Wedding Party
Jayd Soares
Matron of Honor
Meet my older cousin Jayd, who is more than my cousin, she is my sister! I have always looked up to her for advice and guidance. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know and the greatest laugh (If you are lucky enough to know Jayd, then you know exactly what I am talking about). She has always been someone I can truly rely on! Jayd has had such an impact on my life and our son's life as Joseph's godmother! I would not be the person I am today without having Jayd to look up to and I couldn't be happier to have her as my matron of honor!
Neena Soares
Maid of Honor
Growing up with my younger cousin Neena was always been an adventure. From the choreographed music videos to playing pranks on our moms (sorry, we love you guys!), we have been attached at the hip from the start! I love that you come to me for guidance as you navigate your studies for your career and that I come to you for endless laughs. If you haven't gotten a chance to meet Neena, she is a comedian! Maybe at the wedding she will even tell a few jokes! It is only fitting that my younger cousin, more like my little sister, will stand by my side on my big day!
Holly Ryan
Bridesmaid
Holly and I are fate friends to say the least. We went to school with and became friends with each other's cousins before we became best friends! (my cousin Arianna who is in my bridal party is one of Holly's childhood friends) We met within the first couple weeks of our freshman year at Monmouth and you took me right in, introduced me to your friends and made Monmouth feel like home for me. Holly puts the sun in sunshine! I never met someone so full of positivity and life! Holly knows how to find the silver lining in every situation and those are the type of people you hold onto! I feel so honored that my destined best friend will watch me say "I DO"!
Nicole Natale
Bridesmaid
The life of the party~ Nicole Natale ("Nikki Nat") all the way from Long Island! You will find this girl on the dance floor the night of our wedding! I've never met someone so full of energy who has always stood in my corner cheering me on through all my life events. We met freshman year of college and shortly after Nicole became one of my best friends. So many of my best college memories involve Nicole and I could not be more grateful to have her as one of my best friends. If you are looking for dance lessons the night of the wedding you know where to find her!
Dana Siclare
Bridesmaid
Dana has always been that ride or die friend I can count on! Regardless of the situation or the time of day or night I called her, she has always been there for me. She is also the friend that if you want to travel, call Dana because her bags are already packed! My international tour guide has also toured the Jersey Shore in her day, and if it was not for Dana convincing me to go out with her that one August night back in 2018, Joe and I would have never reconnected. I owe a huge thank you to my Dana girl for taking me out that night and allowing fate to work its magic! She was the first of my friends to ever meet Joe and has been supportive of us from the start. Now I can't wait for you to support us as one of my bridesmaids on our special day.
Arianna Sinisi
Bridesmaid
They say your cousin is your first friend and that no one will ever understand your crazy family quite like your cousin...well they were right! Arianna has been more than a cousin to me. She is my stylist, Joseph's stylist, and our wedding planner, but most of all Arianna has become one of my closest friends. Although I am older, I look to Arianna for advice and she has been my confidant in times of need. Our bond is unique- it is somewhere between the loyalty of a sibling and the supportive understanding of a friend. This wedding could not be possible without the party planning expertise of Arianna so everyone give a shout out to Arianna when you are dancing the night away!
Julia Agresti
Bridesmaid
I can honestly say that I never would of survived PA school without Julia. She held me accountable in countless ways. From waking me up at 5 AM to workout to landing ourselves at a 711 late at night to drink below average coffee to power through study material, Julia was going to make sure we were not only the smartest of our class, but also the most fit. I still cannot look at a smith machine on leg day thanks to my friend Julia (if you are an avid gym rat then you know what I am talking about). Julia was an invaluable part of our journey through PA school and having a supportive friend like her made all of the difference in such a rigorous program. I owe all the thanks to Monmouth University for putting my best friend Julia in my life!
Kayla Villani
Bridesmaid
If you have not met Kayla yet, she is my brother's beautiful girlfriend. Not only does Kayla have the best style in the room, she also has the biggest heart. Kayla has become such an incredible addition to our family and I am overwhelmed with appreciation for the time that she has taken to create a bond with each member of our family, including our son Joseph. Kayla's support, as she is always there for us, her kindness, and her friendship means the world to me. I am truly blessed to have her as not only my brother's girlfriend, but also as a cherished member of our growing family!
Thomas Gyumolcs
Best Man
There’s no one else I can imagine standing next to me as my best man on this big day! Thomas has had my back (whether I was right or wrong) since birth. Through thick and thin I know I can always count on him to be there no matter what. Now a partner at New York Life - if you’re looking for a career change hit him up!
Michael Gyumolcs
Groomsman
Michael is the eldest of the Gyumolcs Brothers and someone we all look up too. He knows a lot about fishing and cars, but he's also the guy who knows how to make you laugh! If you are looking for Michael, he is probably fishing at the nearest beach.
Stavros Gyumolcs
Groomsman
Stavros is the youngest of the Gyumolcs brothers. He is an avid surfer and swimmer. He is also one of the most kindhearted and easy going guys I know (except when you cut him off on the road-don't do that).
Dan Cummings
Groomsman
Meet my brother in law Dan - He has become a brother to me as well. A true example of a model father, an avid surfer, and a 49er fan.
Luke Collucci
Groomsman
Luke has felt like my 4th brother since we met. He is the best brother in law that I could’ve asked for. Luke is also Joseph Jr’s God father- there's no one more perfect for that role.
James Reuter
Groomsman
First acquaintances, then colleagues, then friends, and now someone I consider a brother. James is a natural born leader crushing it at New York Life and making waves in the industry with a top team nationwide. He has been a tremendous influence on my career, teaching, guiding, and supporting me! So thank you James, and also thank you for my new found addiction to watches!
Tom Meer
Groomsman
Tom and I have been friends since 2nd grade. I remember walking to each other's houses when we lived in Colts Neck. Growing up, I spent so much time at Tom's house I’m pretty sure I was considered his parent's 10th child. Tom’s a true go getter and a damn good golfer.
Doug Anderson
Groomsman
Doug and I have been friends since he moved here from Georgia in the 7th grade. Doug has stood in our corner rooting for us since the start. I cannot thank him enough for the support and the friendship over the years!
Joseph Jr
Ring Bearer
Our sweet son, our boy- the one who made us a mother and father. How lucky are we to exchange vows and celebrate the start of our marriage with you. Our lives changed for the best when you entered the world and we simply couldn't imagine saying "I DO" without our little boy to witness how much his mom and dad love each other. You have brought so much love and joy into our lives. You are our world, our why, and the greatest gift we could have ever received. We absolutely love being your mom and dad. Mother and father will always be our favorite titles, but we cannot wait to become husband and wife, and I cannot wait to officially take yours and daddy's last name!
