Bride
Thomas Alan Romin
Groom
Morgan Minitti
Maid of Honor
I first met Sophia when she was first born she is my younger cousin (2 months and 23 days to be exact) We have been inseparable for as long as I can remember, neither of us have any sisters but we became as close as some. Sophia and I spent all the years of our childhood spending time at our grandparents playing made up games and going to neighborhood garage sales then into high school where we had crazy times I can’t repeat on here then to NAU for college where we became closer than ever while living so close together and learning how to grow up together. I am forever grateful to share life with someone I call my best friend and I’m so happy you found someone as amazing as Thomas. Your relationship is everything we talked about as kids and I’m so happy for you both!
Cole Nielsen
Best Man
Tom and I have been best buds for almost 10 years now. When we had just met as freshman, we spent more time with each other, than with our actual roommates. Played on the same football teams, worked at the same pizza place, and lived in the same house for the next three years after that. Thom and I have been through lot together, and always knew that we had each other to talk to, and we were always down for whatever wild idea came up next.
Julia Dyer
Maid of Honor
I had the amazing opportunity of meeting Sophia through her little brother Nick about 7 years ago, throughout the years we have gotten closer, she has taught me lots of crafts, been a shoulder to lean on and has basically been a bonus sister and someone I look up to! I couldn’t have been more grateful for our friendship and getting to know Tom as well and everything he brings to their relationship (of course his Rockband singing skills is at the top) along with his caring and outgoing personality! They definitely balance each other out and seeing their love for sports, cooking together and all the adventures they have, I can’t wait to see where this next journey takes them and am SO excited to celebrate their special night!!🤍🤍

Best Man
Tom and I first met my freshman year in Flagstaff at NAU and quickly became close friends. We shared a love of sports, Panda Express, and video games which made for a fast and easy friendship. Over the last few years, it’s been really nice getting to know Sophia and we’ve become good friends very quickly (she is much cooler than Tom). I’m super excited to celebrate with you both and rage on your big day!
Vanessa Romin
Bridesmaid
I met Sophia when she first started dating my brother and knew that they were perfect together. Sophia embraces Thomas’ goofy personality and is now starting to crack a few corny jokes of her own. I am so happy to have Sophia join our family and I can’t wait to see all that Thomas and Sophia do in life. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness together! One day we’re going to be the crazy aunts and uncles that our kids will be talking to each other about. Love you guys so much and can’t wait to celebrate the both of you!

Thomas has been the best thing to happen to Sophia after me being her brother. Since the day I met Thomas he has always felt like a bruthrrr to me. I haven’t seen Sophia this happy ever but the two of you together puts a smile on everyone’s faces. I am excited to watch you two on this journey and be there for the both of you the same way you always have been for me. It feels good to not have to drink coors by myself anymore. I love both of you and I always feel the love back. Let’s get the ball rollin so I can be uncle Nick already

I met Sophia a couple years ago when her and Thomas first started dating. Not only is she my future sister in law but also my roommate. It has been a blast living with them and I can’t wait to continue the memories.

Words cannot express how happy I am that my sister met someone like Tom. From the moment I met him I knew my sister would be in good hands. Tom is always helping my sister in every way he can and he does it happily. It is so rare that you find someone like Tom. I am so happy that he is now apart of our family!

Officiant
I first met Tom and Sophia in October 2019 while working at Fratelli Pizza on Fourth Street in Flagstaff, Arizona. I had just transferred from a different location and knew no one at the Fourth Street branch. Needless to say, I was a little nervous during my first week; but before long, Tom and Sophia became two of my closest friends. I have countless fond memories with them (MANY of which involve 'Rock Band') and I'm so excited to continue making memories as they move on to their next chapter.

I was introduced to “Tom” as Thomas, in 2020, through his sister Vanessa. Thomas welcomed me to the family with a Coors Light, slice of pizza and Foo Fighters’s blasting in the back. When Tom introduced Sophia, it was clear the intent, connection, and love for each other was strong. They bring out the best in each other and it is a blessing to be a part of their very special day! Can’t wait to celebrate!

Tom and I first met when Morgan and I were just in the talking stage. He was just the dude that was dating morgan’s cousin. I’m not sure when it happened but we became friends really fast, bonding over sports, beer and most of all the casino. Tom and Sophia all of a sudden are a huge part of my life and are very good friends. I can’t wait to celebrate you guys. Hopefully you don’t have to help me throw up this time. Go Padres

I met Tom sometime while we were both in Flagstaff, I don’t remember exactly because it’s very blurry time period(drunk af). I do remember that we clicked ever since the beginning and we get along even better now down in the valley. Whether it’s watching sports, going to the Casino, or just going to dinner at PopPop’s with them, Tom and Soph are so much fun to be around. I am so excited to make more memories with them(get blackout drunk with them).
