Timothy and Blair
Wedding Party
Carlinda Shaw
Matron of Honor
Carlinda and Blair attended college together at St. Bonaventure University as Education Majors. They first met in an 8:30am religion class as freshman, where she taught Blair the art of eating french fries on top of salad! Their bond grew stronger over the years as Bonaventures biggest basketball fans. Carlinda was a cheerleader, and Blair was just a groupie. Fun fact- we were also born 1 day apart, Carlinda on March 4 and Blair on March 5. Go Bonas!!
Erika Freeman
Bridesmaid
Erika is Blair’s older sister who resides in Frisco, Texas. We are 7 years apart and haven't always been the best of friends, but there's no denying we are cut from the same cloth. When we are out together people ask if we are related... Erika affectionately calls Blair "Shorty," but Erika is actually the shorter one.
Candice Roden
Bridesmaid
Candice and Blair met in 2010 at an HR Seminar as they were both first year teachers. Thank goodness Candice did her homework, and was able to help Blair sign up for health insurance and a pension! Candice was Blair’s first friend when she moved to Maryland and she introduced Blair to the "Bawlmore Hon" lifestyle.
Pauline Pham
Bridesmaid
Pauline and Blair worked together for 3 years as middle school Special Education Teachers. Blair was the new kid on the block and Pauline was apprehensive to befriend her. Pauline FINALLY invited Blair for a night out with co-workers, only to find out that was Blair’s "tryout" to become Pauline’s friend. Blair so glad she passed the test and can enjoy FatPantFridays with Pauline forever.
Rachael Green
Bridesmaid
Rachael and Blair worked together as math teachers, and Rachael quickly became Blair’s Work Wife at Julius West Middle School. When Blair first came to JW, she thought Rachael was so loud and they wouldn't ever be friends. That quickly changed and the two have spent many weekends at concerts and reliving the 90s. Even though Blair is not a part of "The Tribe" Rachael will always be a part of Blair’s tribe- and yes Rachael is still loud.
Marissa Parente
Bridesmaid
Marissa is Tim's cousin, but she likes Blair more!! Marissa is one of the few granddaughters in the family, so when Tim and Blair started dating she was so happy to have another girl around. Marissa recently made the move to the DMV, and we have become the best of friends.
Steven DiNardo
Best Man
Steve “Nardo” and Tim met in high school and established a long running friendship based in large part due to the fact that they lived only a couple blocks apart. They are an odd pair, both separately and together – but somehow the friendship has worked all these years. Steve was even there when Tim proposed to Blair – though he offered no help in the planning.
Daniel Pearce
Groomsman
If you can’t tell from the last name, Dan and Tim are brothers. Dan is the older one, not much wiser though. Dan spent a lot of his younger years tormenting Tim (he’ll be happy to tell the stories) but luckily that phase ended. After nearly a decade out west in Colorado, Dan recently moved back east and lives and works in the Binghamton area.
Christopher Pearce
Groomsman
First off, if you’re looking for recommendations on Taco Bell – Chris is your guy. Chris is Tim’s younger brother and has been his whole life. In that time, the two always bonded over video games, sports, and the occasional distain for their older brother (kidding). A lover of animals and the outdoors, Chris spent his years working on the slopes in Colorado but missed the most beautiful landscape of them all – Binghamton.
Daniel Marriam
Groomsman
Dan and Tim go all the way back to high school biology class. Tim was a very good student and Dan was a very bad influence. In college the two bonded over a mutual love for fun and beer – so naturally they were roommates and left their mark on Binghamton. Dan now lives in Virginia Beach and can be found on his jet ski most days.
Patrick Graham
Groomsman
Pat and Tim bonded as early as grade school. They shared interest in music and vintage clothing. Fast forward a few years and the two were vital components of one of Binghamton’s premier touring rock and roll bands. They even got paid once or twice for playing. Pat’s now a proud father, lives in Washington state, and serves proudly in the US Army.
Francis Lazatin
Groomsman
Francis and Tim met working for a consulting firm in 2012 and their shared interest in Star Wars and lunch locations fast-tracked their relationship from co-workers to life-long friends. Francis spent a lot of time giving Tim relationship advice and could be in part responsible for Tim and Blair’s successful and healthy relationship, though we would come to find out later that this advice was based in large part on the characters in the Big Bang Theory. Francis is Tim’s best bud in DC, unfortunately he moved to New York a few years ago. You can find him on the streets of NJ fathering children and looking for good coffee.
Sarah Reynics
Flower Girl
Sarah is Blair's goddaughter and lives in Auburn, NY. She enjoys reading, swimming and bossing around her younger sister, Claire. Sarah's mom, Kim, is the oldest granddaughter in the family, while Blair is the youngest.
Mariella Romanosky
Flower Girl
Mariella "Ella" is Tim's cousin and she lives in Binghamton, NY. She is the youngest grandchild in the family and loves all the attention, especially with twin older brothers. Ella enjoys Harry Potter and playing soccer.
Xavier Love
Ring Bearer
Xavier is Blair's nephew. He is all boy, and spends most of his time playing football, basketball and baseball. Xavier lives in Frisco, TX and affectionately calls Blair "Titi Bear".
