Wedding Party
Chandler
Maid of Honor
Pic: Cudia sisters drinking at Oktoberfest. Austin, TX - October 2020 Chandler is my younger sister, so she has literally been by my side since the beginning! We have shared countless memories and experiences together, including playing soccer all over the country, attending Florida State University (go Noles!), traveling around Scandinavia, and finally, moving to Texas. Both of us play soccer with Sphere Club in our respective cities, which keeps us connected both on and off the field. Chandler lives in Dallas, TX with her adorable cat, Martini.
Lilly
Bridesmaid
Pic: Camel-riding in the desert. Israel - June 2015 Lilly and I went to school together starting in middle school at Bak Middle School of the Arts (and then high school at Dreyfoos School of the Arts) in West Palm Beach, FL, but we didn't become close until Lilly rushed Alpha Phi at FSU in 2011, of which I was already a member. Lilly has always been (and continues to be) one of the most involved and charitable humans, whether it's SGA, SBA, law school council (can you tell she is a badass lawyer?), and probably 10 others. Lilly is a natural-born leader and is the most loyal and loving friend, as well as a Taco Bell connoisseur. Lilly & I took our Birthright trip to Israel together after college graduation in 2015 and we continue to visit each other in our respective states regularly. Lilly lives in Jupiter, FL with her husband, Ryan, and their sweet dog, Keke.
Brittany
Bridesmaid
Pic: Brittany supporting me in my run for FSU Sig Ep Sweetheart. Tallahassee, FL - February 2014 On a hot summer night in September 2011, Brittany became my Little Sister in Alpha Phi at FSU and the rest is history! Brit and I have spent countless nights partying in Tallahassee, studying together in Strozier Library, playing intramural soccer, and gossiping at the sorority house. Brittany is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet, and her smile and laugh are infectious. Brittany lives in Tequesta, FL with her husband, Joey, their newborn daughter, Josie, and their beautiful dog, Nala.
Alyssa
Bridesmaid
Pic: Vacationing in Cali after the Maccabi Games '07. Los Angeles, CA - August 2007 Alyssa is one of my oldest friends - we met at 7/8 years old when we started playing club soccer for the Boca United Thunder and were also neighbors while growing up. We also traveled to Arizona & California to play both soccer and volleyball four summers in a row, where we roomed together with host families for the Maccabi Games. We both attended Florida State University, where we often swapped stories of our previous night out at the Ragans Hall reception desk, where I worked part-time. Alyssa lives in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, with her fiancé, Brandon, and gorgeous cat, Lacey.
Lauren
Bridesmaid
Pic: In our dirndls at Wurstfest. New Braunfels, TX - November 2019 Lauren has been friends with Nick since 2016, when they started working at Indeed in Austin, TX, and was introduced to me in 2018. Since then, our friendship has blossomed through many late nights singing Britney Spears, eating almonds, and petting kitties. Lauren and her husband, John, just so happen to be fellow Floridians who grew up in Panama City Beach. The four of us love traveling together and have been all over the world, from relaxing at the Petros' beautiful beachfront condo in PCB to frolicking through the fall foliage of Portland, Maine, to sailing and jet-skiing around Bora Bora and, finally, to eating sushi in Tokyo, Japan. Lauren lives in Panama City Beach, FL, with her husband, John (a Groomsman), and their two friendly and adorable cats, Tiny and Bitty.
Eavan
Bridesmaid
Pic: Bonetti family night out. Rainey St, Austin - May 2019 Eavan is Nick's younger sister. She is the life of every party and has graciously welcomed me into the family since the beginning. I have joined in on Bonetti family trips such as Yellowstone National Park in Montana/Wyoming, family celebrations in Connecticut, mountain biking in Colorado, and a beach wedding in Port Aransas, where the preferred activities include hiking and then finishing the night off at a karaoke bar. The two of us can be found at any holiday gathering creating an IG-worthy charcuterie board. Eavan played college-level volleyball at Montana State University Billings and loves visiting me & Nick in Texas to attend ACL festivals and comedy shows. Eavan currently lives in Ft. Collins, CO.
Garrett
Best Man
Pic: Me and G Howze fresh off the party barge at Sigma Chi formal. Lake Travis, TX - May 2012 I met Garrett (or G Howze as we call him) during the first month of college in the fall of 2010 at the University of North Texas. Back then, he was a longboarding hooligan sporting a Justin Bieber haircut, and I was a skinny nerd who just wanted to work out and party. We rushed the same fraternity (Sigma Chi) and became fast friends, eventually deciding to become roommates in the frat house. For two years, room 12 in the Sigma Chi house became Club OneTwo, a mecca of lasers, protein shakes, dubstep, and cheap vodka shots. We like to think we did it right. Garrett is one of the most genuinely positive people I’ve ever met who perpetually sees the bright side without trying. He’s carefree while also being responsible and has helped me embrace that side of life, which I’ll always be grateful for. Despite taking different paths, moving to different towns, and even having different hobbies, Garrett and I have remained close friends, always able to pick up where we left off and bro out at a moment’s notice. Love you brother.
Bryce
Groomsman
Pic: Close-up of me and Bryce burning our retinas while taking a group photo facing the sun. McCall, ID - January 2017 Bryce and I both attended Berkner High School in Richardson, TX, from 2006-2010. However, we didn’t really become friends until the end of senior year when we wrote and performed skits in front of the school as part of the “Comedy Troupe.” Though Bryce went to A&M and I went to UNT, we stayed friends through college because of our annual “Breckenrage” ski trips. When he told me in 2015 that he was moving to Austin for a job at Oracle, I implored him to take the open spot in our six-bedroom shitty trash house (with a pool) known colloquially as The Terrace. He reluctantly agreed, and despite having a panic attack upon seeing the deplorable state of the house on move-in day, we enjoyed five years of rooming together in Austin, helping each other through the early years of our post-grad lives in Austin from relationships to careers to horrific bike accidents (have Bryce tell you the story at the wedding). Bryce is probably the funniest guy I’ve ever met - it’s rare that a conversation with him doesn’t result in laughter erupting on both sides. The dude has a strong sense of integrity and a heart of gold. I feel so grateful that the universe kept bringing us together. Love you brother.
Alex
Groomsman
Pic: Me and Wags on a bridge. Copenhagen, Denmark - April 2018 I met Alex (“Wags”) in 2016 when he started working for Indeed. A bunch of us were hanging out quite a bit after work. I would constantly find myself ending up in these deep engaging conversations about life and death, philosophy, the nature of the universe, etc. with this guy named Alex. We vibed well from the get-go and became fast friends and travel buddies, traveling to Oktoberfest in Munich, Copenhagen, and Croatia in the first couple of years. These days, Wags is a newly minted father who is still always down for an adventure, whether it’s trying out a new mountain biking trail, going on a trip to somewhere new, or climbing on the roof of his house with a cocktail. Alex is thoughtful, inquisitive, and the master of asking a good question that shakes up a conversation. He’s a great dude to have around because he’s genuinely altruistic and finds the fun in everything. Love you brother.
Max
Groomsman
Pic: Me and Max playing a show with our band Electric Hunter. Rainey St, Austin - July 2023 I met Max in the spring of 2019 when he transferred from the NYC office to Austin. We had both won a work contest for a trip to Miami, but we weren’t quite good enough to win the one that allows you to bring a date. Within the first few hours of the trip, we lifted together, bonded over prog metal music, then honored our shared Italian-American heritage by crushing shots and fist pumping at a Miami club. The whole thing was very similar to that scene in Step Brothers: “Did we just become best friends?! Yep!” It turns out the guy can also shred on the guitar, so he ended up joining our band Electric Hunter later that year. These days, it’s not uncommon to find us sharing laughs after band practice, going wild at a metal show, or third-wheeling around town with Avalon. I respect Max a lot because he’s so hard-working, disciplined, and principled. He cares a lot about his friends and his loyalty is beyond reproach. Love you brother.
John
Groomsman
Pic: Me and John minutes before his wedding. Panama City Beach, FL - December 2022 I met John in the summer of 2017. His now-wife Lauren was my teammate at work and she knew we were both sick bros who would get along, so she introduced us. The moment I saw him down a Natty Light in under five seconds, I knew we were kindred spirits destined for friendship. You know the old saying: “You can take the man out of Florida, but you can’t take the Florida out of the man.” One thing I love about John is his ability to see the best in everyone. He effortlessly finds the most interesting and noble qualities in others and seeks to learn and embrace them in lieu of passing judgment. He is a sweet, kind soul, yet also fearless - never hesitating to take a risk (doing a backflip off a cliff, starting a business - you name it). Love you brother.
Phil
Groomsman
Pic: Our joint Halloween costume ("Cock and Balls” - nice one, boys) at the first Terrace Halloween party. Austin, TX - October 2014 I moved to Austin in the summer of 2014, not knowing a soul, and determined to find roommates. Naturally, I turned to Craigslist and somehow stumbled upon the two best guys in Austin: Phil and Tommy. I moved into the house, and we immediately burnt it down (keep your turkey fryers away from the sides of your house). After a month of quasi-homelessness, we moved into our next domicile, the venerable residence known as The Terrace, where we lived together for the better part of the last decade. During that time, I observed that he is an absolute competitor on the pool volleyball court and he cooks a mean DiGiorno. Phil is probably the most naturally charismatic person I’ve ever met. He goes above and beyond to really connect with people he meets and approaches the conversations with genuine curiosity, allowing others to feel heard and develop an instant connection. He has also helped me refine my debating through years of observation and practice. Love you brother.
