Wedding Party
Hannah O'Rourke
Maid of Honor
Sally met Hannah in a hospital in 1995. This was when Hannah was born. They are sisters. Even though Sally and Hannah are 4.5 years apart, they've been very close their entire lives, from the many different games they played together as children to Hannah having to teach Sally how to open a bottle of wine when she was only 15.
Wissam Alherech
Best Man
Joe meet Wissam 'Sam' in high school, in an after school program. Some 20 years later they still remain the closest of friends and have always had a level of trust that some people only can dream of.
Mary O'Rourke
Bridesmaid
Mary is one of Sally's cousins. They grew up together spending their summer's at their aunt's beach house and leading all of the fun and games at every family holiday!
Michael Franco
Groomsman
He's a Franco. (I was tempted to just leave it at that.) Joe met Mike at work, his first thought was 'This guys crazy'. The only one who is crazy was Joe for not immediately seeing the loyal, kind, and adventurous person that he is. Joe been proud to call him his friend since then.
Sarah Reidy
Bridesmaid
Sally met Sarah at their high school freshman year orientation during a group activity where they were asked to write down facts about themselves and then pair up with someone who shared similar facts. Sarah wrote that her pets included 300 cows, and although Sally’s fact was not similar, she decided they needed to be friends. They’ve been best friends ever since, and even though they haven’t lived in the same city for some time, they still remain close and pick up where they left off with each visit!
Thomas Costarella
Groomsman
Joe met Tom at work. Over four years not only did he become one of the best partners her had ever had the pleasure of working with, he became one of the best friends her have had. From listing to Nick DiPalo in the radio car to nights at Bullshots, Tom has shown Joe how to be a quintessential gentleman.
Madison Arrowood
Bridesmaid
Sally worked with Madison at the same diner where she met Joe. They were both looking for a roommate and got an apartment together, and very quickly became great friends. Shortly after they moved in, they rescued a litter of kittens and kept one for themselves, making them "Ma" and "Other Ma" to Harvest Moon.
Usman Abid
Groomsman
Fort Hamilton High School was both a dread for Joe and a blessing. He hated school, but made some of the best friends there. Usman "Uzzy" is among a great tradition of high school friends who has been through it all with me.
Kirsten Keller
Bridesmaid
Sally became friends with Kirsten through Madison, and eventually the three all became roommates. When Sally and Kirsten are together there's a strong chance they are either working on their next mermaid parade costumes or celebrating some version of St. Patrick's Day.
Vincent Giambalvo
Groomsman
So, you ever meet someone and know that you are friends? Like seriously, you know that this a good person and they are amazing to be around and your lucky they feel the same? Thats Joe's friendship with Vinny. He was transferred at work and didn't know anything or anyone in his new base. Vinny showed him the ropes. He is one of the most kind hearted people Joe has met in his life.
Michael Vaccaro
Groomsman
Michael is one of those people that you go your whole life knowing you're lucky to have him as a friend. His loyalty, kindness and laughter make him a amazing person to call a friend.
Tim Crino
Bridesman
Tim and Sally went to college together. Even though they didn't officially meet each other until spring break of Sally's senior year, they became best friends when they both moved to NYC after graduation.
