Teresa & Daniel
Wedding Party
Ashleigh Frager
Matron of Honor
Teresa grew up believing that Ashleigh was her legitimate big sister. From the minute Teresa was born, she was attached to Ashleigh's hip (so much so, that Ashleigh's spine is actually crooked from carrying her). Teresa idolized Ashleigh and wanted to do everything her big sissy did, which included moving to Los Angeles! Ashleigh and Teresa have experienced every life event and transition together. From school recitals and first boyfriends, to company launches and weddings, the two have celebrated each other through every season of life. More importantly, they have been there for each other in the hard and messy. God knew the girls needed a sister to go through life with, and life is all the more sweeter because of it. Meet the Big Sissy of Honor, Ashleigh Frager!
Anthony Fadelli
Best Man
Anthony is Dan's older brother, but is also his role model and best friend. Growing up, Anthony paved the way as a dominate athlete, challenging and encouraging his younger brothers in sports. As Anthony grew older, he led the way into the family business, establishing the work ethic needed for success. Now, Dan and Anthony are living together, working together and growing together as they continue to build and envision the future of the Fadelli family business.
Alexandra Smullen
Bridesmaid
Alexandra "Rae" Smullen is Dan's sister! Teresa and Alexandra met in the Summer of 2013, when Dan first brought Teresa over to meet the family in Lake Tahoe. I think Teresa and Rae fell for each other more than Dan and Teresa at first! The girls always talked about how they hoped to become real sisters one day, and their wish is finally coming true! Rae has been instrumental in Dan and Teresa's relationship since the beginning, always encouraging both parties while they grew and matured over the years. It is because of Alexandra that Teresa and Dan got back together in 2017! Alexandra Rae is an amazing listener, the most authentic friend, and the best sister a girl could hope to gain.
Nick Fadelli
Best Man
Though Nick is the youngest member of the Fadelli family, he doesn't let his big brothers beat him up. In fact, it's quite the opposite! Nick brings home the trophy for Fadelli "MVP" and absolutely dominates athletically (though this is very difficult for Dan to admit). Nick also has a need for speed, and you can catch him zooming around Lake Tahoe on jet skis or boats during the Summer months. Nick was the first Fadelli to meet and befriend Teresa by racing her on the jet ski's and eventually encouraged Dan to go meet her. The future looks bright for Nick and his brothers as they continue to grow together!
Kate Brickley
Bridesmaid
Kate & Teresa were first introduced to one another through Bridesmaid Avery Stefan at IVY's Winter Gala in Los Angeles. Their friendship was sparked by their mutual entrepreneurial spirits as the girls started having monthly dinner parties discussing their next big idea for a business venture. Always there to uplift one another and to provide career insights, their friendship was taken to the next level as they started to confide in one another on their personal growth and challenges. Kate & Teresa keep each other grounded, they push one another to be great, and they go after their dreams together. You can bet Teresa tries to convince Kate to move to Northern California every single time they talk on the phone!
Eddie Garcia
Groomsman
Dan & Eddie's first face-off was at the East Bay vs. Sacramento All-Star football game in 2011. After multiple football camps, their competitive spirit made them lifelong friends. Eddie is the party-starter and event planner of the group. Whether its a trip to Las Vegas or a night out in San Francisco, he knows what to wear, what to do and who you have to meet to have a good time. Eddie is one classy #legend.
Megan Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Megan and Teresa met in 2010 during their freshman year at Wheaton College. Quickly realizing they were two of the only girls from California at school, they knew they had to meet up and complain about the terrible Illinois winters together! Instantaneously, they became best friends and roommates, and Megs became Teresa's ray of sunshine during those long winters. Megan & Teresa studied abroad in Florence, Italy together and spent six months back packing through Europe. They share memories that will last them an entire lifetime. Megan radiates joy, is an incredible wife, and is full of wisdom and understanding. She is the type of friend every girl needs in her life!
Patrick Worstell
Groomsman
You can catch Dan & Pat arguing over everything like an old married couple. They originally met during football camp at Cal while playing a competitive game of ping pong. During this heated match, their conversation soon shifted to one that mirrors the movie, "Stepbrothers", when the brothers exclaim, "did we just become best friends"?! Pat moved to Nashville, Tennessee after college graduation, but you can still catch the boys lovingly bickering via voicemail to one another!
Alexa Adams
Bridesmaid
Alexa transferred into Wheaton College in 2012 joining the women's soccer team. As the all-star athlete on campus, she was a force to be reckoned with! One day, Megan Mitchell (another Bridesmaid!) brought Alexa over to attend a Zac Brown Band concert together. Teresa & Alexa's mutual love of country music and carpool karaoke to Taylor Swift quickly brought them together (embarrassing, I know). The next year, they were roommates. Alexa and Teresa were inseparable when it came to their 5:30am hot yoga classes, Red Mango runs, and their netflix movie marathons. Seven years later Alexa continues to be the most loyal, loving and supportive friend a girl could ask for. She always has your back and would go to the ends of the earth for you!
Matt Cimino
Groomsman
Matt & Dan have been inseparable since diapers. Growing up next door to one another, the boys ruled the neighborhood. Whether it was skateboarding, hockey or rollerblading down the street, they always had a good time, even if it was at the expense of their neighbors passing by! Though their neighborhood street gang dissolved, the boys continued to have each others back through middle school, high school and beyond.
Avery Stefan
Bridesmaid
Avery & Teresa grew up one town apart from one another, yet it took them both moving to Los Angeles to finally become friends! The girls met through IVY, but their friendship developed through their weekly bible study group. Every Sunday night their friends would gather in Hermosa Beach or Marina Del Rey for fellowship, food, and a darn good time. Avery and Teresa practiced intentional community together and their relationship became so strong because of it! Avery still lives in LA and is getting married in Tuscany, Italy this year to her fiance, Mark Rafalovich!
Alex Mirante
Groomsman
Dan & Alex developed a strong friendship at a young age while playing sports! You could say that Dan and Alex were bad influences on each other as they loved to cause trouble and pull pranks on their friends, family and teachers at school. There was never a dull moment between these two as their lives mirrored the TV show, "Impractical Jokers". As they grew older, Alex decided to pursue wrestling where he went on to play D1 at Hofstra University. Through the busyness of sports and life, Dan and Alex remained close like family.
Katie Sullivan
Bridesmaid
One of Teresa's oldest friends, Katie and Teresa attended both middle school and high school together. That's right, they went through their awkward stages together. From first middle school dances, to getting their drivers licenses, to yearbook committee and Prom night, the girls have endless stories (and blackmail! ;) ) to share. Though college took them separate ways, the two remained close and continued to confide in one another over the years. Growing up together, they became family, and Teresa will always see Katie as a sister!
Michael Smullen
Groomsman
When Mike began dating Dan's sister, Alexandra, they immediately hit it off! Whether it was their long talks on politics or discussions about their passion for Jiu Jitsu, they have always had their hobbies in common. Their friendship deepened as the Smullen family grew and Dan became an Uncle for the first time to baby Mike. Dan sees how happy Mike makes his sister Alexandra and feels lucky to have him as a brother-in-law!
