Wendy & Nicholas Saverio
Wedding Entourage
Stephen Pasqua
Best Man
Brother of the Groom We share a lot of the same interests such as a love for delicious food, Disney, and frustrating sports teams. Additionally, we've made some great memories together when he visited me in Barcelona, Penn State and beyond, always ensuring that we get to see a home team game. Because of our 5 year age difference, we missed each other throughout most of grade school, but still came out the other side with a lot of similarities. We always have a great time together, with loud laughter and conversation - inevitably asking what's for dinner tomorrow, right after mopping up some desert. Also, a cold coke is the best drink to go along with Chinese food and Kraft mac and cheese. You are welcome.
Vicky Ouyang
Maid of Honor
Sister of the Bride "We are always asked if we’re twins. Shocked, we say no as we don’t look alike. In hindsight, we definitely could be with our expressions, mannerisms, and energy. However that wasn’t apparent until later because growing up, Wendy didn’t like me much even though I was super cool. Her loss… but eventually we started bonding when I was in high school. Despite our age gap, we now laugh at the same things, make the same noises, have similar movements, eat the same snacks, have similar ideas, and keep the Snapstreak alive (I have to remind her) displaying the true representation of sisterhood – maybe we are twins. She always has my back and I always have hers. And so, I am beyond honored and excited to stand at her side and celebrate her and Nick." -Vicky
Ryan Gaffney
Groomsman
Cousin of the Groom Ryman is the closest in age to me than anybody else in my family. When it came down to it, it was me and him against my brother in living room WWF battles. I don't think we ever notched a W and we took way more hits than we gave - our signature was the classic tag team move "ouch I'm hurt, let's get Stephen in trouble". Throughout the years, we've been able to spend a lot of time together at places like Penn State, Ocean City, North Carolina and Florida, in addition to major holidays together as family. Ryman is always there with a smile and a story, and I don't think Wendy and I would rather spend 8 hours out on a North Carolina lake looking for catfish with anyone else.
Genieve Vega
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride "I’m so happy that I’ve met the sister I’ve always wanted ❤️ Wendy brings me so much joy and even a BFF for my dog! I’m honored that I get to stand by her side on her special day!! Eee! *insert wiggle dance move here*" - G
Daniel Toneatto
Groomsman
Longtime friend of the Groom The Tres Amigos were inseparable through grade school and I couldn't talk about Dan without a shoutout to our great friend Chris Riordan. We three spent almost every minute together playing Halo and eating A No. 1 pizza at Sicard. We all were such good friends, basically family, that Dan's fiancee Katie met my parents 3 times before I even met her. We've stayed close by spending time together at the beach and visiting each other in our new homes - in addition to continuing to play video games and now Dungeons & Dragons together. Amazingly, Dan and Katie were there when I met Wendy in Ocean City, MD on July 5th, 2014 and therefore have a very special place in Nickendy's story.
Lily Fan
Bridesmaid
Childhood friend of the Bride "Family is not defined by blood, it’s the ones that stand by you and provide support even when you’re miles apart. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder and I’m so glad we can always pick up where we left off. We always have such a great time, create special memories and at times cause a little trouble. I’ll never forget in our younger days, our parents weren’t too fond of our behaviors. We’d always find a way to sneak out just to spend a little more time together. Well, it’s because of all the laughs and troubles that helped us grow together and have a special friendship. I love you and I am so honored to be able to stand by your side on your special day." - Lily
Gregory "Downtown" Brown
Groomsman
Longtime friend and roommate of the Groom (and Bride) Gregory Brown, better known as Downtown Greggy Brown, has been our roommate for almost the entire time Wendy and I have been in North Carolina. Greg and I both started our careers at Cisco and decided it best to move in together as we knew each other from Penn State (barely, even though we were in the same major and year). We've played a ton of rounds of golf then became the Cider Boyz, sunk hundreds of hours into board games (and bought ones we never even played), and had some very late nights cracking cold brews and loud music. When we're together, we'll probably be the loudest two people in the room... sorry about that.
