Wedding Party

DJ Veasey

Best Man

The first time I met Patty Pat, was the summer of ‘06 during football practice. I remember talking with him about where I was from. He seemed intrigued about my background or was it my deep southern thick accent? So everyday he would talk to me because I couldn’t remember plays and he would give me pointers on what I should and shouldn’t do. Pat invited Trussell and I to his house during our first break of practice for some food instead of walking up to BK. Our friendship turned into close friends,close friends turned into brothers and now that bond is unbreakable. We’ve created so many memories from fights to drunk crying in the basement, and now I am the best man! I am honored for this once in a lifetime opportunity and I know she’s the one. You two are perfect, I love you both!

Aimee Zlotoff

Maid of Honor

I didn’t know Jenn prior to Cortland, but a mutual friend thought we would make great roomies, and of course, she was right! Jenn and I lived together all four years of college and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in crime! When we went out, people would ask where the other was, and usually we weren’t far behind. If you know Jenn well, you know she can be a bit stubborn. So, for 3 years, Stubborn Jenn had a “friend” named Pat. Pat was very obviously in love with my best friend from day one. I couldn’t have been happier when they finally decided they should be together, when visiting each other the summer after junior year. I can’t wait to share more memories of Pat and Jenn at their wedding! I am beyond excited to be a part of their special day and celebrate my favorite couple!

Sean DiIorio

Groomsman

Little does Jenn know, when Sean first met Pat he was already married...to the game.It was only right the friendship started on the hardwood.The love of basketball is just one of many things they had in common.That was just the start of a long and illustrious friendship. From countless late nights on Deerland Ave to Charlotte/NOVA, they have seen it all.When Jenn came into Pat’s life, I could tell from the start that it was for real. Seeing their relationship grow into what it is today and seeing how happy Jenn makes Pat has been truly amazing and I’m happy that I’ve had the privilege of being a part of it. When I heard that Pat FINALLY proposed (it’s about damn time!) I instantly started looking forward to September.Can’t wait to wait to officially celebrate Mr. & Mrs. Ranieri! Mazel Tov!

Tori VanEtten

Bridesmaid

The first time Jenn & Tori were introduced was in Alex Perry’s kitchen in 2013 ;) The Corning “kids” had heard all about Pat’s new girlfriend from Cortland and were anxiously waiting for Pat to bring her around. What a gem!!! Little did Jenn & Tori know, their friendship would grow pretty strong… all thanks to Pat & Sean. From their first road trip to Philly to attend the final 4 lacrosse championship, weekends spent brewery hoppin’ in Charlotte, their outing in Nashville, vacation to Turks & Caicos……should we go on??? They’ve continued to grow closer and closer. Tori is thrilled & honored to be a part of Pat & Jenn’s extra special day :) LET’S GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD!!!

Zac Clark

Groomsman

Zac is the only rival high school friend of the group. Despite attending a significantly higher quality school, Zac made an effort to hang out with the less fortunate. In doing so, he met Pat hanging around with his old middle school crew. Zac was a regular at the Wilson’s. Pat’s basement became somewhat of a second home. If you went to Pats, you were likely to see someone there. Regardless, the addition of a girlfriend to this particular group of friends can be a difficult task. Fortunately, Jenn could hang with the best of them, maybe even throw a jab or two if need be. All in all, the group was very pleased with Jenn. Zac is very excited to be sharing their special day with everyone. Let’s hope he doesn’t get too drunk.. Round of porters on me!

Danielle Groneman

Bridesmaid

Danielle & Jenn’s friendship is so old that they used to burn CDs for each other. The two started off as heated cross town high school softball rivals, in fact, they couldn’t stand each other. Thankfully, playing travel softball for the LI Chargers forced them to be civil and eventually their stubborn selves realized they were very similar and DESTINED to be best friends. Their friendship blossomed over music, fitness, sneakers, & sports. Danielle was living her best life at SUNY Cortland her freshman year and convinced Jenn to commit the following year and they became teammates once again. Danielle & Jenn remain close even though they live in different states. Danielle has been #TeamPat since day 1!!

Jarryd Blackford

Groomsman

I first met Pat in the spring of 2019 when a mutual friend invited a group to Charleston. Immediately, I could tell Pat I was an amazing guy. We quickly learned that we lived just minutes away from each other in Northern Virginia. After the trip to SC, we began hanging out and became incredibly good friends. Many of my favorite nights in Virginia were spent with Pat playing hockey or watching the big game. Naturally this led me to meeting Jenn. Since then, I’ve come to know the couple very well and am honored to be apart of their lives. Pat and Jenn are two of the most selfless and kind people I’ve met and I couldn’t be happier for them. Both of them are literally the type of people to give you the shirt off their back. I wish them a lifetime of happiness and can’t wait for their big day!

Lucia "Cheech" Meola

Bridesmaid

Lucia and Jenn met at Cortland, when another bridesmaid, Danielle, vouched for her coolness on her first day at softball practice. They quickly became friends when they bonded over their love for good tv shows, the Giants, and knowing how to have a good time. And to top it all off they were both PE majors! Over the years, they became even better friends, eventually ‘coaching together’ their final year at Cortland. Post college Jenn, Pat, and Lucia got even closer by traveling and getting to do fun, new things together. The three are always down for a road trip, tailgating for a football game, or even a quick pit stop to the beach! Lucia couldn’t be more excited to share this special day with Jenn and Pat!

Brian Guilfoyle

Groomsman

I met Pat in the 9th grade, and I knew right away he was a great guy then. We went through our high school and college years making an uncountable amount of unforgettable memories. Today, I am very proud to call Pat my friend, and very lucky to have such a solid friend. I couldn't be me more happy for Pat and Jenn, and I wish them all the luck and happiness as they begin this new chapter!

Charlotte Franco

Bridesmaid

It all started their freshman year of college. Charlotte really needed better roommates, and Jenn really needed someone to turn off her lights. Every night for an entire semester, through rain, sleet, and lots of snow, Charlotte would answer Jenn’s desperate texts for help with the oh so tricky light switch. Their friendship eventually grew through common interests like sports, ice cream, being slightly overweight as children, and dating (marrying) guys named Pat. While the two don’t live close enough to turn off each other’s lights, they’ve managed to stay close, traveling to North Carolina and Texas just for a quick hello.

Patrick Brosnan

Groomsman

The first time I met Pat he was sitting in the living room of my college house on New Years Eve. Pat was already half way done with an “everybody drink your own 30” day. Years later I moved to Virginia to regroup with him and found the Reynolds Street Gang at the locals only watering hole across from 7/11. I am looking forward to once again reuniting in VA for his wedding with the Reynolds Street Gang!

Madison Buckley

Bridesmaid

The first time Maddy met Jenn, Jenn was hammered…therefore it was friendship at first sight. Maddy and Pat B moved down to NOVA in 2016, and thankfully, had a mutual friend in Pat W (thanks Sean). From the start, the 4 bonded over the usual things: football, beer, and laying by the pool with casual beers. With time, their friendship grew into Sunday night dinners, group trips, and laying by the pool with massive amounts of beers. From the nights way back at Reynolds Street, the epic Turks and Caicos group trip, and the best sausage and peppers on the PLANET, the 4 of us grew super close during our time in NOVA. I’m pumped to celebrate these two on September 10th, 2021….but holy sh*t Pat it took ya long enough!!!

Alex Ranieri Jr.

Groomsman / Brother of the Bride

Hey y’all! I’m Alex, Jenn’s brother and best friend for 28 years and counting! I think it’s been over 8 years now since I met Pat for the first time at a family party and couldn’t be more amped he and Jenn are tying the knot. I realized very quickly how much he cared for Jenn and continues to put her first day in and day out. Soon thereafter, I learned he was very family oriented, selfless and always took the time to invite Kristina and me to as many events as possible, from VATech games to lazy weekends in VA eating Ted’s Tarts and fine dining at this nice Alexandria establishment Shooters. Although we haven’t been able to make as many hangouts as we’d like to, I have no doubt we’ll make many more memories together in life. I couldn’t be happier for you both and can’t wait until 9/10/21.

Victoria "Dolly" Wilson

Bridesmaid / Sister of the Groom

Victoria and Pat’s bond extends through many years; from family vacations to giving him rides in high school to Virginia Tech Football Games and the list can go on and on, filled with other shenanigans in between. The two of them have experienced many adventures together. Though, the best one yet, welcoming Jenn into our family. From that moment, Victoria and Jenn have shared their love for country music, family, friends, dogs (especially Frosty, Blizzard and Smokey) and Hokies Football. Victoria has known since day one that Jenn was perfect for Pat. She can’t wait to have her as a sister!
