Wedding Party
Jenna Principe
Bride
You'll find her crying at any sentimental moment and living it up in the middle of the dance floor.
Martin Abou
Groom
You'll find him cracking a joke at every chance and pretending to know how to dance.
Ashlyn Prendergast
Maid of Honor
Jenna's best friend/ college roomie, the queen of good vibes, and the dynamic other half of the iconic APxJP duo! Favorite memories include: the countless times the two of them danced the night away at Moonshine Beach, San Jose sleepover snuggles, indulging in our mutual zest for life, deep spiritual talks, traveling the world together, our "go big or go home" girls' weekends, Eras Tour x2, and the infamous wood-fire pizza incident of 2017 (ask her about it at the wedding)!
Marvin Abou
Best Man
Martin's older brother and Irish twin. Favorite memories include: shaving each others' heads when we lived in Greece right after we got back from the barber shop with bowl cuts, walking to school together everyday growing up, strategically distracting our parents while we snuck out in high school, teaching ourselves how to fix anything, house remodel projects, and our many surfing & camping trips.
Megan Ellis
Bridesmaid
Jenna's cousin, master of the worm, and the sister she never had! Favorite memories include: Sunday softball games and hundreds of summer sleepovers where we'd beg our parents to extend our streak, talking on the phone all the time to play webkinz and club penguin, choreographing dances to broadway ballads, long summer pool days, late night breakfast-for-dinner at Denny's, binge watching our favorite shows, giggling nonstop, and pranking our other cousins.
Azal Abbo
Groomsman
Martin's cousin. Favorite memories include: ganging up against Azal with Marvin and the other cousins to get him in trouble, pranks, living together for a year, having him drive us to school when he first got his license and blasting the subwoofers, unintentionally giving him poisonous leaves as toilet paper in the woods, and watching him become a dad to the cutest baby, Amelia.
Gracie McEwen
Bridesmaid
Jenna's cousin, the gal who keeps her up to date on Gen-z lingo, and another sister she never had. Favorite memories include: sneaking into the hospital to meet her when she was born, rehearsing homemade dance choreography for hours, craft days, playing 'Just Dance' on the Wii ALL the time, visiting her at UCLA while pretending to be a college student, our trip to Japan, the Easter bunny saga of '04.
Joey Abou
Groomsman
Martin's cousin. Favorite memories include: meeting him for the first time in Mexico when we were immigrating to America, running after him on his electric scooter to get candy at the corner market, living together in college, beating him in basketball and seeing how mad he got, teaching me his electrician skills, and our many national park trips.
Naomi Ellis
Bridesmaid
Jenna's cousin, an undercover comedian, and the third sister she never had. Favorite memories include: middle school volleyball, backyard hide-and-seek, professional-level dedication to our annual Christmas cookie decorating, always prioritizing our quality time over studying for tests when she was in high school, DIY gel nails, and witnessing her become an NCAA Women's Soccer champ!
Peter Daghaly
Groomsman
Martin's cousin. Favorite memories include: watching him be super hyper as a kid and being able to keep up with our energy, always wanting to hang out with us even though he was way younger, only eating pepperoni pizza and never our traditional Chaldean food, our Joshua tree camping trip in the snow with Jenna and Matty, and having him as my go-to for learning anything new about tech.
Brielle Hessinger
Bridesmaid
Jenna's childhood friend and neighbor, she's equal parts sweet and hilarious. Favorite memories include: Carpooling to school, Brielle always acting as an instigator to Jenna's "goody goody" personality, Stagecoach x2, communicating exclusively through memes, taking care of each other during wisdom teeth removal, Bahamas spring break 2014, jenga olympics, Brielle always wanting to go ice blocking, and indulging in whatever latest shenanigan Brielle has schemed up that day. Fun fact: Brielle and her parents always called Jenna "Jennaboo" growing up and now she actually will be Jennaboo (Jenna Abou)!
Ryan Gorski
Groomsman
Martin's best friend and high school football teammate. Favorite memories include: Gorski getting pissed every time we allowed him to get sacked, the many parties at this house that Lisa would throw, dirt biking together in high school, running everyday together in college and getting in the best shape of our lives (and then losing all our progress after getting girlfriends), and watching him become a dad to the cutest baby, Scottie.
Rachel Taber
Bridesmaid
Jenna's college friend and the LC to her Audrina. Favorite memories include: wine bars with Nanc, obsessively studying together for tests we were already prepared for, senior year saga, facetimes from 5000 miles away, talking politics and world affairs, sipping Guinness in the Hampstead pub, and our unforgettable Vegas trip with Martin and Daniel. "Life is not a sprint, it's a marathon."
Daniel Vandewiele
Groomsman
Martin's good friend and former co-worker. Favorite memories include: building robots at Brain Corp, asking Daniel any question on a topic I want to learn and getting all the information I could have ever needed, Mammoth ski trips, river trips, living out our cowboy dreams in Montana, and watching him become a dad to the cutest baby, Colby.
Shaina Gulati
Bridesmaid
Jenna's friend and college roommate. Favorite memories include: being inseparable during our freshman year of college, True Foods dinners, over-dramatized weekend debriefs, creating hilarious snapchat stories, trying to become vine famous, our epic travels to Cabo, Bali, and Singapore. Hiking a volcano at 3am. Bintangs in Bali. "Si se puedeeeee!"
David Gorial
Groomsman
Martin's family friend and pseudo cousin. Favorite memories include: playing at the park as kids while our parents gossiped, David always being the life of the party and the loudest person in the room, mimicking any of our uncles' middle-easter accents perfectly, teaching me new Chaldean words, and dancing at every party.
Brooke Collins
Bridesmaid
Jenna's childhood bestie! Favorite memories include: dramatic dress up photoshoots, birthday sleepovers, fully committing to every theme, watching "Devil Wears Prada" for that 800th time, pool days stocked with every TJ's snack imaginable, scream-singing to early 2000's songs with the windows rolled down, late night talks, going to Sephora at 12 to buy new lip gloss, finding niche comedy youtube videos and then quoting them for decades.
Jacob Gorial
Groomsman
Martin's family friend and pseudo cousin. Favorite memories include: both of us being spoiled as kids because we were the youngest siblings, teaming up against our older brothers, his dad always taking us to get fast food because Jacob wanted it, not being the last one at family events because Jacob was always even later, his epic wedding in Cabo.
Christopher Principe
Officiant
Jenna's older brother and the person she's always looked up to, sought advice from and wanted to emulate. He's brilliant, hilarious, and wise - and always her shoulder to lean on. Favorite memories include: staying up all night waiting for Santa every year, playing legos, our endless love for the "Need for Speed" computer game, letting me come play when your friends were over even though it was most certainly annoying, arguing over who mom loved more, family road trips with the in-car DVD player, watching you become a dad this year to my niece (and the love of my life), Parker, and too many more to count. We couldn't think of a better person to lead our ceremony and we're so grateful!
