Ricky Iafrate

Relation: Brother of the Groom
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
Night and day, is what they use to compare my brother and me. Growing up, people could never understand that we are related. And although we are different in everyway, “Ghetto Frate” is, and always will be, one of my best friends.

Mike Madonna

Relation: Brother-in-law of the Groom
Hometown: Schenectady, NY
Since I was 12 years old, Mike has become the big brother that I never had. By watching him treat my sister and his 2 daughters so great, I hope to be just like him…only I hope to keep a tighter grip on my credit cards!

Matt Pasek

Relation: Brother of the Bride
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
Ever since I met Matt, I constantly have someone to talk about sports. From Georgia Bulldog Football, to any pointless statistic about any player…Matt knows all! He is also a master at creating his own replays using the Tivo!

John "D-Bob" Barkanic

Relation: Friend/Fraternity Brother
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
D-Bob is my little brother in my fraternity. Ever since he was a young freshman, I have taken him under my wing and shown him the ropes…now that we are older, it seems that he actually keeps me in line!

Joe Conte

Relation: Friend/Fraternity Brother
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
Joe is from Guilderland, NY, which is 3 miles from the town that I grew up in. Though we didn’t meet until college in NC, Joe and I became close fraternity brothers, roommates and friends with a ton of great memories…Yeah Joe!

Jimmy Tortorella

Relation: God Son/Cousin of the Groom
Hometown: Scotia, NY
As my God Son, Jimmy and I have a lot in common. We both like sports, the Steelers, are pretty friendly and we both are the middle child of our siblings. The only thing different is that he got all of the good looks…just look at that picture!

Craig Averette

Relation: Friend/Fraternity Brother
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
Craig was not only an old friend and fraternity brother; he was also one of my old roommates in college. Craig was always there to tell me that the right girl for me was somewhere out there…but when I met her(Jaclyn), I tried to set her up with him!

Dave Marcozzi - "Cozzi"

Relation: Friend/Fraternity Brother
Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Rich in Italian heritage, Cozzi was a part of Little Italy in Charlotte, which was the name of our apartment! We spent countless occasions drinking wine, eating pasta and listening to Cozzi play his accordion. I am honored to have him play at our rehearsal dinner!

Chris "Sherman" Ferry

Relation: Friend/Fraternity Brother
Hometown: Newbourgh, NY
The “Shermanator” got his nickname from the notorious American Pie character when he was a freshman at my college. Sherman is a person who barely ever gets upset, and always has a smile on his face. Though he moved back to NY, he will always remain one of my greatest friends!

Mark Childers

Relation: Friend/Fraternity Brother
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
Not only is Mark a fraternity brother and close friend of mine, but he was Jaclyn’s high school sweetheart! Though they remained close friends since then, I still asked his permission to date Jaclyn…as he has always looked out for her, he was very thrilled!
