Krystyn and I have literally been lifelong friends... we first met when I was a month old and she was 10 days old. We've been through it all and always said we should be related (and even tried one time, with that whole finger-pricking "blood sisters" thing that was so popular in the 80s)... now we kinda will be related since I'll be marrying into her family. I'm so excited to have her stand beside me on my wedding day. Krystyn and her husband Bob are currently building a gorgeous new house in Saratoga (hello perfect bridal shower spot!), she is a clinical liaison for a pharmaceutical company and is smarter than most doctors... just don't call her a pharm rep!

Rachel and I met while working for McBride & Son Homes in St. Louis a few years ago and developed a quick and unique friendship over volleyball and far too many bottles of wine. She was gracious enough to let me live with her (untrained dogs and all) before I moved back to Albany. She was also the one to give me the courage (and accompany me) on that first trip back to Albany to visit Dominick. Rachel now lives in Chicago working for a real estate firm.

Paula is Dominick's 'next door sister' and one of my closest friends in New York. We have spent many evenings at her house bonding over wedding planning (hers and mine) and dinner and wine. I'm so glad to have made such a good friend and am so excited that she will be there with us as we get married. Paula and her husband Michael recently welcomed their first son, Michael Vincent, and live next door to Donna and Yono in Latham.

Alex (or Sis, as she is more commonly known) is Dominick's younger sister and I'm excited to soon be able to call her my sister. There is never a dull moment with Alex and we have spent many fun-filled nights together... with an alarming number of odd taxi incidents ;) I'm glad to have gotten to know her and can't wait to be a part of her family. Alex lives in NYC and is 2nd grade teacher in the Bronx. When she's not teaching, you can probably find her in Italy.

Ryleigh is Dominick's goddaughter (Cousin Lori & Chad's daughter) and quite possibly the cutest 3 year old there is. From the first time Ryleigh met Carolyn, there was an inseparable bond and Carolyn now has a friend for life. We're so proud for her to be our flower girl!

Peter and I grew up next door to each other since we were a year old. Over the years our families have melded into one. Peter and I have been through every stage of life together, whether it was cub scouts together, or car pooling back from college together. It is only fitting that Carolyn and I are getting married soon after Peter and Stacey did. After what seems like 15 years of higher education, Peter is now the Assistant Principal at Hoosick Falls High.

Nick and I have been friends for over 9 years. We originally met when Nick came to work at Yono's and soon had fooled the entire Capital Region into believing we are cousins. During our bachelor days we had a lot of fun spending many nights at Sneaky Pete's and the Pearl Street bars and we have always enjoyed our friendly "rivalry" between "my" USC and "his" Notre Dame, where we once went for a weekend football game and realized that the three years that we were out of college were much more significant than we had previously thought. Nick lives in Clifton Park with his wonderful girlfriend Melissa and works in pharmaceutical sales for MedTronic Diabetes. Nick has become a very dear friend of both Carolyn and I and we are delighted to have him be such big part of such a special day.

Craig is Carolyn's big little brother whom I have gotten the pleasure to know over the last 2 years. Craig and I have hit it off, bonding over our common love of all 80's hairband music and fondness of sports. We couldn't imagine not having Craig in our wedding and can't wait for his own wedding to his new fiancee Michelle. Craig lives in St. Louis and is an accountant with Buckingham Asset Management.

Joe, or "The Muss" as he is often referred, and I have known each other for over ten years. Despite the fact that Joe had moved back to Syracuse, we remained close and I'm happy that Joe and Nicole have relocated back to Albany. We have shared a lot of great times in the past including Joe's own wedding where they gave me the perfect gift, tickets to Bon Jovi! I look forward to many more great times, as we rock out to Heart and Journey together. Joe works in medical sales for the Guidant Group of Boston Scientific. If anyone goes down on the dance floor, Joe will have the paddles ready!!

Joseph Carr has been a close friend of Dominick for several years now after being introduced by Donna & Yono. Joe was one of the first friends of Dominick that Carolyn met and they quickly formed a friendship over the last 3 years. Joe makes wine under his own name in Napa Valley which you will be able to "taste" over the duration of the wedding weekend! We couldn't have imagined our special day without Joe and his wife Dee!

Bob is Dominick's second cousin and the husband of Carolyn's matron of honor and best friend, Krystyn. If you have studied this site well, you will remember that it was Bob & Krystyn's wedding where Dominick & Carolyn met. We are honored to have Bob be a part of the wedding and continue to tell him & Krystyn that it's all their fault!!!
