Samantha & Stephen
Our Wedding Party
Lisa
Maid of Honor
Lisa and I met at a New York Rangers game but bonded over our love for dino chicken nuggets and mac and cheese over the summer of 2014 and have been best friends since then. Lisa works as a nurse so we don't get to see each other too often but I love being around her. She is without a doubt one of the funniest people that I know. She even dressed up in a full costume last year for my birthday, which is in June, just because I asked her to. I'm so lucky to have someone like her to share this day with me!
Danielle
Bridesmaid
I like to think of Danielle as the Paulie Cicero of my friends. Everyone respects her, she's calm, reliable, and would do anything to help out the people she's closest to. We met at a New York Rangers game and have been best friends for about seven years now. Almost all of my bad drinking stories start with "Well I was out with Danielle,..." but I wouldn't pick anyone else to be my going-out buddy.
Mia
Bridesmaid
Mia (aka Charlie) is my sister. I always felt like she was one of the very few people that truly understood me. We could make jokes out of literally anything. Most of our time together was spent watching horror movies and serial killer documentaries with the occasional Impractical Jokers episode. If I'm craving Taco Bell or Dunkin at 3am, Mia is the one I'm calling to go get it with me.
Jessica
Bridesmaid
Jessie is my cousin. Growing up she would always sit at the grown up's table while I was at the kid's table but once she gave me the chance she realized I was pretty cool. Whenever I would sleepover she'd always be the one in the kitchen making me food. She even introduced me to Ramen, which I quickly fell in love with. I've never met somebody as selfless as her. I loved being there with her to help her get ready for her prom and I'm so excited to have her next to me as I get ready for my wedding day!
Bryan
Best Man
Bryan is my brother. He's the reason I fell in love with baseball and the New York Mets. I always look forward to going to games with him! We've had some pretty intense games of ping pong, although he'd always beat me. He's the biggest Beatles fan I know and even met Ringo Starr once! One of my favorite memories with him is when we went into the city together for the 2013 MLB All Star game, which is where I was able to meet Stephen A. Smith. I'm proud to have him as a brother and to have him with me on such a big day.
Mike
Best Man
Mike is my brother. One of my favorite memories when I was growing up with Mike is when we would listen to "Where It's At" by Beck and I would always go crazy (go stupid) to the line "I got two turntables and a microphone". His block's block party has always been something I looked forward to attending. Talking sports with Mike is always fun even though he likes the Giants (ew). I'm proud to have him as a brother as well as having him next to me on my special day.
Chris
Groomsman
Chris is my future brother in law. He's the biggest Flyers fan that I know so we like to team up and make fun of the Rangers. It was fun to be able to go out with him to celebrate his 21st birthday, which ironically was the same place I went to order my first drink when I turned 21. Living with him is fun although I have to live in constant fear of getting karate chopped by him, which he has threatened me with. He's the Pop to my Smoke and I'm so excited to have another brother in my life.
Michael
Groomsman
Michael is one of the most genuine and kind hearted people out there and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed. I’m so glad we’ve gotten so close. We’ve had so many fun times, like when we went all the way to Six Flags just to ride kiddie rides and meeting the man, the myth, the legend PATTY BOIIII. One of our favorite things to do is watch old WWE/WWF matches, it makes me feel like like a kid again! He’s also one half of the amazing Nisto Bros Podcast, so check them out! If you have any questions about pro wrestling, hockey, or food then Michael is your guy! I'm so excited to have him by my side as one of my Groomsmen.
