FriendsToForever2026

Some love stories start with fireworks.Ours started with friendship.We walked through life side by side long before we realized we were walking toward each other. Through hard seasons, we found healing, growth, and the raising of five incredible kids, and we found something steady, real, and undeniable.Our home is full; Luka, Soren, Arya, Julia, and Elio keep us moving at all times, and our two dogs, Zampa and Ivy, add their own personality to the mix. There’s always laughter, always noise, and always way too many sports.This wedding is more than a ceremony. It’s a celebration of deep friendship, big blended families, and the kind of love that feels like it was always meant to be.We are so grateful for every person who supported us through every chapter.Now we get to say “I do.”And we cannot wait to celebrate with you.-Cello &amp; Angie#FriendsToForever2026

Two Big Hearts, One Big Family

Our Story

Photos

Soren, a 14-year-old gentle giant, will be walking his mom down the aisle, and yes, despite towering over me, he will always be my baby.

He’s strong, steady, and the sweetest human in the room. Calm under pressure, protective by nature, and fully aware that this is a very important job. I trust him completely… even if he’s probably still going to crack a joke right before we step out.

And once the ceremony is over? Just know the gentle giant also holds the title for best dance moves in the family. If you see surprise breakdancing at the reception, that’s him.

There’s no one I’d rather have by my side for that walk.

Luka is stepping into the role of Best Man,  and he’s taking it on like a pro.

At 15, he already carries himself with calm confidence and quiet strength. He’s steady under pressure, observant, and just responsible enough to make sure I don’t go off-script during my vows. If something needs to be handled, Luka’s already on it.

He’s been by my side through every chapter, and watching him grow into the strong, capable young man he is today has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

Having my son next to me means everything.

At 10 years old, Elio has been officially appointed Head of Ring Security,  and he takes the role very seriously.

Complete with security sunglasses and a briefcase in hand, he is fully prepared to protect the rings at all costs. Youngest in the lineup? Yes. Least intimidating? Absolutely not.

Elio brings confidence, quick humor, and undeniable cool factor wherever he goes. Once the suit is on and the sunglasses go down, it’s game time. The mission is simple: deliver the rings safely and look sharp doing it.

We have complete confidence in Agent Elio. The rings are in very good hands.

Agent Naomi has officially joined the wedding day operation.

At 9 years old, she will be leading the Petal Division, bringing style, sparkle, and just the right amount of dramatic flair down the aisle. Complete with security sunglasses and undeniable confidence, she is fully prepared for her role.

Creative, quick-witted, and full of imagination, Naomi brings joy wherever she goes. Whether she’s reading her latest graphic novel, baking something sweet, or dreaming up her next big idea, she does it all with heart and sunshine energy.

Favorite color: pink.
Favorite flower: lily of the valley.
Mission status: fully prepared.

Paired with our Head of Ring Security, she ensures this wedding runs smoothly and looks beautiful.

Julia will be standing by my side as a bridesmaid. She brings big center-of-the-room energy wherever she goes.

She is funny, spirited, and unapologetically herself. When she walks into a space, you feel it. Her laugh is big, her personality is bigger, and she has a way of turning even the most ordinary moments into something memorable.

She keeps us laughing, keeps us moving, and keeps life interesting in the very best way. Having her beside me on this day means everything.

Arya will be standing by my side as a bridesmaid. She brings both peace and heart wherever she goes.

She is determined, competitive, and fiercely loyal. Whether she’s on the field or standing up for what she believes in, she leads with confidence and grit. 

Officially becoming her stepmom is an honor I don’t take lightly. Loving her and walking beside her as she grows has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.

Arya

I’ve known Cello for 24 years; long enough to confirm he used to have hair… and made bold fashion choices (think oversized pink frog-eye sunglasses and a permanently popped collar while roaming Europe).

If I had to describe him in one word, it would be genuine. What you see is what you get: loyal, big-hearted, and fully himself.

One of my favorite memories with him takes us back to the summer of 2005 — Sardinia, then Belgium, endless laughs, and neighbors knocking on our door because we were up too late having too much fun.

One night in Oostende, we decided to bike downtown. My bike had reversed brakes (rear and front switched). Cello didn’t know that. When he tried to drift the back wheel like I had, he grabbed the wrong brake and launched himself straight over the handlebars.

He walked away with a bruise. We walked away crying from laughter. Naturally, we “medicated” the situation with local Belgian beer and kept the night going. Legendary.

If Cello were a movie character? A hybrid of Bambi, Tarzan, and Superman — gentle heart, wild spirit, and superhero loyalty.

At the end of the day, what makes him happiest is simple: his family.

Our friendship in one sentence?
Brother.

And I can’t wait to stand there and watch two devoted, resilient, endearing, loving, and wildly fun people commit their lives to each other.

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! However, if you wish to celebrate us further, we would love for you to consider a gift that’s sentimental or represents our journey together. Perhaps something meaningful from your life or an item that holds a special memory with us.
