Renee & Joseph
Wedding Party
Crystal Erb
Maid of Honor
How I met the bride: I met Renee my freshman year of college in Foundations of Education class. We were actually intimidated by each other at that point - I was too loud and she was too quiet...clearly, we've moved past this! Favorite memory with the bride: There are too many to pick just one! Living together in Munro 105, road trips to Vermont, and the numerous nights we spent eating our feelings in ice cream and watching The Grinch. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: For sure Iron Man. Tony Stark knows how to party. Ideal wedding dessert: Cannolis and pie! What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: Joe’s face when he sees Renee looking like a queen...and the speech.
Aaron Fucci
Best Man
How I met the groom: I think it was at the hospital, I don't really remember because I was just born. Did I mention he is my older brother? Favorite memory with the groom: There are too many to pick just one; sports, vacations, hanging out...they're all good. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: Easy... Tom Brady. Gods are superheroes, right?! Ideal wedding dessert: Cannolis! What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: Hanging with family and friends....and seeing Joe and Renee get married.
Jordan Price
Bridesmaid
How I met the bride: It was my freshman year of college at our first floor meeting - we instantly bonded over our passion for serving kids! Favorite memory with the bride: Hurricane Sandy canceled classes. We had multiple adventures including a dorm room fort and a performance of the classic High School Musical song “Bet On It” in the hallway. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: Tony Stark-I could just stare into his big brown eyes all night-or Peter Parker-adorable and funny? Perfect choice for a plus one. Ideal wedding dessert: Vanilla cake pops with sprinkles! What I'm looking forward to about the wedding: The inevitable moment when the DJ plays “As Long As You Love Me” by Justin Bieber-I can finally display my rap skills with Renee as the BEST hypeman. Or am I the hypeman?!
Peter Fucci
Best Man
How I met the groom: It was by force. Favorite memory with the groom: Going on vacations together, visiting him in school, and playing sports together. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: Keanu Reeves. He may not technically be a superhero but I think we all can agree he should be considered as one. Ideal wedding dessert: Lots and lots of cake! What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: Seeing Joe and Renee happy together and all our family together
Catalina Marino
Bridesmaid
How I met the bride: My freshman year at Eastern Nazarene College - Renee was my RA’s roomie and we were forced to be friends. Just kidding, we bonded over our rad personalities and the rest is history! Favorite memory with the bride: Back again to my freshman year - during the Hurricane Sandy we made a fort out of beds and then made a legit music video to Bet On It - Troy Bolton, High School Musical featuring Jordan Price. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: King Bob - best minion around. Ideal wedding dessert: Ice cream and warm doughnuts! What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: Hitting the dance floor with the Future Mrs. Fucci and the Fucci Gang...and watching Renee attempt to use the bathroom in her gown!
Brian Carpenter
Groomsman
How I met the groom: Since Renee is my sister, naturally I met Joe when she brought him home for the first time. It wasn't long before we formed an alliance and we have been antagonizing her ever since. Favorite memory with the groom: When one of Renee and my good friends first met Joe and interrogated him in our living room. Joe was hardly phased and didn't run away - which was a pretty good sign. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: Spider-Man (Toby McGuire version) because then I wouldn't be the only awkward one on the dance floor. Ideal wedding dessert: All the red velvet What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: Gaining three brothers...even if only through marriage ( I've lived with only women for far too long).
Bekah Zolkosky
Bridesmaid
How I met the bride: I’m pretty sure I just barged into Renee’s room freshmen year of college and forced her to be my friend. Favorite memory with the bride: All our weekend sleepovers at my apartment, shopping trips, and our entire vacation to Ocean City this past summer! I love jamming in the car with Renee more than life itself! Superhero I would invite to the wedding: I would bring Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield version) because he’s awesome and then we could hook him up with Jordan. Ideal wedding dessert: Cheesecake! What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: I’m super excited to spend time with everyone in the wedding party - can’t wait to be crazy with my girls (and hang out with Joe because he understands my sarcasm without feeling offended 😊)!
Mike Fucci
Groomsman
How I met the groom: I didn't have a choice, I was forced by family relation to be associated with him. Good thing he likes Star Wars! Favorite memory with the groom: The first time we got drunk-drunk off of maraschino cherries that is! We were just kids and we must have bribed the bartender into giving us well over 100 cherries that night. Needless to say, we were able to keep up with our parents through the late night. #sugardrunk Superhero I would invite to the wedding: Batman. Ideal wedding dessert: Red velvet anything! What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: Tearing up the dance floor. Or should I say...tearing up...because I know Joe will the first time he sees his beautiful bride. And...the dance floor...cause a guy has to have a good excuse to get up and dance!
Riley
Wedding Mascot
How I met the bride & groom: Renee took me to her house when I was 8 weeks old and I've been there ever since. When I was one and a half, Joe came into the picture. He played tug with me once and I was sold. Favorite memory with the bride & groom: Any time Renee and Joe bring me with them on a hike or spray the hose in my face. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: Easy...Catwoman. Ideal wedding dessert: I don't discriminate. I'll take any scraps you're willing to sneak under the table. What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: Unfortunately, I can't be at the wedding...but I will be there in spirit (you'll find out how when you get to the wedding)! I will anxiously be waiting for them to return and for Joe to be one of my official humans!
Joey Burrows
Groomsman
How I met the groom: I honestly don’t remember the exact day we met...it’s a blur because I feel like we have been friends for life. But it was most likely in high school. Favorite memory with the groom: Hartford...Plymouth State...say no more. Superhero I would invite to the wedding: Batman. Ideal wedding dessert: Cake. What I am looking forward to most about the wedding: The food!!!! Sorry Fucci, it's definitely you and Renee (but come on now...it's really the food)!!!
