Wedding Party
Rosse Pacchioli
Matron of Honor
Rosse is the sister that Dana has been waiting for her entire life! You will never meet a kinder human being and, in fact, you will be a better person simply by knowing Rosse. She knows how to make you feel like the most special person in the world and will inspire you to cook, dance, travel, and enjoy life. She is the best person to have in your corner and the one you can count on for everything. Plus you will never leave her house hungry or without a smile on your face!
Mike Sciascia
Best Man
Mike is Matt's identical twin brother (if you couldn't tell). They met as wombmates and have had an unbreakable bond ever since. Growing up, you could find Matt and Mike playing every sport together, spending as much time outside in the cul de sac as possible, and talking way too much trash over a game of Madden. Mikey can make any individual feel welcome, loved, and seen. His wisdom is far beyond his years. He has a goofy sense of humor and can tear up any dance floor. If you need a quick laugh and a pep talk, Mikey is your man.
Jenny Dube
Maid of Honor
Jenny is Dana's cousin, but she really feels like more of a sister. Jenny has perfected the ability to be both the life of the party and the sweetest, most giving person you'll ever meet! When she's not busy saving lives at work, she's crushing it on the kickball field, going to all the concerts, and making new friends everywhere she goes. Jenny has the most adventurous spirit, is always ready to experience something new, and definitely benefited from all the years of cool lessons (if you know you know.)
Nick Pacchioli
Groomsman
Nick is Dana's brother. He is wildly intelligent and can definitely answer more questions in Jeopardy than you. He relentlessly follows his passions whether its coding a new application, wearing barefoot shoes, or baking the best loaf of sourdough bread that you've ever had. Nick is always down for an inside joke, so next time you see him, be sure to say, "Hey Chris."
Sarah Sciascia
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Matt's sister and is the most creative and artistic person we know. Sarah never ceases to amaze us with her endless array of skills, whether it's designing a new tattoo, being a legitimate makeup artist, or crushing it at graphic design. Her bright, goofy personality lights up the room and we're so thankful to have someone who always keeps us laughing!
Joey Santos
Groomsman
Joey is one of Matt's best friends. They met as freshman at App State and quickly became inseparable. There were long days together in college that consisted of going to class, lifting heavy in the gym, eating at Central Dining Hall, and going to the library to study. They were always together, always enjoying each other's company, and never getting sick of one another. Joey is one of the kindest, most sincere, and most intelligent people you will ever meet. No matter how much time passes, you always pick up right where you left off when you see him.
Lauren Lucier
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Dana's grad school friend, Boston roommate, and forever board game partner. Lauren is the friend who can do it all, whether you just need a listening ear or need someone to tell it like it is. She is a superwoman who gets things done at work and at home, while making it look easy. Lauren will also be the first to join you in a chant (kickball, kickball, kickball) when you need to get the party going!
Jack Powers
Groomsman
Jack is one of Matt's best good buddies. They met while powerlifting at App State and the friendship went well beyond the weight room. There are so many gym sessions, nights full of Bud Light, and memories made that will fill up a lifetime. You can always count on Jack to be excited for your accomplishments. He is a great listener and passionate about all of the endeavors he undertakes in life. Next time you see him, he may be running by you after a brisk, 20 mile training session.
Lindsey Holzer
Bridesmaid
Lindsey is Dana's college roommate, soul sista, and ride or die friend. You can always count on Lindsey to be there when you need her, give logical advice, and stand up to whoever has wronged you. Lindsey will remember and remind you of every special memory, carryon conversations in movie quotes, and be your loyal confidant. Lindsey is a force in our lives and we are so lucky to know and love her.
Jake Aaron
Groomsman
Jake is one of Matt's best friends that he also met at the gym at App State. Every Friday night in Boone, you could catch Matt and Jake having a beer at Matt's apartment, reminiscing about the week of lifting, and giving each other a hard time like brothers would. Jake may have a tough exterior, but he's a driven, loving individual that is always down for a good time. If you ever get injured around Jake, it is 100% certain that he will tell you to "rub some dirt in it."
Gabi Fones
Bridesmaid
Gabi and Dana have known each other since the day Gabi was born and are literally each other's first friends. She is truly part of the family and there are very few childhood memories that do not include Gabi. There are too many nick names, embarrassing home videos, and amazing family holidays to count. If you're looking for someone to take an adventure with, join a sports team with, or watch a game with, Gabi is your girl! Gabi has such a kind soul and we are so lucky to have her in our family.
Corey Fulp
Groomsman
Corey is one of Matt's best friends that he also met in the gym at App State (do you see the trend?) They spent countless hours together lifting weights, enjoying the same music, and absolutely grinding video games. Whether it was Fortnite, Call of Duty, or Apex Legends, they always had each other's back. You cannot name a better duo than when these two picked up the sticks. Corey is easy to talk to, always there for you, and has a laugh that you cannot forget.
Ryan Wilson
Bridesmaid
Ryan and Dana met as two Raleigh newbies in need of some Raleigh friends. As luck would have it, mutual connections (shout out to you, Mike) and a fun party apartment (shout out to you, The Dillon), brought us together! Ryan is the friend who will make sure the crew has something to do, the friend who always makes time for you, and the friend who you can dream about all the life things with. If you're lucky, she will even learn your favorite song to sing and dedicate to you at her next gig. We also can't forget to mention that Ryan is the friend who introduced us and encouraged us to give a long distance relationship a try. We are so thankful!
Walker Funk
Groomsman
Walker is the individual that introduced Matt and Dana. He and Matt met while working at the Dan'l Boone Inn. They quickly became pals and lived together for two years during grad school. These two years were full of laughter, unforgettable memories, and an unbreakable friendship. Walker is the most loyal person you will ever meet. He's thoughtful, a great listener, and will always be there for you. If you're looking for a great time, Walker's presence is the place you begin.
Mieke Kovens
Bridesmaid
Mieke and Dana also owe their friendship to a mutual friend in Raleigh (shout out once again, Mike!) What started as a day in Chapel Hill watching basketball turned into the start of a lifelong friendship. Mieke is the friend who you just always want to be around! She is a perfect mix of kind, fun, adventurous, and intelligent. Mieke is there to not only rally the crew, but also make sure we are all fed, show up on time, and have all of the supplies for our adventures. She is our personal travel agent, dog mom connoisseur, and forever friend.
Matthew Baltimore
Groomsman
Matt and Matt (AKA Balti) met as probation officers in Charlotte, NC. Matt still contends to this day that Balti is the best thing to have come out of that job. They immediately bonded over clean haircuts and fantasy football. Balti is always a joy to be around and will be there for you no matter what. Behind his calm demeanor is a loving, caring friend and one of the hardest workers you'll ever meet. Please don't give him a hard time that he's a Patriots fan and he named his firstborn Brady.
Tyler Keel
Officiant
Tyler is our officiant! We both met Tyler through mutual friends and formed our own special friendships with him before we started to date. Tyler has known us separately, and Tyler has known us together. He has been there through so many important moments, always with something sassy, snappy, and Southern to say. We challenge you to find someone who can make you laugh, give it to you straight, and inspire your fashion choices more than Tyler can. We are so honored to have Tyler help us walk into this next phase of life.
