Wedding Party
Staci Turner
Bride
Luckiest girl in the world that gets to be loved by Nick. My pride and joy are my two boys, Brayden and Taylor. When I am not running up and down cheering on the football team, or helping anyone in need, you may see me traveling around the world exploring new adventures. Meeting Nick was the biggest blessing in disguise and an answer to so many prayers. I can’t want for him to be my husband!
Nick Raposa
Groom
Not good with words about myself but know I am the coolest cat around. Meeting Staci was the best event in my life. Becoming friends before was a way for us to have a solid foundation. I can't wait for her to be wife and to be a role model for Brayden and Taylor.
Molly McConnell
Matron of Honor
Where do I even begin to describe my best friend? Molly is the one who is there for me in all of life’s good times and bad times. She is a friend that I can call at any time of day or night and she would be right there in an instant. She’s my sounding board, my sense of truth and is always having me look at the whole picture, while telling me when I am wrong or have me look through a different lens. She is honest and truthful and I’m so lucky to have her by my side! Molly you mean the world to me! Could not ask for a more loyal friend and a Matron of Honor!
Mike Rispoli
Best Man
Mike is one of my 2 Best Men. We first initially met at orientation for college at Roger Williams University. We ended up being friends from a joint class we were in together. We had a mutual love of cars and even though we live in different states, Mike would be there for me in a minute. I am so honored to have you apart of this special day.
Chrissy Silvati
Maid of Honor
Oh Chrissy, my best friend, my baby sister. I could not be more honored to have you stand with me as I become Nick’s wife. We have been glued at the hip, through life’s ups and downs and I can never say thank you all for all of you have done for me and the boys! You were by my side during the darkest days and will be by my side during the happiest! I love you so much!!
Cory Mederios
Best Man
Cory is my best friend, my cousin. He’s like my brother, or as close as brothers can be. We have been through so much together and have experienced a lot of fun vacations. From being in my life since I was 8, he has been there for me for as long as I can remember. He is my go to for the deepest conversations and I can’t think of anyone else I would rather have as my co-bestman.
Jennifer Heckler
Bridesmaid
Jennifer, the lover of all things fine! ! Jen and Staci have became great friends through the years of raising kids together! From many trips to Cancun, Wee Eagles Everything, both being massive hypochondriac’s…Jen is always there to crack open wine and celebrate with the best champagne! Such a great friend to us and co-UK Moms! Can’t get married without her next us!
Skylar Ellison

The planner, teacher, organizer and the one who loves to make all the memories. You are an amazing, caring and thoughtful friend! Emmy is my down to earth, let’s be real as real can get and she balances me quite well. From Cancun, to Jamaica and Cape Canaveral, we have so many memories made with our families. I couldn’t imagine getting married without you by my side! You are our cheerleader and the one who is there when I need it.

Where do I begin to describe this amazing friend, cause lord knows we go wayyy back!

Joe Paley
Groomsman
Our resident Attorney, AJs Dad and Chrissy’s significant other, Nick met Joe through Staci. Both are pretty simple men, enjoy watching sports, trying to figure out draft kings or partaking in random stuff. You may see them enjoying an Ole Fashion while mounting TV after TV. Jose we are so honored you are apart of our day.
Paige Castle
Bridesmaid
Paige may officially be louder than Staci and we love it! No better times then shouting at the football fields, hanging in the pool or simply having the most random cookout. Staci has known Paige since she was young and they have developed a great friendship! Paige is loyal, likes to have a good time and is always one to celebrate! We are so lucky to have you stand with us on our big day!
