Cassie is my bestest favorite niece and one of the biggest joys in my life.  I have loved her from day 1 and we have a bond no person can break.  She is about to start college and I could not be more proud of the young woman she has become.  I could not love her more even if she was my own daughter.  I am so honored to have Cassie stand up for us at our wedding. 

Jackie is my sister and has always been on my side when I needed her.  She is our biggest fan and couldn't be happier for us to be husband and wife.  She is the proud mom to two glorious children, Nicky and Cassie. I am so happy Jackie has agreed to be a part of our special day.

I met Gina when I was 7 years old in 2nd grade.  She and two other girls walked up to me my very first day of school and introduced themselves to me.  I was terrified to be in a new school at the end of the school year and afraid I would not make friends.  Gina was my first friend and is still my BFF to this day. She always supports me and will be there at 3am if I call her in need.  So proud of the mom she has become to her two beautiful daughters and am so proud to call her my friend, when really she is family to me.

I met Kim in 7th grade, the same time I met Danny...go figure!  The day I met Kim I came home and told my mom I wanted to be friends with a new girl I met at school. I liked her immediately and friends we became.  Kim and I went through a 'dress alike' phase, I'm not really sure why, but I have several pictures to prove it.  She is the most unbelievable mom to 5 kids and is a grandmother now.  I know you would never know it looking at her, cause she has always looked incredible.  Love you to pieces and am honored you will be with us on our special day. 

I met Lenore my very first day of college, she was our resident assistant. She had very big hair, shook her head when she talked and I learned of Bayonne, a place I was not familiar with until then. We soon became friends and decided to live together my sophomore year. As luck would have it years later, Lenore and I moved within 5 minutes of each other.  Our friendship grew from there, always being there for each other.  She is definitely on my side and has proven it several times.  She is a fantastic mom to two great kids and I know we will be friends forever.   

Britt is Danny's daughter as I'm sure most of you know already.  I am amazed and envious of the close relationship Danny and Britt have.  She is comfortable telling him anything and I mean anything, LOL.  They have an unbelievable bond that I am so honored to be a part of.  I promise to be the best step monster possible and always keep her included in our lives. She is Danny's greatest joy and I will honor that forever.  I am so thrilled to have Britt be part of our special day.   

My brother by blood, and my friend by choice.  Whether we're sitting in a rowboat fishing or on the phone 700 miles away, we're right by each other's side.  Same goofy sense of humor, same sarcastic views of this world. Even when we don't see things the same way, all it takes is a tug on a fly-line and we can drop everything and go right back to rooting for each other as we try to land the big one.

Doug is my brother in law by being married to my sister, Karen, but he's really my brother.  I've known Doug over 40 years.  A gracious host of Super Bowl parties, holiday gatherings and get togethers at their Florida home, he's a big guy with an even bigger heart that he opens up to everyone around him.

When you ride around with someone for 12 years at work people start making all the jokes about how you're 'married.'  The good, the bad and the very, very ugly, Mikey was there beside me for it all.  The laughter we shared in patrol cars, surveillance vans and some really bad situations got us both through a lot and I literally owe him my life.  A good friend, a great cop.... and my brother.

I've known Opie for 10 years.  My partner for 2 years now, and it's like we've always been.  Same outlook on things (which is great when you're in a car with somone for 10 hrs a day), and someone I know has my back 100% no matter how bad things might get.  Another brother in blue, and a true friend when the work day ends.

That smile says it all.  I've seen it hundreds of times on the river, in the woods or just sitting in his garage listening to Waylon Jennings.  Always quick with a joke (or a beer if you need one) Larry is truly another brother in blue and a friend for life.

Alex's nephew, and one of the warmest, friendliest, most gracious people I know. A hard working young man who is a shining example of what his generation should be.  We couldn't wait to ask Nicky to be in our wedding and he didn't disappoint.  His excitement for our day is contagious and we can't wait for him to be a part of it.
