She is everyone's cheerleader and the most thoughtful person you will ever meet. She has a bubbly and loving personality that puts others at ease, and she will tell you the longest story you've ever heard from a 5 minute interaction. She is the fighter for the little man, and will even eat something she hates for someone she loves (i.e white truffle tortellini). Jess is the best and Andrea is very lucky to call her, her sister.

Vic loves soccer and will soon be a lawyer. This Brazilian native has always had my back and we have spent many Thanksgiving's together on Staten Island. We've hosted some legendary events and celebrating is his specialty. This wedding will be one for the books, for sure. Vic will be playing the Man of Honor in this production.

All of Andrea's college memories involve Leslie; whether it was late night shenanigans, meals at the Commons, Holiday celebrations, movie marathons, all of it. With Leslie by our side, our wedding day will be even more special!
