Kassandra Smykowski

Maid of Honor

Your first best friend in life is your sister, and Joanna got one three years after she was born. Kassandra is the bride's baby sister (or baby seester, as they like to call each other), and the best friend she began asking her parents for once she learned to talk. They have protected each other since Kassy was born and spent countless hours dancing, choreographing synchronized swimming routines, getting into trouble, and belting songs through the hallways of their home. They both love Christmas and truly believe in Hallmark holiday magic. Joanna is so very happy that her parents brought home a baby girl all those years ago and to have her Sister as her Maid of Honor.

Dominick Russo

Best Man

Alessandro met Donny when he moved next door to him on Lincoln Boulevard in Merrick, NY. Both boys were excited to have someone to play with. Donny still remembers the first day he met Alessandro and knew he wanted to be his friend for life. They grew up, playing sports and going through different schools, apartments, and chapters of life together. They have gone to summer camps, bars, and music festivals, always bringing fun, jokes, and the best dance moves to the party. Alessandro and Donny became the brothers they never had to each other, and Alessandro is absolutely stoked to have Donny as his Best Man.
