Stefania & Jim
Wedding Party
Christina Bogacz
Maid of Honor
Christina is my best friend from college and truly my rock, my go-to, and my confidant. Life feels a little less scary with her by my side, knowing I always have someone who understands me completely. As fellow teachers, we’ve supported each other through everything from tears to laughing until our stomachs hurt. Christina has been there through all of our adulting phases, offering strength, encouragement, and endless understanding. She is a true friend in every sense, and I cherish all the adventures we’ve shared so far. I can’t wait to make even more memories together in the years to come.
Ian MacRae
Best Man
Ian has been my best friend since preschool, where we first met and instantly clicked. He was my very first friend, and our bond has only grown stronger over the years. Ian is a brother to me. From the beginning, we've shared a love for the water and power sports, which continues to be something that brings us together. Whether we are out on the water or just reminiscing about old memories, Ian has always been someone I can count on.
Juliana Collins
Bridesmaid
Juliana may be my younger cousin, but she’s also my trusted sounding board. She always wants the best for everyone around her, showing a kindness and thoughtfulness beyond her years. She feels like the younger sister I never had, someone I can count on no matter what. I’m so grateful for all the childhood adventures and late-night conversations we’ve shared. Life with Juliana is wholesome, fun, and full of moments I’ll always treasure, and I couldn’t imagine facing the years ahead without her by my side.
Anthony Vendrella
Groomsman
Anthony and I share a special bond that has only grown stronger over the years. He’s more than just my future brother-in-law—he’s someone I can truly laugh with, rely on, and have meaningful conversations with. Whether we’re at a big family gathering or just hanging out, he always brings warmth, joy, and a sense of ease. I’ve always valued how natural it feels to connect with him and how genuine our time together is. I’m so excited for all the memories we’ll create in the years ahead with him as my brother.
Meg Stacy
Bridesmaid
Meg is my soon-to-be sister-in-law, and over time, we’ve shared many laughs and special moments at family gatherings. From holidays to celebrations, a bond has begun to form that already feels special. I am truly looking forward to officially gaining a sister and all the adventures and laughter that will come with it. I couldn’t be more grateful for the sisterhood we are beginning to build.
Ryan Bedini
Groomsman
Ryan and I became best friend back in preschool when Ian and I were playing with blocks, and he asked if he could join us. We said yes, and from that moment on, the three of us have been inseparable- the original three amigos. Ryan's easygoing nature and sense of fun made it so easy to become close friends. We've grown up together, shared countless laughs, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
Jessica Pillitteri
Bridesmaid
Jessy is my older cousin by just one year, and we’ve shared a lifetime of memories growing up side by side. When we were little, my mom would buy us matching outfits, and over the years, we shared countless laughs, tears, and everything in between. From childhood adventures to family traditions, she has been there for me through every stage of life. No matter where life takes us, I know she will always be there to celebrate our joys and share in all our milestones. Having her be part of our special day is just another beautiful chapter in the story we’ve been writing together since we were kids.
RJ Kaoud
Groomsman
RJ is a great friend who I always enjoy spending time with. We both love fixing things, whether it's a small project or just figuring something out together. He's my go-to sushi partner in crime; we never turn down a good sushi boat. Our friendship is fun and always full of laughs. I'm lucky to have someone like RJ to share good times and great meals with.
Alyssa Collins
Bridesmaid
For a long time, Alyssa was the youngest cousin, and I vividly remember watching her grow up right before my eyes. She always wanted to hang out with the big kids, so I made sure to stay close to her and include her in everything. Growing up, we spent so much time together, which made our bond even stronger. Alyssa is incredibly special to me, with an easy-going personality that feels both unique and genuine. Her calm and kind nature brings a special warmth to every family gathering. I’m grateful to have her as part of my life.
Josh Paton
Groomsman
Josh and I have been friends since I was seven years old. We're fishing buddies, always ready to cast a line and enjoy some time on the water. Some of my favorite memories have been made during those quiet moments, just talking and waiting for a bite. I've always appreciated how real and loyal Josh is. I'm grateful for the years of friendship we've shared and all the fishing trips still to come.
Olivia Baril
Bridesmaid
Being friends with Olivia in our post-graduation phase of life is something truly special. She’s honest and real, with a fun and spunky personality that always brightens my day. She knows how to make me laugh and tells me like it is. Olivia is a true friend who is always ready to lend a helping hand. I’m grateful every day for the laughter, support, and authenticity she brings into my life.
Nick Oathout
Groomsman
Nick and I met in high school, and we instantly connected thanks to our shared love for the outdoors. He's big into hunting and fishing, which made it easy for us to find common ground and build a strong friendship. Whether we're talking gear, swapping stories, or just hanging out, there's always something to connect over. Nick is the kind of friend who's always down for an adventure.
Francesca Cima
Flower Girl
Francesca may be the youngest addition to our cousin squad, but she’s also my built-in little best friend. I vividly remember holding her for the very first time, a moment I will always treasure. Over the years, every giggle, hug, and shared adventure has only deepened that special bond. Watching Francesca grow has been one of my greatest blessings, filling my heart with joy. We are overjoyed to have her by our side on such an important day, sprinkling love (and petals) down the aisle as our flower girl.
Cristiano Toscano
Ring Bearer
Cristiano is the newest addition to the circle of friends we consider family, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome him. His mom, Sandra, is like a big sister to me and has always been there with a listening ear, a helping hand, or a kind gesture, making her a cherished part of our lives for years. When Sandra was pregnant with Cristiano, I instantly knew he had to be our ring bearer. His sweet presence will make the day even more memorable.
