Kristen & Derek
Wedding Party
Sabina Parker-Stewart
Matron of Honor
Best friend of the Bride. This girl was the infamous HS sophomore cheerleader, that took in the new freshman girl (from the rival middle school) under her wing the very 1st practice of the season. From flying together on the sidelines, to becoming amazing mothers, this girl has been my rock and safe place always. Thank goodness our little girls are besties too, because I simply cannot do life without her! Love you!
Alex Wagner
Best Man
Best friend of the Groom. Might as well call us the 13th street boys! Our friendship started as just two kids in elementary school & we haven't looked back since. We shared the field together as teammates since childhood & our friendship flourished off the field, never faltering. We've made our fair share of memories over the years, and I couldn't be more grateful for you. Blood truly couldn't make us any closer and you'll forever be my brother from another. It's nothing but babies and memories. Love you bro.
Shardae Celestino
Maid of Honor
Best friend of the Bride. From being awkward middle school kids meeting in REACH doing the morning announcements, to running a dance team, and working out - she is a REAL ONE! You can count on her to be there to listen without judgment, give ALL the fashion advice, or just for an all around great time! I cannot recall a time that I’ve been around Shardae without laughing, even while breaking a sweat creating some choreo. The Double to my Mint – I love you forever!!
Stephen Lopez
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom. AKA Screech! Growing up, every kid wants their own room, but God had different plans for us. What came with sharing a room our entire childhood was our strong, close bond. The one thing I never had to worry about was you having my back whenever I needed you regardless of the situation. You have quite a big personality but I wouldn't trade you for anyone. Love you Bro.
Corinne Suppa
Bridesmaid
Aunt of the Bride, but I’d say more like a big sister figure! From being there for my first steps, being my first bully or annoyance, to taking me to my first color run or enjoying some amazing concerts, she’s been there for all the big moments in my life! You are a great role model and I’d like to think a lot of my good qualities come from growing up around you! Thank you for standing by me for yet another big moment – I love you!
Blayke Taddei
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride. The little brother I never had! It's been a honor to watch you grow from a boy into a man. You're one of the most genuine, kind-hearted individuals I know. You continue to make me proud with your perseverance & hard-working mindset. Watching your bond with my kids, especially D'mitri, warms my heart. He's lucky to call you his Godfather. Love you bro.
Alyssa Lopez
Bridesmaid
Sister in-law (fellow outlaw or PIC), married to the groom’s brother. She may be a newer sister figure, but a sister nonetheless! Alyssa is smart, caring, thoughtful, giving.. she has all the good qualities you could ask for when adding a member to the family! Thank you for being you, talking out the craziness of wedding planning together, and stepping into the Aunt role for my littles! Love you sister, thanks for standing with me while we make this thing official!
Alec Lopez
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom. I'm so proud of the man you're becoming. We've had our ups & downs over the years like typical siblings do, but the one thing I never doubted was the love you have for the family. You're an amazing uncle to my kids, always greeting them with hugs and a huge smile. I have no doubts you'll be a phenomenal father yourself one day, and I cannot wait to see it. Love you bro.
Ciara Berringer
Bridesmaid
Aunt of the Bride, but another big sister figure! She taught me to read, gave me the chicken pox, and was around for crucial teenage moments (including the first boyfriend *insert DLo here* LOL). She has always given me great advice, and knew early on I would one day be standing at the alter with Derek. Thank you for standing with me at said alter – Love you so much!
Alec Taddei
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride. AKA Skrap - My guy & another little brother I'm blessed to have in my life. You're one of the most protective human beings on this earth when it comes to the people you love. I know without a doubt that if I ever come across a dilemma, you wouldn't hesitate to have my back, no questions asked. I'll always cherish those beach memories when we'd stay up late, kicking it back on the porch, just vibing. The music & drinks never disappointed. Love you bro.
Brynleigh Lopez
Flower Girl
Daughter of the Couple. Our very own little sassy Queen B! The one who has a smile that lights up a room! The one who made us parents. Mommy is thrilled you get to lead her in on such a special day, and Daddy cannot wait to see how stunning you will be in your dress. *inserts Glinda's toss-toss* Love you sooooo much!
D'mitri Lopez
Ring Bearer
Son of the Couple. Our firecracker boy. This kid is as loving as he is our wild child! He can go from running around and dancing, to giving a bazillon kisses, and then be out like a light the very next second. Daddy cannot wait to see you lead Mommy in alongside your big sister. And Mommy cannot wait to see you leave your sister in the dust and run to Daddy. Love you to Infinity and Beyond!
