Toni & Joe
Wedding Party
Other Half
Maid of Honor
Stacie Elliott Stacie is Toni's sister. If you know anything about the pair, they are always together. They look alike, dress alike, and always get asked if they are twins even though they are two years apart. Toni has always looked up to her sister, wanting to do everything she did: ballet, cheerleading, even going to the same college. The two are inseparable. Even now, not a day goes by that the two aren't talking, texting, meeting for dinner, or hanging out. What Joe didn't realize was that when he married Toni, he wasn't only gaining a wife, but he'd be gaining her bestie too!
TLC
Bridesmaid
Laura Roussey and Caitlin Webster TLC! These three go back to the beginning. Friends since they were little, Toni, Laura, and Caitlin (TLC) have been together for it all: dance recitals, basketball games, school, and everything in between! Toni has fond memories of dribbling down the court with Laura and dancing to the Nutcracker in her "toy room" with Cait, Cait's sisters, and her own sister. Thankfully TLC is still intact as these three continue to live in close proximity to one another and see each other often.
High School Bestie
Bridesmaid
Brittany Loughry Toni and Brittany have been acquaintances since their elementary school days roller skating with their churches and their middle school days when Brittany was a member of Toni's mom's National Junior Honor Society chapter at Arbutus Middle School. It wasn't until 9th grade gym class that Toni and Britt began their real friendship. Through the years, Toni and Brittany have bonded over their love of ABC teeny bopper shows. Toni was honored to be a bridesmaid in Brittany's wedding and is thankful Brittany will stand with her on November 20th.
College Bestie
Bridesmaid
Caitlin Tesoriero Toni met Caitlin cheering at CUA during her sophomore year and Caitlin's freshman year. They bonded instantly and have been friends ever since. In 2012 Toni went with Caitlin on a trip of a lifetime to Ireland where they explored the breathtaking countryside together. Toni stood alongside Caitlin when she married the love of her life. Although they don't see each other as often as they'd like, Toni and Caitlin remain besties.
Youngsters
Bridesmaid
Jennifer Gast and Renee Gast Toni has been a fixture in Renee and Jennifer's lives since the day they were each born. Lynn, Toni's mom, and Gail (Gee), Renee and Jen's mom, have always been inseparable sisters as have the Toni/Stacie combo and the Renee/Jen combo. This has made for many exciting girls' adventures. Renee and Jen live a few houses up from Toni's childhood home, so nightly visits and popping in to say hello have always been common. Toni has always enjoyed supporting her little cousins in their sports activities: soccer for Renee and basketball for Jen. Toni is honored to have Renee and Jen stand with her as they have always been more like little sisters than little cousins!

"Brother-ish" in law
Groomsman
