Steve and Michelle would like to extend their gratitude to each and every individual in their wedding party. You’re the closest ones in our lives, and having you as a part of our wedding is an honour.
Without further ado, we present the wedding party

All I have to say is, this is the best man. Ladies and gentleman, I welcome you to one of the kindest, warm-hearted, best personality in an individual — an absolute pleasure to ever be around. I still think he’s adopted as he shows zero signs of any negative family genes. Words cannot express how happy we are to have you as the best man, Danny!
This is the lucky individual who gets to walk the beautiful bride down the aisle. Ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful Iggy! You can tell after one conversation that Iggy has a one in a million soul — and if that doesn’t blow you away, his gourmet cooking definitely will. Iggy, you’re our brother and we couldn’t have asked for anyone different to walk Michelle down the aisle!
The beautiful Anna is the maid of honor and the life of the party. I hope you’re all ready to keep up with this one when we’re ready to go out and party! Anna is exceptionally bright and a true friend, better yet she’s our sister who’s shoulder you can lean on. We’re so excited to have her as the maid of honor at our wedding!
Fortunately this forum is PG-rated. When I think of Mike, I immediately think of the best memories of my entire life. A best friend since the third grade, I can write a biography on this guy if I had to. Seriously A-man, we have too many stories to ever fit into a little blurb. We’ll save those for the wedding. I hope Jen forces you to move to PA so our kids can grow up together. We love you like family, A-man.
Karina and I are essentially family. Our fathers caused mischief as teens together and eventually we were lucky enough to be raised together. We grew up together and we’ll grow old together! An amazing individual with a heart of pristine gold — not to mention she has aspirations for that Miami penthouse and we love her for that! We’re so happy to have you by our side on our special day!
3 month sleepovers as kids, best friends as adults. This man is responsible for me expanding my search to Philadelphia on JDate, hence finding my bride to be! Techically Marcel is my cousin, but that’s a bunch of bologne to me — because to me he’ll always be my brother. He’s the only other man who I’m privileged to say can contest my wisdom on Superman. We love you Macya, you’re the best bro!
Michelle & Michelle — We make a crazy duo. We have been through so much in the short time we’ve known each other, even though 7 years of school together does seem like a lifetime… But it has been wonderful, an adventure I know we’ll never forget (oh, Ricardo). Med school wouldn’t be the same without you and neither would our wedding day!
The infamous Twins. These are the guys who got all the girls when we grew up. They were also the guys who protected me from bullies since the third grade. Their mother was a second mother to me and raised me. Filippo and Amedeo (from left to right in the photo) are my brothers and my best friends. We have been crew since the third grade and will be for life. Love you guys to death!
Vicka and I have had some of the greatest times of our lives. She was a friend when I needed her the most and I’m thrilled she’ll be a part of our wedding and I cannot wait to be a part of yours! From wearing curtains as covers (even though the cops didn’t mind!) to all the partying in Cancun until 7am, it’s amazing we’re both getting married now! Love you Vicka!
Jay, or we like to stylishly refer to by his alias “Pinky”, is hands down the kindest and most loyal friend. Since the sixth grade, he has proven that he can keep an entire group entertained with little to zero effort. From belly flops off of 50ft cliffs to mistaking a bidet for a toilet — you’re a best friend, and I’ll value your friendship forever. Here’s to our third Cancun trip together!
I remember being a little girl watching you put on your makeup and go out with your girlfriends. The best part would be waiting up late for you to get home to tell me all the juicy details. But no matter how young I was, it was never like you were just my cousin. We have always been close friends. As a little girl, I watched you grow into a beautiful woman and hoped to one day find myself there as well. Luckily, I had you to guide me along the way! We love you!
The absolutely stunning Honey! From being tormented by friends in highschool by guys who wanted a shot at dating you, to the memories as kids of you chasing me for a kiss and me running away crying. You’re one of the most important people in my life and I know you’re someone I can always count on. I can’t believe what kind of warm and caring mother you’ve turned out to be. You’ll always be my cuz, and now you’ve gained Michelle as a sister. We love you to death and I can’t wait for Sasha and your soon to be girl to grow up with our kids.
Check out this stud ladies! He could be off of the market before you know it, so step up! From being protected as a boy by Michelle when bullies picked on you, to now being a grown man and a protector yourself. You’ve grown up to be an amazing man with an irresistible personality. We’re glad to have become so close with you and look forward to partying it up together in the near future!
Isn’t she lovely? Wow, we certainly have exceptionally attractive females in our family. Nicole is brilliant and has an arsenal of talents including photography and arts. She used to be my little cousin, but our age difference now no longer marks a difference. I’ll still kick any guys ass who messes with her though. Nicole we love you, even if you have some religious side effects!
I couldn’t have asked for a better man to be married to my cousin. I’ve been in spas bottom-less with this guy and I’m thrilled he’s walking down our aisle. (Please come clothed, Zuriel!) Zuriel is a brilliant individual and one of the most caring fathers, and we’re excited to continue growing our bond together. The only thing I’ll ever resent you for is having more hair than me. We love you Z!
The beautiful, brilliant Nina! Nina is without any doubt the kindest soul alive. I’ve watched her grow up from a baby girl to a beautiful woman. This is going to be our second vacation together in less than a year and we couldn’t be happier to have you with us. Finally we’ll see Nina not studying! Don’t worry Ninachka, you will be employing a lot of people one day with your hard work and persistence. My little cuz, we both love you dearly.
Why is Nick aliased as Dirk Diggler? We’ll leave that as an exercise for you. Nick, you’ve been a best friend since the third grade. Whenever I was feeling depressed or down, especially when I had low self-esteem with women, you were the one friend who would list 10 compliments within a heart beat to bring me back up. I’ll never forget that about you. I only wish that you find someone as wonderful as I have because you my friend, deserve it no less than I. I was speechless when you said you’d join my wedding party and I’m looking forward to our second trip to Cancun together. Love you numsey! (don’t ask me what numsey means people, I seriously don’t know. It’s just a thing Nick and I have always shared.)
Oh my god, he’s so irresistible. This is going to be the guy who steals all the ladies in a few years. Paulik is almost at the point where he’ll be able to read his own blurb on our page! This one will be a celebrity at the wedding! Paulik will be joining the ring boy crew for the wedding.
Sasha definitely cannot read his own blurb yet. What he can do is steal an entire crowd’s breath with his commercial grade smile. Inherited looks from his beautiful mother and father, Sasha is one of those kids who falls down in his crib — and when you expect him to begin crying, he’ll start hysterically laughing. Sasha will be joining the ring boy crew as well!
Last, but I can assure you, definitely not the least. David is always stealing my love Michelle away from me with his unparalleled wit and stunning charm. His smile will warm your heart. David is our cuzzy and he will be the bodyguard for the younger ring boys as our favorite young generation walks down the aisle. We love you so much David!
Our ominous venture for the quintessential flower girl has become not so… ominous! At last, thanks to the wonderful genes of my friends the Sanabria’s, we have the breath-taking Kika! Our hearts were filled with scintillating fireworks when Allen and Caridad offered their daughter to walk down the aisle on our special day. We cannot wait to welcome the Sanabria’s and their daughter come this January in sunny Cancun.
