Azrah joined Anjelica’s life in 2016 (sorry, Dad IYKYK!). Anjelica had always dreamed of a husky, and Azrah quickly became part of her identity. When Anjelica met Joe, Azrah stole his heart too—so when Joe proposed, he made sure to ask his "Love Bug Baby" as well. Azrah is also a retired influencer (for now)!

Mako is the calm to his sister’s sass. A true lover boy, he’s selective about who he lets in but is fiercely devoted to his mom, Anjelica. He warmed up quickly to Joe once he realized Joe brings the fun. At home he’s affectionately known as “Bobby Orr.”

Always Michael, never Mike. Michael Martino is the steady anchor of the Martino family—calm, practical, and quietly proud of his daughter, Anjelica. He’s the guy who remembers birthdays, fixes what’s broken, and keeps everyone laughing with a perfectly timed story.

Carrie has a calm, steady presence—she’s never been one to raise her voice. A masterful salesperson, she knows how to connect with people and close a deal better than anyone around. Carrie’s warmth, poise, and expertise make her an irreplaceable part of Anjelica and Joe's celebration.

Shaylee is the youngest member of the wedding party and Joe and Anjelica’s beloved niece. Born in December 2024 and traveling from Anjelica’s home state, she already fills every room with her bright personality and charm. With a budding imagination and the sweetest, most curious spirit, Shaylee brings smiles wherever she goes and a little extra joy to those around her. She’s sure to sprinkle the aisle with love, laughter, and just a touch of magic on the big day. She is affectionately known as Anjelica’s “little croissant”.

Christina has been one of Anjelica’s constants through every season of life — the kind of friend you can call for anything, anytime. Whether they’re laughing until they cry, bonding over their shared love of hockey, saying yes to spontaneous plans, or getting through life’s tougher moments together, Christina has always been right by Anjelica’s side. Her fun-loving spirit, unwavering loyalty, and “always down for whatever” attitude are just a few of the many reasons Anjelica loves her so much.

AnnaMarie will forever be Anjelica’s very first friend. Though they’re only 21 months apart, the two couldn’t be more different—while somehow still being so similar at the same time. Growing up, and even to this day, AnnaMarie has always gone to bat for Anjelica, no questions asked. Their bond is one built on loyalty, love, and a lifetime of shared memories. She also gave Anjelica one of her favorite titles—“Aunt”—with the birth of her daughter, Shaylee. No matter how much time passes, Anjelica will always be AnnaMarie’s “young coconut,” and she feels so lucky to have her sister by her side on this special day.

Anjelica met April for the first time at Party Island on Long Beach Island, and they immediately clicked. From that moment on, their friendship has been filled with fun, whether it’s a night out on the town for cocktails and caviar or taking the world’s silliest pictures. April is the person Anjelica turns to for unfiltered honesty...always saying exactly what needs to be said. And while April may not be in the NYC area (right now), Anjelica is still working on that.

Veronica and Anjelica have been friends since high school, where they met in creative writing class—Anjelica somehow managed to get a 120%. Veronica is one of the few people from that time in Anjelica’s life who has remained by her side, which says so much about how special Veronica is. Veronica will forever be the girl with the biggest sock bun Anjelica’s ever seen (thankfully retired), and the one person she can tell absolutely anything to.

Anjelica met Zoe at the dog park when Azrah was just a baby. Their first interaction was definitely memorable, with Azrah stealing Zoe’s keys & running laps around the park. Luckily, that didn’t scare Zoe off, and somehow it turned into the start of something really special. Anjelica is especially proud of her friendship with Zoe because she found her all on her own & it’s one that quickly grew into something meaningful.

Anjelica met Jood, many years ago, and the two quickly bonded over their shared love for the finer things in life, whether it’s hard-to-get reservations or the bougiest cocktails. Jood has always been there for Anjelica, especially in those moments when she can’t stop overthinking and Joe is busy. As a doctor, she’s also the go-to for any ailment, offering both reassurance and knowledge whenever it’s needed. Her steady presence, great taste, and unwavering friendship have meant so much over the years.

Ashley is Anjelica's fellow Italian and favorite wine companion. The two have shared countless laughs, celebrations, and girls' nights over the years. Ashley is the kind of person who always goes out of her way for the people she loves, making her one of the most thoughtful and dependable friends anyone could ask for. Whenever Anjelica is looking for a night on the town or a fun girls' night, Ashley is always the first person she calls because she's always ready for a good time. Anjelica was honored to stand by Ashley's side on her wedding day and is so grateful to have her standing by hers now.

Jordan is an all-star corporate event planner who somehow manages to be everywhere at once, constantly traveling for work and making every event she touches unforgettable.

Jordan has always been one of Anjelica’s biggest cheerleaders — the kind of friend who shows up full force with support, encouragement, and excitement for every chapter of life. She’s also responsible for some of Anjelica’s most memorable adventures, from Yankee Stadium suites to exclusive LL Bean parties and so many fun moments in between.
