Jill and Olivia spent that summer creating an incredibly close forever friendship, and Olivia knew she just had to have Miss Jill Terry with her on her big day.

She was the good luck charm. Olivia is thrilled to have Melissa as a bridesmaid for the first Damore-Flamporis family wedding!

Christina was a cheerleader for Olivia during her "Say yes to the dress" moment when Olivia made the final decision to pick her dress. Christina rounds out the perfect bridal party for Olivia!
Zachary PlessZachary Pless
Best Man
The oldest of the Pless Bros, Zachary and Caleb met when Caleb was born and they have been brothers ever since. They grew up very close and spent their time tackling each other in the front yard, performing in shows together, and arguing about very specific game rules for longer than the actual game would take. Zachary has been a very important figure in Caleb's life and that deserved an important duty, being the co-Best Man!
Gabriel PlessGabriel Pless
Best Man
Gabriel is the youngest of the Pless Bros. They met when Gabriel was born and they became brothers. Caleb and Gabriel spent their time growing up together performing in shows, rapping to radio songs and playing improv games 1v1 (some lines still quoted to this day.) They grew up very close together and Gabriel has been an essential presence in Caleb's life so it made perfect sense that Gabriel be granted the important title of co-Best Man!
Lauren BassLauren Bass
Groomswoman
Lauren and Caleb have been friends for over 10 years! They met at college in Western Kentucky University's theatre department. While they used to joke about being "forever never dance partners" that all changed in 2021 when they both got to work at County Tonite in Pigeon Forge, TN for 2 years together. It is a friendship that has withstood the test of time and distance and built on a strong foundation of quoting SpongeBob, Margaritas, and arguing over which is better- Bourbon or Whisky. It was no question at all that Caleb needed his best friend (aka beat driend) by his side!
Preston DildinePreston Dildine
Groomsman
Preston is Caleb's "brother from another mother." They met in 2017 on a contract in Pittsburgh, PA doing murder mystery dinner shows. They would then go on to work that contract together for the next 4 seasons. They quickly bonded over their mutual love of all things Halloween! Preston even introduced Caleb to all the classic 80s slasher films! Being such a close friend to both Caleb and Olivia, Preston had to be included on the big day!
Jared EatonJared Eaton
Groomsman/Officiant
Jared is a new but close friend. Caleb and Jared met working at The Stephen Foster Story in Bardstown, KY in 2023. Once they discovered the other's extensive board game collection they became quick friends. They got even closer when Jared housed Caleb for a contract he was working. They spent their time playing as many board games as they could! They now enjoy messaging each other any and all board game related news or updates they find! Jared also acted along side Olivia in SFS in 2024 so having him be a close part of the Wedding was a must!
