Wedding Party

Samantha Robison

Matron of Honor

Samantha (Sammy) is my little sister and "twin". Growing up we were obsessed with all things Mary Kate and Ashley and loved to play town with our "Lala babies". We started out doing dance, soccer, and softball together, but I quickly realized she's the athlete in the family. I enjoyed the "hours on end swim meets" where I could cheer her on and watch her smash personal bests. Sam shares my love for animals. She introduced our family to greyhounds and is the mom to THE cutest greyhound, Finn. When Sam's not busy being an amazing nurse, she's found baking "soooooo moist" desserts.


Meghan Schmidt

Bridesmaid

Meghan and I met at Quinnipiac through our sorority Alpha Chi. I fought against Nicole to get her as my little and lost, but I gained a friend that's truly like another sister to me. I'll never forget our zip lining adventure through the canyons of Los Cabos, Mexico and almost getting left behind by the boat at "Divorce/ Lovers' Beach".

Nicole Penchansky

Bridesmaid

Nicole and I met at Quinnipiac's orientation before school started. I thought she was that "weird girl from NH" that kept talking about cows. To my surprise, she was my next door neighbor freshman year, and I learned how wrong I was about her. We became instant friends and did everything together.


Katharina Samson

Bridesmaid

Kat and I met in high school, and still laugh about our days as band geeks and lacrosse teammates together. Even though Kat has moved between CT, France, England, CA, and now Germany, we can always pick up right where we left off, like nothing has ever changed.

Kristin Dreissen

Bridesmaid

Kristin is my soon to be sister-in-law. We share a love for bachelor/ bachelorette, reading, and teasing Daniel. When she's not hard at work as a PT, she can be found working on 2000 piece puzzles and supporting her Green Bay Packers. I'm so excited to be an aunt soon to her new baby boy.


Christina Brzozowski

Bridesmaid

Christina is a cousin that instantly made me feel like a part of the family. She's my go to person for all things art and fashion. Christina prefers me over Alex because I don't hide her Christmas gifts in impossible contraptions or make embarrassing wall of fame photo montages.

Kelly (Cook Poo) Bilinski

Bridesmaid

Cook Poo is Alex's younger cousin. I look forward to visiting her every year in San Clemente, CA. Highlights include beating her in nertz, epic board game nights, and In And Out runs. She also likes me better than Alex, as I don't subject her to cruel and unusual Christmas gift punishments.


Daniel Dreissen

Flower Girl

Daniel enjoys the simple life: long hikes in the desert, eating shoo-fly pie with the Amish and occasionally stalking Tim Allen. This soon to be dad (and his impending dad bod) will have more fun playing with his child’s toys than his son.

David Dreissen

Candle Lighter

David is a renowned collector of crocheted Christmas dolls, first loser in the 2019 Madden Curse Fantasy Football League, and a chronic returner of Christmas gifts. David's entire diet consists of Vietnamese custard apples and boba. Ask him for a snack if you get hungry during the church ceremony.


Brian Giapponi

Groomsman

Alex’s best friend since their nursery school hopping contest for charity. A stay at home husband who makes fruit wine in his parents’ basement. An avid supporter of the Japanese whaling efforts. When he’s not beating up on senior citizens in setback at the Elks, failing at competitive eating contests or LARPing in a nearby Renaissance fair, Brian’s one goal in life is to “make weddings great again”.

Chris Moore

Groomsman

A former D3 basketball player turned insurer of others’ insurance, a man who enjoys Arby’s over a real steak and a collector of his own naval fluff. When he’s not reinsuring insurance, this cookie addict loves playing scrabble with his dog, Biscuit. At the wedding, Chris does not require a seat. He will be found ONLY on the dance floor showing off Patrick Swayze like moves.


TJ Kronenberger

Groomsman

A new soap maker at the U, TJ’s hobbies include clamming, whirlyball and intense matches of croquet. He is a below average setback player, an even worse fantasy football manager but an incredible curler. TJ also enjoys a good Minnesota Vikings “SKOL” chant every hour on the hour during wedding receptions.

Steve Czerniewski

Groomsman

Superb at animal noises, this competitive moo-er also collects samurai swords from the QVC late night shopping channel. He doesn’t believe in dinosaurs and is a terrible gingerbread house builder but he does love Harry Potter marathons. If you see him at the wedding, make sure you ask him to perform one of his subpar magic tricks.


Matt DiDomenico

Groomsman

A modern day “Newman” from Seinfeld, Matt was rejected from his application to join the US Postal service and instead focused on a failed accounting career at KPMG. He currently claims to be a financial advisor that greatly underperforms the market averages. His favorite song is “Clumsy” by Fergie, he can quote any line from the movie Borat and only eats Velveeta Mac n Cheese.

Dominic Brzozowski

Groomsman

The most eligible bachelor mimics his life to resemble the Bachelor in Paradise. Dominic will be the groomsman swiping right in the middle of the dance floor. Going on an average of 3 dates a week, we only hope he won’t be on a date this night.


Dom Sciame

Honorary Candle lighter

As the back up candle stick man, Dom will be cracking skulls like his favorite wrestler, John Cena, should any of the candles fail to be lit or go out during the ceremony. He is a man of few talents. He attempts to collect Ninja Turtle comics and nutcrackers but his true passion is trash talking 8 year olds while playing Fortnite much to the dismay of his better half, Gena. *Please note: Dom is not actually in the wedding party.

Bruuuuuuucey (Fat Thor) Reed

Christmas Swap Winner: TBD

In a twist of fate, Bruce clinched his spot as a guest of honor during the 2019 Christmas Swap Game, per one semester law student, Jake Brzozowski. Qualifications: Unknown
