Wedding Party
Lauren Thorne
Maid of Honor
A best friend from nursing school who is beyond bubbly, knows how to have a good time, is sometimes a little loud but is definitely big hearted! We may make fun of her for her Long Island isms but she is always ready with the best advice. Forever bonded over sushi dates, beach days, carpooling, clinical in prison and many wine nights together!
Matt Sharnick
Best Man
Matt and JD met freshman year at CCSU, living across the hall from each other in Seth North. They also worked together for years at Big Y, stocking produce like pros. Matt introduced JD to golf, and they go together often. He is as good a friend as you could ask for is always ready to make you laugh with a dumb comment.
Sadie Leiler
Maid of Honor
A best friend from nursing school who is always there for you in an instant and never fails to have the most random, funny stories! We have countless memories including carpooling, nights out in Newport and walking anywhere with a view (as long as she wasn't too busy knitting or having an early bedtime)!
Vinny Poggio
Groomsman
Vin and JD met freshman year at CCSU and hit it off immediately. Many long nights of playing CS:GO and and other video games made them great friends. Vin is one of the most talented artists you will ever meet and an even better friend.
Shannon Wagner
Bridesmaid
My sister may be a bit feisty at times and not the most affectionate, but we have gotten close over the years and I couldn't ask for a better big sister. Shannon or should I say "Sharon" can sure turn wild at a party! It helps that she gave Shaela one of the cutest nieces too!
Damian Szarwacki
Groomsman
Damian and JD became close after freshman year at CCSU where he launched his "Don't be wacky, vote Szarwacki!" campaign. Over the years they have bonded over countless inside jokes and Damian running into JD's room at any random times screaming HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Damian is a truly caring friend and is always the life of the party.
April Small
Bridesmaid
Shaela was nervous to start her first real job and happened to sit next to the only other nurse starting on the maternity floor! April is the sweetest, most easy going person you could meet and is always down for an adventure! She has become a great friend bonded over our love for working with babies.
Tim Newhard
Groomsman
Tim, aka Nimmy, also met JD at CCSU. Nimmy has always been the king of hosting parties, and always has the loudest speakers. JD and him spent (and spend) countless hours playing video games together and cracking jokes. Nimmy is one of the funniest people you will meet and his dance moves are legendary.
