Wedding Party

Jamie Valentino

Maid of Honor

Jamie and I have been best friends for over 30 years - crazy to think that a friendship that started in kindergarten has become a vital part of my life decades later! We quote Friends lines in almost every conversation and crack ourselves up, and it's our love for Friends, wine, books, and travel that have kept us tethered together for the better part of our lives. We have traveled to countless countries together and have shared so many awesome experiences, including sitting in Devil's Pool at the top of Victoria Falls. She knows me better than anyone and my wedding definitely wouldn't be complete without her standing up there next to me on my big day!

Steve Betterton

Best Man

What can I say? The man, the myth, the legend. He is hands down the best guy I know and I'm so grateful he's been my best friend for almost 20 years. Steve motivates me professionally and personally and I value all the great talks we've had throughout the years. It's cliché but he's the guy who will absolutely drop everything to be there for me whenever I need help and I would do the same for him. We've shared many great times over the years and watched our kids grow up together, and now I look forward to the next chapter of Barbi and I making new memories with Steve and Kelly.

Jennie Gibbs

Bridesmaid

Jennie is my little sister and the wild one in the family. Always the daredevil (her license plate says "U WON'T"), she has kept me on my toes throughout the years and some of my best memories include her. She and I used to go to Jambo every summer (a 4-day country concert in Ohio) and more recently we went on an African safari together with Jamie, as Jennie also has a huge passion for traveling (she was a traveling nurse for over 5 years). She can always make me laugh and will be the sister with all the crazy dance moves at the wedding!

John Reidy

Groomsman

John and I have been friends for over 15 years and words can’t describe how lucky I feel to be able to work with one of my closest friends. John can always be counted on to cut jokes and keep the banter lively but John is also an extremely loyal friend and has shown that to me countless times. He is the guy you could call for a favor in the middle of the night, and he'd be there no questions asked. He and Rose are always so inviting, opening up their home to us, and I'm thankful for the countless memories John and I have shared together, like our unforgettable trip to Ireland with the $80 naps. Just ask him about that! ;)

Becky Hill

Bridesmaid

Becky and I are the middle sisters and the closest in age. We shared a bedroom and growing up, we did a lot together through 4-H and we even attended college together (along with 2 of our cousins. As Vinny likes to say "Cornell will take anyone!"). Becky is always there for me when I need someone to chat with or vent to because she's a great listener and fiercely loyal. She has a huge heart, along with a fantastic memory - she's the one we all go to if we ever need a date or info verified!

Craig Wallace

Groomsman

Craig and I have a friendship that goes back over 25 years and our friendship extends to his wife Leah and his kids as well, as we’ve shared many personal and professional milestones throughout the years. Craig’s father, Herb, was a very influential man in not only my life but several of my groomsmen as well and was instrumental in forming many of the strong bonds we have today.

Kathy Curé

Bridesmaid

Kathy is my oldest sister and the one I've always looked up to. She taught me how to ride my bike and write my name and has always been there for me when I've needed someone to lean on. I know I can go to her with anything and she'll be supportive and real with me. We look and sound alike and have even confused our mom on the phone! Kathy is my partner when it comes to building a nice fire, drinking wine and singing/dancing along with music around the firepit. (ie, belting out songs like it's karaoke!)

Jim Crinieri

Groomsman

Jim has been one of my closest confidantes throughout the last 15 years. The value he places on his family and how important Danielle and the kids are in his life is the cornerstone of who Jim is, and it is always at the center of the conversations we share. I'm very grateful to have him as my go-to person for deep talks about managing the stresses of fatherhood; he always manages to keep me centered and helps me refocus on what really matters.
