She may be a foot shorter than Christine, but do not be fooled, for she is 3 years her elder (and can eat about triple the amount of any normal human being).

In fact, we were going to do a hot dog eating contest at the party but didn't want anyone puking trying to keep up with her. Wear your dancing shoes because she'll probably be dancing even before the party starts...and will likely get you involved.

The buttcrack of the duo, Gina is Christine's younger sister and often mistaken as her twin (which she is very happy about because that means she has less wrinkles being that Gina is 6 years younger than her). Growing up Gina was attached to Chrissy's hip, and didn't actually sleep separate from her sister until Chrissy went to college. Notorious for her blowjob shots, she will surely bring entertainment to our wedding night. If you see a red head dancing on one of the tables, it'll likely be Gina.

Brandon is Justin's older brother, and although he's got the title of Best Man right now, all growing up he was Chief Instigator. He was responsible for some of Justin's broken bones but also paved the way for a much easier adolescence by breaking all the house rules ahead of time.

Jen met Brandon "at school" (ask them why this is in quotes) and has been a very loving addition to the Gerena family. Chrissy is very happy to inherit such a great ("kick-ass") sister-in-law.

Vinny and Justin met in Kindergarten in Mrs. Rivers' class, where they both learned about the alphabet and what glue sticks taste like. 25 years later, they still live around the block from each other, but with significant others and a lot more responsibilities other than just keeping track of lunch money. After a few years of video games, building snow forts, eating Chicken Soup after building snow forts, playing their saxophones, and bowling together, Justin adopted Vinny's family as his own.

Paige is the loving, devoted, passionate girl that Vinny was always hoping he'd meet. Just like him, she's spent a part of her life in upstate NY, but if you combine that with all the time she spent in North Carolina, well, that explains the accent. Paige & Vinny got married in 2012 and recently welcomed an adorable little girl, Lilly, into their loving family.

Paul is Vinny's younger brother, which you'd never guess by the way he acts. You'd guess he was Vinny's BABY brother.

Paul has a way of getting you to know exactly what he's thinking: he says it out loud...no matter what it is and who's around.

Justin and Paul bonded while Vinny was away in college. Justin refused to stop visiting Vinny's family while he was gone, so Paul substituted for Vinny and became a great friend. An avid Yankees & Jets fan, Paul likes to keep life simple and avoid the stresses and headaches of life's drama. He helped Justin figure out how to loosen up, relax, and take one day at a time.

Jessie is Christine's "cousin" (in parenthesis because there is no actual genetic relation, but do not be fooled, they are every bit of family). Jessie is the same age as Christine's younger sister, Gina, and lives just around the block from Chrissy's parents. Summer days filled with swimming in their pools, camping, playing manhunt, and accidentally slipping on slugs on the back patio were always fun and adventurous!

Katrina and Justin used to sit next to each other on the bus to elementary school singing stupid songs to make each other laugh. She's the sister he never had, and he's the closest thing to a sister she's ever had.

If you need anything cleaned, Steve will do it for just a case of beer. One of the many interesting facts about Katrina's Prince Charming. He's very easily one of our favorite people and is sure to make you come very close to peeing your pants, even if you're having a bad day.

This is a friendship that started in gym class in 7th grade when Christine tackled Danielle in response to the gym teacher asking Christine to get her more involved. After her initial injuries healed, they realized they were in a lot of the same classes and "G" is very close to "F" in alphabetical order seating.

They've come a long way since 7th grade gym class, have traveled to the caribbean multiple times together, got into a lot of trouble in the caribbean multiple times together, have gone on many girls night candlelit dinners, and currently hold the record for the most text messages transmitted during a first date. (Christine was texting her the entire time she was on her first date with Justin!)

Justin met Kenny in the 7th grade when Kenny moved out of Queens and into the line of fire, which is also known as Don's middle school friendship. After his acting debut in The Hobbit fell through, he's become a very successful lawyer and a "do anything for you" kind of friend. He's a great conversationalist, and can literally talk to anyone about anything...except about "what it's like to be taller than average."

Kenny will stand by, and defend any of his friends and family, and not just because that's what he does for a living. He knows the value of a friend, and makes that crystal clear in how he goes above and beyond to make those close to him happy.

Brynne has been one of Christine's best friends since 1st grade, when they used to play on the same soccer and basketball teams together. They lived around the corner from each other and used to walk to each other's houses for playdates. Their morning rides to school were always eventful and were filled with the soundtracks of Dave Matthews and Celine Dion. Sitting next to each other in classes must have been a nightmare for their poor school teachers.

Christine transferred schools her freshman year of college to be with Brynne. They have a strong affinity for Star Wars Monopoly and have gotten into tons of trouble together, including being the most bad ass tomboys Commack had ever seen.

If you're wondering who that ridiculous dancer is at the wedding, spoiler alert: it's Mike. Mike and Justin met in elementary school, back when everyone was vying to be friends with the tallest 5th grader to have ever graced the halls of Barnum Woods. Everywhere Mike goes, he knows at least a handful of people and is liked by all of them. He knows someone in every state, and probably every country, so every time he loses his phone is like rebuilding an egg's shell after it breaks. Every time you see him, he makes you feel like he's been thinking about you since the moment you last talked.

Classy. Sweet. Charming. Truly one of a kind.

Alicia is Christine's little cousin, and teams with Roseann for tiniest and cutest italian ragazza around. Fun and outgoing, she is sure to dance circles around you all night long. (No, really, this girl doesn't stop!!!).

FUN FACT: Christine caught the bouquet at her parents wedding when she was 3, and almost knocked someone out for trying to steal the bouquet back! We all know 3 is just a tad too young to partake in the garter thing!

Bobby Ravioli, or "My Bobby" as Justin referred to him on national television (Food Network) in 2009, is Justin's business partner and a very loyal friend. They met in college, and bonded over wanting to be their own bosses...shared a fascination with business, creativity, and humor. They talk almost every day (as long as Justin doesn't forget to call him back).

The cutest 5 year old in all of the United States and Ireland!! The photo you see here is of her 'practicing' to be our flower girl! We're not so sure about the rainbow lei and the candle stick wand, but we're definitely entertaining the idea of the sunglasses!

Emily's parents, Jen and Brian, are two of Christine and Justin's good friends, and based on the photos from their wedding, are going to be just as much fun to celebrate with as Emily! (rumor has it Brian's clothes came off...He's Irish. What can we say?)

Only the cutest pseudo-niece anyone can ask for, this 3 year-old charmer will make you wish human cloning existed. Don't bother asking her parents (Katrina & Steve) to adopt her, because we've already begged, pleaded, and bribed our way to the top of the list.

This little 3 year old has won the hearts of all family and friends (and the female teachers at day camp). Jen & Brandon are the proud parents, and he makes the perfect nephew to Justin & Chrissy. If Jen puts one of her delicious desserts on the altar, it's a guarantee he makes a bee-line down the aisle.
