Nina & Michael
Wedding Party
Mila Juliette Kosoy
Flower Girl
The bride didn’t think twice about putting this little angel in charge of her flowers. Look at her- she’s a natural! Miss Mila is the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Igor Kosoy, very close family friends of the bride.
Mason Spaulding
Ring Bearer
#1 Sunday pasta eater and #1 in the couple's hearts! (He's also about to be a big brother himself!) Mr. Mason is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Nathan Spaulding, the groom's cousins.
Sofia Balan
Junior Bridesmaid
She’s the bride’s little sister and biggest supporter. Catch her on TikTok @crazycookoosofie This little nugget has been Nina's sunshine since the day she was born. She's primed to be the best junior bridesmaid anyone has ever seen, and one day the world's best aunt.
Blake Finlayson
Best Man
Nothing but the Best from this "Uncommon" Best Man. Michael and Blake's friendship began in rowing shells and blossomed to a mutual understanding of all that is great in life- food, family, and lots of fun.
Jacqueline Cilulko
Maid of Honor
Traveling the world with the bride since first meeting almost 15 years ago. Her person, her light! Jackie & Nina's friendship began when they were 10 in Taekwondo and blossomed through middle school PE avoidance, ballroom dancing championships, and all things food. They have visited each other across continents, and used each other to make decisions for as long as they can remember. In college, Jackie minored in Russian and joined Nina's sorority. She pushed Nina to study abroad in London and to chase after every opportunity. Nina couldn't have imagined this day without Jackie by her side. Jackie has been and will always be a constant- something that's never been a second thought. When asked what should be in her bio, "Just how I’m your favorite person ever, the wind beneath your wings".
Katherine Guzenfeld
Maid of Honor
30 seconds into a conversation with this girl, you’ll think you’re talking to the bride. A lot can be said about Katherine, but the thing that resonates most to the bride is that this girl is nothing short of her soul-sister. Kat has described Nina as the big sister she never had, and that could not be more true. Nina and Kat's friendship is one of the defining factors of Nina's college experience, for which she could not be more thankful. From Boston to New York and everything in between, she's her best friend for life.
Lisa Petrowski
Bridesmaid
The groom’s sister and the bride’s Sunday afternoon soul sister. Unlike the typical sister-in-law relationship, Nina and Lisa became friends instantly. Since meeting, they've shared countless Perfectos Dates and late night talks. She's also the bride's Fenway going-out buddy.
Michael Bowse
Groomsman
Has known the groom since Kindergarden. Undefeated couples mini-golf champion.
Jacquie Balan
Bridesmaid
Officially sisters since 9/1/18, she loves the couple so much that she’s letting them share her wedding date. Nina and Jacquie met in high school drama club! 8 years later, Jacquie married Dimitri and Nina finally got the cool big sister she has always wanted.
Dimitri Balan
Groomsman
He loves the groom so much he let him propose to his sister 2 weeks before his own wedding! The bride's big bro- lover of all things football, hot sauce, dog, and good scotch. The running joke is that Nina always had to copy him in everything- from restaurant orders to the color of his school notebooks. His wedding day, as it turns out, is no exception. The bride is happy sharing this day with one of her best friends and biggest supporters!
Leah Magid
Bridesmaid
She got the bride through college and now she’s getting her through the happiest day of her life! Leahchka has been Nina's person since living 3 doors down from each other freshman year. She brags about her constantly, and is her biggest supporter. Leah and the bride will share their Russian-speaking, secret-keeping friendship for life.
Cory Cataldo
Groomsman
The couple asked Cory to film the wedding, but he liked the groomsman gig more. Catch him on instagram @corydatcat
Jessica Torregrossa
Bridesmaid
The bride’s first friend in college turned life-long dance partner. Jessica and Nina met the first day of BU freshman year orientation. The first week of school, they met the university dean covered in body glitter. Since then, they've tackled college, boys, and life together as Thunder Buddies and Public Health Pals.
Danny Warner
Groomsman
College roommate and life-long wingman (until he met the bride, of course).
John Giuggio
Groomsman
The groom's known this guy so long, he can remember when he was "skinny".
David Giuggio
Groomsman
As the youngest groomsman and neighbor, it took David 18 years to beat the groom 1 on 1 in basketball.
Michael Gillespie
Groomsman
Short-term work buddy, life-long fishing buddy.
Sam Pratt
Groomsman
Sam has been an old friend of Michael’s since the high school rowing days. After many years of separation from college, Michael, Sam, and even Nina have built a relationship that will last a lifetime.
Andrew Merlino
Groomsman
Closest cousin by day, professional engagement photographer by night. Andrew took the ferry from Hyannis to Nantucket 2 hours before Michael in order to be in place for the proposal. He is responsible for their beautiful lighthouse photos!
Daniel David Leary
Officiant
The Man. The Myth. The Minister. Full-time cancer scientist, part-time ordained minister. Daniel is one of the bride's best friends from college. For him and the groom, it was "bromance at first sight". From ugly sweater parties, to all-you-can-eat sushi, to insightful philosophical conversations about life, this guy has been through it all. He was always going to be a VIP guest, but after the couple's engagement he told them that he had recently become ordained. It was then they knew that no other officiant could measure up. You'll love him as much as they do. It's an honor, a privilege, and complete trick of fate to have him conduct the marraige ceremony of Nina and Michael.
