Wedding Party
Jessica Bell
Virtual maid of honor
Jess is so much more than just Aimee's best friend - she's family. Aimee can't express in words just how much Jess means to her. Jess is her rock, her home, her everything and so much more. If Aimee had it her way, Jess would live with her and Ian in California and the three of them would live happily ever after. Aimee would be lost without Jess.
Bernise Alviar
Virtual bridesmaid
"Alvz" was Aimee's best gal-pal when Aimee lived in Sydney. They did EVERYTHING together! They spent so much time together that they started dressing the same (and still do). They have shared so many milestones together; started their careers together, backpacked across Europe together, moved overseas to begin their expat lives at the same time, and even got engaged in the same year!
Regina Angara
Virtual bridesmaid
"Ate Gina" is Aimee's kindred spirit soul sister. Aimee is her happiest when she is around Gina - these two bounce off each other like there is no tomorrow - you can hear them laughing from a mile away! They are always there for each and can't imagine their lives without each other. They share a love for Hawaii, hats and everything OTT.
Isabelle Joussemet
Virtual bridesmaid
"Izzy Wizzy" is such an important friend to Aimee. They started their careers together in Sydney and have always had an exclusive, special friendship. Their favorite day is Tuesday - when Aimee lived in Sydney they vowed to have lunch together every single Tuesday and did so for five years! When Aimee moved overseas, they kept their tradition alive by making sure they call each other every Tuesday.
Vanessa Chavannes
Virtual bridesmaid
Vanessa is Aimee's "boo". Vanessa taught Aimee how to be a New Yorker and Aimee's NY experience would not have been the same if it wasn't for her girl V. They took Sunday brunches to the next level - they can talk for hours and hours - every Sunday brunch turned into full day excursion. Vanessa was the first of Aimee's friends to meet Ian in person (and she approved straight away!)
Nicole Obaldo
Virtual bridesmaid
Nicole is Aimee's big cousin, she's the closest thing to a big sister. They grew up together in Geelong - they were joint at the hip when they were little so Aimee was devastated when Nicole had to move to the other side of Australia when they were teenagers. Nicole can always make Aimee laugh, especially when they're imitating their parents Filipino accents
Adriana Gourian
Bridesmaid
Adriana is an absolute blessing in Aimee’s life. They came into each other’s lives at the exact right time - and ever since Aimee moved to California, their friendship has blossomed x1000! They take every chance they can to get away from the boys because they love their "girl time" - these two can chat for hours and hours and it's still not enough! Adriana has also been instrumental in helping Aimee heal and live a life full of positive energy. Aimee is so incredibly thrilled that Adriana can be there in person on the special day.
Justin Tehrani
Groomsman
Justin or "Taji" was amongst Ian's first friends when he moved to Pine Valley Road in 2000. Justin and Ian first met on the bus to school after Justin saw Ian drinking a Coca Cola in the morning, then asking if he had any Diet Cokes for him. Since then, they've had so many amazing times and firmly believe Marios Pizza in Oyster Bay makes the best Buffalo Chicken slice known to man. Brothers ever since, they never lost touch when Ian went to college and even when he moved to across the country. After countless great times and memories, they now both live in California and never forget, "we may live in California, but we from New York." Hopefully they'll find great bagels one day.
Andrew Helme
Virtual groomsman
Andrew or "Mr. Helmet", was also amongst Ian's first friends when Ian moved to Pine Valley Road, once again meeting on the bus to school. Another only child, Andrew and Ian quickly became brothers. Seemingly always in a good mood, a proud father, and an old man trapped in 30 year olds body, Andrew is a riot and has consistently enjoys old man things like falling asleep at 9 (even before the baby). While they might be on opposite sides of the country, they catch up every week so Ian can see his baby niece Cora.
Ahmed Madry
Virtual groomsman
Ahmed Clint Madry (inside joke, his middle name isn't Clint). Ahmed and Ian met during an internship at JP Morgan Chase the summer after Junior year of college. A patented NYer and die hard Yankee fan, Ahmed and Ian have been best friends ever since that internship, despite his misguided faith in the New York Jets (Ian's a Giants fan). Ahmed and Ian both love travel and food and have even taken numerous trips together to Europe, Mexico, and Columbia. One day they'll complete their quest of combining Shawarma with Pizza, to form the most epic of meals.
Chad Furey
Virtual groomsman
Chad or "Chayyddd" and Ian met their freshman year of college on Sadler one, their dorm. They joined the same fraternity and were roommates almost every year from their Sophomore year in 2006 to living on Avenue C until 2013. Chad and Ian have been best friends ever since those first days on Sadler one and is easily one of the funniest people he knows. From his one liners, to his remarkable ability to fall asleep anywhere (seriously, how bro?). He possesses a love of Guinness like any good Irish lad should and is a die hard Boston sports fan.
Algerson Andre
Virtual groomsman
Algerson Andre aka “Dre” is Ian’s Marvel movie loving, Rush Hour quoting, small portions at restaurants ordering best friend. Dre and Ian have seen countless Marvel movies together and quote Rush Hour as often as possible. “You, me, everyone up in here..him”. They went to college together and both lived in NYC, with far too many great times to list. He’s always been one of Ian’s go to people for advice or to grab a beer and just catch up. Dre lives in Buffalo now, but they still catch up on a regular basis. He is also getting married soon, which Ian can’t wait for.
Daniel Davidson
Virtual groomsman
Daniel Shalom Davidson. Yes thats his middle name and its glorious so I'll never NOT bring it up. Daniel and Ian have known each other since they were two years old and quickly became best friends and brothers. Since their moms were/are best friends, Daniel and Ian hung out all the time and even went on countless adventures together. They went to Spain for a month parent-free, took a teen tour across the country at 16, and even went to the same college. Daniel is a soon to be Dad and Ian couldn't be more excited for him.
James Quartuccio
Virtual groomsman
James Quartuccio is one of Ian's closest friends from High School. While they don't hang out as often as they would like, James is one of those guys where when they do hang out, it's like no time has passed. James and Ian have had many great times from crushing massive egg sandwiches and Iced Teas at Long Island Delis to Atlantic City runs and everything in between. James is now a proud dad to Luca and resides in Long Island. One of these days, we'll have to get James and family to travel out west to California to visit Justin and Ian.
Lois Obaldo
Virtual flower girl
Lois is Aimee and Ian's beautiful niece and goddaughter - she's the Apple of the Obaldo family's eye. Lois lives in Geelong, Australia and turns three in May. Lois lights up every room and is Aimee and Ian's absolute favorite little girl in the whole world. They can't wait to see Lois again (hopefully soon)!
