Wedding Party
Cassidy Myers
Maid of Honor
Cassidy is my younger sister turned best friend! We've spent most of our lives together--we grew up sharing the same love for dance, American Girl Dolls, and Meadows ice cream, then we attended the same university, and now we live in a small New York City apartment together! Cassidy is the best sister a girl could ask for. She's already been a Maid of Honor extraordinaire, and I know she'll continue to be my greatest supporter throughout my wedding and throughout every other moment in my life--both big and small.
Bianca Bovo
Best Woman
Bianca is my older sister and best friend and credited with bestowing upon me the family nickname I'll never shake, Yuyo. I started dancing all because I was one of many boys waiting around at the studio for their sisters to finish class. I'm grateful to have been one of those brothers because it would merge mine and Bianca's worlds in a way that would make us life long friends. Through the years we've amassed a plethora of inside jokes and have even developed telepathy. I can't imagine getting through my wedding day much less anything else without my big sister!
Alyssa Dinka
Bridesmaid / Officiant
Alyssa has been our roommate in NYC for the past 5 years and she is simply the BEST! We met YEARS ago as teenagers at the Rockette Summer Intensive and kept in touch since. We've had many cafe dates, game nights, and Stevie and I have been featured in many of her Dinka Doing Daily videos! She's an incredible friend to both of us individually and has supported us in our relationship every step of the way. We are so grateful to have her as our bridesmaid and as our officiant. Alyssa is the perfect person to marry us!
Kevin Forte
Best Man
Established in 1998, Kevin and I were always destined to be friends. Between our parents working together and our sisters being members of the Butterflies, it only made sense to put two little boys together and let them run around... and not much has changed. The after school activities we did together include, but are not limited to: Angel's Voices, flag football, and tae kwon do. In 2022, I had the honor of being Kevin's best man in Positano, Italy, and there was never a doubt in my mind that he'd be there for me on my day. I'm lucky to have a Kevin as a life long friend and brother!
Caitlyn Martin
Bridesmaid
Caitlyn and I first met at the Rockette Summer Intensive in 2014, and we still laugh about the photo our moms made us take after the end-of-week showcase! A few years later, we met again at Shenandoah University as incoming freshmen dance majors! We spent the next 4 years at SU being an inseparable dynamic duo. We moved to New York City after graduation and lived together until Caitlyn got married in 2024. College "Cait and Riss" would be so proud of how far we've come in our careers, in our relationships, and as best friends. I got to be her bridesmaid in 2024, and now I'm so grateful that she will be mine!
Marek Zurowski
Groomsman
Marek and I first met while rehearsing for our Tokyo production of West Side Story in 2019. Nothing brings people closer together than living abroad for 3 months on the opposite side of the world. While in Tokyo, we spent everyday together, working on our show during the day and gallivanting around the city at night. We explored all parts of the city, tried so many foods, and once even wrestled in the middle of the street. All of this was the grand opening for a friendship that has withstood the test of time and space. Since then, we've spent so much time apart due to various contracts and such, but despite that we reunite like we saw each other only yesterday. I can promise our wedding day will be that much more fun because Marek won't let it go any other way!
Carli Robinette
Bridesmaid
Carli and I became very fast friends when we met in New York City at our shared fitness job! We wasted no time taking dance classes together, going on many coffee and margarita dates, and making our boyfriends (now fiancés!) become friends too so we could double date. Carli is the most genuinely supportive person I know-- no matter if we're talking about our shared career goals in dance and fitness, or wedding planning as 2026 brides together, she always unapologetically supports me in my goals and decisions. I can't wait to stand by her side as she gets married in April 2026!
Dennis Lejardi
Groomsman
Despite being Kevin's two best friends, Dennis and I took way too long to finally meet. It wasn't until Kevin's 21st birthday that I finally came face to face with "the other best friend". This phantom, that I'd heard so much about, but never met or even seen a picture of, was finally a real person. Shocker, our connection was immediate and we've been close ever since. So close, we're actually primos! Through the years, we've taken trips to Disney and conquered Rome together. Dennis feels like someone I've known my entire life, and our wedding day simply wouldn't be complete without el primo Dennis there!
Abby Mento
Bridesmaid
Abby and I have been friends since Kindergarten! We have been through it all together-- elementary school field trips, middle school band and chorus concerts, high school graduation, and working at the same summer program as teachers. During our childhood, we would attend each other's pool parties, play with "Pumpkiny and Batty," and we may have accidentally driven a go-cart through my dad's shed... Although Abby and I never danced together, she never missed any of my dance recitals or Nutcrackers--I could always count on seeing her smiling face in the audience! I was honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding in 2024, and I can't wait to have her stand by me in my own wedding!
Richard Westfahl
Groomsman
My oldest friend in the city. Richard and I met at one of my first professional jobs after school in April of 2018, which was less than a year after we graduated college. We had so much in common, and we were together so frequently that our cast mates started calling us "work husbands". We'd end up doing a second show at the same theatre only a few months later that only strengthened our bond. By the end of 2018, we'd both find ourselves back in NY, and he was the first friend I had in the big bad city that I hadn't already known from school. Years have passed and he remains someone I've been able to lean on in good times and bad. I'm so happy to have him with me on the big day!
Lexington Abbas-Brown
Junior Bridesmaid
I became Lexie's nanny in NYC back in 2020 when she was just 3 years old. We spent the past 6 years playing with her Paw Patrol toys, going to numerous museums, playing soccer on a myriad of playgrounds, and having movie night (with popcorn and sometimes s'mores!) every Friday. Lexie enjoys playing with me, but LOVES it when Stevie stops by to play with us too! Lexie and I are very close and I consider her and her mom a part of my family. I can't wait for Lexie to be there with me this September!
Yoxly Nuñez-Prestamo
Junior Bridesmaid
I met Yoxly when I went to Miami for the first time in 2018, and even though we didn't speak the same language at the time, we became fast besties! Yoxly and I love to make crafts, bake yummy food, and play fun games together. Yoxly continues to help introduce me to all of the delicious food and fun that Miami has to offer, and I do the same for her when she visits us in New York City. She will be an amazing Junior Bridesmaid!
Jemma McCabe
Flower Girl
Jemma is one of my sweet little flower girls! Jemma's mommy Jocelyn and I are cousins, and we grew up choreographing dances at every family event, going to Nascar races with Aunt Sue and Uncle Mike, and Black Friday shopping together every year. Jemma and I like to play kitchen and Target shopper together. Jemma did an INCREDIBLE job as Flower Girl for her Pap and Nana, and I predict she will be just as great for me in September!
Kensley Karalfa
Flower Girl
Kensley is the tiniest member of our bridal party! Kensley is a very smiley girl and has the Myers family wrapped around her little finger. Kensley's mommy Julia and I are cousins, and we grew up spending hours playing together in Aunt Sue's Barbie Room and crashing waves at our family beach vacations. I can't wait for sweet Kensley to be a part of our special day!
