Wedding Party
Brittany Arena
Matron of Honor
BFF since 92' has been the slogan since we were born. We've literally grown up together and we know everything about one another even if we weren't a 2 minute drive down the road. We've had so many laughing until we cry moments and she is always able to make me laugh no matter what. I know no matter what, she is always there for me and our friendship is something I will treasure forever.
Courtney Passanante
Maid of Honor
Courtney is the definition of a true loyal friend. We have grown up together and she has always been there for me during the good and the bad times. Courtney and I were shopping at 2 months old and still are shopping buddies and forever will be. I treasure our friendship and am blessed to still be so close for this long and to have you standing by my side on the big day!
Samantha Smith
Bridesmaid
Sam and I have hit it off since Lucas and I have started dating. We enjoy a lot of the same things like Disney, pop culture drama and drinking wine. I truly am the luckiest girl to have someone so great to look up to for all aspects of life and to go to if I need to vent or need help with anything. I'm so happy to not only call her a great friend, but my soon be sister!
Alyssa Zirenberg
Bridesmaid
Alyssa has been like a sister to me since we were little! We've had our fair share of memories some including waiting hours and hours on a vacation for the last Harry Potter book to come out, cheering together and dancing/singing to Grease over and over again. I've always grown up looking up to her not only in cheerleading, but in life. She has always been there for me and I'm excited to have her by my side on the big day!
Jen Novitsky
Bridesmaid
Jen, otherwise known as Yen, and I were meant to be roommates and best friends since the first time we found each other at Cino Quest. The amount of laughs and cries we have had together are endless and I love that we are still so close even though we are miles away. It feels like we've been friends forever and I know I can always count on her for anything. I couldn't imagine having my big day without her by my side!
Kaitlynne Oliver
Bridesmaid
Kaitlynne and I have been besties since I first met her at CCU in Waccamaw. She has always not only been a genuine friend throughout the years, but always one that brought the sunshine and positive vibes wherever we are together. I know even though we live far away from one another, she is a phone call, text or FaceTime away if I ever needed her. I'm so blessed that we have stayed so close throughout the years and I'm excited she is apart of the bridal party.
Kerri Schreiber
Bridesmaid
Kerri and I have been best friends since we were in middle school. Our friendship started through our love of cheerleading and has grown far beyond that. We have had so many amazing times throughout our awkward teen years as well as in our roaring 20s such as Jonas Brother's concerts, coaching pop Warner cheer and going out at McHebes (RIP). I know that no matter what, Kerri will always be there for me through thick and thin. She has always been an amazing friend and I couldn't imagine this day without her!
Erin Smith
Bridesmaid
I've known Erin since middle school but our friendship really began in High school. We got real close real quick because of our endless cheer practices, games and voluntary sleepovers when we weren't cheering. She always knows how to have a good time and make me laugh until I cry. We've had so many great memories together like going out in Rutgers, watching endless amounts of Bravo and staying up so late at night that we sleep until noon or later the next day. Erin is always someone that I have remained close with and will continue to because she is such a great and loving friend. I'm so happy she is going to be standing by my side on my big day!
Kayla McDevitt
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I have been great friends since freshman year at CCU. Once we met, I knew she and I would always be close and be best friends. We became even closer when we got into the same sorority and literally were inseparable. We enjoyed so many great times together like beach trips, broadway nights, and big life moments. Even though we don't see each other often, whenever we do it is like we've never left college. I'm so excited to have her be apart of the big day!
Liz Daggett
Bridesmaid
Liz is my big in my sorority and truly is someone I look up to to this day. Every time we are together, it's like we never left college and don't live hours away from one another. We've been through the good and the bad times but we always end up laughing or watching the Parent Trap haha. She always is there for me no matter what and I'm so grateful that she will be by my side for the big day!
Matt Biagi
Best Man
Matt and I met sophomore year of college when he transferred to Coastal and have been inseparable ever since. We have shared so many memories together including road trips to Myrtle Beach, endless nights out, football Sundays, Madden dynasties, and more. Matt has truly turned into family. Matt is a brother to me and I couldn't imagine having anyone else as my best man!
Rich Biagi
Best Man
I met Rich my first year at Coastal in 2010. We met as strangers and left as brothers.
