Wedding Party
Nicholas and Noelle Motta
Bride and Groom
This is Nicholas and Noelle Funny, smart, outgoing, life of the party, affectionate, romantic, honest... these are some of the words our friends and family members use to describe us. Nicholas and I have been together for 9 years and let’s just say, these years have been filled with nothing but the most memorable and best times I have ever had. Being in a relationship with someone that makes you feel safe, confident and at home is a feeling like no other. The love that we share is something so special its undeniable. I cant wait for what the future holds for us and our family. Nicholas, I love you so much. Caring, smart, crazy, hard worker, great mother, great wife. Noelle and I met 9 years ago on November 8, 2014. When I first saw her, I was crazy for her. She was hot and I had to get her. Noelle and I have had the best 9 years of our lives. She is my rock who is always there for me when I'm always having trouble. I can’t wait to see what we have in store for the rest of our lives I love you Noelle!
Kelsie and Tyler Tancredi
Matron of Honor and Best Man
This is Kelsie and Tyler. Where do I even begin, Kelsie has been apart of my life for 10 years now and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Growing up as a single child, I always wanted the older sister everyone got look up to and have that built in best friend. The minute we met, I knew that she was exactly that. I will forever cherish the relationship that we have and the love and support that Kelsie has brought into my life. She is my go to girl, the sister I never had, my built in best friend, and I wouldn’t and couldn’t do life without her. Kelsie is the most genuine person i know and i am beyond grateful that she came into my life when she did. I wouldn't want anyone else to be my matron of honor. Tyler is my best man for many reasons. When I met Tyler him and I became very close we like the same music and love joking around. Tyler has always been a great friend and is like a brother to me as I can ask him for help, and he will always help me. Tyler is great friend, and I am glad he is standing by my side.
Olivia Johnson
Bridesmaid
This is Olivia Olivia is the brightest, most thoughtful person I know. Growing up together, playing dress up, always sitting next to each other at Sunday dinner at nanas, playing quiddler, the inside jokes, and the many, many sleepovers we had will always be a few of my favorite memories. My favorite thing of all is to watch her blossom into the bright, beautiful lady we all know. I'm so incredibly proud to be her older cousin, she's been part of so many of my best memories. It's only fitting that she'll join me as a bridesmaid on my greatest adventure yet. I love you!
Evan Miller
Groomsman
Evan is Noelle’s little brother. Every weekend, when Noelle and I first started dating, we would go up to New Jersey to visit Evan. We would go golfing, play video games, and take car rides to go bowling and get Dunkin Donuts after. When it was the peak of winter, we all took a ride to go snowboarding and tubing and surprisingly it was a lot of fun. (not me thinking Noelle broke her neck going down the hill though) All jokes aside I'm glad I get to gain Evan as a brother and that he is standing by my side on this special day.
Ashley Santacroce
Bridesmaid
This is Ashley. Ahhhhh my drinking buddy. Whether we are out on the town, having a house party, or making fun of water boy at flag football, Ashley is always down for a good time. I'm happy to have Ashley in my life because not only is she an amazing mom to Jayson and Giavanna, but a wonderful Titi to little Nicky. The things she has taught me along in this new journey of motherhood I will keep with me forever. I am so grateful to not only gain just one, but two Santacroce sisters. #Santacrocefamilypartypart3 coming soon

This is Johnny. Johnny is my brother-in-law. I’ve known Johnny for 18 years and he is a great dad to my niece Giavanna and stepdad to my nephew Jayson. Johnny got me into flag football and I'm glad he did. After our games on Sundays we go back to my grandpas house for Sunday sauce and Sunday night football. He is more of a brother to me than a brother-in-law and I wouldn’t have asked for anyone better to stand up next to me.
Alyssa Santacroce

This is Alyssa. Alyssa is one of the most outgoing people I know. She's willing to do anything for anyone and will be there in a heartbeat. Alyssa is like a little sister to me, always calling me to see if she can borrow my clothes or my shoes and to see if I'm free to pick her up at 2AM from god knows where. At the end of the day, Alyssa is the most free spirited people i know and she will call it like she sees it!! I'm so glad that she is standing by my side on the day we have been talking about forever!

This is Andie. She is the wild one out of all the Santacroces that I know. Andie is always calling me wanting to go out on an adventures, whether its to go out on a drive and scream on the top of our lungs, going to a ranger game an hour before it starts, or just sitting at the marina deciding what we are going to do that day.

Little Nicholas Motta
Ring Bearer
This is our sweet bundle of joy. Nicholas came into our lives a few weeks early and I just have to say he is the best thing that has happened to us! When we found out we were pregnant, we were so filled with joy there were no words to describe it. As the past few months have gone by, watching you grow into this silly, intelligent little boy is one of my favorite things I live for. As Walt Disney once said, “Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever. The real trouble with the world, too many people grow up.” So keep being your goofy self and never grow up! Mommy and Daddy love you so much Nicholas Joseph!!
Jayson and Giavanna
Ring Bearer and Flower Girl
This is Jayson and Giavanna our favorite not so little niece and nephew. Jayson. Spending time with you, 90% is laughter and 10% random questions. There is never dull moment when you have a nephew like Jayson around, especially when he asks the silliest questions in the most serious of times. He has the most contagious laugh, its very hard to not laugh when he is in your presence. Jayson is curious, ambitious, and the most handsome redhead I’ve ever met. Giavanna. the sassiest little girl I know. My niece, my little princess, you totally rule my heart. Your sweet smile and magical ways bring happiness into our lives and joy that stays forever. Giavanna is like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day, nothing will stop her from doing what she loves, especially going out on girl days! The love between aunt and niece knows no distance, (even if its 2 blocks away) and my love for you is infinite. You guys are the best big cousins to little Nicky, and we wouldn't want it any other way. We love you guys so much!!
