Wedding Party
LeighAnn D'Alessandro
Bridesmaid
LeighAnn and Christina met at their middle school bus stop in the sixth grade. They quickly became friends after countless walks to and from school. They have been through all the stages of life together from high school marching band to standing by each other's sides as they each marry two men who are also childhood friends. #TeamMeatball
Mike Gerbino
Groomsman
Since 2009, 8th grade, Mike and Steve became best friends and that has not changed since. He has been there for every high and low in Steven's life, always steady, always loyal. Also, Mike told Christina to, "Just give Steven a chance." and is the reason we are all here today. Having him stand by Steven's side as a groomsman means more than words can describe.
Lauren Sisken
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Christina met working at a daycare center in college. They bonded over the crazy ride that is the early 20s. Whether it was going out and having an adventure, or staying in and listening to Y2K music videos, they've always known how to make memories together. Christina can't wait to make more memories on this special day with her by her side!
James Juhrden
Groomsman
Steve and James became friends in high school. He is the reason why Steven became a police officer. Numerous nights after James' shift, Steven and James would get dinner talking about life and the job. Those conversations turned into a lifelong bond, and they have been best friends ever since. Having James as a groomsman is an honor and a reminder of how much influence James shaped Steven's life.
Angie Juarez
Bridesmaid
Angie and Christina taught together in Jersey City where Christina quickly realized she needed a spirit like hers in her life. From late night hangouts to cry sessions on the phone, Angie is a ride or die friend. Christina couldn't have this day without her by her side.
Ryan Lozada
Groomsman
Lozada and Madman (Steve) first met as classmates at the NJ Transit Police Academy, but did not become close until they were assigned to the same squad during their first year on the job. From that point on, they became partners in every sense of the word. They shared some of the toughest moments and some of the best ones together, building a bond that only comes from working side by side. Having Lozada stand with Madman as a groomsman represents a partnership forged through long nights, real challenges, and unwavering trust.
Matthew Collier
Officiant
When Christina and Steven were discussing who should marry them, they wanted someone who they felt valued marriage the same way they did, and cared about both of them equally. They both agreed, Matt was the perfect guy for the job! Matt had always been a great friend to Christina back in her Jersey City days. When Christina finally met Steve, him and Matt developed their own friendship (rooted from their love of bourbon of course). They're delighted to have such a great friend marrying them on this special day.
