Wedding Party
Katie Johnson
Maid of Honor
Katie and Carina met their freshmen year of college at Suffolk University. The two performed together in Rampage Show Choir, and at the end of that first year decided to be roommates. They got up to lots of fun shenanigans throughout their college years, from buying candles as the fire alarm in the dorm went off & sneaking them back into the building, living with a kitty (Maple!), performing on stage, supporting each other through their studies, and even sticking together through the COVID lockdown. In the years after they graduated from college, the two have remained very close, and will travel cross country about once a year to visit each other. Carina couldn't envision her wedding without Katie by her side, and is so grateful to have such a supportive best friend!
Zeke Dattile
Best Man
Zeke and Ryan became friends through meeting in their apartment building! While Zeke and Ryan have gotten close, his wife and Carina have also become great friends. They go on quite a few double dates, and love spending time all together. From seeing bad movies, watching UFC pay-per-views, to marathon gaming sessions, Ryan and Zeke have built a great friendship. Zeke is one of the best types of friends you could ever have.
Molly Rotenstein
Matron of Honor
Carina met Molly her sophomore year of college at Suffolk University through Rampage Show Choir. They quickly bonded over common interests, and simply loved being goofy and performing together. Over the years, the two have created a strong friendship with matching strawberry tattoos, performances of iconic duets at Rampage's year end cabarets, existing in the same COVID lockdown bubble, adopting pandemic pets, and spending numerous game nights, Halloween, and New Years Eve parties together. Carina was the maid of honor in Molly's wedding, and she loves being able to have such a wonderful, happy, and healthy couple to look up to as she embarks on the journey of forever with Ryan.
Colin O'Donnell
Groomsman
Though they tried to kill each other many times in their youth, Ryan and Colin were each others first friends. They have grown very close over time as only brothers could. The best damn hand sanitizer salesman in the tri-state area.
Taylor Driscoll
Bridesmaid
Carina met Taylor her freshman year of college through Rampage Show Choir, and the two became quite close during their trip to New York to host a high school show choir competition! As roommates for the trip, the two struggled to open iron boards, explored the city of New York and performed together on stage. Over the years, they have remained close and love getting brunch at the Connection Cafe in Holbrook (specifically the amazing mimosas) or catching up over a drink! Taylor is also one of the best cat sitters, and has often taken care of the kitties when Carina and Ryan have traveled!
Nick Mcelroy
Groomsman
Ryan and Nick met at Unity College in their freshman year. Their friendship started with being roommates, and has lasted beyond their college years. While they may not see each other as often as they'd like, their friendship has still remained strong over the years!
Rachel Dattile
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Carina met through their apartment building, living right down the hall from each other! The two became quick friends over their mutual love for cats, TJ Maxx/Marshalls, Walmart adventures, and tattoos! The two even have matching witchy cat tattoos that they got in Salem!
Vac Hernandez
Groomsman
Vac and Ryan have been friends for nearly a decade now, and even though he lives in Texas, the two have been able to remain close. Good guy. Best carry in Fortnite there ever was.
Morgan Fresa
Bridesmaid
Morgan is Carina's cousin, who was born when she was 15 years old. Every time the two are together there are loads of smiles and giggles, and Morgan ALWAYS knows how to make a bad day for Carina better. From going to the Guilford fair, Carina putting little space buns in Morgans hair, to simply sharing happy moments sitting on the couch together, Morgan and Carina have formed an unmistakable bond.
Matthew Fresa
Groomsman
Matthew is Carina's younger cousin, who was born the day after she turned 10 years old. He is the first baby she ever held! (which is even cooler as Carina was the first baby Matthew's dad ever held!). Since Matthew was born, Carina has been able to watch him grow into the kind, smart, and caring young man that he is today, and she is so excited to have him be part of her and Ryans special day.
Grace French & Joliet Walker
Ring Bearers
Grace French & Joliet Walker are Carina's nieces, and she is so excited to have them be part of her special day. Carina has been able to make some amazing memories with these two girls, from traveling with the whole family to Aruba (and getting stuck an extra two days with Joliet & her moms due to a cancelled flight), and numerous birthday parties and family holidays.
Carter,Sawyer,Declan & Laszlo
Flower Boys
Carter is the son of Ryan's cousins Mike & Laura. Sawyer & Declan French , as well as Laszlo Walker, are Carina's nephews, with Sawyer being her godson. Considering the youngest kiddos are all boys, Carina saw it as a perfect opportunity to put them all together as a set of flower boys!
