Wedding Party
Christine Gibbons aka Barbie
Maid of Honor
Every Brunette needs a Blonde and I have mine! We met in West Chicago at the Epsilon Office and she was the happiest little Minnie Mouse to show up (her first day was the Halloween Party). We've had a long distance relationship for the last 6 years yet the second we are together we pick up where we left off. She's the Barbie to my Teresa and I can't wait to have you with me on this next journey!
Joey Tamburrano
Best Man
Every bald man needs a buddy with beautiful hair! I’ve known Joey going back to before high school and have been best friends ever since. Joey and I lived together for several years at the “Condo” which was run like a well-oiled machine. We’ve had so many crazy nights living together and going out to the bars that we’ve lost track. I always look forward to hanging out with my brother when I come back into town.
Tracey Stanczyk aka Shetty P
Bridesmaid
I can't wait to officially call you my sister, you have welcomed me into your family and made me always feel apart of it. You're tiny but mighty our little Shetty P and looking forward to all of the couple vacations in the future!
Lena Riley
Bridesmaid
My Britney Spears - Footloose dancing - competitive game night playing Monica :) I think at a highlight shows just a couple reasons as to why you're beyond amazing. Who knew that we probably crossed paths a hundred times at ISU and never met. I'm pretty sure Joey set us up on a play date and it was love at first sight.
Sami Stanczyk aka Sami Girl
Bridesmaid
Our little actress in the family with her fancy footwork obviously needed to bring her sparkle to our wedding.
Frank Bertolini aka Baby Bert
Bridesman
My first introduction with Mr. Vegas himself was at the office for training after a long weekend in Vegas. Needless to say it is one of the few times that he wasn't his talkative self. There's no other way to describe Baby Bert than the fact if someone doesn't get along with him...there's 100% something wrong with that person. He brings sunshine to the world and everyone needs a Baby Bert in their life.
Sal LaBarbera
Groomsman
Saaaaaaaaaal is another great friend of mine since high school and share so many great memories! I really got to know Sal when I was making meatball in a cup at his dad’s pizza place or playing endless hours of NHL. Luckily Joey and I had Sal as our landlord at the condo or we wouldn’t have lasted 2 months!
Jeff Stanczyk aka Big Red
Groomsman
Brothers don’t shake hands, brothers gotta hug! Jiffy has been such a great husband, father, and brother in-law. I love the fact that I can call you my brother!
Jon Henry
Groomsman
Having a young Justin Timberlake as your friend in your adolescent years had its advantages. With his blonde ramen noodle like hair and my frosted tips, the girls at Stratford Square didn’t stand a chance. After Stratford was Zero Gravity in the Zeester and we haven’t looked back since.
Nick Maxwell
Groomsman
Couldn’t ask for a better friend than this guy! Nick and I have had many long talks in the basement or on the couch playing video games. I cant thank him enough for all the help that he gave to my parents.
Anthony Stanczyk aka T-Bone!
Groomsman
T-Bone! I’m so proud of my nephew and the man he has become! He’s a great student at NIU and I know he’s going to continue make everyone proud after he graduates. My sister and brother-in-law have done such an amazing job raising him and my niece.
Sara Blangiardo
Bridesmaid
Well Friiiiieeennnd, I still remember as a small niña that hearing the song "Sara" by Jefferson Starship in the 80's led to a complete emotional breakdown because I missed you. Even though you tried very hard to get me to believe that the sugar candy in the fruit shaped containers were for ghosts or invisible friends, which when I would turn around you would then proceed to throw something across the room and blame it on those "invisible friends". Thank you cousin for coming along for our adventure.
