Jay

IN MEMORY OF OUR BIGGEST SUPPORTER & OUR FAVORITE PERSON

As they dedicate their lives to each other; they dedicate this celebration in loving memory of Anthony’s cousin Jay. Although he was Anthony’s family, Jay’s favorite person was always Kayla. From the minute he met her, they clicked, and Anthony was given immediate approval to marry her before he even thought about it. Jay was the couples biggest supporter and #1 cheerleader! Anthony believes that Jay was more excited for this day than he was! He spent countless hours helping Anthony and Michael plan a bachelor party that; as Jay put it- “Would make The Hangover proud”. Although Jay is not physically present, Kayla and Anthony carry his memory and personality with them everywhere they go. Expect his love, wittiness, sarcasm and deep approval to be on full display this evening. Along with gifts, Anthony and Kayla are asking that you consider making a donation to the American Federation for suicide prevention in Jay’s honor.
