Love ya bro!" Jess wanted to say: "TimHeeeeeeeeey!" lol

Tiffany Swartz

Matron of Honor

Tiffy! Jessica- "It all started almost a decade ago. When we first met, you definately thought I was a B****(her words, not mine haha). After that, we quickly figured out we are so much alike. We are skeptical and don't trust easily, so it's a pretty big deal to decide on a lifelong friend. I am so thankful that we met and became such good friends! I am so honored to have you stand with me on our special day, Love ya Tiff!"

Jessica- "Bel- my crazy, beautiful, Dominican friend(haha)! I love you like a sister, and auntie Jess loves her nieces! How have we been best friends for over 12 years? I can truly tell you anything without judgement. What I cherish the most, is that you and I can pick up right where we left off. We have both lived in different states and always kept our friendship going. We were roomies when you found out you were pregnant with your first child and I feel so privileged to have been there for that! Thank you for being there for me on our special day!"

Zach Akenberger

Samantha Nowicki

Bridesmaid

Cousin of the Bride. Jessica- "Sam! You are my little cousin, but we grew up like sisters. We probably saw eachother every day as kids, and we were always outside playing in the dirt or having an adventure....the good old days! Maybe we were around eachother too much, cause we definitely fought like sisters a few times (sorry G'ma 😄). We dont get to spend every day together anymore (adulting sucks), but we are still close and I cherish just how close we were able to be! So glad you can stand with me on our special day."

I usually get younger, so everyone knows lol! I treat him and look at him as my little bro and will continue to do so the rest of my life!

Brianna Nowicki

Bridesmaid

Cousin of the Bride. Jessica- "Bria-Maria! You are my little cousin and God sister but we also grew up just like sisters! Me, you and Sam were quite the trio and those are some of my fondest memories! You gals slept over on school nights, and I at your house. I will never forget your poor hair with that crazy knot you always woke up with, haha! Growing up sucks, but I feel so privileged to have grown up with such awesome family, and I am happy to have you stand with me on our special day! Love you, Bri!"

He's one of my brothers simple as that!"

I held you, fed you and changed your stinky diaper 😄. You were always so excited to spend the weekend with me, but not as much as I was. I think your favorite part is when I took you for ice cream and bought you new hot wheels, haha. Now you're growing up, getting more responsibilities and I am so proud of the man you are becoming! You are such a good kid, you kind of remind me, of me 😂. I remember when you told me you approved of Alex, and I valued your opinion. Even as a kid, you were a good judge of character. Now you two like to tease me together, not fair! I'm honored to have you stand up with us on our special day! Love you Bud!"

You are also one of the most caring people I have yet to meet! Noone on earth is perfect, but to me, you are it. You have always cared for and protected me, like a momma lion! You even went to bat for my friends and took care of them like your own. As a kid, you made our home a loving, fun and safe place. Everyone wanted to be at our house, and didn't want to leave. I am so thankful, you are the mom God chose for me!"

I have watched you jump in and help every and anyone who needs help. If you can provide it, you give it. You never had things easy, but you always find a solution and get things done.

Even when we bump heads it doesn't change the love and respect we have for one another. I love you pops and hope to always make you proud!

Andrea Lee Cullenen

In Memory of

Alex-" My big sis Andi! There's not a day that goes by something reminds me of her. She might have been a spit fire and wild, but she was my crazy big sis that I love and miss everyday. Still can't figure out why she was taken so young. It always brings the tears thinking about it. Not having you in my life is something I cope with, but wish I didn't have to... I hope all the pain is gone... Hope you are in a better place looking down while looking out for us the best that you can. Hope you find the time to check in on us on our big day. Wish you could have met Jessica. You would love her. I Love You Sis and and always will!
