Wedding Party

Pam Molinaro

Mother of the Bride

Tracilynn Salopek

Mother of the Groom

Dan Molinaro

Father of the Bride

David Salopek

Father of the Groom

Julia Molinaro

Maid of Honor

Julia is the maid of honor and sister of the bride. By day she helped organize the bridal shower and bachelorette party, and by night she never failed to call Allina right as she is about to fall asleep. On the wedding day, you’ll find her standing by Allina’s side and making sure she doesn’t have any food in her teeth or on her face.

Erin Foster

Bridesmaid

Erin and Allina were roommates in college, and quickly bonded over identical music taste and spontaneous coffee runs. Erin knew that the best cure for a hard day was a porch night. If your glass goes missing on the wedding day, don’t say I didn’t warn you ;)

Blaine Fourman

Bridesman

Meet Blaine, Allina's friend from college who is known for his baked goods and being an honorary member of girls nights. After meeting him once or twice, Blaine gifted their friends an $80 gift card to the grocery store, while only asking for a box of scooby snacks in return. You will probably find him over at the cookie table, reliving the days during college where he would crush entire bags of powdered donuts in one sitting.

Micki Frey

Bridesmaid

Allina and Micki’s friendship began when Allina got locked out of her room after a shower and had to borrow Micki’s clothes. After that day, Micki’s floor became Allina’s go to homework procrastination spot. Allina always asked Micki for feedback on her chalk art pieces, so you know she was sent every iteration of the save the date design.

Olivia Gall

Bridesmaid

Allina and Olivia became friends in 9th grade study hall. Ever since starting college, they get together every time Allina has been back in town. The two of them have spent many afternoons planning their wedding days together, and soon they will find each other on the dance floor when Forever by Chris Brown plays, just as they did for every homecoming dance.

Kaitlyn Kurz

Bridesmaid

Kaitlyn and Allina’s friendship before senior year of high school, when Brian formed the elite breakfast club. They were always together every Saturday that year and spent the next few years visiting each other at college and getting together on breaks. Kaitlyn is always down for a good time, but will definitely have the worst hangover tomorrow.

Lauren Patneau

Bridesmaid

They say you can’t pay for your friends, but Allina and Lauren would say otherwise. They were mutually each other’s second choice for big/little pair in alpha chi omega 5 years ago, but wouldn’t have it any other way. Lauren was Allinas teledoc all through college and always lets her crash at her place with little to no warning. On the wedding day, Lauren and Allina will be on the dance floor, hopefully taking it easier than they did at the Order of Omega mixer.

Ariana Pitcher

Bridesmaid

Ari and Allina became friends during their time in Alpha Chi Omega, and their friendship quickly blossomed into a collaborative recipe Pinterest board, Sunday afternoon phone calls, and visits to each other’s new cities. You’ll find Ari holding a glass of dry red wine, and once you do, you should ask her how she feels about Star Wars.

Chloe Salopek

Bridesmaid

Chloe is Nate's sister and Allina's bridesmaid. Between practicing back handsprings on the trampoline, annual cookie baking in Cleveland, and vacationing in Utah, Chloe has always made Allina feel like a part of the family. These are just a few of the cherished memories to come!

Brian Venturella

Best Man

Brian has held a conspicuous place in both the bride and groom's lives for well over a decade. After many holidays at the Venturellas' lake house, countless visits to OSU, and a few adventures in Washington D.C., Nate cannot wait to have Brian by his side on the wedding day, much like he was on the North Hills doubles tennis team. Hopefully he will not ask for "full control" of the music.

Reed Boucher

Groomsman

"Speedy Reedy" has been one of the groom's closest friends since freshman year of college, where he was an instrumental part of the Lobby Rats of Sherman. Reed's antics in the Howe dorm and his bonfires at the Hessler house were an invaluable escape from classwork. Hopefully DJ Speed will make a guest appearance during the reception!

Dillon Clark

Groomsman

You may recognize him as the voice of the Saginaw Spirit, but to the groom, he has been a friend since Ross Elementary. Cupcakes on his windshield? Just another day in Dillon's world, where each of his misadventures turn into cherished anecdotes. Renowned for his impeccable impressions, Dillon will certainly bring laughter to the party.

William Huffmyer

Groomsman

Ever since 6th grade, Will has been friends with both the bride and groom. Both Will and the Nate have come a long way from the cramped corners of Sherman House, where they were roommates in the freshman year of college. Will plans to bring the same energy to the dance floor that he brought to the Sewickley Parade as Santa in Allina's tap dance.

Michael Pedota

Groomsman

Mike has been friends with the groom ever since the first bike ride downtown during Orientation Week from the Sherman dorm. From Orlando, FL to Manchester, TN, Mike and Nate have traveled with the gang all over the country to various music festivals. And to answer your question now: No Mike, we will not play Excision at the reception.

Kyle Swartzbaugh

Groomsman

Kyle, who has been friends with the groom for many years and his teammate in baseball, basketball, cross country, track, and tennis, looks jacked in this picture. Off of the track/field/court, Kyle and Nate spent many evenings over the years traveling to the local Dollar Tree to make various homemade explosives. Now that they are adults, they spend their time together doing more mature things instead, like closing down Shenanigans and drinking "giraffes" at the winery.

Andrew Wudarczyk

Groomsman

Although he has questionable tastes in Chinese restaurants, Andy does not have questionable tastes in friends. His enduring camaraderie with the groom spans numerous years, marked by countless adventures conquering trails on their mountain bikes. Hopefully, Andy will someday be able to teach Nate how to hit a golf ball in the correct direction.

Liam Yocum

Groomsman

Although he is not featured prominently in this picture, Liam has been featured prominently in the groom's life since elementary school. From the snow-capped mountains of Verdansk to the sand-swept fields of Al Mazrah, Liam has been Nathan's (virtual) brother-in-arms for many hours of combat. Hopefully he won't throw craisins at anyone during the reception.
