Wedding Party
Rita
Maid of Honor
Rita is the sister of the bride. She is also honored with being the Maid of Honor. Rita followed in her sister's footsteps and is also incredibly passionate about dance. However, she is the highest level in Scottish Highland dancing, holding onto the highland roots of the family. Rita used to do ballet, but when the whole clan switched to Highland dancing, Rita stuck with it to go on to begin teaching. All four sisters have a dancing itch, but Rita made it her profession.
Sophia
Bridesmaid
Sophia and the bride met at a family event the brides parents were hosting 4 years ago. She just so happened to be back from college visiting, ultimately ending up staying in NC for an extended period of time. In that time the bride and Sophia bonded over reality TV, coffee, fashion, and have had countless sleepovers and a fun spring break to remember.
Antonella
Bridesmaid
Antonella, less formally known as Nellie, is number 6 out of 7, and looks for all eyes on her. She likes to practice the performing arts, her favorite is lyrical and ballet, much like the bride did up until college. Both dance styles she asks the bride for help to learn new techniques or ask what certain steps are called. She takes dancing to heart.
Thérèse
Jr Bridesmaid
Thérèse is the youngest sister of the bride. She is sassy, full of energy, and a huge animal person. She is the brides go to pet sitter, and veterinarian if she ever goes that far! But right now her dream is set on owning a pet grooming salon. Aside from animals, she is a strong competitive dancer, because you can't be a Staskiewicz girl without being a dancer at one point or another.
Cassidy
Bridesmaid
Cassidy and the bride have been friends since 2024, when Rachele moved to Wilmington and decided to take a history class (or two). Cassidy and Rachele just so found themselves sitting in the same row for two classes! From then on they explored Wilmington together, frequented boba and the beach, and had many photoshoots together.
Shja
Bridesmaid
Shja and the bride met in 2022 when they worked together at a rehab facility in Raleigh NC. There they bonded over their passion for nursing and Catholicism. They are what they call adoration buddies.
Aliciana
Bridesmaid
Aliciana and her husband, Jack (groomsman), are the two responsibly for setting up the bride and groom on a blind date that definitely worked out for the best! Aliciana's family and the brides family have been been friends for four years. have hosting many parties together and many other pool days.
Isaac
Best Man
Isaac and I go back to middle school where we met and hung out at HS football games. Thru HS we both wrestled and had classes together. When college came, he went to WSU and I to KSU but we both maintained regular contact; he's really good at that. The #1 most adventurous person I know, willing to try anything and everything! A big reason he and I mesh so well is we'd both jump off a house, or a bridge, or a cliff, or an airplane, or anything together. At this point there's too many adventures to count and we happily live vicariously through one another when we recount individual stories.
Jack
Groomsman
Jack and I met at Flight school while in Covid purgatory. He was the most established Flight School Catholic that ushered all the military Catholics that cycled thru Ft. Rucker. Despite our very competitive Catan, chess, Chiefs vs Eagles, and Army-Air Force rivalries we easily set them aside to help in every way we could at St. John the Evangelist Church. He and his wife Aliciana are the ones that set Rachele and I up on a blind date 1000 miles apart!
Brock
Groomsman
Brock and I met in KSU ROTC and shared the same Mechanical Engineering courses, so we had many many classes together and eventually became roommates. Brock is one of the goofiest self-aware down-to-earth dudes you could meet with a strong but casual sense of adventure. He'll get down to the best confusing songs you can find out there.
Myles
Groomsman
Myles and I were ROTC cadets at K-State. Alongside our Army Officer training, we were both big nature enthusiasts and adventurers. We found the best hike of our lives on an epic roadtrip and we shred the Colorado slopes as much as we possibly can. Myles is a self-acclaimed professional cheeseburger critic.
Derrick
Groomsman
Derrick and I shared a bed the very first night we ever met and our relationship blossomed from there. Rachele and Derrick's wife, Margi, are just jealous of how profound our chemistry meshes. Thank you to Ben, the 3rd intern roommate that locked us out of our apt on move-in day for setting the spark.
Mason
Jr Groomsman
Mason is the youngest of all of the Hoang cousins! He's a goofball with off-the-wall energy that could put the Energizer bunny to shame. He has always marched to the beat of his own drum, terror of sisters, king of the basketball courts, and meme connoisseur.
