Wedding Party Members
josh glick - officiant
Brother of Julia, Josh who just recently married the love of his life Kristina, will be conducting the wedding ceremony. Josh has taken his role very seriously and promises to do his best at officiating his first wedding ceremony. Hopefully he is as good at officiating as he at everything else he does!
Rachel glick - Maid of honor
Rachel is Julia's younger sister. She is finishing up her education at Ursinus college where she is studying Dance and Psychology. She is looking to continue her work by pursuing an MSW this upcoming fall. Although very different from each other, Julia and Rachel are both dedicated to the things they love and share a passion for helping others. They may bicker and tease each other, but nothing can stand in the way of the love and support they have for one another and their goals.
jess parinella - bridesmaid
Jess and Julia are college friends who met while living in Holland Hall their freshman year. The two became even closer when they moved up the hill and onto the same floor to participate in a Learning Community. Jess's nursing skills have come in handy many times throughout their relationship (eye patch tending and all!) and their mutual love of raw cookie dough and sports has helped keep their relationship strong even with distance. Although they live in separate states, Julia always knows that her Pittsburgh family is just a car ride away!
ali andregic - bridesmaid
Although they grew up 17 minutes away from each other (yes, we have timed it on numerous occasions), Julia and Ali didn't meet until a late summer day riding the elevator down from their dorm en route to psych class. Ali yelled to Julia across the quad "HEY YOU!" and asked if she wanted to walk together. From that day forward Julia spent most nights sleeping on an air mattress in Ali's room watching Law an Order SVU. The two spent their Junior and Senior years together as roommates and were very sad to part ways when they started graduate school. Although a three hour drive separates them, their friendship is stronger than ever and Julia can't wait to have Ali by her side!
Emily Zagnit - BRIDESMAID
Emily was introduced to Julia's circle of friends during sophomore year of college. Their connection was instant as they bonded over their obsession with all things cheese. The two have shared countless memories (mostly surrounding food, duh!) and so many adventures together. As a "third" roommate during senior year, their friendship grew stronger. Although graduate school separated them, Emily's work has recently brought her back to Washington D.C. and Julia could not be more excited!
Malcolm winne - BRIDESMAn
Malcolm and Julia met ten years ago as Sophomores in Ms. Minn's English class. They loved each other's sense of humor and spent the next three years joking, arguing and laughing their way through high school. The good times continued as they both chose to attend Pitt upon graduation. Malcolm fit in perfectly with Julia's new friends at school and their comical adventures continued. Malcolm was with Julia the first time she met John and she can't wait to have him with her when she says "I do!"
Kristina glick - BRIDESMAID
In September of 2016, Julia gained a new sister when her big brother married Kristina. Although she's only been a Glick for a few months, Kristina fits in perfectly. Her love of Philadelphia sports teams and cats is shared by all the Glick sisters. Julia was so excited to stand by Kristina's side when she married her brother and is just as excited to have Kristina return the favor. Unfortunately, Julia will likely not be as much of a "Bride-Chilla" as Kristina was :)
Patrick kiefer - Best man
Patrick and John met ten years ago at Pennsylvania Hall at Pitt, becoming acquainted out of a shared interest in fun college adventures. Today he resides in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
dan murray - Groomsman
Mr. Murray has been part of John's circle of friends since college. He works with computers and has a passion for retro gaming, so obviously he's a pretty cool cat. He's the next one up, getting married to his lovely fiancée Crystal Kalouche on June 10, 2017. Check out their wedding website at The Knot!
victoria carpenter - groomswoman
Victoria and John met in Arizona about 12 years ago through mutual friends, when John was fresh out of high school. A physician's assistant, firefighter for the City of Phoenix, and world traveler, she is as incredible as they come—basically a female version of the 'Dos Equis Man'. Their mutual passion for fun and interesting things of all kinds keeps them good friends even though John is now a long way from Arizona! We are super excited to have this amazing woman be a part of our wedding.
jayne lewis - groomswoman
Jayne, sister of John, resides in Peoria, Arizona with her husband 'Big Phil' and the handsome lad you see in the photo 'Little Philip'. She has a pretty cool family and we're excited to have them with us when we tie the knot!
Danny buonagurio - groomsman
Danny (Daniel) is John's brother and resides in Peoria, Arizona. He's a recent graduate in urban planning from ASU and has a passion for architecture.
