Maribeth Breen

Maribeth is one of our closest family friends. Sometimes we forget she’s not directly related. The Breen’s have always been there for the Palluzzi’s and this wedding is no exception. Their family is some of the most loving and caring people you’ll ever meet. Maribeth has offered to officiate the wedding in Narragansett, Rhode Island. When we think about the people we want to be front and center in our wedding ceremony we can think of no one else but Maribeth. Her always glowing attitude and constant open heart lends itself perfectly for our ceremony. We’re so excited to have her there and we know you will too.

Corelyn Coates

We don’t have enough time or space to say how much we appreciate our bestest friend in the world Corelyn. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Corelyn has been there to help plan, make calls, do research, and mediate every step of the way. Without her we would truly be lost, stressed and unable to move. Corelyn graciously decided early on that she was going to selflessly donate many long hours helping us plan our wedding. The biggest task was accomplishing all of this from 3000+ miles away. It required endless nights crowded around our laptops at dinner tables, on couches and sometimes on the floor while we put the whole thing together. It’s not easy planning a wedding but doing it with Corelyn made our lives significantly better. Plus it was just more fun to have her around to talk to and bounce ideas off. We could never thank her enough and we’ll forever be in debt to her for all her help.
