Wedding Party
Kelly Silvestri
Maid of Honor
Even though Kelly & Kristine are 4.5 years apart in age, these two were and continue to be thick as thieves! Kelly has supported Kristine through good and bad. From being bat-girl for their childhood softball team to pulling a bruised Kristine in a wagon after the bride fell down a hill, Kelly has long been Kristine's sword & shield. The universe has truly blessed Kristine with a loyal, warm hearted, loving sister, and the happy couple is more than ecstatic to have Kelly by their side for the big day!
Amanda Marusiak
Matron of Honor
The title of "Kristine's best friend from college" is no easy feat, yet Amanda won this brand name! As a fellow member of the Periclean Scholars and AZD Sorority, Amanda and Kristine remained inseparable throughout their college years. Even through the hard times of travels, illness, and overall separation, Amanda was and remains Kristine's rock. The bride is excited to have Amanda stand by her side once again as she enters the next chapter of her life :)
Daniel Montrose
Best Man
Big Brother to Mike! He's looked after baby bro since birth and has now accepted the responsibility to help Mike enter the next phase of life!
Glenn Phillips
Best Man
Glenn has been Mike's friend, confidant, and go-to person for good days and bad. He holds a dear spot in the couple's heart and they're honored to have him front and center in their new journey!
Chrissie Cordeira
Bridesmaid
If sage, empathic advice had a human name, it would be Chrissie Cordeira. Chrissie has been a close friend and confidant of the bride throughout their college years and beyond. The weekend hangouts filled with good eats, great conversation, and even better dancing continues to be the foundation of the bride and Chrissie's relationship. While Kristine is sad to bid farewell to Saturday night dancing of "Single Ladies" at Jersey City clubs, she is so happy to have Chrissie be a part of her new chapter on Sept 05th.
Kristy Keiser
Bridesmaid
The shy, reserved, and comfortable attributes of Kristine never stood a chance when befriending Kristy Keiser. Kristy exposed Kristine to so many of life's wonders and misadventures. Kristy helped shape Kristine to take risks, live life to the fullest, and channel her inner RBG. From road trips to Richmond to clubbing in Jersey City, Kristine considers Kristy to be a day-one friend and bodyguard (moshpit protector!). While no moshpits will be present on Sept 05, Kristine is honored to have Kristy support the "I Do's"!
Nick Nunez
Groomsman
The very first person to walk up and introduce himself to a young transfer student named Mike Montrose in 5th grade! Nick's sage advice has guided Mike since day one alongside his witty retorts that have kept the crowd roaring. Be sure to get Nick's autograph at the wedding; it'll be worth millions one day!
Teddy Rodriguez
Groomsman
A day-one partner in crime who attended both elementary & high school with Mike (friends since 5th grade!). Some bonds are simply unbreakable as attested by their friendship :)
Christina Peterson
Bridesmaid
Every friend in your life serves a purpose and Christina knows her #1 purpose in Kristine's life: wine wifey! The late night conversations between these two over dinner & drinks have motivated Kristine both professionally and personally. Christina pushes Kristine to try new things, continue to travel, and live life to the fullest. Regardless of the adventure, both respond "yes". Here's to Christina supporting Kristine on her next adventure as she says "yes" at the alter :)
Andrew Schroth
Groomsman
Amazing chef & tv connoisseur are simply two of a thousand attributes that describes Sir Andrew! He has been a dear friend of the bride since college (go Elon!) and has welcomed the groom into the fold with open arms. Whether it's trips to NYC or visits to DC, a hangout with Andrew & the bride/groom is a must. What better way to bring all 3 together than a wedding party!
Alejandro Santos
Groomsman
Suave. Charismatic. Dominican. These 3 attributes make up the man, myth, and legend that is Alejandro P Santos. It's an honor to have him in a room, and the happy couple is even more honored to have him by their side. Disclaimer: Alejandro is not allowed to look better than the groom on the wedding day.
Walter Ruilova
Groomsman
Connecticut's finest export will be in attendance! Walt has been a longtime friend and roommate of the groom and has been a huge supporter of the happy couple's relationship. They're excited to go from Friday night movie watch sessions in Brooklyn to full on wedding reception with this guy!!!
Jackie Nombre
Bridesmaid
If Kristine were to have an older sister, Jackie would fit the mold. Jackie has long looked after Kristine from her high school days of softball to her college years at Elon. While Jackie can give "questionable" advice ("release your inner Destiny..."), she has always had Kristine's back through thick and thin. Since the early days of the bride and groom dating, Jackie has lent her support to the couple's relationship. Although Jackie will always be there to support Kristine, her support takes a new role as a Bridesmaid and witness to the happy couple's new journey.
Marjorie Montrose
Bridesmaid
This sister of the groom is always up for a get together! The smart, funny, and witty Marjorie has supported the happy couple since the early days of dating. Her catalog of television/movie suggestions have supplied the couple with long weekend viewings that have led to bed sores (too much Naruto!). They're ecstatic to have her in the bridal party as they happy couple says their "I Do's"!
