Pam & Aaron
Wedding Party
Diane Giangreco
Maid of Honor
The day one ride or die. Whether it was falling asleep making up stories together in their twin beds, or racing to beat all the red lights on the way to Pingry so they wouldn't be late Diane was alway there through thick and thin. Thank you for holding your little sister's hand, and letting your little mini-me follow you around even when you didn't want to. Pam is so very lucky to have this baker, dancer, photographer super lady, as one of her big sisters. Always the M to her M. Love, Dobby.
Karen Giangreco
Bridesmaid
The fearless leader of the pack of five. Pam always looked up to her biggest sister. Karen freely gave her editorial skills to many a late night (And probably procrastinated on) college paper. Not to mention giving Pam a place to live when she first started out in Film/TV in the Big Apple. Thank you for all the harmonizing, and life chats about the big things. "Frodo would not have gotten very far without Sam."
Victoria Morgan
Bridesmaid
It was very fateful day in 2006 at the old Big Blue when Vicky first came up to say Hello to Pam. From that first moment Pam has always been amazed at Victoria's ability to make a new friend at every place she goes. To know Victoria is to know a fiercely loyal, sometimes mischievous, larger than life soul. Vic, is one in a million, thank you for always bringing the party, and knowing the name of the cooky cookie lady next door.
Katie Laughlin
Bridesmaid
Pam was not expecting this pink glitter bomb when she hit her, but much like glitter, Katie has brought so much unretrievable sparkle to Pam's life. (And she wouldn't want it any other way.) The word that comes to mind with Katie's friendship is unconditional. From long night chats in college to three hour FaceTime sessions to this day, the inside jokes are endless, and the shadiness just the right level. KTGlitz, is the best listener in the game, a truly kindred spirit.
Elizabeth Grasso
Bridesmaid
There is something truly special about sharing your early 20's in the streets of NYC with your chosen family. Liz Grasso is one of the pack, she will always do the research, read the subreddit, in fact even do the math on the bottomless Soju. Thank you for understanding Locatelli is the one true cheese, for memorizing the set schedule, and for being the most consistent phone answerer of all the millennials. Peg loves Leg.
Alyssa Sthay
Bridesmaid
Anyone who works in film and TV knows that the friends that you make in it have seen you at your highest highs, and have also witnessed the lows. Through it all Alyssa has been one of the most consistent and joyous parts of that adventure. Alyssa is a muppet, a liquid, seemingly always reinventing herself. May you always try to ride the quarter seal in front of the bodega, go for the new hair color, and have many more uncontrollable giggle sessions. Pam will be right there giggling with you.
Alexis Aldridge
Officiant
Alexis is Aaron's doting and far more reasonable big sister (a title she certainly did not ask for initially, but has always excelled at). While watching over her little brother since Day 1, she dedicated herself to making up for all her brother lacked both Athletically as a nationally ranked soccer player and Academically with 200% more post-graduate degrees than her younger sibling. She took all she learned from sharing a household with Aaron and put it to use as a middle school math teacher, a far less stressful job. Alexis has been Aaron's first and greatest example of drive and patience and continues to be his best and oldest friend even despite being a golfer now.
Matt Bruno
Groomsman
Aaron's first and dearest friend from Seton Hall Prep, they met before classes had even formally begun while waiting for Freshman Cross Country to start (it was the one sport Aaron didn't have to learn rules for) and their fates sealed when they supported one another declining their creepy coach's unprompted invite to "go for a swim." Matthew's largest claims to fame are his massive head, beautiful wife and daughter, and many unanswered crimes for being a Packers fan in the heart of Giants country (or Jets country? I dunno, football's the one with the orange ball right?) Matt and Aaron's constant debate may sound like bickering to most, but is actually a passionate exercise of constantly daring the other to be better and think larger.
Richard Molloy
Best Man
Aaron and Ol' Dick met on a frozen street corner while working on a trash television show called "Believe." Don't remember it? Kyle MacLachlan was in it... you know, the guy from "Showgirls" and "Twin Peaks" and also the reboot of "Twin Peaks" You can find Kyle McLachlan's IMDB Below: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001492/ What? Oh yeah, Rich. Richard has been foundational in Aaron's post-academic development as they spent many a night haunting New York Punk Clubs and Arcades always present whenever fate posed a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in Aaron's way with his signature motto: "always doubt yourself." (Also in case you were wondering, yes, his head is also remarkably big. Richard's, not Kyle MacLachlan's...)
Mark Feier
Groomsman
New Jersey's premier "Plant Daddy" Mark had the misfortune of being introduced to Aaron before he knew better. Citing Vampire rules: once Mark let Aaron into his house, he kind of never stopped coming? Mark and Aaron have been inexorably linked by their love of board games, left wing political theory, and outings featuring the menagerie of friends known as "The First Family." Mark's head is of normal size, but his heart rivals that of a Christmas morning Grinch. He has been one of the most constant believers in Aaron as he rose through the ranks of the TV Business and remains one of Aaron's chief counselors.

Michael Giangreco
Groomsman
Michael Giangreco is Aaron's soon-to-be brother in-law and resident Tubologist (aka Tuba Player). Aaron's source for all things Musical Theater, he is the tall and gentle foil to Aaron's stout, brash, and oft-unasked-for thoughts on matters ranging from "is Tuba technically heavy metal?" or "Who would win in a street brawl? Rogers? or Hammerstein?" Michael is a welcome and excellent companion to Aaron and Pam's comedy and theatrical outings and Aaron is excited to count him as a new-found brother.
William Giangreco
Groomsman
Aaron's soon-to-be brother in law and fellow outspoken member of their family. Both the baby boys, Aaron and Billiam are want to indulge in the occasional music jam or VHS showcase and leave no piece un-critiqued! Bill has been generous enough to share with Aaron such classics as Diane's Baptism and also Herbie Rides Again! Aaron has been honored and enthralled to have shared these finer things and learn their appreciation with Bill. Bill has also largely expanded Aaron's understanding of the Disney library as is a pre-requisite for acceptance by any of the Giangreco siblings... Their shared mischief and irreverence are one of the bonds Aaron is most grateful for as he is welcomed into Bill's life for many more Wii-bowling strikes, and kite flying adventures.
