Wedding Party

Alaina Branco

Maid of Honor

Alaina and Shauna have been friends ever since Shauna's curiosity of deodorant conversation struck her at the beach. Little did we both know that a simple "hey what kind of deodorant are you talking about" would lead to a beautiful sister like friendship. Alaina loved yoga and we ended up planning the global mala together where we did 108 sun salutations( it's a lot of yoga) and then proceeded to eat 3 pizza pies at Talulas. The rest was history --- Alaina is one of my favorite humans for her wit, sass and straight up honesty. I absolutely couldn't not have a wedding without this woman by my side!

Lisa Lucarelli

Matron of Honor

My favorite fashionista who lights up every room she walks into. Lisa and I met through a super small circle we both didn't exactly realize we were in connected by our MOH Alaina and yoga. We are both passionate about yoga and helping others as well as each other. A soul sister I didn't see coming. Lisa has the biggest heart and the warmest soul she doesn't even realize it but I'm going to let you all know ;) . The last 4 years of my life wouldn't be complete without having met this woman. Did I also mention she brings the dance party? Thats right so bring your dancing toes ! Cannot wait to have Lisa by my side as my Matron of Honor.

Ginny Marles

Bridesmaid

My big sister who is my favorite person to chase sunsets with no matter where we are. Although we're only half sisters we share an unbreakable bond with an invisible thread where we always know to call each other. Whether it's finding a penny in the most random unexplainable place or hearing a song on the radio we have a strong connection. It makes my heart sing my to have you apart of our big day as you always know how to put my head back on my shoulders. That's what big sisters are for and you do a good job at that. Can't wait to have you stand beside me !!!

Jessica Makarewicz

Bridesmaid

My Sister Jessica is a ray of light. I can't believe we are all grown up planning weddings it seems like only yesterday that we were rolling around in the backyard making mud pies and playing pranks on our dads employees. hehehe we were only slightly mischievous. I always loved that you were my taste tester whenever I came home from school and had some new recipe I insisted you needed to try although you were always hesitant you'd taste test no matter what ! My beautiful baby sister who is all grown up now it will be a dream to have you stand by my side.

Krystal Amorino

Bridesmaid

Krystal is my cousin. We have always been very close from way back when Krystal would baby sit me and we would pretend the floors were lava to that time we thought it was a good idea to go out to a club 2 hours from home which we then locked the keys in my car and had to use a coat hanger to break in. I still remember when your mom took me to see your dance performance and I totally stole your dance moves to Backstreet Boys Everybody because I looked up to you that much.It has always been a GOOD time when we are together. I love now that we will combine our Zumba and Yoga escapades when we are together we are always the most silly. I love you SO much and I'm so blessed to have a cousin who's is more of a sister to me. Of course I would have you as my bridesmaid.

Kiersten Wright

Bridesmaid

Kier and I met in high school. Kiersten is someone I know that I can always call for the MOST honest opinions on just about anything. My creative, jet setter, island dreaming babe. Thank you for planning fun trips and bring me along with you. Like that time we went to Universal and walked around until we found a club that played some Pitbull so we could all shake it, I'll make sure to have at least one song for you and we can re enact our classic back bend photo from your wedding in Mexico! May have to photo shop your mom in for a good laugh. Love you my girl thank you for standing by my side on one of the most Important days of my life.

Caitlin Gherold

Bridesmaid

My other best high school girl. MY oh my how are we here. The long phone chats the crushes if anyone knows more about me its this girl. We use to make secret code words and maps when we had a crush on a boy. Then we graduated and well that didn't really change. So many beautiful memories walking out of my apartment in Ocean Grove to run the town in Asbury. Caitilin has always been a yes girl and that's what I love about you. Remember that time we went kayaking with my parents and my dad thought your name was Marissa or was the funnier part of that story when we dropped the paddle and had to use our life jackets creatively to fish for it . Grateful for you and to have you by my side.

Stacy Chapman

Bridesmaid

Stacy and Shauna met through Yoga as Stacy started out as a private client. Stacy is a friend that I never knew I needed in my life. She is full of wisdom, humor and always has the best advice. Our love for many things aligns such as our dogs, yoga, fashion the list could go on. She is someone who inspires me to be a better person and I'm truly blessed to know her. Stacy has a very important role in being apart of our bridal party but that will not be disclosed until the day of ! So you will all have to wait to find out what that role is ! We are so happy she is able to be apart of our special day.

Tyler Levy

Officiant

Tyler and Shauna originally were friends through yoga. We quickly fell in love, my work boyfriend I would call him until he met Ryan. Ryan and Tyler have become just as close as we all have evolved in our friendship. It only made sense to Ryan and I that someone we both love who is equally as close to both of us would do the honors of marrying us. We are so lucky and blessed to have such beautiful human being to conduct our ceremony.

Patrick Myles

Best Man

Pat and Ryan met one fateful day working as nurses in the MICU at jersey shore hospital. It’s rare to find a male nurse, let alone one who would turn into one of your best friends. From coworkers, to roommates, to best friends, Pat is a huge part of Ryan’s life. Always one to make a room burst out in laughter, A master of self deprecating humor and useless knowledge, I couldn’t imagine getting married without Pat being my best man.

Chris Worley

Best Man

Chris and Ryan have known each other since they were in elementary school. Since the moment Chris moved into 3 Mistletoe Court, we were together basically everyday. Our love of staying inside all day playing video games made us inseparable. As we grew up we remained great friends and even college roommates during our time at Rutgers university. The hours we spent playing world of Warcraft together are a thing of legend. I was fortunate to be a part of Chris’s wedding, and I could never imagine of marrying Shauna without Chris being by my side. For the alliance…

Mike Anderson

Groomsman

Mike and Ryan have known one another since elementary school, though not becoming good friends until after high school. Mike becoming one of my best friends coming up to Rutgers for every party, every weekend. Mike lived his college experience through my time at school, even meeting his wife at a Rutgers fest. Our mutual love of music and all things apple keeps us in constant contact. Being a part of Mike’s wedding I can’t wait to have Mike be a part of mine.

Mike Kimble

Groomsman

What can one say about my relationship with Mike. I have known Mike since high school but we did not become good friends until a faithful MySpace message asking Mike if he wanted to workout out together, the rest is history. From Retro fitness, to Rutgers parties, to AC trips, Mike and I became best friends. Mike being a passenger on some of my high’s but more so my low’s (which are stories of legend). Being a part of Mike’s wedding and our relationship made my decision to have Mike be one of my groomsman a no brainer.

Jacky Ho

Groomsman

I met Jacky through his long friendship with Shauna. Jacky the master reseller of all things that I love, he has secured me dozens of pairs of sneakers/video games/ and clothes (despite Shauna’s never ending protests). My lack of man skills (thanks dad), jacky has become our go too if we need anything around the house. My main man to talk soccer and watch crushing Giant defeats, it’s a honor having Jacky be a member of our wedding party. There is no better person then Jacky Hoooooo

Joe Lucarelli

Groomsman

I met Joe through Shauna as he is married to Shauna’s Matron of Honor Lisa. The late nights at their house in Asbury playing board games, gambling on shut the box, and discussing how Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player ever are some of my favorite memories. I never knew I needed Joe in my life, until the day we met, and now I can’t imagine my life without him being a part of it. As his love for Chelsea football club and soccer grows, so does my love of Lando and F1 racing on early Sunday mornings at the Lucarelli household. Joe was an absolute no brainer to have by my side as one of my groomsman.

Miguel Medina

Groomsman

Miguel and I have been friends since he moved to Ramtown, which now seems like a life time ago. When we both got into Rutgers it was an easy choice to become roommates for our two years together. Having our birthdays March 15 and 16th respectfully, we have had some amazing times together celebrating, which I’m sure we don’t remember half of. The nights in New Brunswick at Old Queens bar together are some of the best times of my life. An incredible guy and great friend, I could not get married without Miguel being a groomsman.
