Wedding Party
Caitlin Pawlaczyk
Bride
Future Mrs. Valentino here! I am so honored to have all of my closest friends by my side the day I say I do to my best friend and soul mateš©µ Hereās to a day I will never forget!
Brennan Valentino
Groom
I canāt thank everyone enough for helping us get to this point! I couldnāt be more excited to stand up there and say āI doā.
Mindy Christiano
Matron of Honor
My husband Ben and I were friends with Brennan in college and were so thankful he introduced us to Caitlin.Ā The four of us hang out almost weekly and we have a blast every single time! We've made so many great memories starting in their Rochester apartment and continuingĀ to their beautiful redoneĀ home. If I had to pick a favorite memory, it would have to be our first camping trip together. The four of us stayed in our pop-up camper in Bully Hill State Forest a few hours from Rochester.Ā We played games, hung out by the fire, cooked great food, and maybe had a little too much fun with photos to prove it! I'm so excited to keep creating more memories together. Cheers to The Valentino's!!
Benjamin Christiano
Best Man
My name is Ben Christiano and I am a Mechanical Engineer. I was introduced to Brennan after a mutual friend found out we were both going to the University at Buffalo. We eventually became roommates at the legendary 1229 and the rest is history! My wife, Mindy, and I started dating at this time. After graduation, work brought us both to Rochester where Caitlin was introduced to us! We quickly established a competitive dynamic and began to gather on a weekly basis. It started with games like cricket and euchre and evolved into anything where a score is kept (and maybe a few drinks along the way). This would become the foundation for the awesome friendship we have today!
Alyssa Gambacorta
Maid of Honor
I am a wedding coordinator in Chicago, IL. by day, and by night Iām Caitlinās Maid of Honor and lifelong bestie! From slurping juice boxes together to drinking wine in the backyard, Caitlin and I share 26 years of friendship. Weāve been together through the Polly pockets phase, puberty, graduations and all the āare you kidding meās?!ā together. Though we live 10 hours apart, within that 25 years of friendship a bond as strong as sisterhood was built and remains. We donāt get to see each other often, but when we do, itās EPIC
Thomas Cuozzo
Groomsman
Thomas Cuozzo maintenance worker. Iām Brennanās Cousin/friend. When were younger he was sneaking up my bunk bed, and I had a yeti action figure and I scared him so hard ā¦. Letās just say he ruined his PokĆ©mon cards in his pocket šš
Brooke Valentino
Bridesmaid/Sister of the Groom
Nurse Practitioner by trade and Caitās soon to be sister in law! Letās just sayā¦ my sibling ship with Brennan has come a long way since I used to shove him into TV stands as a toddler. From those chaotic childhood moments to late nights closing down the Jolly Jug, and laughing until our stomachs hurt at Itās Always Sunny in my old apartmentāweāve built a bond thatās only grown stronger over the years. Iāve always been able to count on Brennan for good advice, a great music selection, and an even better time. Watching him grow into the person he is todayāand find the love he has with Caitāhas been such a privilege. Cait and I clicked right away, bonding over tequila, acme pizza and too many late nights on Monroe Ave. She became part of our family so effortlessly, and Iām incredibly lucky to call her the sister I never had.
Jessee Walsh
Groomsman
Iām Jessee. Iām a service technician. I met Brennan and Cait in 2019 through Brennanās sister, Brooke. Some of my favorite memories with Brennan include Sly shots and our Wade Boggs challenges!
Christina Olverd
Bridesmaid
I am a Physician Assistant in Massachusetts, and Iāve been friends with Caitlin since she moved to Mount Morris and joined Mrs. Reedās third-grade class. We became friends almost instantly and spent the rest of our school years having āsleeplessā sleepovers, hiding behind pillows during our scary movie nights, going on late-night drives blasting Justin Bieber while getting lost on back roads, and laughing until someone told us to shut up. Even though we went to different colleges and eventually lived in different states, our friendship has never wavered ā every time we reunite, itās as if no time has passed at all.
Austin Mazurowski
Groomsman
My name is Austin Mazurowski and I build powerlines for work. Brennan and I first met at the legendary residence ā1229 Eggerttā where he lived with Ben C. and my brother Bryce. We spent a lot of great nights having way too many natty ices. I have always admired Brennanās drive and focus especially with things like his quest to find the perfect truck and renovating their house. I am excited to celebrate him and Cait being a great match!
Tamara Rivera
Bridesmaid
Iām a Student Specialist with The Center for Youth, and one of Caitlinās bridesmaids, and best friends! Caitlin and I first became friends playing soccer together. As the two most obnoxious ones on the team, it didnāt take long before we were inseparable. From soccer practices and sleeping on the gym floor before early basketball games, to Disney movie nights and driving around scream-singing our favorite songs, we were always the āif you do it, Iāll do itā duo. Now, I get to stand by her side on her big day. Weāve been through so much together, and I couldnāt be happier to see her step into this next beautiful chapter of her life.
Jake Alverson
Groomsman
Im coming from Denver Colorado where I live with my girlfriend Arianna and work as a caterer. I grew up across the street from Brennan and he was my first friend I had when we moved to Cuylerville in the 2nd grade. We've been close friends ever since hanging out most days as kids, and continuing that friendship as adults. The memories over the past 20 years are countless but my favorite will always be riding our bikes in circles for hours in the driveway just chatting about sports, music, video games, whatever. I got to know Cait when I would visit home from Oswego and now Denver, everytime I'm more convinced her and Brennan are meant for each other. It's truly a joy to finally see and be apart of this wedding.
Abigail Provo
Bridesmaid/Sister of the Bride
Full-time College Student, Part-time Lifeguard, Caitlinās favorite little sister for life. I would always find some way to be the annoying little sister. I would stand right outside her doorway, not technically in her room, to get her attention and annoy her, unless Caitlin was screaming at me to come and kill a centipede that she found in her room near her ever-growing collection of shoes. Even with the big age gap, we have always found a way to bond, whether it be me inviting myself to the Just Dance session on the Wii with her friends or Caitlin sneaking me into the drive-in at the Charcoal Corral. I am so happy to see my sister marry the man of her dreams, and I canāt wait to have some more fun outings at Woodlawn Distillery with Caitlin and Brennan!
Chad & Stephanie Valentino
Mother and Father of the Groom
We have watched Brennan and Caitlin grow in the last six years. Their journey started in a tiny apartment to remodeling a beautiful home to call their own. Their commitment, love and respect for each other is always present. Although we already consider Caitlin a daughter, we are thrilled for it to become official! We couldnāt be more proud of you both.
David & Karen Provo
Mother and Step-Father of the Bride
Caitlin brings joy and laughter wherever she goes. Her smile is contagious, and she is loved by everyone she meets. Seeing Caitlin and Brennan grow together has been a blessing. We couldnāt have asked for a better man to love our daughter, take care of her, and become a part of our family. Ā We are so proud of the woman Caitlin has become and so thankful she has found the man of her dreams. We wish you nothing but happiness.
