Wedding Party
Caroline Hoffer
Maid of Honor
Caroline is not just my little sister, she’s my forever best friend. She’s the calm in my chaos. Though she’s often quiet, her humor shines through in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. Growing up together, Caroline was my teammate, my confidante, and my biggest supporter. Our bond goes far beyond family, it’s a deep friendship built on love, trust, and countless shared memories. I feel incredibly lucky to have her by my side as my Maid of Honor on this special day.
Zach Willey
Best Man
Zach and I are not only brothers but best friends. I have enjoyed being able to grow up with Zach and all the adventures we have had together. From dirtbiking in West Virginia, New Mexico and Moab, Utah to offshore fishing in Virginia, Zach has always been right there with me. I'm excited to be able to have him as my best man to accompany me on my wedding day.
Ali Eakes
Bridesmaid
Ali is my best friend and my other half, so much so that people started calling us Ali². We joined EMS together, diving into crazy, high-pressure situations side-by-side. Ali has seen me at my best and my worst, and through it all, she’s been my steady anchor. She’s the person who always knows how to make me laugh when I’m overwhelmed and how to celebrate even the smallest victories. My family loves her like one of their own, and honestly, I can’t imagine life without her.
Ryan Hill
Groomsman
Ryan and I grew up together in Raleigh and went to the same middle school, we actually met in band class together. During that time we built a friendship that we carried through high school, even through we went to separate schools, and into our adulthood. Growing up together we got into countless adventures riding our bikes all across Raleigh and spending time together at the lake usually with Zach and the rest of the family. I am honored and grateful Ryan is able to be one of my groomsmen to help me join him into the married men club.
Melissa Infosino
Bridesmaid
Melissa has been through the toughest moments of residency with me. She’s the first person I called when I started talking to Dan, and she helped me pick out my outfit for our very first date. Through the long hours, stressful days, and all the challenges of OB/GYN residency, Melissa has been my constant sounding board and source of strength. She listens without judgment, offers advice with kindness, and always knows how to lift me up. I’m incredibly grateful to have her not just as a colleague, but as one of my closest, most trusted friends.
John Petersen
Groomsman
John and I met at NCSU and became friends while we were slugging it through ROTC. We spent many early mornings together working out with the ROTC Detachment, often times after a late night of socializing with friends. During our sophomore year John and I as well as a handful of other friends moved into Carroll Hall Dormitory together. Suite 202 was a lot of fun and forged lifelong friendships. With John living in Germany now, I am extremely excited and thankful for him to be one of my groomsmen and help me enter this new phase of my life.
Mia Carrasco
Bridesmaid
Mia and I survived the awkward years of our twenties and the chaos of medical school together. From late-night study sessions to quarantine life during COVID, she’s been my rock. Whether I needed makeup advice, a reality check, or just a good laugh, Mia always came through. She’s truly one of my ride-or-die friends, and I’m so thankful for her constant support.
Trafton Dinwiddie
Groomsman
Trafton and I go back to the halls of Sanderson High School and the JROTC group at the high school. We grew up fishing and hanging out at falls lake, breaking and fixing our trucks, and traveling around with the JROTC drill team to various drill meets. In my sophomore year Trafton transferred into NC State and joined the 202 gang. We had a blast all through college in the dormitory and in our house on Trailwood Hills Ln where we stayed during our junior and senior years of college. I'm incredibly excited and thankful to reunite everyone and celebrate together.
Brianne Morrow
Bridesmaid
Brianne and I have been through every stage of life together—from college roommates to medical school classmates, and now residents working side-by-side. No matter where life has taken us, we’ve always found our way back to each other. Her infectious positivity and unwavering support have been a constant through all the changes and challenges. Our friendship has truly grown and deepened over time, and I’m beyond excited to have her by my side as we both start this new chapter.
Eric Fogarsi
Groomsman
Eric as well as Trafton and Ty go back to Sanderson High School and the Air Force JROTC program. We had a lot of fun together going on field trips to the Wright Brothers museum and seeing Kitty Hawk NC together. We also spent many days during the summers together at his lake house or at my family's lake house. When I left for college Eric and Ty enlisted into the Marine Corps, but that didn't stop us from getting together any time we could. During that time Eric was stationed at Camp Lejeune, and would frequently drive up to NC State and spend weekends with us. Especially when we were in our junior and senior year of college, Eric practically lived at our college house. Eric is living in Georgia now and I'm thankful and excited to have him be my groomsmen.
Liz Dunn
Bridesmaid
Liz is the ultimate girls’ girl, always ready with a pep talk, a joke, or a much-needed laugh. As fellow OB/GYN residents, we’ve shared the rollercoaster ride of training, and Liz has made it infinitely more fun. She’s the first to cheer me on, and the first to lift me up when I need it. I’m so lucky to have her infectious energy and loyalty in my corner.
Ty Warren
Groomsman
Ty has been a close friend of mine since high school days and JROTC, between Ty, Eric, and Trafton we had a really close group through high school and college. The group is still close to this day and we get together whenever we can. Ty, like Eric also went into the Marines after high school. He was stationed in Hawaii, and he liked it so much he decided to stay and build a life there. I'm so grateful that he is able to make it back to the states and be my Groomsman for the wedding.
