Christo
Best Man
Christo and Kyle’s friendship started on the soccer field at the age of 6 (Let's Go Wild Ponies!). Since then Christo has been Kyle’s right hand man, so it was fitting to have Christo be his best man.
Christine
Matron of Honor
Christine is Gina’s older sister and life long best friend. They have been inseparable ever since they were little. Fun fact: Gina slept alongside her until Christine was 18 years old and left for college. Now, Gina and Kyle live in her basement. She just can’t get rid of her kid sister. If you think you are seeing double it's not because of alcohol. Gina and Christine are constantly being mistaken for one another.
Hazel
Flower Girl
She may be little but she has a big personality. Hazel is Kyle’s younger cousin. She is going to look so adorable as she walks hand in hand down the isle with our ring bearer!
Luca
Ringbearer
Keep your eyes peeled open for the cutest ringbearer walking down the isle before the bride does. Luca who is so excited to be in charge of the rings is Gina and Kyle’s nephew. The bond the bride and groom have with Luca is a very special one especially since they have been living under the same roof as Luca since he was a year and a half. He will for sure be breaking it down on the dance floor with his Aunt Gigi but if for whatever reason you cannot find him make sure you check the ice cream sundae bar first. He got his love for ice cream from his auntie.
Steven
Groomsman
Kyle and Steve met in Elementary school, but their friendship really took off in high school. From high school parties, to the annual music festival, Steve is the type of friend who always has Kyle’s back regardless of the situation. You may even get to witness Steve playing a solo on the drums (there may or may not be drums at the wedding. No spoilers).
Briana
Bridesmaid
Briana and Gina met in elementary school but it was not until Freshmen year of High School that they became best friends. From countless sleepovers, to attending college classes together at Nassau Community College and planning weddings within the same year, Briana and Gina have a very special friendship – one that Gina is forever grateful for and cannot picture her life without. There is no way Gina wouldn’t have Briana standing next to her as she marries someone Briana finally approves of.
Derek
Groomsman
Derek is Kyle’s older brother and his go-to guy to help him with basically anything. From Kyle learning his taste in music to Derek letting Kyle hang out with him and his friends, Kyle most definitely would not be the man he is today if it wasn’t for the influences Derek had on him growing up.
Roseann
Bridesmaid
Roseann is Gina’s oldest sister. Gina and Roseann have an unbreakable bond and whenever Gina needs a good laugh she is sure to count on Roseann. Rose and Gina have an almost 10 year age gap but growing up that never mattered. Roseann was known to be Gina’s personal chauffeur. They spent many nights driving around town and ordering in late night Domino's. Anyone who knows Roseann knows that she is the life of any party and if you can’t find her the night of wedding make sure you check the dance floor first.
Jared
Groomsman
Jared is Kyle’s younger brother. They have always had a close bond and since Kyle has moved out of his parents' house, they spend every night playing video games together. There was no question about whether or not Jared would stand next to Kyle as he marries the love of his life.
Jessica
Bridesmaid
Jessica is Gina’s pseudo cousin. Their moms met over 35 years ago and became best friends. Both Gina and Jessica spent many summers camping, attending Broadway shows, and religion class together. Jessica and Gina have been friends for the last 28 years. Gina could not picture herself marrying the love of her life without Jessica standing alongside her.
James
Groomsman
James and Kyle met through mutual friends in the eleventh grade. Since then, James has become one of Kyle’s best friends. Both Gina and Kyle can always count on James for being down to have a good time on the weekends.
Stephanie
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Gina met back in 2012 at Stony Brook University’s orientation. The afternoon after orientation Gina went running home to her mother and said “I think I made my very first friend at college.” This is a friendship that has led them to working alongside one another in private practice. Whenever they are together you can be sure to find them pounding back shots of tequila at the bar. Social workers need to let loose every once in awhile.
Joey
Groomsman
Joey and Kyle’s friendship has really grown throughout the last couple of years. Joey is the type of friend that is always down for a good time. He is the life of the party. If you cannot find Joey at the wedding make sure you check the DJ area first; he is probably putting in requests for songs.
Samantha
Bridesmaid
Samantha and Gina’s friendship began 9 years ago while attending Stony Brook Social Welfare program. Throughout the years Samantha has filled the shoes of being Gina’s therapist. Samantha is always there with a listening ear and some really great advice. Samantha will probably be the one calming down Gina’s nerves the morning of the wedding.
Gregg
Groomsman
Gregg is the type of friend everyone should have. He is down to earth, fun, and easy going. When it was time for Kyle to pick his groomsmen there was no doubt in Kyle’s mind that Gregg would be one of the 8 men standing alongside him. Kyle and Gregg have been friends for over a decade. If you see someone doing back flips on the dance floor that will surely be Gregg.
Heather
Bridesmaid
Heather and Gina became friends 9 years ago while working at Massage Envy. Heather and Gina are like yin and yang. There are extremely different but at the same time extremely similar. They balance one another out in a beautiful way. Gina would be extremely lost in life if it wasn’t for her friendship with Heather. Gina knew early on in their friendship that Heather would be a life long best friend and feels honored to have Heather stand alongside her while she marries Kyle.
Justin
Groomsman
Justin is Kyle’s soon to be brother-in-law and the mastermind behind this really awesome website. Since the beginning of Gina and Kyle’s relationship, Justin has always been warm and welcoming to Kyle. He even transformed his basement into an apartment where Kyle and Gina live. Kyle is really looking forward to having a third brother that he can count on to have a great time with and a helping hand when needed.
Alicia
Bridesmaid
Although Gina is Alicia’s third cousin they act more like first cousins. Gina is certain that God made them cousins because their mothers could never handle them as sisters. Gina feels extremely lucky to have an amazing person to not only call a cousin but a great friend and stand alongside her while she marries the man of her dreams.
