Shaina & Adam
Wedding Party
Kiersten Roberts
Matron of Honor
Central Dauphin Middle School - Over 15 years of friendship and not a thing has changed (except for last names). From volleyball, to prom dresses, to college adventures to standing by each other’s side through all chapters in life. No matter the time that has passed or the distance between Kiersten and I, she will always be my go to person. You will 100% find Kiersten breaking it down on the dance floor on August 6!
Vince Delle Grotti
Best Man
Stevenson University - Vince and I met at Stevenson University as lacrosse teammates which doubled as us also living in the same dorm building. After starting our friendship as teammates, it quickly became clear we would be friends for life. Fifteen years later and we still talk about all things Italian, golf and memories that last a lifetime. He’s been waiting 15 years to give the crowd a little roast about me. Lucky for him, this wish came true as I’m sure we are all in for a real treat on August 6!
Leah Alessandrini
Matron of Honor
Central Dauphin High School - Leah just speaks my language. From over the top bling and sequins, to themed parties, to baking, to reality TV shows and to taking extra to the next level, Leah is my biggest supporter. When you are with Leah, you are in for a wild time. We have been friends through the good and the bad. I can’t wait to stand by her side in March as she becomes Mrs. Alessandrini and I can’t wait for her to stand next to me!
Chris Pupo
Groomsman
Harrisburg - Even though Chris probably thought/still thinks I am a pain in the butt, I have always looked up to him. As his younger brother, I have learned so many life lessons from him. I quickly learned how to beat him in all competitive things from sports to video games. One of the perks of having an older brother is we both turned 21 at the same time (thanks for the duplicate ID). I can’t wait to have Chris standing by my side, even though he didn’t have much of an option.
Kayla Sundseth
Bridesmaid
Harrisburg - Kayla is basically a real life version of Elle Woods, except maybe a little shorter. She has a heart of gold and is such a beaming ray of sunshine. Despite our obvious appearance differences, I have always idolized her as the sister I never had. We can thank our moms for being friends in high school, as for us, it has been a lifelong friendship since the start (quite literally). I am so thankful for our friendship (and sisterhood)!
Michael Fetchko
Groomsman
St. Catherine Laboure School - Mike is one of my oldest friends that I have known since 2nd grade. We share plenty of elementary, college and after college memories in our now grown up (or semi grown up) lives. From running the playground, to high school parties, to college visits, and to PSU games (WE ARE). Mike is loyal and has always been one of my biggest supporters. He has been with me through it all and I can’t wait to have him stand by my side through my next journey.
Alyvia Walters
Bridesmaid
Central Dauphin High School - I met Alyvia during the glorious days of gym class in our junior year of high school. There is no one more genuine and truehearted than Alyvia. She is a book loving, adventure seeking friend who is truly one of a kind. Without fail, Alyvia listens and makes everyone around her feel loved. Alyvia loves to have a good time, especially after a quick siesta, and I can promise you she will always bring the good vibes!
Drew Daise
Groomsman
Stevenson University - Drewww!!! Drew and I met at Stevenson University as lacrosse teammates who also lived in the same dorm building. Coincidentally enough, Drew was also from Harrisburg. All the good times we’ve had together have been truly irreplaceable. He will unintentionally make anyone laugh, is always down to grab a drink with you and above all, an incredible friend. I couldn’t imagine this wedding day without Drew standing next to me.
Megan Hancheruck
Bridesmaid
Towson University - It all started with a quatrefoil, a lot of pink and pearls on Phi Mu’s bid day circa 2012. From then on, I always remembered Meg as the blonde with big curls, lashes and sparkly ugg boots. Meg has always been my down chick. I can count on Meg to bring the good vibes, debatably good dance moves and champagne. I cherish all of our memories together, the ones we can share and really shouldn’t share, and I’m so happy to have her standing by my side!
Michael Gustowarow
Groomsman
Stevenson University - Mike and I met at Stevenson University where we were lacrosse teammates (notice a pattern yet?). He was a year older and just so happened to be the perfect person to show me the ropes around campus. Our friendship is one where we can go a while without talking, but when we see each one another, we are able to pick up like no time has passed at all. Watching Mike go through his exciting life moments and becoming a father has been something I will always cherish. I am so glad he will be a part of this special moment for me!
Alexis Cohen
Bridesmaid
Towson University - Alexis and I first met on the infamous awkward “big little date” in Phi Mu. In walks a bubbly blonde with her Lily Pulitzer, pearl and Jack Rogers. From the crafting date to roommates in Baltimore, Alexis has always been a shoulder to lean on, a listening ear and a friend with wine in hand when needed. I live vicariously through her and all of her adventures, because this girl has a story for everything. I’m so lucky to have this ray of sunshine standing next to me!
Thomas Castiner
Groomsman
East Carolina University - A trip to ECU brought an unexpected friendship with Tom. We clicked immediately and I knew he would be a lifelong friend. Tom’s go with the flow demeanor makes it easy to love being around him. We’ve had some unforgettable trips visiting one another in our cities. I am thankful to have him stand by my side!
Jessica Woods
Bridesmaid
Towson University - Jess and I have been friends since college and my best memories with Jess are at Green Turtle. She is honest, even when you don’t necessarily want to hear it, and loyal until the end of time. I admire her sense of fashion, but even more, I admire her passion for those around her she loves. There is never a dull moment with Jess and she will unintentionally make you laugh. I cannot wait to see what her future holds and I am so happy to have her by my side!
Andrew Schickner
Groomsman
Canton - Andrew and I met through mutual friends in Canton. It just so happened we both lived on Kenwood Avenue. The saying of Baltimore, aka Smaltimore, being a small city holds true. Our memories that have evolved our friendship over the years, have been some of the best. I am grateful for our friendship and excited to have him be a part of this special day.
Lexi Campbell
Bridesmaid
Towson University - Lexi and I have been friends since college, which we can thank Lambourne for. She is lighthearted, caring and charming with an unmatched ability to light up the room. Lexi is the epitome of beauty inside and out. I admire Lexi’s confidence and independence. She has always been my down chick and never says no to a happy hour. I value our friendship and I am so lucky to have her standing by my side!
Reed Hagmann
Groomsman
Capital Office Solutions - You really never know who you’ll meet throughout your life especially at the most unexpected times. Reed and I met at Capitol Office Solutions seven years ago. He is a supportive and loyal friend and a huge advocate for my success throughout the years. I have always valued Reed as a mentor and someone I can confide in about anything. From losing sports bets to winning it all back at the casino, I am lucky to have Reed standing by my side!
Brianna Markowitz
Bridesmaid
Towson University - There is no better friend than a teacher friend. Bri’s loyalty is unmatched and she would go to the end of the world for anyone. She is the type of friend who would drop whatever she is doing if you ever need a shoulder to lean on. I can talk to Bri about anything whether it be what color manicure to get or #TeacherProbs. I will always cherish our friendship and I love having a friend like her by my side!
Michael Liberto
Groomsman
Canton - The third Mike’s a charm! Mike and I met through mutual friends in Canton, which to my surprise, Mike also lived on Kenwood Avenue. He quickly became the third musketeer alongside Andrew and I, with no doubt, that he was the true troublemaker on the block. From selling Shaina and I our first home to helping us with our house projects. I’ll give him the weekend off from selling houses to celebrate with us.
Gina Brooks
Bridesmaid
Harrisburg - It can be nerve wracking meeting your significant other’s family for the first time, let alone an older sister. When I first met Gina, those worries of meeting the older sister quickly vanished. Gina is fun loving, down for a good time and genuine. From her work as a police officer to being an incredible mama, she truly does it all. Not only am I lucky to have her stand by my side, but I’m even more lucky to be able to call her my sister!
Justin Mensh
Groomsman
Harrisburg - Justin is Shaina’s brother, aka an added bonus to marrying into the family. Being around Justin brings me back to my younger days that I always enjoy reliving. From beach trips, to PSU games, to bouncing around Baltimore, Justin knows how to have a great time. I am extremely lucky to become a part of their family and to be gaining Justin as my brother-in-law. This wedding party wouldn’t be complete without him in it!
Jimmy Dailey
Ceremony Reader
Stevenson University - Jimmy and I met at Stevenson University as lacrosse teammates. Celebrations weren't always on the field, especially in October, since our birthdays are only one day apart. He has always been there for me and I value his continued support. I am so glad to have him in my corner and to be a part of our special day.
