Wedding Party
Natalia
Bridesmaid
My lifelong bestie! We met in high school at Tampa Catholic sophomore year. She was the new kid just moved to Florida. She had these huge blue plastic hoops on and I was like my girl ( love my hoop earrings)! I introduced myself and told her I loved her earrings and to sit with us at lunch. We had every English class together and the rest is history. After high school we stayed close hanging out every summer. After college we even lived in the same apartment complex for a year. We have partied together, spent birthdays and summers together, and so many other adventures. Several years have passed but our friendship remained the same. I was there for the birth of her baby girl Mila, us crying in the delivery room. I was there for her graduating nursing school, milas baptism, her fab clearwater beach wedding, and everything in between. After I moved to NC nothing changed. We call and text weekly. She came for the birth of Lorenzo and will make the best Godmother ever! Were older now and vacationing with our families melts my heart. We had the best trip last April in Orlando! Now its my turn to tie the knot and it only makes since to have my childhood bestie of 18 years by my side!!
Haley
Bridesmaid
When I first moved to NC I was looking for a salon to call home and also a hairstylist for my mermaid hair. I remember pops driving me by phenix salon suites and stopped in front of Haleys door. He said here's a salon, to which I said I cant jump into a suite with no clientele but deff one day I will work here..but you see that girls room?! I want her to do my hair and I want be her friend. Haleys room was and still is a 2000s dream vibe, colorful with a glowing neon sign. Pops told me to jump out and grab her card so I did. I stalked her on IG and made an appointment. 8 hours later I was a mermaid! I asked her to hang out one day so we met at hello sailor. We both ordered the popcorn shrimp and the rest is history! Haley has done my hair for the last 4 years but has also been a wonderful friend. We gone on so many adventures, going out downtown Charlotte or traveling across the state to set up Haleys fab disco dolphin store. We have also worked side by side doing a handful of hair and makeup for weddings. It's always an adventure with Haley, LOL. She's the best cheerleader anyone could want to have in their circle. The most supportive and boss babe friend any girl could have!
Christie
Matron of Honor
We met thru mutual friends 3 years ago. Christie brought her daughter to my salon for a haircut and we hit it off right away. We talked about starting up a networking group, so we met up at first watch one day for brunch. While we never started the group we would always message each other ideas. The more her and her daughter came to my salon for haircuts the more I wanted to be friends. I invited Christie to my baby shower and she gave me the most useful gift ever! She always checked on me after Lorenzo and gave me advice when I needed it. Shortly after Lorenzo was born I made a post asking for a walking buddy and she was the first to respond. We started walking together with our boys and it became a weekly thing. We walked the ymca weekly and would go to hobby lobby after, and we still do. My fav adventure is us getting up at 4am to drive two hours away to buy the finest cheap china from replacements ltd (which began my love for fine china and table setting). If we don't see each other weekly were texting daily!
Kara
Bridesmaid
When I first met Kara I thought, what a sweet girl for my brother to finally find. My brother and I lived together in 2019 and that's around when we first met. She came over to the apartment to scoop Martin and they were going to the gym, again huge plus for my bro. She stayed the night on weekends and was never disrespectful. She even made a killer bread pudding. I knew she was right for Martin because she started coming to see me to get her hair done, lol. When our lease was up I was moving to NC and Martin was moving down Florida south for school and Kara followed him, moving in with him. Needless to say they have been together 6 years now! We've gone to dinner tons of times, they visit every summer and every other Christmas. Kara is the best dog mom to bolt, insanly hardworking, and will be an amazing sister in law one day ;) Oh and huge hockey fan, go bolts!!
Mila
Flower Girl
Natalias sweet and adorable daughter. I was there for her birth and have watched her grow up all these years, she's practically my niece! She was so careful and sweet to Lorenzo when he was born and was the absolute cutest playing with him on our vacay last April. She's currently in dance class and loves foxes!
Layla
Flower Girl
She's Tjs sisters daughter, his niece, and proud to call her my future niece! She loves playing with her cousin Lorenzo, so gentle and loving. She loves all things girly, barbies, makeup, and sanrios cinnaminroll!
Wyatt
Ring Security
Tjs sisters son, his nephew and my future nephew! Wyatt is so caring and protective of Lorenzo. He loves the outdoors, collecting pokemon, and playing Fortnite with his uncle Tj!
Lorenzo Armani
Ring Bearer
I think we all know who this handsome little boy is!!
Shane
Best Man
For over 15 years, Shane has been more than just a friend—he’s been my brother. We go way back to those nights of tossing the football under the streetlights, with EDM in our ears and nothing but time ahead of us. Through the highs and lows, he’s been there—whether it was 4 a.m. kitchen talks about life or wild nights that ended in arguments with locals (and a pair of ruined $600 shoes). Shane is the kind of person who shows up, stands strong, and never switches up. We've laughed till it hurt, argued like brothers, and grown through everything life threw our way. It’s an honor to have him by my side today—someone who’s seen me at my best and my worst and still shows up with loyalty and love. Here’s to the journey we've shared and the ones still ahead. I couldn't ask for a better friend to stand with me on my day.
Nick
Groomsman
Man, where do I even begin with Nick? Our story goes way back—our families knew each other from the old-school days in Rhode Island, spending summers out at Johnson’s Pond. That’s where the bond started, and it’s only grown stronger since. Fast forward to our early 20s, I get a call out of the blue—it’s Nick. One thing led to another, and next thing you know, we’re living together. And honestly, those turned out to be some of the best memories of my life. We had a campfire going strong for 30 days straight, fireworks lighting up the night (and causing just a little mayhem), and moments that still make me laugh to this day. Nick’s more than just a friend—he’s family. A true brother. Someone who's been there through it all, always down, always solid. I couldn’t imagine my day without him standing beside me. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Brian
Groomsman
I met Brian while working at Lowe’s, and from the start, I knew he was solid. He’s one of those rare people you can call at 2 a.m., even if you’re an hour away—and he’ll be there, no questions asked. That kind of loyalty doesn’t come around often. We’ve been through some wild times on the job and had just as much fun outside of work. Whether it was lifting heavy loads or lifting each other’s spirits, Brian’s always been the guy who shows up early, stays late, and gives it his all—every time. Hardworking, dependable, and real to the core. Having Brian by my side on my big day means the world to me. He’s not just a coworker turned friend—he’s family now.
Josh
Groomsman
Josh and I go way back—our families grew up together in Rhode Island, spending countless summers out at Johnson Pond. Those were the golden days, and Josh was always part of that core crew. Fast forward to me living in North Carolina, I’m walking through Walmart and—boom—I run into Josh. I was stunned. Like, “What are you doing here?!” It was one of those small-world moments that you never forget. Josh is that friend who shows up when you need him most. He’s the MacGyver of the group—give him a busted motor and a paperclip, and somehow it’s running again. Always dependable, always helpful, and always ready to jump in when things get tough. Having Josh here with me on my big day means more than I can put into words. He’s a true friend, through and through, and I’m honored to have him by my side.
