Jason Keller

Jason is Dina’s biggest fan and was the first one to tell Philip that she was the one for him. Jason and Philip lived together their graduate year at Bentley and Jason was practically the third tenant in Brooklyn.

Eric Flack

Groomsman

When Eric was first introduced to Dina, he told Philip that she was great and a really great match. Philip met Eric through Bryan Monti, later Eric ended up joining Philip at Bentley University.

Alon Michaeli

Groomsman

Alon has more in common with Dina than he does with Philip! Philip met Alon through Bryan Monti, and Philip immediately told everyone that this big man from Israel was his new friend. Alon worked at GR Reid with Philip and now in 2021, he moved to Miami and works for Philip at Related Group.

Bryan Monti

Groomsman

Bryan is the one of the oldest friends of Philip; Philip and Bryan have know each other since middle school when Aidan and Bryan's youngest brother became friends in preschool! Bryan has always been supportive of Dina and Philip and even though he is almost always away, he makes sure he’s there for the big events.

Anthony Marra

Groomsman

Philip and Anthony go way back during the St Patrick’s dek hockey days; Anthony was always impressed by Philip’s goaltending. Philip and Anthony became close friends after Philip realized that he was Bryan’s neighbor friend! Anthony will dance until 5AM at the clubs just like Dina.

Joanna Mackow

Maid of Honor

Joanna and Dina met through their best friend Grandmas 25 years ago, instantly becoming family. Dina spent more summers at Jo's house than her own becoming the third triplet. Their going out scene has been upgraded since the McDonalds play place but endless slumber parties and these mermaids beach bumming is forever. Jo was team P before Dina even went on a date with him and knew he was unlike the rest!

Monika Mackow

Maid of Honor

Monika is Dina’s oldest friend, becoming best friends 25 years ago just like their grandmas. Sisters from the start, these two communicated through gymnastics way before speaking the same language. From camp talent shows to walking down the aisle at each others weddings, Mon and Dina are inseparable. Fun fact, Mon added Philip in her phone as Dina’s future hubby years before he proposed!

Daphne Spector

Bridesmaid

We are all gathering here today because of Daphne-DP's matchmaker. Daph worked with Dina in NYC and is one of Philip's first college friends. It all started one day at work with "What do you think about my friend Phil? Little did Dina know Daphne's college friend would turn out to be her future husband! And The tres amigos lived happy ever after.

Inga Knox

Bridesmaid

Inga is Dina's one and only older cousin and has known her since Day 1 of life. When Inga first met Philip, she realized that Philip has an uncanny resemblance to her own trophy husband and that this boy was a keeper. Turns out Dina is getting married at the exact same age as when Inga was bride. The Bystryak girls think alike amirite?

Lindsay Zallis

Bridesmaid

Lindsay and Dina met working in media in Manhattan. Linds was there from DP’s beginning and was the first friend to witness the two as an official couple. Dina was like “I think I’m dating Daphne’s little friend!” A fellow Lady of Brickell, fate brought DP and Linds all back together to the same neighborhood in Miami a few short years later.

Melissa Title

Bridesmaid

Melissa and Dina met at the UofA and are the definition of sorority sisters for life. #MELINA are always twinning-even getting married a few months apart to Cancers who like baseball. Melissa just knew Philip was future husband material from only a picture and was the one who convinced Dina to meet Philip for the infamous Cinco de Mayo adventure.

Nicole Castaneda

Bridesmaid

Dina met Nicole her first night out in Miami and became besties right away. Quickly after, they became the Ladiez of Brickell, the ultimate Miami clique. Ironically, Nicole is Dina and Philip’s Neighbor so they all dance partied through Quarantine together. All New Yorkers, Nicole has shown DP the Miami way as they continue to wine and dine through the 305.

Rachel Behling

Bridesmaid

Rachel and Dina are NYC roomies, they found each other on Craiglist when they were apt hunting in Manhattan. The two lived together for almost 5 years in the most legendary UES apt. Rachel and Philip are both Dina's opposites-watching sports and reading books so naturally Rachel accepted Philip as he overstayed his welcome at E 66th.
