Wedding Party
Theresa Miles
Matron of Honor
Natalie met Theresa through work in 2015 at First Source Credit Union. Throughout the different stages of their lives that they've experienced together so far, Natalie's friendship with Theresa has always remained solid. From Saranac Thursdays and nights out at the bars to hanging out at home playing games and watching movies, spending time with Theresa has always been effortless and fun. One of the most selfless and caring people Natalie has known, Theresa is someone who always puts others first and cherishes her relationships with those who mean the most to her.
Courtney Streifert
Bridesmaid
Natalie met Courtney in 2010 when she started dating her brother while in college. Courtney has been a true big sister from the start, being a positive role model. Natalie can always count on her to give good and authentic advice...especially when it comes to family! Courtney also has an amazing eye for home decor and is the ultimate DIY'er when it comes to making a house a home (she's basically Joanna Gaines). So naturally, Natalie is always looking for Courtney's input with her home projects!
Kim Howell
Bridesmaid
Kim is Greg's sister, so you can only imagine how her and Natalie met! Although Kim has lived outside of NY as long as Natalie has known her, that hasn't changed the dynamic of their relationship. The two instantly bonded over their love for mozzarella sticks, vacationing in OBX, and most recently rapping together in a club (footage not available). She is one of the most hardworking and inspirational people that you could meet and Natalie is so excited to have her stand by her side!
Meghan Ricco
Bridesmaid
Natalie met Meghan (also known as Carlo, Carlo-Ricco, and Meghan Moonshine ;) in 2013 in college while playing soccer at MVCC. Sharing a passion for soccer (and malibu rum), a lifelong friendship quickly developed. Meghan is one of the kindest, most genuine souls you could ever meet and she always sees the best in people. And if you ever want to learn a new recipe from your cookbook or need help baking up a yummy batch of cookies, Megan is your girl!
Alyssa LaPerla
Bridesmaid
Natalie met Alyssa in 2016 through mutual friends at their indoor soccer league. They immediately formed a bond over their love for dogs, ice cream, and signature cocktails at One Genny. She also played a key role in helping Greg pull together their engagement, making sure that everything was perfect. One of the most loyal and supportive people I know, Alyssa is always a phone call away and ready to listen.
Olivia Donadio
Bridesmaid
Natalie met Olivia in 2016 through their mutual friend, Theresa. Over the years of girls nights, spa days, watching Bills games with the boys, and experiencing important life moments together, Natalie's friendship with Olivia has grown into something special. Olivia is one of the most supportive and genuine people you could meet and is always thinking of others.
Michele Tolpa
Bridesmaid
Natalie met Michele, "Tolp", in 2021 through soccer and mutual friends. With playing indoor soccer on Tuesday nights after work, it became a weekly ritual to hang out at Tolp's. Plus, any time we get together with our girlfriends, Tolp is our go-to bartender for the best cocktail drinks. As one of the most selfless people that Natalie knows, Tolp is always going above and beyond for others making sure that they feel welcome and comfortable.
Reanna Zappavigna
Bridesmaid
Natalie and Reanna went to elementary school together but became close when they began training for the Boilermaker in 2019. Since then, they have become motivators for each other in other races and at the gym, while ultimately rewarding themselves with acai bowls immediately afterwards. Reanna is one of the best adventurer's and is always looking to travel different places and experience new things.
Kate Mazdzer
Bridesmaid
Natalie met Kate in 2018 through Greg's friendship with Dalton. One of their first experiences together was hiking in Keene Valley, where Greg brought steel toe boots to wear hiking...you can imagine how well that went for him. In addition to hiking, Kate & Natalie immediately bonded over their love for dogs, game nights, and preparing the perfect mixed drinks (all in that order).
Raegan Jane Streifert
Flower Girl
Raegan is Natalie’s fun-loving and quick witted niece. She has been waiting a very long time to be able to walk down the aisle and thinks that Natalie is growing her own flowers for the wedding (I wish)! Natalie is beyond excited that Raegan will be a part of her special day and has no doubt that she will make sure everyone has lots of smiles and laughs :).
JT Doolittle
Best Man
JT and Greg first met while reading books to sick children at the hospital, where they both spent their weekends volunteering. Not long after, they ran into each other helping to rehab injured baby goats at the local vet's office. It did not take long for the two to form a bond over their shared love of volunteer work, and the relationship continued to flourish after. Although none of the above stories is true, what is true is the fact that JT is one of the most solid, genuine, and caring people you will ever meet.
Dalton Divine
Groomsman
Dalton and Greg met way back in the 1990's while the two shared a few incredibly irresponsible babysitters. The two bonded over the shared traumatic experience and chose to be friends despite the babysitters being Greg's sisters. Over the years, Dalton and Greg have stayed close and often tend to procrastinate working on their own houses by helping each other with theirs. Dalton is one of the most well-read and interesting people that Greg knows and he's always down for a fun adventure.
Jamie Howell
Groomsman
Jamie and Greg met in December of 2006 over a very memorable Chuck E Cheese date. They hit it off immediately and the friendship has continued to grow, no matter the distance. Jamie is one of the most fun, funny, and genuine people that Greg knows, and if anybody is looking for a fun quip or a dad joke, look no further.
Evan Squire
Groomsman
Greg and Evan met on a snowy day in February of 2004 at Faxton-St Luke's Hospital. From that moment on Greg promised to be the best Uncle he could be to Evan and all of his nieces and nephews. Evan and Greg share a passion for all things soccer, especially Chelsea Football Club. And even though Evan grew up to be taller, better and more handsome than Greg, Greg still loves him and is proud of the man he's become.
Eric Miles
Groomsman
Greg and Eric met through Natalie's Matron of Honor, Theresa. They quickly formed a bond over their shared love of beer and women which are far too good for them (here's looking at you, Natalie and Theresa). Eric is incredibly hard-working, a fantastic father, and is always down for a good time. Just grab him a beer and he'll be down to talk about anything!
David Broedel
Groomsman
Dave "Brody" and Greg have been friends for well over 15 years. Although they met prior, they reconnected when they both went back to Mohawk Valley Community College in 2012. Greg and Brody spent most of their 20s doing everything together, including winning championships, playing video games, and one very memorable, not fun bout of COVID. Brody is one of the most loyal people that Greg knows and someday (definitely not today) he will be able to retire from golf when he finally beats Brody once.
JJ Gould
Groomsman
JJ and Greg met circa 2012 when Greg woke up on JJ's couch after night out. As guys do, they then proceeded to go golfing and then forged a lifelong friendship while bonding over shared experiences, such as birthdays (they're both born on 12/29), love of winning championships, and the unfortunate vertical challenges bestowed on them both. JJ is one of the smartest, most hard working people Greg and Natalie know and is always down for a fun adventure.
David Clayton
Groomsman
Dave "Clayton" and Greg have also been friends for well over 15 years. They also knew each other prior, but became close friends after Brody invited Greg to play indoor with Clayton, JJ and plenty of other friends. Clayton and Greg have spent plenty of years together playing, coaching, competing, and winning. Clayton's one of the most competitive and convincing (usually for good reasons) people that Greg knows and he is always ready with a story or a quip. He also is the only person able to verify that Greg actually hit a hole in one while simultaneously playing the worst round of golf known to man.
Ethan Thomson
Groomsman
Ethan and Greg met while both attending MVCC. They quickly bonded over their shared love of Utica Club, Pokemon, and debauchery. They have stayed close throughout the years, constantly helping each other with projects, moving to new locations, and trying out new video games. Ethan is one of the most determined and hard working people that Greg knows and his efforts have recently seen him champion the AMCC in his first full season as the Alfred Men's Lacrosse team. Just whatever you do don't challenge him to a game of Beerio Kart, your liver won't be able to handle it.
Bentley Streifert
Ring Bearer
The goodest boy you will ever meet, Bentley has been tasked with one of the most important jobs for the wedding as the Ring Bearer. You can guarantee zoomies, lots of sniffing, rolling in the grass, and kisses for the big day…and it will all be done in love. Greg and Natalie couldn’t imagine not sharing their day with Bentley and he’s excited for all of the new friends he’s going to meet!
