Mirella & Ray
Wedding Party
Enza
Matron of Honor
Enza is Mirella's older sister, forever best friend, role model, other half, and only constant in life. There is no one that knows Mirella better than her. She has been there through thick and thin and never left Mirella's side. Growing up Enza and Mirella were your typical sisters, shared a bedroom, fought about everything...literally, and even shared a bed although there was a second bed in the room. Then and even now as adults, she is someone Mirella looks up to and aspires to be. Mirella couldn't imagine life without her big sister and cannot imagine spending the most important day of her life without Enza by her side as Mirella says "I Do."
Dan
Best Man
Dan is Ray's younger brother and best friend all in one. Dan and Ray have been inseparable much of their lives. The two couldn't be more different from each other if they tried, and yet when they're together they act as though they're identical. Being brothers and so close in age they did almost everything together. Sports, school, hanging out, anything you can think of they were always seen with one another. Much did not change as young adults. Clubs, day trips and vacations they were still by one another's side. Ray couldn't imagine life without Dan and cannot imagine spending the most important day of his life without Dan by his side as his Best Man.
Destinie
Bridesmaid
Destinie is not only Mirella's soon to be sister-in-law but her dearest friend. From the moment they met, she welcomed Mirella into the family with open arms and made her feel right at home! From their Blaze pizza nights, to traveling together, to partying at Djais and site seeing in Belmar. Their adventures together and shared laughter have created memories that will last a lifetime. Mirella is extremely grateful to gain another sister in her life and looks forward to having Destinie stand by her side as she marries her big brother.
Rob
Groomsman
Ray met Rob 3 years ago at a BBQ he was hosting at his house. Rob and Ray clicked relatively quickly almost as if they were friends for some time. Rob has always made Ray feel welcomed into the family. From football tailgates, to golf trips, to parties or just helping him navigate his way around a large crazy formal family event, Rob was there. Ray can't wait to have Rob stand by his side on his wedding day.
Dallis
Bridesmaid
Dallis is Mirella's future sister in law. Although marriage will officially make them family, Mirella and Dallis have been building their friendship since the day Mirella was a surprise guest at Dallis' 21st Birthday outing. Let's just say that night was full of drinks, laughter, singing, dancing, and ended with a trip to the bathroom. From traveling, to shopping trips, to pretending it's Dallis' birthday at Djais. All memories that will never be forgotten, Mirella always wished that she had a younger sibling and now she will. Mirella is so excited to have another wonderful sister and although Dallis has already felt like a little sister, Mirella is excited for it to be official.
Joe
Groomsman
Ray has known Joe for over 15 years. It all started when a long haired bmx bike riding kid said "Hey! Cool car!" and the rest was history. Since then Ray and Joe did a lot together. From Staten Island haircut trips, to late night coffee runs, to car meets, to sitting in a parking lot discussing life. Since then, Ray and Joe aka JMUGS became best friends and have shared many laughters together. He is a character guy and one of those guys who’d go the extra mile for one of his friends anytime. Ray is excited to have Joe stand by his side as a groomsmen on his special day.
Maria
Bridesmaid
Maria is not only Mirella's older cousin, but someone that Mirella has considered a second big sister since she was a little girl. Cousins by blood, sister at heart, and friends by choice, a quote Mirella will always hold near and dear to her heart. Maria and Mirella have many special memories and shared laughter together that will last a lifetime. From Lavalette summers to nights at Nonna's house, the list can go on and on. Mirella has been so blessed to grow up along side Maria. Her thoughtfully worded cards every birthday, holiday, or special occasion is always something Mirella looks forward to reading. Maria will be the first one on the dance floor and the last person to leave the dance floor. Mirella cannot wait for Maria to stand by her side on her wedding day!
James
Groomsman
James is Ray’s brother-in-law. James has been around Ray and his family for many years now and has become a part of the family. Ray remembers the day he met James like it was yesterday. Through all the ups and downs, Ray would not have it any other way. Ray was honored to be a part of James’ wedding day and can't wait to have James stand by his side on his special day.
Riana
Bridesmaid
The relationship neither of them saw coming! Let's just say when Riana came into the family Mirella was not a huge fan of her but later that quickly changed. It all started 14 years ago when they went on a family vacation to the Dominican Republic. Mirella lost her luggage and needed a bathing suit to borrow, it was at that moment Riana came to her rescue and let her borrow hers knowing she was not fond of her. You can say the rest is history! As each year passed Mirella and Riana got closer and closer and soon became inseparable. Riana has been there for Mirella through it all, thick and thin, ups and downs, laughs and cries. She has seen her at her best and at her absolute worst and yet, she chose to love Mirella through it all. Not only is Riana family, she is also her best friend. Mirella wouldn't trade it in for the world and cannot wait to have Riana stand by her side on the most special day of her life.
Terry
Groomsman
Terry also known as “Jerry” is Ray’s younger cousin. Terry lives in Florida but the distance hasn’t kept them from always staying in touch with one another. Terry has always made it a point to keep family traditions and be there for one another. Without a doubt, Ray knows that if he needed Terry, Terry would be there in a heartbeat. Ray can't imagine spending the most important day of his life without Terry by his side.
Alexia
Bridesmaid
Alexia is not only Mirella's cousin but forever friend. Growing up Mirella and Alexia always had the same group of friends which led to many core memories that will never be forgotten. From hanging out in Hoboken, to watching their favorite soap opera while eating kettle corn popcorn, to house parties. Wherever Alexia was everyone knew that is where you can find Mirella. Now as adults and as Mirella begins this new adventure in her life, you know where you can find Alexia. Mirella is so excited and cannot imagine spending the most important day of her life without Alexia by her side.
Mike
Groomsman
From down the shore trips, back yard parties and tee times, Mike and Ray hit it off since day one. Mike welcomed Ray into the family with open arms. It almost felt like Mike and Ray had known each other for a long time. Ray is excited to have Mike by his side on his wedding day.
Tatiana
Bridesmaid
Family is not always by blood, it is by heart. It all started when Mirella and Tatiana were in their mother's bellies. Their moms knew from the moment they were born they would be forever best friends, partners in crime. Although, Tatiana is not related to Mirella by blood, that never stopped them to referring to each other as cousins. Mirella cannot imagine her life without Tatiana in it. From choreographing and signing "The Boy is Mine" at every birthday party, to Abyss teen nights, to shore getaways, to Myrtle Beach vacations. The list can go on and on! Mirella is so excited for Tatiana to stand by her side as she says "I Do" to the love of her life.
Angelo
Groomsman
Angelo was the first member of Mirella’s family that Ray met. I guess she figured if Ray can hit it off with Angelo then he’d do fine with the rest of the family. Since then, Angelo has extended invites to NYE parties, his babies’ birthdays and get togethers. Since day one, Angelo has made Ray feel at home and welcomed into the family. You can find Angelo on the dancefloor with a drink in his hand. Ray can't wait for Angelo to stand by his side as he marries the love of his life.
Allie
Bridesmaid
The best of both worlds! Allie is Mirella's little cousin and a bestie wrapped into one. Allie has always been like a little sister to Mirella, a younger sibling she has always wanted. From babysitting her to watching her grow into a beautiful, smart young lady to having deep conversations about boys and life. Allie knows that Mirella will always be there for her no matter what. It is only fitting that she'll join Mirella as a bridesmaid on one of her greatest adventures.
Correy
Groomsman
Family parties, down the shore nights out and football games Ray and Correy always hit it off. If Ray needs the inside scoop on anything football or just anything at all, Correy is the guy he’d go to. Correy and Ray bicker back and forth like brothers but most importantly have shared many laughs together. Ray is excited to have Correy stand by his side on his wedding day.
