Christen & Francis
Wedding Party
Gina Baldo
Maid of Honor
She started out changing the Bride's diapers over thirty-three years ago and was the Bride's first ever, very best friend. She probably already knows, but just in case - don't spill the beans, she will still probably be helping the Bride in the bathroom for the rest of their lives. It's basically what sisters do. If you're looking for Gina, you can probably find her doing some Yoga in the corner, or reapplying some of her signature bright red lipstick in a jeweled compact with a glass of sparkling water.
Laurissa Reitz
Bridesmaid
Friends since college, Even Liner's until the end! Laurissa and Christen have had each others backs through thick and thin, through nearly impossible senior college theses, bad breakups, road trips, and broken toilet seats. Look for Laurissa helping to wrangle the Bride back into some Spanks ... just follow the screams.
Tatum Zumpano
Bridesmaid
Tatum and Christen met through Frank, and quickly decided that they were going to stay friends forever, despite Frank and Tatums husband, Franco, both being weirdos and constantly driving the two women to declare that there is not enough wine in the world to handle the two men in the same room together. From bonding over making Chicken Parm in Frank's then-bachelor pad for a group of friends at the start of Frank and Christen's relationship, to spending hot summer days with friends at Glimmerglass State Park, to evening bonfires where the two women debated calling the fire department because Frank and Franco found that the fire could be made *much* larger with a leaf blower, the two women have clearly found a friendship to last the test of time.
Aubrie Zukowski
Flower Girl
Aubrie is the girl who made Christen a mom, the girl who made Christen first question her sanity - well, maybe not really the first person to do that - the girl who always brings a smile to the people who are around her. Look for Aubrie helping her brother Elijah and her sister Alicia, singing and dancing her heart out. Just don't let her catch you watching, or she might quit being the evenings entertainment!
Alicia Zukowski
Flower Girl
Alicia - forever the family comedian, the one who will bust a move on the dance floor (she inherited those sweet dance moves from her Grandfather, just ask anyone), the scrappy Ali-cat. She is the family's little fighter and will tell it to you like it is. She is absolutely determined to not wear a dress for the wedding (depending on the day), so if you are looking for Ali, be prepared to look on the floor and under some tables because she might be hiding or playing with some race cars that she stashed in a purse or a pocket.
Keith Rabideau
Best Man
The Grooms Uncle and Best Man, the man who taught the Groom everything he knows! Uncle Keith has been more like a father than an Uncle, teaching Frank the finer arts of snowmobiling, golfing, and preparing him for his role as a future husband - just nod your head and smile!
Jeffro Fedor
Groomsman
Friends since high school, from training and running the Boilermaker and travelling to Alaska together - just ask Jeffro - we know he's got some good stories to share! We'd say you can find him at the bar hitting on the bartender, but since he's a newlywed himself, just look for the man holding onto a good ol' bottle of Jam-O.
Franco Affatigato
Groomsman
Frank and Franco - trouble together, trouble apart. Yet another newlywed who is happy to see Frank finally tie the knot, he has seen Frank through thick and thin, feeding him, (and as Tatum will attest) housing him despite Frank owning his own home for the nominal fee of having Frank do manual labor around Franco's house. Again, look for the newly married man with the bottle of liquor in hand - this time it will be the bottle of Brooklyn Gin.
Elijah Zukowski-Sansone
Ring Bearer
Elijah - the only boy of the three children brought to this newly formed happy family (Please - we hope you brought lots of Duct Tape as a wedding gift!) and the soon to be adopted son of Frank. Eli is quite the ham, and despite always looking for trouble with an impish grin on his face, somehow seems to manage to find a way out! Look for him with his pseudo-twin (yes, we said pseudo-twin, he and Ali are only a few months apart in age) hiding somewhere and playing with cars. Or ripping each others hair out. Listen for screaming and you are sure to find him.
