life since Mike introduced them on just their fourth date. Since then, Maegan and Rachael have grown close over their mutual goal of getting Mike to want a puppy.
