Without this group of awesome people, we don't know what we would do! We are so appreciative that they have agreed to be part of this special time!

Samuel Fusco
My little brother and best man! Like any older brother would do, my friends and I tortured Sam growing up but we also helped turned him into the man he is today! I can't think of anytime where we actually fought, other than some yelling and pushing around, because we got along pretty well.... most of the time. Sam has always been there for me, no matter what. I know I can always count on him to have my back, good or bad, and even when I may be wrong. He's got a big heart, but only to those that are close to him. Sam values family and friendship more than anyone I know, and I am grateful to have him not only as a brother, but as my best friend. Love you bro! Sam is currently a foreman and works for TJ Diggles, one of my groomsmen you will hear about next! I am so proud to have my brother as my best man and part of our wedding.
Timothy Diggles

Aka TJ, my fullback! I've know him from as long as I can remember playing football together. Our moms have been best friends and now we have become best friends. TJ and his wife Amy, convinced me to move home from Florida and welcomed me into their home. Since then, our friendship has gotten stronger because of it, and I have them to thank for that. We spend basically every other weekend together and still continue to live out our dream playing flag football together in the fall. He is like a brother to me and I couldn't be happier to have him be a part of our wedding. TJ is self employed with his two businesses, Pristine Exteriors and Smoke Rise Auto. 

Louis Pizzi
Aka Louie P, my brother from another mother! I've know Lou since I was five years old. He lived down the street from me and we've gotten in trouble together more times than I can remember. We probably spent everyday together growing up playing video games, singing R&B, playing football, the list goes on and on. I could easily write a novel about the times we've had together over the past 20 years! I love this guy like a brother and couldn't be happier to have him be a part of our wedding. Lou currently lives in North Carolina and is a corrections officer, but we are working on getting him to move back home! 
Anthony Fortunato

Aka Forch! I met Forch in college and it was like meeting another version of myself. We played football together at Wilkes University and he helped me throw some ridiculous parties at 317, aka "The White House." It was easy for us to become such good friends over the years and even as busy as we both are, we still stay in touch and anytime we get together we have a great time. Forch is like an older brother to me and I couldn't be happier to have him be a part of our wedding. Anthony lives in Mine Hill and is now a firefighter at Maplewood NJ Fire Department.

Daniel Stalter
My oldest memory of hanging out with Dan is when we had wrestling matches in his front yard! As we got older, we grew apart throughout high school but as I moved away and came back, and he did the same, it seemed like we became better friends from it. Dan might be one of the nicest guys I know. He's always there when you need a hand, and always down to have a good time. We have spent a lot of great weekends together and couldn't be happier to have him be a part of our wedding. Dan is currently going to law school and will be starting his internship in June. 
Patrick Eckhart

I've known Pat since we were kids. We spent basically every day in the summer at the courts of HL. Went from playing basketball, to football, to our made up whiffleball/baseball game in the tennis courts, and took our breaks by jumping in the lake. We built a dynasty softball team with the Comanches, and now continue to play softball together back home. We used to throw parties in the summer that weren't even in our own house and had some of the best beer pong battles ever. I've had some awesome nights with Pat and I couldn't be happier to have him be a part of our wedding. Pat is currently a teacher in Vernon and is the Athletic Director during the summer in Highland Lakes.

Amy Haid

My maid of honor is no other, than my beautiful sister, Amy! We have grown so much closer over the past few years and I am so proud of the little lady she has become. She is prepping to go to Stockton University in the fall to study occupational therapy, and has worked her butt off to get there. I admire how laid back she is about everything...she has put my mind at ease with so many wedding details and I couldn't imagine anyone else to be my maid of honor! I am so lucky to have a sister I can always count on for the rest of my life, no matter what...Love you ame!

Grace Castaldi

Grace is our one and only Junior Bridesmaid. She is not only BJ's neice, but first and foremost, his only Goddaughter! She is currently in 7th grade, and will be turning 13 years old this year. Grace likes to cheerlead, and has recently started dancing again. We have also just found out that she is quite the singer and has been getting singing lessons! We are so proud of her and so excited to have her be apart of our special day!

Kim Paulussen

Growing up with a cousin like Kim was so much fun, especially our countless adventures down the shore...we need to re-live LBI one of these days, it's been too long! From diapers to now one of my bridesmaids, we're all grown up! Kim has recently gotten a job promotion and started a new adventure in California! She has always been quite the traveler, first with her family and now spontaneous trips on her own have become a regular adventure! She lives quite the life and has been so much help with my bachelorette party at her old homefront in Philly! So happy to have her be part of our special day!

Kristie Weimmer

Kristie Weimmer aka Kream! Out of all my bridesmaids, I've known Kristie the longest! From countless days in High Ridge freshman year to the room above her garage taking shots in a circle and everything in between and beyond, we have done sooo many fun things together! Kristie is a nurse at St. Barnabas Hospital, almost done with her BSN, and is a HUGE fan of Michael Kors and the Rangers! I can always count on her and I am so excited and happy to have her as part of our big day, not only as a best friend but as one of my bridesmaids!

Michelle Hemberger

My Mish! It all started senior year of high school...and ever since then, she has always been the type of friend that I could go months without talking to, and no matter what, she is always there when I need her and we can always pick up right where we left off! Michelle has been dating her boyfriend John for about 20 years now (just kidding HAHA), we're just waiting for them to be the next to tie the knot!! They have been living together in Hoboken while he works in NYC and she works at St. Barnabas Hospital as a nurse in the NICU and loves it! I am so happy to have her standing up there with us at the beach on our special day!

Kelsey Higgins

Kelsey and I lived out our 21st year of life together as partners in crime, the best way we knew how...basically living, eating and breathing being spontaneous and crazy together! During that time, Kelsey was the one and only matchmaker for BJ and I, little did she know, she would be in our wedding almost 4 years later! We have had so many funny and awesome times together. Kelsey got her degree in Communications from Ramapo and now works at BD in Bergen County. She has been dating her boyfriend, Anthony for almost 4 years and they LOVE to vacation in any tropical spot they can...they live the life! So excited to have her as one of my bridesmaids to stand by us on our special day!

Courtney Stalter

BJ introduced me to Courtney back at the start of our relationship, as one of his very best friends. When I first asked her to be one of my bridesmaids, she asked if she would be wearing a dress or a suit! Now I am so happy to have Courtney as one of my best friends too! Courtney is a teacher in Paterson and also picks up work at a couple different restaurants. I can always count on her to be down for anything, anywhere, anytime...we have had so many fun times together and I can't wait to make more memories with her! I can say, BJ and Courtney have always had an awesome friendship too and I can speak for both of us saying we are so happy and excited to have her a part of our day!

Amy Diggles

Ever since BJ first introduced me to Amy, she has never failed to make me and anyone else who has ever been to their home, welcome and comfortable. She and her husband, TJ, recently got married in September 2015 and we were so honored to be a part of there wedding, and now we are so excited that they get to be a part of ours! She and TJ have a baby dog named Dallas, who is our baby dog, Bruno's, BFF. I feel like I've known Amy for so much longer than I actually have, which speaks volumes for the type of friendship we have...I know I can go to her with anything and I'll always get the very best advice, not to mention we have had sooo many great times together!
