Wedding Party

Kimberly Cinguina, Matron of Honor

Stacey's cousin, Kim grew up down the street from Stacey, and has been like a big sister to Stacey since the day she came home from the hospital. A graduate of NYU's School of Education, she has a wonderful husband, John, and two delightful children - Mary, age five and John, three.


Natalie Galatianos, Bridesmaid

Stacey's mother introduced her to Natalie during a spur of the moment trip to Sears in the spring of 1998. On a whim, the two NYU-bound high school seniors agreed to be roommates, and have been the best of friends ever since. Currently, Natalie works in the corporate offices of a women's fashion house. She lives in New Rochelle with her husband, A.G. and her dog, Riley.


Susan Garges, Bridesmaid

Stacey met Sue their first weekend at NYU, and have been attached at the hip for the last eleven years. Sue started her career after NYU in a rival big four accounting firm, but now works in wealth management in New York City. Stacey had the great honor of being Sue's maid of honor in November, and is thrilled that Sue will be standing with her in May.


Colleen Morris, Bridesmaid

Colleen is John's sister, and when she's not fighting ninjas she's riding giants. The person whom John believes to have more fun than anyone else worldwide, Colleen works for an investment services firm when she's not saving the world from boredom. Her middle initial is D and John will pay you two dollars if she tells you what it really stands for.


Suzanne Spear, Bridesmaid

Stacey has known Suzanne for over four years, and is delighted to have her in the wedding. A native of Trumbull, CT, Suzanne works for a high-end designer based out of New York's Fashion District. When not sitting next to the runway during fashion week, Suzanne can be found, with Stacey, in Saks and/or Lucky Shops, splurging on the latest designer trends.


Mary Cinguina, Flowergirl

Stacey's goddaughter, Mary is five years old and attends pre-k in Dobbs Ferry, NY. She enjoys spending time with her parents and her brother John.


Ashleigh Morris, Flowergirl

John's cousin once removed, Ashleigh is John's goddaughter and to keep things simple he refers to her as his niece. Ashleigh is five and three quarters years old, and attends kindergarten in West Lafayette, IN. She lives with her parents and younder sister, Nicole.


Nicole Morris, Flowergirl

When asked why she was misbehaving in church one Sunday, Nicole's simple response was, "I like to be bad." Nicole lives to cause trouble, and the wedding guests should be a little concerned having her so close to her Aunt Colleen. Wish them both luck! Nicole lives in West Lafayette, IN with her parents and sister, and has a dog named RJ.





Dan Kirchoff, Best Man

John has known Dan since they were in the second grade together at P.S. 214 in their hometown of Flushing, Queens. Their friendship dates back to a conversation that John began with the question, "Want to be friends?" They commuted together each day in high school, courtesy of Dan's grandmother, Mrs. Dempsey. Dan is, in no particular order, a Mets fan, a surgeon and an alumnus of both the College of the Holy Cross and Columbia's School of Physicians & Surgeons. In May of 2007, John stood as Dan's best man in Jersey City, and is beside himself that Dan will be beside him when he takes his vows in May.


Russell Capone, Groomsman

Russell hails from Flushing, having grown up mere blocks from John's family home on 161st Street. Russell is John's high school classmate and spent his college years at Tufts. In fact, he liked the Boston area so much he stayed in town for law school. John has many fond memories of driving to Harvard, where he and Russell went on an embarassingly high number of man-dates.


Joe Marutollo, Groomsman

Stacey's brother, Joe is a recent graduate of Fordham University and is currently completing his final year at Pace Law School. A die hard fan of the Bronx Bombers, Joe can be often be seen camping outside of Yankee Stadium for next year's tickets. After graduating in May, Joe will start practicing law in New York City.


Jim Peiser, Groomsman

Jim hails from Bayside, NY, the neighborhood due East of Flushing. A high school classmate of John, Dan, Russell and many more of our wedding guests, Jim was the recipient of 11 years of Jesuit instruction, having graduated from Regis High School, Boston College and Fordham Law School. Jim now lives directly south of John in Long Island City and practices law in Manhattan.


Steven Steer, Groomsman

Steve and John met on the sailing team during the fall of 1998, when John was a freshman and Steve was a junior at Columbia. John is proud to have been best man at Steve's wedding in 2007, and is equally proud to have Steve standing with him in May. Like John, Steve is a collector of university diplomas, holding BA, BS, MS and MD degrees. He currently practices radiology in St. Louis, MO.


John H. Cinguina, Jr., Ring Bearer

John Cinguina is three years old, and is excited to wear a tuxedo for the first time. He lives in Eastchester with his parents and sister, Mary.


Timothy and Keith Morris, Ushers

Two of John's seemingly unending supply of cousins, Tim and Keith grew up in Stewart Manor, NY. Tim attended Regis High School and Fairfield University and now lives in Manhattan, where he works in investment management for one of the few banks to survive the financial crisis. Keith attended Chaminade High School and followed his brother to Fairfield University. Keith currently works for a division of the Sheinhardt Wig Company, and aspires to one day be the Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming. He currently lives in Connecticut, but has spent time in Cincinnati, OH and most recently, Shanghai, China. Tim and Keith hope one day to operate their own frozen banana stand.
