The cast of the 2003 coming-of-age movie School of Rock have reunited for the best reason as two of their co-stars tied the knot.
The hit comedy follows fake substitute teacher Dewey (Jack Black) who forms an unconventional rock band with his students.
Well, now the kids are all grown up as the motley crew of musicians got back together for the wedding between co-stars Angelo Massagli and Caitlin Hale who met on the set when they were just 10 years old.
Caitlin played backup singer Marta, and Angelo starred as security guard Frankie. The rest of the cast included Miranda Cosgrove, Sarah Silverman, Mike White and, of course, comedic legend Jack.
It was actually years later in Florida in 2018 that the pair reconnected after leaving show business behind that they started dating.
‘Even though it wasn’t romantic, that familiarity we had and our families had when we were younger, really cut through some of those early relationship hurdles,’ Angelo, who works as a lawyer, told the New York Times.

And Caitlin, now an OB-GYN sonographer, added that she ‘knew very early’ that she was going to marry Angelo. The rest, as they say, is history.
Plenty of their former co-stars attended the big day, which took place at a dreamy venue in New Jersey, and although Jack wasn’t able to attend himself, the couple confirmed he ‘commemorated it privately’ with ‘generous’ words.
Rivkah Reyes, who played Katie in the film, uploaded a TikTok with clips from the day set to Stevie Nicks’ Edge of Seventeen (a nod to the movie).
‘Celebrating the marriage of Caitlin and Angelo with my forever fam,’ Rivkah captioned the video.
The video showed the cast sitting together at the table, taking glam photos and having a boogie on the dance floor, before ending with a shot of the happy couple.
Caitlin also recalled a ‘time capsule’ moment, adding: ‘We were just dancing together to some old-school disco and then there was some sort of ad-lib in the song and we all just hit it.
‘We looked at each other and we’re like, ‘That just happened. We still got it.’

Meanwhile, Rivkah told Hearst Connecticut: ‘We’ve always remained close after filming and it’s rare that we all get together.
‘I’m grateful to have not only witnessed the union of two of my dear friends of 20+ years, but also getting to catch up with my bandmates.’
The other stars present included Brian Falduto (Billy), Joey Gaydos Jr. (Zack), Robert Tsai (Lawrence), Maryam Hassan (Tomika), Aleisha Allen (Alicia), Cole Hawkins (Leonard), Z Infante (Gordon) and James Hosey (Marco).
2023 marked two decades since School of Rock came out and Miranda reflected on the anniversary with Metro.
Talking about filming with Jack, she said: ‘I didn’t know what improv was until I saw Jack Black change it up so many times when we were doing the classroom scenes.
‘He would always do something different. So it kept everybody on their toes and excited waiting to see what he was going to do next.
‘I think it made a lot of that feel real because we really are all like, “What’s he gonna do?” and laughing. A lot of those reactions are just natural.’
