The Night to Remember
Aleisha Allen, who played Alicia in School of Rock, shared a delightful video from the reception, capturing the joyful moments of Caitlin and Angelo's first dances as a married couple. Aleisha, dressed in a stunning red one-shouldered velvet gown, showcased the evening's festivities, highlighting the deep connection between the bride and groom and their fellow castmates. Aleisha's caption beautifully encapsulated the essence of the day: “When you begin your new year with your brothers & sisters from other mommas & misters (missing a few) like time has never passed (with all heartbeats synced to the rhythm of Kev’s drums), to celebrate an amazing love that blossomed from our 20+ year old bond! (and ending the night, barefoot, eating snacks in a fancy gown ).” Aleisha concluded with warm wishes for the couple, “Solid start, I’d say lol. Congrats Caitlin and Angelo! Family 4evaa. Happy New Year, everyone!”
Rivkah Reyes, who played Katie, the bass player in the movie, also chimed in with glowing comments on Caitlin’s post. She wrote, “Every detail that went into this wedding was so well thought out. What an honor to witness & share this day with you two.

Rivkah also took to TikTok to share fun moments from the wedding reception, showcasing the elegant dining setup and the joyous atmosphere. Both Aleisha and Rivkah paid homage to their iconic film by setting their videos to Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” a track famously performed by Joan Cusack's character, Principal Mullins, in the movie.
A Bond That Stood the Test of Time
School of Rock will forever be remembered as the film where Jack Black played Dewey Finn, a struggling musician who impersonates a substitute teacher at a strict private school. Dewey transforms his students into a rock band, teaching them the power of music and friendship. This heartwarming story not only captured audiences worldwide but also forged lifelong friendships among its young cast members.
After the film wrapped, Caitlin and Angelo, along with their fellow castmates, stayed connected through a group chat. Their bond deepened when Caitlin moved to Florida in 2016, bringing her closer to Angelo's home. This move marked the beginning of their romantic relationship, leading to their beautiful union years later.
