Jessica & Ricky
Wedding Party
Kelly Parente
Matron of Honor
Thank goodness for East Stroudsburg University and Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority- sisters by chance and best friends by choice! Jessica likes to say, "every brunette needs a blonde best friend," and someone who will rap Lil Wayne anytime and anywhere.
Gianni DiOdoardo
Best Man
Ricky and Gianni were baptized together on the same day 40+ years ago; birthdays are 9 days apart in March...need we say more? Ricky has shared most of life's greatest moments, events, and "record book" moments with Gianni. Their stories and memories are ENDLESS.
Lena Gower
Bridesmaid
Soon to be Jessica's stepdaughter who keeps us hip on all things trending!
Nico Gower
Groomsman
Always smiling and laughing; Ricky's mini-me and soon to be Jessica's step son!
Emily Bettys
Bridesmaid
Another 'thank you to the Chamber' for bringing her into our lives! She started as Jessica's assistant, ended up being a forever friend.
Joey Murante
Groomsman
Ricky and Joey met over race cars, trucks and snowmobiles (albeit Ford vs GMC & Ski Doo vs Arctic Cat) during a Chamber Event and immediately became friends forever.
Ashley Lorah
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Jessica have worked together for 3 years. During that time, they have grown together as great teammates and friends. Ashley is incredibly reliable and always up for a good time! She is someone that lives out the motto - YOLO (you only live once)!
Johnathan Ehritz
Groomsman
Johnathan is Jessica's cousin. You will not find a kinder, more compassionate soul in this world than Johnathan. Jessica and Ricky have enjoyed many family gatherings and holidays with Johnathan. And he is a great cousin to Lena and Nico!
Ileah Harris
Bridesmaid
Jessica's Palmerton Blue Bomber friend since 6th grade. Remained friends during all of Jessica's interesting hairstyles and phases during life. Need we say more?
Brian Heffernan
Groomsman
Ricky and Brian met in March 2006 on a snowmobile trip to upstate NY. 'Acted up' together since day one; some of Ricky's best times have been with Brian on snowmobiles.
Rebecca Whalen
Bridesmaid
Birthday twin to Jessica, someone that is always up for a good time, including a nice cold brewski! She will be the one to request either a Kenny Chesney song, Thunderstruck by AC/DC and right there singing Spice Girls with Jessica!
Jason Pozniak
Groomsman
Ricky's college golf teammate and fraternity brother. Poz has been a good friend for a long time; he and Ricky have some great memories and great stories to tell about the 'good old days'. Poz has the better swing and better golf game hands down!
Jennifer Lynn
Bridesmaid
Jen and her family are our forever home neighbors that have easily become our chosen family. Jessica feels as though she has known Jen for decades. We are both looking forward to our families growing up together!
John Hayes
Groomsman
John is a great friend, mentor, and supporter of both Jessica and Ricky--simply, a class act. John is one of those rare individuals we can lean on for sound advice, a helping hand, a good cigar, and many cocktails over good conversation. He is very special to both of us.
Kylie Adams-Weiss
Bridesmaid
Thanks to the Chamber for this friendship! Kylie joined Jessica's team and very easily became a good friend and not just during the 40 plus hour work week, but someone who we have many good times with on off hours. Kylie is a good ying to Jessica's yang.
Tom Rieger
Groomsman
As you all know, Hellertown is a special place to us and we met Tom through our affiliation with the Hellertown/Lower Saucon Chamber. Tom has become a really good friend to both of us; a friend who is always there. Tom is one of those people who we can always lean on for support and conversation over a tall glass of Sir Walter Red! We have had some fun times together and there's nothing better than getting Tom laughing endlessly!
