Catherine & Jason
Wedding Party
Dan Waters
Best Man
Dan is Jason's older cousin, but in actuality, he's been his surrogate big brother since birth. Jason has always looked up to Dan, especially after Dan saved Jason from nearly falling out of a window when Jason was only 3 years old. From Friday nights as kids when their moms would drink Pinot Grigio and order pizza for the kids, to Dan "babysitting" Jason (which was basically just another excuse for a night of pizza and videogames), to being roommates as adults, Jason looks back very fondly on all of his time shared with Dan.
Kim Carter
Maid of Honor
Catherine and Kim met in high school and have been partners in crime ever since. They have had many fun and weird adventures together. Fond memories include getting an in-school suspension together for going to Wendy's during lunch. Whoops!
Jordan Ballerine
Groomsman
Jason first met Jordan playing little league baseball when Jason moved to Riverside in the second grade, but the two really became close in high school after being in the same Spanish class two years in a row. Ever since, they've shared some amazing experiences together, but none stand out more in Jason's memories than the bike rides home they would take together "right into Riverside" after a night hanging out with the whole friend group. Skoo skoo!
Stacey Tabbaa
Bridesmaid
Catherine and Stacey went to St. Mary and Ohio State together. They were roommates at OSU and once hosted an epic birthday party for a cat. It was fantastic.
Pat Lanzhotsky
Groomsman
Pat and Jason first became friends in high school after sharing the same Spanish class with fellow groomsman, Jordan. Pat and Jason have only gotten closer over the years, especially after working together for Jason's Dad at Market House/Fish House Restaurants in Lake Forest for a few years in their early 20s. Jason and Jordan have also since helped recruit Pat into a life of misery that is being a Sox fan, a bond that, among many others, they now share for life.
Abbey Steffens
Bridesmaid
Catherine met Abbey during a study abroad trip to London through Ohio State. When they are together, every thing they touch turns to gold!!
Anthony Scianna
Groomsman
Tony became the first new friend Jason made in junior high, and the two have been best friends ever since that fateful bus ride home from Lorado Taft, sharing a love of music (particularly the Red Hot Chili Peppers!), sports, and writing that have flourished to this day. Jason looks back extremely fondly on his many nights overstaying his welcome at the Scianna home, and is very appreciative to have such a great person as Tony as one of his best friends.
Toni Dove
Bridesmaid
Toni and Catherine have been friends since they were babies, and they grew up together as neighbors. As children, they created the wildly successful company Moo Cow.
Addison Flam-Pignato
Flower Girl
Addison is Jason's niece and the one who first made him "Uncle Jason". Uncle Jason and her new "Aunt Catherine" adore their beautiful niece, and are just amazed at what an incredibly smart young girl she has become.
James Flam-Pignato
Ring Bearer
James is Jason's sweet, handsome little nephew, and the younger brother of the flower girl, Addison. Uncle Jason can't believe how much he already looks like his mom. Jason and Catherine are both so excited to have this little heartbreaker be a part of their big day!
