Joanna & Joshua
Wedding Party
Stephanie Vitagliano
Maid of Honor
Steph has been Jo's best friend since 7th grade when they met banging on staplers in their classroom. Whether it was making up their own language in middle school, prank calling their parents, or choreographing dances in their basements, they've always had a blast. They have been laughing through life ever since they were 12 years old and they wouldn't have it any other way. Cheers to Mexi Sanchez.
Billy McHattie
Best Man
Billy is the missing piece of Josh that he was always searching for. From the first moment they sat down together, guitars in hand, they knew that there was something special between them. Deeper than music, their love is the picture of all that is true and pure in this world. He is easily the best of men in this or any other wedding. Cheers to the other ripped jean.
Christina Otto
Matron of Honor
Twelve years ago, Christina and Jo met working as hostesses at Mirabella Café. They had an instant bond and have been inseparable ever since. Kindred spirits who can talk for hours, they often fight sleep trying to stay up chatting away, laughing hysterically, or watching their fav trashy TV (aka Vanderpump). With Christina, Jo finally got the soul sister she always needed. Cheers to the tree.
Jeff Gallagher
Groomsman
Jeff was the first friend that Josh made at WCU. Josh was the first friend that Jeff made at WCU. They locked eyes in the UT welcome BBQ hot dog line. Further moments of note have been hanging lights for women of the trojan variety, Golden Monkey induced shenanigans, and St. Patricks Day regrets of numerous kinds. Because of Jeff, Josh was given an older brother and a New Year's Day date for life. Cheers to Fluffy.
Tony Mottola
Bridesman
Tony was Jo's college roommate and bestie at WCU. They loved performing in shows together, watching movies, hosting 116 parties, and having epic late-night talks. Although their livers may regret it now, they've proved that they have the truest of friendships whether together or apart. Cheers to Will & Grace.
Justin Caiazzo
Groomsman
Justin survived being one of Josh's closest friends at WCU, which was no small feat. Since WCU power hours, Justin and Josh have kept in touch through a series of manly poker games and highly intelligent discussions of musical theatre. Cheers to Leo Bloom.
Katie Yoder
Bridesmaid
Jo is so excited to finally have two sisters! As Josh's older sister Katie is one of the only other humans on earth who knows what it's actually like to deal with Josh. THANK GOD someone else can sympathize. Cheers to the Backstreet Boys.
Steve Volpe
Groomsman
Steve is the greatest pitcher to ever grace The College of New Jersey baseball diamond. How he didn't end up next to Cole Hamels in the starting rotation of the Philadelphia Phillies remains a mystery, but Josh considers himself beyond grateful to Steve for giving him permission to marry his sister. Cheers to the Ace.
Amber Wallace
Bridesmaid
There's never a dull moment with Amber. She was always by Jo's side through high school and they’ve been there for each other in college and beyond. Whether they were rehearsing for the spring musical, driving around the Hill, going to club Wawa, or reminiscing about the night Amber died, they've always been in love. Cheers to muffin FACE and the three musketeers.
Adam Benfer
Groomsman
Adam is Josh's oldest friend on the planet. Even though Josh is a better drummer than Adam, Adam can grow a beard better than any other man on the planet. The handsomest of men, Adam has held the title of "Kindest Norse God" from 1990 to present day. Cheers to Thor.
Caitlin Weaver
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and Jo spent almost every waking moment together in high school. As two peas in a pod, they were sleepover queens and the best customers at Pizza Fresca. They have shared so many amazing moments and special memories over the years. Cheers to that weird goat noise and the three musketeers.
Michael Wagner
Groomsman
Forever the adventurer, Mr. Wagner once hosted an extremely successful summer party that Josh attended, an unsuccessful round of ghost hunting adventures that Josh stayed in the car for, and is the only person living to have lost a finger to the shuttle bus in Ocean City, Maryland and lived to tell the tale because Josh got him life saving napkins from a pizza shop on the boardwalk. Cheers to M Wag.
Olivia Goodwin
Bridesmaid
The OG WCU besties, Liv and Jo met as little baby froshies. Now, they're old-heads and have traded in their André and bay-breezes for a more sophisticated palate. Liv always brings people together and is always up for a good concert. They'll forever be curly-haired green-eyed slores. Cheers to Twinnie.
Sean Vermeire
Groomsman
Sean has a heart of gold, which Josh was fortunate to corrupt mercilessly at WCU. Because of Josh, Sean knows how to properly pour a bottle of beer into a pint glass and how to make a Tanqueray & Tonic the way that it should be made. Because of Sean, Josh got a younger brother that he cherishes every day. Cheers to Sean Valsean.
Neena Boyle
Bridesmaid
Neena is the best thing to happen to Jo (...okay and to Billy). She's a true gem and the sweetest, most supportive friend there is. Also, when the boys finally profess their love for each other and run away together, at least Neena and Jo will always have true crime docs, moscato, and Rita. Cheers to groupies.
Mike Otto
Groomsman
Mike is Josh's life coach, guru, and musical brother. You can search far and wide for a more loyal and stalwart friend, but you'd always end up back at Mike Otto. Because Josh and Mike are fortunate enough that their women folk are in love, they get to look forward to a lifetime of porch sitting, long talks, and music sharing, which is not too shabby of a future to look forward to. Cheers to the Shrub.
Olivia de la Torre-Yoder
Junior Bridesmaid
Although she is the youngest member of the bridal party, Olivia is a certified Ginger Ninja and can totally kick the snot out of any other member of the party. She is also the smartest of the Yoder children and completely owns her Science classes in school. Cheers to our future Marine Biologist/Seamstress.
