Wedding Party
Cristina Pimenta
Bride
Dr. Nicholas Libio
Groom
Kristin Wazen
Maid of Honor
Kristin and Cristina happened to live in the same apartment building in Delray Beach, FL when they were introduced by their mutual friend, Mike (who Cristina went to high school with). The three have spent so much time hanging, laughing, and growing together over the past several years and are now best friends and totally inseparable. Kristin is as intelligent as she is stunning, with the biggest heart and most infectious laugh! As time has gone on, Kristin has truly become like a little sister to Cristina, and she cannot imagine anyone more fitting to serve as her Maid of Honor.
Anthony Libio
Best Man
Anthony is Nick's younger brother, and the two are only 15 months apart. As kids, they did everything together, from playing video games to riding bikes to absolutely kicking each other's butts! Because of this, the two are practically the same person, and Nick can't imagine anyone he would rather have more in common with. Anthony is one of the most hardworking, caring, and funny people Nick has ever known and he is proud to have him as his Best Man. Today, Anthony lives in British Columbia, Canada with his wife Jess and daughters Juniper and Iris, but no matter how far apart they are, Nick and Anthony will always be each other's best friends in life!
Marissa Pecevich
Bridesmaid
Marissa and Cristina met through their mutual friend, Morgan, who studied with Nick in a "Semester By The Sea" marine biology program at Florida Atlantic University. Cristina knew they had hit it off right away, bonding over their mutual love for pickleball, happy hour, and all things travel. Marissa is effortlessly cool, gorgeous, and one of the kindest people Cristina has ever met. Sometimes two people just immediately connect on a soul level, with the ability to talk for hours and never get bored -- that's Cristina and Marissa in a nutshell!
Abilio (Bito) Pimenta Jr.
Groomsman
Bito is Cristina's younger brother and her "built-in" best friend. Growing up, Cristina and Bito were all but attached at the hip, doing everything from music to sports to hanging with each other's friends together! Bito also met Nick at Plantation Middle School and was just 18 when Nick and Cristina first started dating -- so after so many years and countless holidays, vacations, and major life moments spent altogether, Bito is probably the one person who knows the couple better than anyone else. Because of this, Nick truly thinks of Bito as one of his own brothers and is beyond honored not only to be marrying his older sister, Cristina, but to have someone who is so charismatic, fun, and supportive by his side at their wedding.
Sabrina Oprea
Bridesmaid
Sabrina is Nick's cousin (on his mom's side, Ellen's daughter) and Shawna's little sister. Having become a part of Nick's family over the last decade, Cristina truly thinks of Sabrina as HER cousin and one of her closest friends. From her baking skills to her beauty to her sassy nature and incredible sense of humor, there is nothing Cristina doesn't love about her Bean and she is so grateful to have Sabrina by her side both in life and on her wedding day!
Dr. Cameron McAuliffe
Groomsman
Cam(eron) was Nick's classmate and roommate in veterinary school at Michigan State University. They met through their mutual friend and Nick's lab mate, Julia, and clicked over a game of disc golf with Jack. From that point on, the three became best friends and lived together for 3 years (on Alpha Street). From long nights studying, to countless hours playing beer die, together the "Alpha Boys" worked hard and played even harder. Before graduating vet school, Cam convinced Nick and Cristina to join him in his hometown of Traverse City, MI, where him and Nick would work side by side at the same animal hospital. Today, they live only one building apart in the same complex, and Cam continues to show the couple what it's like to be a true Northern Michigander!
Shawna Kersting
Bridesmaid
Shawna is Nick's cousin (on his mom's side, Ellen's daughter) and Sabrina's big sister. Having become a part of Nick's family over the last decade, Cristina cannot imagine a more loyal or loving cousin than Shawna. She is a wonderful wife to Kasey and mother to Kalynn and Kasen, on top of being one of the most gorgeous, caring, and hilarious people on the planet! Cristina looks up to Shawna in so many ways and is so grateful to have her as a bridesmaid.
Dr. John (Jack) Bock
Groomsman
Jack was Nick's classmate and roommate in veterinary school at Michigan State University. As soon as they met through their mutual friend, Julia, Nick and Jack became best buds and forever beer die teammates. Nick also became close with Jack's parents, who owned the "Alpha House" and frequently hosted the guys and their girlfriends at their home on Silver Lake in South Lyon, MI! Today, Jack serves as a veterinarian in the United States Army, stationed near Washington, D.C. Though they are no longer living in the same house, let alone the same state after graduation, Nick and Jack will remain lifelong friends and hope to one day reunite and open a veterinary practice together with Cam!
Julia Krieger
Bridesmaid
Juli(a) is JJ's wife and the two met Cristina and Nick while living in the same apartment complex in Delray Beach, FL. From the moment the two couples began hanging out, they got along instantly and had more fun than they could have ever imagined! From cooking meals, to traveling, to playing countless hours of board games and pickleball -- these four have done it all together. Juli is fierce, beautiful, and one of the best cooks with the sweetest hearts Cristina has ever met. Cristina and Nick are confident JJ and Juli will be their lifelong "couple" friends, always connected no matter how far apart!
Jeffery (JJ) Krieger
Groomsman
JJ is Juli's husband and the two met Nick and Cristina in 2019 while living as neighbors in Delray Beach, FL. Both JJ and Juli's spontaneous and hilarious personalities made it fun and easy to spend time with them and the couples became fast friends! Even after they moved to Coral Springs, FL, Nick and Cristina had no problem making the drive over to pickle, cook dinner, or spend all night playing board games with JJ and Juli. The future Libios are forever grateful to have met the Kriegers and Nick is beyond thrilled to have JJ as his groomsman!

Amy Scroggin Armistead
Officiant
Amy and Cristina grew up together attending the same church in Plantation, FL. Cristina and Bito Jr. even started a band in youth group with Amy and her brother, Sam, called P.E.A.C.E. where Cristina sang and played bass, Bito played guitar, Sam played the drums, and Amy sang. Cristina looks back on this time with the fondest memories of playing music, laughing, and just having the most fun together! The Scroggin and Pimenta families are still close to this day -- Bito Jr. and Sam are still best friends (plus former roommates and fraternity brothers), and Amy and Sam's parents Rebeca and Doug have spent a lot of time in Portugal with Melissa and Bito Sr.! Amy is now an ordained United Methodist pastor living in Ormond Beach, FL with her husband, Macon, and has started a new church called "The Gathering Place" in Daytona Beach. Cristina and Nick are so grateful to know Amy and to have someone with such a kind heart and beautiful soul officiating their wedding!
