Stephanie & Lamar
Wedding Party
Taylor Tomaselli
Maid of Honor
Taylor and I met in the 6th grade when we were put in the same homeroom! I was jealous of her after she shared with the class that she vacationed in Hawaii that previous summer. We've been inseparable ever since. Taylor and I did the awkward middle school years together, where we were in the varsity choir, select girls choir, show choir, and even all the musicals. We did field hockey together, shopped at Limited Too together, and now we're planning my wedding together. Taylor has played such a huge role in my life since I've been 10 years old, and I can't imagine having anyone else standing beside me on my wedding day.
LaQuan Fisher
Best Man
Laquan – My little brother that I look up to. Ever since kids, Quan has seen me at both my best and my worst. Growing up we had our fights like any normal siblings but we both knew those fights were out of love. He’s always kept it real with me and has been there when I needed him most. I’m honor to have you as my best man because of your loyalty, love, and patience with me throughout my life and I couldn’t have it any other way.
Rachel Carbrey
Bridesmaid
From pigtails and jean jumpers in kindergarten, to playing dress up in our wedding gowns, to today. Rachel is one of the most genuine women in my life. Living so close to each other again has been so great for our friendship. I can always count on Rachel to say yes to a workout class or a cheesesteak... (it's called balance.) Rachel is one of those people that lights up the room when she walks in. I trust her with my life, my makeup on my wedding day, my deepest secrets, and most importantly, my daughter. I love you Rae!
Ernst Ambroise
Groomsman
My other brother E! Ernst was one of the first guys I actually met when I first moved out to Sayreville, NJ. I knew nobody and I mean NOBODY! I actually rolled up to the park by myself to shooting hoops one summer and E was at the courts on the same day. He asked me to be on his squad the first day I went to the park, we probably played ball for about 4-5 hours nonstop, all wins! And ever since then we had a brotherly bond. All though we both retired from ball, I think he still know he can get that work! Ernst is living a great, success life down in Miami, FL now and although its hundreds of miles away, when we link up it like you never left. Thank you for being part of this special day in life.
Lamont Smith
Groomsman
A lot of us know him as Skillz! Skillz has been my partner in crime since we’ve been kids. We went to the same elementary school, same middle school(s), same pop warner team, same rec league team, same AAU Team, same summer camps, same rap group(long story haha), you name it! He’s my brother for life! We don’t get together as much as we used to because like some of those other things we have in common, we’re both ambitious with a strong work ethic. You’ve been an inspiration to me, inspiring me to keep working hard and chasing my dream.
Amanda Boccelli
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I always joke that we're Diva Sisters. Our daily texts consist of going back and forth between nail polish colors, forwarding each other the current specials at The Melting Pot, and complaining about something dramatic that happened in our day. Our friendship initiated by our common hate for Developmental Psych, (more so our professor, than the material) my sophomore year of college. Amanda is Londyn's God Mother, my forever friend, and one of the only people who understands my obsession with Mod About You.
Mike Lewis
Groomsman
Now this guy right here.. Loves talking trash! Mike definitely keeps things interesting. But I’ve known Mike ever since freshman year of high school. We first met at tryouts, day of Thanksgiving for Basketball. My opinion, we had the best freshman basketball team in New Jersey at the time but I’ll save that for another time. Although I wasn’t at Sayreville High for too long, Mike stayed loyal and has been a true friends. I swear every time Mike is around its nonstop laughter, he brings joy into the room every room he steps in. Thanks for staying down and celebrating this special day with me.
Brittany Sandone
Bridesmaid
Brittersweet, Queen B, my Britty!!! It's crazy how life works, huh? It hasn't been until recently that we have become so close. I have always been a firm believer that God puts certain people in our lives at different times, for different reasons. You are the sunshine I need on a rainy day. Living so close to you has been so wonderful. You are so amazing with Londyn, and always make Lamar and I feel so welcomed in your family. I am so happy to have had you by my side through my good days, by bad days, and all the days in between. This world needs more people like you.
Kyan Haines
Groomsman
Yo Kyan! Question, how come me and you were the only ones who got called out for having designed corn rolls in high school?! haha So many moments to reflect back on at St. Joseph High School. Basketball for us in high school was life! If it wasn’t about basketball we did not want to hear it! We’ve been through tough battles and we’ve gotten stronger through each adversity. It didn’t take long for me to know that you would be someone I trust on and off the court. You’ve always been positive and provided me on some great advice on how to be a great dad. I appreciate you bro!
Amy Wenrich
Bridesmaid
Amy! My forever friend, cousin, and problem solver. For the past four years, we've had distance against us, but we haven't let that change a thing. We have one of the realest and most genuine relationships. We are so honest with each other, some would think it's rude. We get each other on a different level. I know I can trust you with anything, and will always have you on my side. I am so blessed to have you stand beside me on my special day, and even more blessed to have you as family. I love you!
Bryan Champagne
Groomsman
B Champ! We could never stay out of trouble! My pops could only say to us “Why!” lol Lots of lesson learned man. Bryan and I never played High School basketball together but we’ve travel the nation playing AAU together. Throughout the years of our friendship Bryan has been loyal and trustworthy, and it only right that I have you up there with me while I begin this new chapter in my life.
Melissa Brelsford
Bridesmaid
Melissa is my oldest cousin. She has been my role model ever since I have been a little girl. I remember wishing I could play the piano like her when I was younger. As we've grown older, we have shared so many fun times together. I know that no matter what happens in life, I will always have Mel for whatever I may need.
David Brelsford
Groomsman
Dave is Steph’s cousin, and means the world to her. You have been around since the first week I met Steph. We have had some of the best times together, and I’m honored to be able to call you family.
Ashley Shaner
Bridesmaid
The fact that you were the person that taught me how to drive ( in your mother's leased car) says a lot about our friendship. High School would not have been the same without you. There is absolutely nothing I can't come to you with. You have sacrificed so much to be such a great friend to me. You never let distance impact our friendship. If anything, our friendship has only gotten stronger over the years. We haven't lived in the same state in 9 years, but whenever were together, we pick up right where we left off. You mean so much to me, Ashley, and have stayed by my side through it all. I can't imagine not having you there on my wedding day.
Alison Wallace
Bridesmaid
Ali Cat! We went from our embarrassing middle school days ( LPAA basketball & Hollister Hoodies,) to having the times of our life in High School (Color Day Sleepovers, Fall Balls, Football Games,) to going to college so close together. We celebrated our 15th and 25th birthdays together. You are the only person who can talk me into zip lining across a city, always has the best fashion advice, and never turns down an adventure. Although you won't be making my wedding dress, I am very very honored to have you standing beside me in it.
Odilenny Baez
Bridesmaid
My Odi! You keep me young, wild, and free. Some of my favorite memories stem back to our days (basically) living together, when all we had in our fridge were LUSH face masks, wine, and leftover pizza. From fashion shows, modeling, and getting you into clubs at 19, I can honestly say college would not have been the same without you. We share the same philosophies, obsess over highlighters, and have taught Londyn the importance of Starbucks. We get each other on a different level, and you will always be the Ebony to my Ivory.
Madisyn Parente
Bridesmaid
My real life Sissy! I love you as much as you love counting your change. You will always be my little sister, and the brave one in the family. Your wit, sense of humor, and say-it-how-it-is attitude is hard not to love. Even on your worst days, you have nothing but kind things to say to me. Having you in my wedding is truly an honor, and I am glad you are able to fill this role for me.
Natalie & Isabelle
Jr. Bridesmaids
Ironically, Natalie and Isabelle came into my life the same month that Lamar did. In fact, I was at their home when Lamar contacted me for the first time. I had the pleasure of nannying these two while I was in college at Cabrini. I never thought a job could bring me so much joy. Although I no longer get to spend my weeknights with them, I could not imagine not having my girls with me on my special day!
Londyn Fisher
Flower Girl
Our pride and joy! Of course Londyn is going to be our Flower Girl on our special day! Momma & DaDa love you!
