Nicola & Leonardo
Wedding Party
Lela Gentry
Matron of Honor
Lela has been my longest and dearest friend (25 years). We met at the Hopewell Presbyterian Nursery School at age four. Though we never went to the same school, we always found time to get together. From getting stuck in a river in our canoe, to putting in a whole cup of salt instead of sugar into our chocolate chip cookie mix, to getting coffee and catching up or watching friends, we always have fun and may laughs. Lela is a dietitian at weight watchers. She is a loving and dedicated wife, whom earned her masters degree at Teachers College, Columbia University. Lela is my person; a strong and inspiring woman I can always count on through the ups and downs of life! Thank you for being apart of this special day!
Jennifer Hong
Bridesmaid
Jen is a friend that feels like we have been friends forever (my SVU marathon and shopping buddy). Jen and I met in 2017 at Teacher's College, Columbia University. We had so many laughs and cries while talking on the phone for hours trying to survive teaching full time and earning our master's as a literacy specialist. Jen is a passionate, dedicated, and loving pre-school teacher in New York City. Jen thank you for always being there for me, even though we are miles apart! We are so glad that you are apart of our special day!
Monica Sanchez
Bridesmaid
Monica is Leo's sister whom I am very excited to be my sister in-law! We love when her and her boyfriend Jordan comes to visit. Always a good time; watching romcoms, playing board games, to staying up late and having good drinks and laughs! We cannot wait to go on trips with her and Jordan to continue to create memories. Monica is a dedicated Outreach Care specialist in Connecticut. We are so glad that you said yes to being apart of our special day!
Chelsea Prosser
Bridesmaid
We met our first year of College at Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania. We not only become shopping buddies, but became roomies and close friends. Chelsea is a hard working web specialist in Maryland. She is also passionate about empowering individuals to live healthier through recipes, clean food swaps, and using toxin free products. She is engaged to a wonderful man named James and will be getting married in the fall of 2021! Chelsea thank you for being there for me even when miles apart! I am so blessed that you said yes to being part of the special day!
Juhi kapadia
Bridesmaid
Juhi and I met at a Friendsgiving in 2017 at Leo's house. Little did we know that we would both end up dating the Sanchez boys. We continued to get to know each other on our many double dates with them. The boys know that us becoming close friends was going to be trouble. Juhi is a dedicated and passionate graphic designer at BioFarm Communications. Thank you for many laughs and girl talks. You are more than just a dear friend, you are family! We are so glad that you are part of this special day!
Toni Morris
Bridesmaid
Toni and I met our freshman year of college at Alvernia University and we have been dear friends ever since. Even though she lives in PA and I in NJ, New Hope tended to be our meeting spot, where we got to meet the turkey looking cat at Farley's Bookshop and even left a note in the guestbook. Toni is an admirable registered BSN, RN, ONC nurse and mom of two wonderful children. Toni thank you for being a dear friend of mine and apart of our special day!
Diego Sanchez
Best Man
Diego Sanchez is not just my brother and best man, he's my best friend who I have jalapeño contests with. From growing up to sharing a room, to going to the same university, to moving in together in an apartment in Somerville for many years; we have had a lot of good times. Diego is an architect and is passionate about photography and art. He has recently opened up an online shop for his photographs. Thank you Diego for being part of this special day!
Richie Lutz
Groomsman
I've known Richie since High School. To say that we have done and gone a lot is an understatement. When I first really met Richie, he came to my house on my Birthday after a shift at the Clinton Station Diner. He introduced him self to my parents and gave them FREE Straws. From the day we did everything, I would say, a normal high schooler would do, going to abandoned insane asylums to have through parties when my parents weren't home.
Eric LaMarche
Groomsman
I met Eric in college when he had an interview to join our Fraternity. During his pledging process we got to know each better as any good college student, in the library ........ He asked to be my little brother and we shared a bottle of Soco. After he officially joined the fraternity he really became a brother and we started to go to any soccer game that we could.
Ricardo Sol
Groomsman
Ricardo is one of my cousins but the closest in age out of any of them. Growing up, we always went on family Vacations. We all became very close (My siblings, Ricardo and Rodrigo), even though we only saw each other once a year. We got to travel the world with them and when i moved to Mexico, Ricardo always made sure i felt at home and made sure when i visited him in Queretaro he invited me out with all his friends. A funny moment I will never forget is my 23rd birthday.
