Rev. Monsignor John J. McSweeney

We would like to thank the man who will be heading off the ceremony, Monsignor John McSweeney. We had the privilege of meeting the Monsignor when we meet with him about getting married and to discuss the plans for the big day. He has been a guiding help as we get closer and prepared for the big day! Thank you for being a huge part as we take our relationship to the next level!

Jan Pasek in Atlanta, GA

To my Aunt Jan: You are always doing great things for me. From taking me to London, a day spa for my 21st birthday, and now a beautiful wedding shower for friends and family in the GA area. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon and a fun luncheon! Thank you for everything!!

Laura Madonna and Carol Iafrate in Schenectady, NY

We would like to thank my mother Carol, sister Laura and my brother-in-law/financial supporter, Mike for setting up a shower for us for our family in the northeast. We are really appreciative and honored that you were able to plan and host this...despite Laura moving that same week! We owe you guys big! When will you ever get tired of hearing that!

Chris "The Shermanator" Ferry

Chris Ferry, or Sherman as we call him, is a student photographer in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at UNC Charlotte. He is also one of Frate's fraternity brothers and a close friend of both of ours. Sherman will be taking photographs at the Rehearsal Dinner and possibly some on the morning of the Wedding Day. We are very Thankful to have Sherman help us out!

Dave Marcozzi - "Cozzi"

For years, Dave has dazzled apartments and living rooms from all over with his accordion playing. Now, we will have the honor to hear him play at our rehearsal dinner! Cozzi comes from Baltimore, MD, and with a rich Italian background, he will bring a slice of Italy to Charlotte, NC! From tunes from the "God Father", to some of today's hits, you will sure to be impressed!

Ricky, Mike, Joe, D-Bob, Sherman, Jeremy, Keith, J-Rod and Sal

I (Frate, of course), would like to say thank you to the guys who went to Vegas to celebrate me "going out in style"! I appreciate everything that you all did to make the Vegas trip a memorable one...and more! You all gave me a permanent reminder on why I don't think of you as just friends, but as brothers...even though Ricky already is! Thanks guys, you are the best!
