Bridesmaid
Jenny (aka 'Other Jeni/nny' / aka Big J) and I met in college and we very quickly became known as "The Jennies." Our love of nicknames for one another over the years is just as strong as the love of our friendship. There is no one else I would rather share a very common name with--because we make it unique!

Blake and I have jumped out of a plane together and gone to Nigeria for work together. Nuff said.
Bridesmaid
Lisa and I first met thanks to fellow bridesmaid, Alla! We were both in her wedding party and became fast friends, embarking on many adventures in LA and quite a few trips to Mexico. Laughter, “tiny hands,” and matching fedoras always await us.
Groomsman
Michael and I go waaayyyy back. Fun fact, when Michael got his license, he wanted to use me as the first in-car turn-by-turn navigation system (I was only 11 at the time).
Bridesmaid
Katie (aka 'Moomie') will forever be known as my roommate. Even though we haven't lived together for (eek!) 8 years now, the fact that we were roomies for a full decade (college and beyond in DC) pretty much makes us the coolest pair of friends ever. And if you don't believe us, ask to see photos of our epic roommate 'annivorcesary' party. That's friendship, folks.
Groomsman
I'll say it here, I am David's Best Former Boss (self-awarded by me)! I met David through a mutual friend recommending him for a job at work. We became fast friends and fun fact, we have celebrated four separate consecutive New Years Eves together.
Bridesmaid
Alla and I go all the way back to high school together, just in case you can't tell from this awesome prom pic! We once had a substitute teacher in Physics who left a "formula" for our teacher about us: Alla + Jeni = Chatterboxes -> Infinity. I think he summed up our friendship quite well, actually, because we have always been there for each other and we definitely love to talk.
Groomsman
Mike and I have known each other way too long (35 years at least)! From pre-school until now, we have remained close friends and he knows where all the bones are buried.
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I raised our first child together...a mighty plant named TreeDiddy. In the past decade, we have worked together (woot U.S. Chamber family!) and thrown many-a-great theme party together. My love of her rivals my love of pop culture, and that's a lot. And oh yeah, no biggie but she is also responsible for my marriage (thanks for introducing us!).
Groomsman
Shimon and I go back to our USY days in high school. Shimon was the nice kid who volunteered to give a complete stranger a ride to shul to go to Disney Day and we've been friends since. I don't think there is anyone else that could have pulled off doing a serious on-camera interview about praying sitting inside an empty refrigerator.
Flower Girl & Mom
Shoshana is our niece who will steal the show with her cuteness!
Sister of the Groom
Jeannie shares the role of knowing me the longest with Michael, but she beats Michael in terms of longest roommate!
