Raymond & Angela
Wedding Party
Brian King
Best Man
Brian and I have been best friends since kindergarten. There are so many stories I could share on here, we have been through it all. From the time I had to pick him up, in his underwear and timberland boots at 4am from a gas station in Blackwood, to the day he asked me to be the Godfather of his first son Logan Patrick, he's always been like a brother to me. Knowing our boys will grow up together means the world to me. One day they will be BBQing and drinking beers just like us, sharing the same crazy experiences. During some of the biggest moments of my life, Brian was by my side. Couple recent notables would be when I went ring shopping for Angela's engagement ring, the Eagles/Vikings game that clinched the Superbowl and the night geZfinity LIVE opened for an EAGLES SUPER BOWL WIN!
Eric Stettnisch
Best Man
I met Eric while playing Junior Legion baseball in West Deptford. He was a computer geek with a NASTY Split-Finger fastball. We both were fortunate enough to get scholarships to West Virginia Wesleyan College to play ball. We decided to be roommates in 300 Doney AKA 3D. I was there for Stetty's first drink, when he thought his eyes were melting. It was quite the experience needless to say. We both kind of learned from each other. Eric, an only child like me, is the closest thing to a real brother I have ever had. We lived together, we have fought each other, we truly have been there for each other through the ups and downs. And even though he lives in Afghanistan (Mt. Laurel) we always make time to go back to the "young us" by taking in a Flyers game at the Grassy Knoll!
Carmen Costa
Groomsman
Nooch is the third leg on the tri-pod. I have had the luxury of having this big schweetie in my life since kindergarten when my mom and Mimi told us we were to be best friends. I'll never forget growing up at his house. Sweating in the back room with no air conditioner in the summer, crushing fried bologna and cheese sammitches, and playing video games until Pots and Pans would yell at us to go to bed. Now we're all grown up, we still don't have anything in common, and our lives have gone in separate paths, but I know if I pick up that phone he'll always be there to steer me in the right direction. Carmen has always been the one to talk the most sense into my thick skull. He's a great friend, a great role model, and he's the reason I second guess some of my choices.
Todd Billig
Groomsman
I met Todd freshmen year in high school. We had a lot of classes together and played all the same sports. His pop even went behind my dads back to sign me up for hockey!! I spent all four years of high school living in the Billig's basement. Todd and I did everything together, from sneaking beers in basement to late night parties that usually ended with us getting yelled at by Mr. B. Side note: We are still looking for anyone to give us a challenge in a game of wiffle ball.
Brian Billig
Groomsman
I met BuBu during my 4 year stay at the Dowdy Drive Summer Resort. Brian is Todd's younger brother, which means he was my younger brother too. We always drug him along on our "outings." Brian learned to party from the best. We played baseball and hockey together also. He was unlucky enough to be best friends with Nutz, who never beat Todd and I in any back yard sport we played, especially wiffle ball. Now Brian's all grown up and the chance for him to get the Gold Medal in Counter Sliding is slowly fading. Lets hope he can get back to "Old Brian" form to make this wedding a memorable one!
Anthony Petrutz
Groomsman
I met Nutz through Brian Billig during our high school years. We were always freeloading at the Billig's house. Eating their food, sneaking their beers, burning things that we should have burned in the fire pit. Even though we were a year apart, we still wanted to go to college together. He ended up getting into WVWC just as I was "asked to leave." Soooo that plan fell through, but we did manage to join the same Fraternity making us brothers for life. We still are like family, we make wine together at Dickey's Winery, and when the nights right, there's always time to squeeze in some BEATS LAB with DJ MIXED NUTZ!
Matt Campbell
Groomsman
Camby is my #1 roll dog. He's the guy that texts you at 9am with the "you wanna get drunk and do things?" text. "Like bro, its 9am....lemme put some pants on, I'll be over." As one of the Founding Fathers of the "Knoll Squad," we try to get to as many Flyers games as possible and we'll even sprinkle in a few Eagles and Phillies games just to keep it interesting. He's always there to lend a hand or an ear and he's always the first one in line for a good time. The last few summers of our lives, we were the Kings of Sea Isle... and then we got old and now have bills to pay. We will be back!!
Bryan Ciconte
Groomsman
I've known Bryan since high school, but he was too cool to hang out with the Paulsboro kids next door. I know he would sit at his window watching us play wiffle ball everyday after school and wish he could be out there with us. We really didn't start hanging out until we both were sent to the Police Academy by the Greenwich Twp. PD. After that we spent a lot of time bar hopping, golfing, and playing for the Bellmawr Tigers baseball team. I was honored to be apart of his wedding party as well. We now have a new thing in common, parenthood!! Although we don't get to hang out as much anymore since we're on opposite shifts, we still keep up with the baby stories and an occasional golf outing.
Jason Williams
Groomsman
My big headed friend Jason has been a bad influence in my life since I met him playing Junior Legion baseball. His wife swears I'm the bad one, but stories all end up with him being the one that started it all. (This is where Nikki is totally calling me a liar) Jason and I were always roommates during baseball season and since we both snore so bad, no one else wanted to room with us and we had our own room. I got to travel all over the country playing baseball with my best friend. We seen a lot of crazy things playing ball, even fat old guys jumping in hotel fountains after clinching the World Series.
Phillip Pettersen
Groomsman
My cousin Phil has always looked out for me since I was a little kid. He taught me how to play video games and we still play today. Super Tecmo Bowl was the game and you know you were getting hit with a halfback sweep right with Thurman Thomas!! We have been through a lot in our lifetime. Phil is one person I can go to with any problem and he'll always be there for me. He's been my teammate in the backyard games at Club Gezzi and were still undefeated in washers 5 years and counting. Over the past couple years, we have been going to Canada to fish, something I hope we can do for years to come and even bring our boys along when they get older.
Anthony Gezzi
Ring Bearer
My son, my world, my reason to get up and go to work every day...mostly because I have to start saving money for all the sports equipment and fishing gear I'm going to have to buy him in the next 18 years. So glad I'll have my best buddy by my side when I marry his mommy.
Logan King
Ring Bearer
When Brian asked me to be Logan's Godfather, I was overwhelmed with joy. This little guy always has a smile and a high five ready for Uncle Ray. I'm pumped that he gets to be apart of my wedding!!
Robert Ferretti
Officiant
Whether it's Reverend Rob, Bishop Bob, or Pope Putz, we are lucky to have you marrying us on our big day. Bob and I have become close over the past few years, despite the age difference. Ever since we moved into our house, Bob has always been the first one to lend a hand moving, building, cooking, and drinking to get geZfinity LIVE started. We spend a lot of our time out on the water fishing, smoking cigars, and busting each others stones. If there's a problem I can't solve myself, Bob is the first person I call. He's truly saved my butt a few times!!
Sheritta Coleburn
Maid of Honor
Sheritta aka Ritta and I have been best friends for over a decade. Since Freshman year of high school we have become more than best friends, we've become sisters. From living at her house practically all throughout high school, to sneaking momma Chrissy alcohol (sorry mom), to climbing out her bedroom window to head to our friend Shawn's house, to jumping in my car last minute to visit her in college or Boston there was nothing going to separate us. You continue to always push me toward my goals in life and without a doubt I am extremely grateful to have you as my best friend. I can't wait to share to my special day with you.
Bridget Carr
Matron of Honor
My sistaaaa!!!! For many years we've share our lives together. I have no idea how the hell she put up with me, living under one roof for so many years. We have fought, cried and laughed together so many times and I wouldn't change it for anything. As we gotten older and gone our separate ways, we've grown closer than ever. Throughout life's challenges we've come to understand how much it is to need each other. I can always turn to her for any advice regardless if it's something big or small. Bridget has turned into my best friend, mentor and hero. I love you!
Shevon Parsons
Bridesmaid
Shevon "Nicole" my oldest sister. Having you as a older sister makes me one of the luckiest girls in the world. I can't begin to describe how incredibly talented, smart, reliable and funny you are. Over the years you have become a roll model for both Bridget and I. Even though I asked for many many favors over the years, it's only because I know I can always depend on my big sis. Thank you for giving me rides when I was younger, making me coffee when I was running late for work (which still hasn't changed) and answering all my stupid cooking questions (so I don't put my family in the hospital). You have taught us no matter what curve ball life through's at you, you can always achieve your dream. Love you so much!
Christina Nelson
Bridesmaid
Nelson! My road dog! My ace! My girl! Words can't even describe how much I love and appreciate her. Christina has been there for me through countless times. If it weren't for my sister Bridget introducing me to her best friend in high school, I wouldn't have gained not only a best friend but another older sister. She was the one who pushed me to go on a date with Ray and take a chance. If it weren't for her I wouldn't be marrying my best friend.
Chassity Abad
Bridesmaid
Ever since I met Chassity in high school we clicked instantly. We were in some classes and ran track together. I spent a lot of time at your house... AND THEN YOU LEFT ME FOR THE ARMY!! Even though we are so far apart from each other, we still managed to remain best friends. Watching you raise them two beautiful girls, just shows what a super mom you really are. You are definitely my hero. One day, we will make it out to see you in paradise, but until then we'll have to settle for facebook and facetime.
Teresa Byrd
Bridesmaid
Our friendship really started to bloom after high school. From clubbing to bar hopping, you're always the life of the party. You have an amazing personality and are so much fun to be around. There is never a dull moment when I'm with you. You are always the first one to volunteer your time to help us with our events. You truly mean the world to Ray and I.
Kayla Meenan
Bridesmaid
Since the first day I met Kayla I knew there was something about her. From her carefree attitude, love for a good time and crazy personality, I knew immediately we would be good friends. You always have me laughing with your bluntness and smart ass remarks. Even though we haven't known each other for a long time I feel as though we have similar personalities. You have helped me in so many ways during and after my pregnancy. I can't thank you enough by answering all my crazy questions. I'm truly thankful to have you in my life.
Dana Benne
Bridesmaid
I met Dana through Raymond when we first started dating. He had nothing but great things to say about his childhood best friend. You're like a sister to him. I couldn't agree with him more. You're a funny, talented, caring, and most of all, genuine! You've treated me like one of the family since the day I met you and I'm thankful for that. I'm honored that you will be by my side on my big day!
Jayla Cruz
Flower Girl
My dear niece Jayla, my mini me. You remind me so much of myself when I was your age. Between your passion for dance, love for gymnastics, fierce attitude and let's not forget loud mouth (LOL). It's amazing how much you're growing into such a lovely young lady. I couldn't be more proud to be called your aunt. I love you to the moon and back munchkin.
Joanna Carr
Flower Girl
Joanna "banana". The first time I saw you, it was love at first sight. You're so smart, loving, funny and have the most wildest imagination. When you smile it lights up the room and brings joy to everyone's heart. I'm loving every moment of watching you grow. Stay sweet my love!
