Alyssa & Justin
Wedding Party
Alexa DeSantis
Maid of Honor
Alexa is Alyssa’s little sister. With only 17 months separating them, they grew up like twins. Throughout their childhood, Alexa and Alyssa cheered together in Millstone Pop Warner and spent their spare time making up cheer and dance routines in their kitchen. Even though Alexa goes to college up in Ithaca, they are in contact every day (mainly so she FaceTime with Alyssa’s dogs and send TikToks).
Alec Scarano
Best Man
Alec and Justin met at Justin’s birth (perks of being an older brother) and have been attached at the hip since. As the older brother, Alec has always been very patient with Justin, even when Justin insisted on sleeping in Alec’s room the first 10 years of his life. They bond over Chelsea FC, golf, bowling, and drinking beer.
Aviana Afflitto
Bridesmaid
Avi and Alyssa first met in middle school but became inseparable best friends in high school. Avi essentially became a part of Alyssa's family and they spent countless hours together laughing in Alyssa's kitchen, watching Vine and Tana Mongeau videos. After school, you could catch them driving around Millstone in Alyssa's Mazda, with Avi on aux listening to Front Porch Step.
Gianna Corsaro
Bridesmaid
Gianna and Alyssa first met at Pop Warner cheer in elementary school. They eventually went on to coach two championship winning teams in 2016 and 2022. After graduating Allentown in 2017, Alyssa and Gianna both remained in NJ for college and their friendship grew stronger, with Alyssa even visiting Gianna when she did the Disney College Program.
Nicole Goodnough
Bridesmaid
Nikki and Justin were the younger cousins of the Sbraga family and grew up very close. They bond over their shared love of the gym, and even ran the Marine Corps Marathon together in 2022. Nikki lights up any room she walks into and her friendship is something that both Justin and Alyssa cherish greatly.
Darla Haas
Bridesmaid
Darla and Alyssa met when they became partners in food science class at Allentown. They forged a friendship cooking new meals and learning how to "process" an entire chicken (true, traumatizing story). Since then, Darla has become like Alyssa's second little sister and is the type of true friend that everyone should have.
Jessica Ricca
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and Jessica met at the bus stop on the first day of kindergarten in 2004. From there, they became best friends and spent countless hours playing Club Penguin and filming singing videos (don't ask for the link). During their week-long sleepovers, you could find them watching the Secret Life of the American Teenger, dying their hair with Kool-Aid, and making bracelets during their "scene" phase.
Holly Springhorn
Bridesmaid
Holly and Alyssa officially met at "Hollyween" in 2014. Holly spent the night introducing Alyssa to people she already knew and stealing "beverages" from her dad's garage fridge, which probably explains our state of mind at the time. From there, their friendship grew and Holly was always one of Alyssa's biggest supporters. After graduating high school, they lived close by each other in Philadelphia for a few years during college.
Luis Ferreira
Groomsman
Luis and Justin first met in the locker room at middle school soccer tryouts. Luis was new to Allentown and he and Justin hit it off immediately. They continued to play soccer together through high school, and won the state championship together their junior year. They eventually roomed together their freshman year at Seton Hall.
Justin Fleischer
Groomsman
Justin S. and Justin F. met their first week at medical school after realizing they lived in the same apartment complex and had very similar interests, including running, hiking, and biking. From there, they spent the first two years of school studying together for hours every day and took breaks every once in a while to explore Philadelphia and go to Top Golf.
Anthony Forte
Groomsman
Anthony is Alyssa's oldest cousin and, from what their parents tell them, they were inseparable from the start. Growing up, they went on countless camping trips together with their families and always took pride in being the oldest cousins. Alyssa and Anthony went to school together through high school, eventually graduating from Allentown together in 2017.
Kevin Primich
Groomsman
Justin and Kevin met at basketball practice in elementary school. Although they met playing basketball, Kevin and Justin played soccer together throughout middle school and high school, including winning the state championships together. These days you can find Justin and Kevin hanging out at Hamilton Lanes or Screamin Hill Brewery every weekend.

Mason is Justin's younger cousin and, despite their six year age difference, have been inseparable since they were kids. Mason and Justin bonded over their love of movies, especially Transformers.
Will Sjaastad
Groomsman
Will and Justin met playing soccer in elementary school. As kids, they grew up practically living at each other's houses. Will and Justin played soccer together throughout middle school and high school, including winning the state championship their junior year.
