Zachary & Juliana
Wedding Party
Patrick LaDouce
Best Man
Pat is Zach's brother and Best Man. I grew up beating him in whiffle ball and pool basketball, but I finally knew he was growing up when he had my number in ping pong. Although we now live hours apart from each other, we pick up right where we left off every time we reunite. Please bring two tissues to our wedding, one for you and one for Pat because he will need all he can get.
Mary Riordan
Maid of Honor
Mary is Juliana's sister and Maid of Honor (by default, but also well deserved). The two are extremely different but exactly the same. Even though she was once the pesty little sister who had to hang out with Zach and Jul constantly (since she was 10 years old when they started dating), Mary has been a very important part of our wedding planning and we are so thankful for her!
Matt "Chubs" Colella
Groomsman
"Matt" and Zach met in first grade and have been best friends ever since. We spent countless hours at each other's houses growing up playing sports and video games. Since we both couldn't give it up, he now has his own room at our house so we can continue as adults. I'm not sure how he will be able to buy girls drinks at our open bar, but I'm sure he will find a way.
MaryAlice Spin
Bridesmaid
MaryAlice and Juliana have been best friends since their parents bought houses 4 doors down from each other when the two were in Kindergarten. Together the Riordan and Spin sisters grew up as siblings and remain super close. MaryAlice is the reason Juliana and Zach met, and although she wasn't happy the two started dating at the time, she is thrilled to be a part of our wedding day!
Nicky Fiermonte
Groomsman
Nicky and Zach have been great friends since they were part of the dynamic duo in little league. Like all good friends, our friendship was put to the test when we took his parents' car for a spin at age 14 and ran into his neighbor's mailbox. And also again when he prank called my mom saying I was suspended from school. But after all that we are still great friends and I'm happy he is part of my wedding.
Kaitlyn Turkett
Bridesmaid
Kait is Juliana's "best friend of life", soul sister, and spontaneous travel partner. When Kait transferred to Owasco Elementary School in 5th grade, she and Juliana already knew each other from CYO basketball/cheerleading, and grew into one of Juliana's most valued friendships.
Matt Moore
Groomsman
Matt and Zach grew up playing sports together like many of the other groomsmen. Once we went off to college Matt was always the one visiting and always brought good vibes to a new group. He may seem a little quiet but you know what they say about the quiet ones.
Taylor Flurschutz
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Juliana were each other's first friends, since their moms are also close friends. Taylor is the comedic relief, entertainment, and life of any party, but also an amazing friend to both Jul and Zach.
Nicco Lupo
Groomsman
Nicco will claim that he called our relationship before it started. He is one of the few friends that will consistently call me to check in (even if he is drunk in an Uber and doesn't remember calling me the next day).
Emmalee Langtry
Bridesmaid
Emmalee is the only person in this group lucky enough to have lived with both Juliana and Zach. Emmalee and Zach actually planned on getting married back in 2nd grade, so we're thankful she still agreed to be a part of this day even though she's not the bride.
Nick Gentilcore
Groomsman
Nick and Zach became friends in 5th grade, and I mainly wanted to hang out with him to play his video games (Gears of War). Now, even though he is on the wrong side of all of our sports team's rivalries, we still discuss sports daily and who we think will make us some money. Nick will be bringing the energy on July 9th, even if needs a nap mid-reception.
Emily Modelevsky
Bridesmaid
Emily was Juliana's roommate when they studied abroad together in Florence, Italy and have been travel buddies and best friends ever since. She is also the only one in the bridal party to have witnessed (and help plan) the proposal! Emily is truly a constant voice of reason for both Jul and Zach and we couldn't imagine our wedding day, or lives, without her.
Matt Tehan
Groomsman
Matt has been a great friend since high school and became an even better friend when he joined Zach at Binghamton for college. We got ourselves into some truly crazy situations, many that revolved around minor league sports. You can find us bickering daily about the Yankees and Red Sox, and me pretending to root for Notre Dame (Sorry Malandruccolo family).
Brianna Adams
Bridesmaid
Bri is Juliana's roommate from college! Bri often accompanied Juliana on the trip down to Binghamton to visit Zach, and was always the first call for a spontaneous activity (and Bri would almost always agree). Jul taught this Jersey girl how to pump gas, and in return Bri taught Jul and Zach about Wawa.
Ian Lieberman
Groomsman
Ian and I got assigned neighboring rooms freshman year of college and have been great friends ever since move in day. We both have similar paths in life, moving from Binghamton to Buffalo, all while preaching good oral health. Throughout the years, I cannot decide if our best memories were sending countless hours in the library or spending countless hours playing clash of clans.
Alexis DeGennaro
Bridesmaid
Lex and Jul had the privilege of being classmates at both Syracuse University and University at Buffalo together, and spent the majority of graduate school as roommates. Even though the two spent the majority of their friendship being miserable while studying together, they agreed to go to the same graduate school and became a huge reason why Buffalo is home to Jul and Zach today!
Kyle Declerck
Groomsman
Kyle is my former roommate turned neighbor, turned golfing partner. He has also followed the trend of making it from Binghamton to Buffalo. If you end up sick with COVID and need groceries delivered, or need your plants watered while you are on vacation, call Kyle.
Megan Nowacki
Bridesmaid
Megan is one of Juliana's best friends from Audiology school. She took Zach in when he first moved to Buffalo, which nearly made her a groomswoman. When together, many margaritas are consumed. Megan is an incredibly loyal friend and we love her (and her dog!) immensely.
Mike Riordan
Groomsman
Mike is Jul's brother. He has finally graduated from the annoying teenager stage and is enjoyable to be around. He probably thinks he will beat us on the golf course during the bachelor party, but we will see about that. (Updates to follow)
Emma Blodgett
Bridesmaid
Emma and Juliana have spent nearly every holiday as the "outlaws" at the LaDouce family functions. Together they are thankful that Zach and Pat chose girlfriends who got along so well and ended up like sisters.
Camila Anderson
Flower Girl
Camila is Juliana's niece who will steal the show on 7/9/2022. When she's not at swim class, you can find her watching Blippi or Cocomelon.
