Wedding Party

Veronica Borzynski

Bride

Ian Cherico

Groom

Marina Bouquin

Mother of the Bride

From tea parties to wedding planning, how did we get here so fast? Watching you grow into the smart, kind, and slightly stubborn woman you are today has been my greatest joy. I always knew you’d find someone who can handle your sass! I love you more than words (and yes, more than chocolate)! Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and your favorite snacks always being stocked. Now go be fabulous (and maybe let Ian win an argument once in a while)! Love, Moom

Jack Bouquin

Step-Father of the Bride

I’m so glad to have come into your life and watch you go from a young girl who I could barely get a one word answer from to the confident woman who seems to love to share her life successes and challenges with me. My biggest joy has been seeing the transition in you as you and Ian became close. He has put happiness in your eyes and confidence in your step. You’re good for each other and being here to see your love and to see you truly happy is a blessing. Thank you for having me as your extra dad.

Amy Sieracki

Mother of the Groom

Ian's mom has said “I love you” at the end of every phone call for as long as he can remember. It’s basically her signature move. She’s always been steady, supportive, and just a little bit worried — in the way only moms can be. I’ve always known she’s in my corner. She is the go to person when you have "tea" and if you need someone to make sure you have your pants before an important event.

Mark Sieracki

Father of the Groom

If you know Mark, you know there’s usually a sarcastic comment not far behind. He taught Ian how to work hard, not take myself too seriously, and always find humor in the moment. He’s shown Ian what it means to be steady, dependable, and loyal — even if he’d probably roll his eyes at me for saying that. I’m grateful for everything he’s taught me (yes, even the sarcasm).

Jillian Sternberg

Maid of Honor

Our friendship started in a gymnastics class when we were kids, and it’s grown into something I’ll always be thankful for. Seeing her with someone who respects and loves her like Ian does has been really special. I’m excited to stand by her as she starts this next chapter.

Madison Scott

Bridesmaid

From childhood sleepovers to standing beside Veronica on her wedding day — we’ve really done it all. Some of Veronica's favorite memories growing up include late-night talks, too much laughter, and the kind of cousin bond that feels more like sisters. She is so grateful that Maddie has been part of every chapter, and couldn’t imagine this day without Maddie by her side.

Valentina Semeraro

Bridesmaid

Veronica and Ian have such a beautiful love story and I am going to have to bring so many tissues! I am so grateful to be apart of this special day! But I am most excited to tear up the dance floor with the bride and groom, because we all know that’s where they’ll be!!

Alyssa Borzynski

Bridesmaid

I’ve known my sister-in-law since high school, when I started dating her brother. From the very beginning, she’s always felt like more than just family—she’s become a true friend and someone I deeply cherish. Being by her side as a bridesmaid on her wedding day means so much to me, and I’m beyond grateful to celebrate this beautiful moment in her life.

Renee Cherico

Bridesmaid

I’m the groom’s sister in law, and friend of the bride. I’m so excited to be apart of Veronica and Ian’s special day, and I can’t wait to see Petie and Mango in their best dress!

Ryan Zunner

Best Man

Ian and I met in middle school in German class, bonding over some video game called World of Tanks. Have battled it out on the lacrosse field together, been in the highs and lows, and constant creative adventures. Excited to see you tie the knot!

Peter Cherico

Best Man

I'm the brother of the groom (so I don't have a particularly interesting story about how we met, he just appeared one day), and am excited to be a part of his wedding and officially welcome Veronica into the family as my sister (in law).

Nathan “Stutzy” Stutz

Groomsman

Ian and I first met playing hockey and our friendship really blossomed through the years of playing high school lacrosse together. I've been so fortunate to stand with you through the inevitable highs and lows of life and can't wait to celebrate your big day by your side. Alright, I'm already getting sentimental here so I think you probably know who's gonna be crying...have a great day y'all!

Benjamin Borzynski

Groomsman

I’m super excited for my sister and future brother in law!! We first met on one of Ian and Veronica's first few dates and she told us that we would like this one. She wasn't wrong and I'm super excited for your big day!! First round is on me!!! 🍻🥃

Brandon Borzynski

Groomsman

Benny and I have identical stories, of course, but to add my own spice I'll say that I first met Ian when we went out with him and Veronica. For weeks before, I was Veronica's wingman, but screwed up one night and apparently lost my privileges as she asked us to go meet the guy she was seeing that I had no part in setting up for her. Thankfully it was for the better, as I will have a brother in law that feels more like just a brother.

Lana Green

Officiant

I have been a close family friend of the bride’s mother, Marina, since childhood. Our friendship goes back to 1979, when we were just eight and ten years old. Having watched Veronica grow up, I consider it a joy and privilege to now officiate her wedding to Ian. As an ordained minister and lifelong friend of the family, I try to bring warmth, humor, and heart to every ceremony I’ve led and to make celebrations especially meaningful for all who know me and the couple.  My goal is to marry the whole Borzynski family.

Ryleigh, Maddie, and Ava

Something Blue Crew

We are the three littlest members of the wedding party, and we are so excited to be part of this special day! Being chosen as the “Something Blue Crew” is a big honor, and we can’t wait to cheer on the bride and groom, dance, and help make the day extra joyful. Aunt V has always made us feel so special and it’s time to return the favor! Veronica and Ian are such an amazing couple, and we are so happy to share in their happily ever after.

Petie G Cherico

Best Dog

Hi there! I’m Petie, the Best Dog (and let’s be honest, the real star of this wedding). I’ve been by my humans’ side through thick and thin — and now I get to stand proudly beside them as they say “I do.” My responsibilities include keeping spirits high, looking dapper in my bowtie, and making sure no snacks are left behind. It’s going to be the best day ever — and yes, I plan to steal the spotlight just a little.

Mango Bouquin

Ring Bearer

Hey everyone! I’m Mango, and I’ve got one very important mission: delivering the rings safely down the aisle (and resisting the urge to chase after Petie while I do it). I’ve been training hard for my big moment, fueled by treats and tail wags. I can’t wait to celebrate with all my favorite humans — and maybe sneak a few extra pets once my job is done. This wedding is going to be pawsitively perfect!
