Victoria & Shane
Wedding Party
Brianna Lietz
Maid of Honor
I met Victoria via Facebook a few months prior to starting freshman year at Rowan. I saw her profile picture was her and Goofy in which I immediately thought “this girl can be my friend.” From then on I have considered Victoria one of my closest friends even from half way across the country. We have had many late night laughs, blister popping (mainly me popping her blisters) and fun nights out. Victoria has always been one my biggest supporters in life. I had the privilege of watching Victoria and Shane’s relationship blossom from the beginning and am soo excited to see what the future has inside for them ❤️
Gavin Hawkes
Flower Girl
Gavin Hawkes, a man of many distinguished achievements. 3rd Grade Spelling Bee Champion. Honor Roll list frequent flier. 10U Soccer participation trophy recipient. Acquaintance of Victoria Ieradi. Shane’s short time worst enemy, long time best friend and provider of immoral support. But most importantly, Best man. Truthfully, I don’t even like Shane that much. I just thought this would be my best shot at planning a bachelor party so here I am. It was also a huge perk to get to hang out with Nick and the other cool kids.
Nicole Longo
Maid of Honor
Victoria and I met freshman year at Rowan but didn't really get to know each other until sophomore year. Then our junior and senior year we were roommates! Between weekly rock climbing trips to the boulder gym and the occasional nights out at the bar, we became close friends fast. Of course the girls-nights-in were much more our speed. What I love most about our friendship is how relaxing it feels, there is no pressure on either side to be anything other than ourselves. We may be a few thousand miles apart, but whenever we get back together it feels like we pick up right where we left off. I am so happy to have been there through highs, lows, and every moment in-between: I am happy to call her one of my best friends!

Best Boy
My mom and dad are getting married, YAY (not that I know the difference)! Bark, Bark! Time to PAWTY.

Bridesmaid
Victoria and I met through our mutual love of swim as kids, especially summer swim. Not only did we have this in common, both of us never stopped joking around so we stuck together and eventually could not be separated (at all). Some of my best memories are from us coaching and questioning how either of us were allowed to do it. Wherever we were, you could hear us laughing before you saw us. My favorite thing to do is laugh and Victoria knows exactly how to do it. I am lucky to know her and cannot be happier for her and Shane! Counting down the days to celebrate!
Teddy Georgis
Honor Attendant
They call me "Big Ted": You can tell with how tall I am with this fish for size reference. Ladies, if you like spending your free time on a boat in the summer, hit me up.
Marybeth Coyne
Bridesmaid
I met Victoria at Rowan through club swimming! Over the years we got close and grew a deep friendship. What I love most is that we can go out and have a good time then come home and be real with what ever life is throwing at us in the moment. I can't wait to stand by her side on the big day!
Dylan Rocco
Honor Attendant
Wait... Shane is not marrying me? I thought "Groomsman" meant I was the GROOM's Man. How did I get tricked into this façade? Anyway, I've been told I am lucky, take that for what you will.
Gina Frazetto
Bridesmaid
One of the most random classes you can meet someone in, let alone find a genuine friendship is apparently an English elective! Victoria and I met in college and developed such a unique bond with the third in our little trio - Jake. We would go on all sorts of day trips and fun outings together. I'm so excited to see Victoria and Shane take this next step in life!
Nick Lopes
Flower Child
Nick Lopes: I’m not the gecko btw… Shane and I grew up together and were always close friends, but not by choice on my end. His parents begged to let him hang with me and the other cool kids. Anyway, I think he looked up to me a lot. Can’t really blame him. I was better looking, way smarter, funnier, definitely more athletic, capable of talking to women. The list really goes on and on… So yea, I’ve basically been his role model since we were about six years old. Don’t know how I got the invite to this thing, but I’m glad he asked me to be the maid of honor. I think I deserve it.

Bridesmaid
Meeting Victoria through Gavin and Shane’s bromance was the best thing I could have asked. Though it hasn’t been long I feel like I’ve known Victoria forever. From Seasick on a cruise to conquering my first ever hike, I have gained a true best friend. Every time we get together, its full of fun, laughs, and a few good stories to take with us. Cheers to the happy couple!
Frank Ieradi
Turtle
Brother of the bride, the family's free-spirit, oldest one in the bridal party (but maybe not the wisest), and always right. I can't believe my little sister is getting married - weren't we just two kids with bedrooms next to each other fighting over who gets the Xbox? Anyway, cheers to the couple!
Ed Wilczynski
Officiant
Ed Wilcynski is not just the officiant and toast master, he is Victoria's "Uncle Ed" and Best Man in her parent's wedding. Ed and Frank served in the Navy together and got into plenty of mischief. Their two families have been through life's challenges and celebrations, and always for the biggest moments. It is truly special to have him serve this position.
