Dani & Lee
Wedding Party
Rachel
Matron of Honor
Rachel is Dani’s quintessential college best friend. They met at Moravian College where they soon found they had a ridiculous amount in common and both are convinced they wouldn’t have made it to graduation without the other. These 2 ladies even had their babies at almost the same time and were eachother’s birthing assistant more than once. They have the I’ll hold the cheeks while you wipe the ass kind of relationship; and bonds like that can’t be broken. Dani is Godmother to Rachel’s 4 children. Rachel is Godmother to Joshua.
Matthew
Best Man
Lee met Matt shortly after birth, and knew him as his older brother. Shortly thereafter Matt coined the phrase "stupid baby" and never let the opportunity pass to sneak that one in... And so the childhood rivalry was born. They drove and pushed eachother to the men they are today forming an unbreakable bond that will carry for the rest of their lives. For the record, Lee won every competition they ever had... ever.
Heather
Maid of Honor
Dani and Heather met at Harrison High School in their freshman year all the way back in the 1990’s, but whose keeping track?! Luckily for them, they had the same homeroom teacher and a lot of the same classes. They instantly clicked and became best friends while throwing spears around in History class and sharing Algebra homework. Heather is the Godmother of Dani & Lee’s daughter, Julie.
Zachary
Groomsman
Lee met Zac when he was just three years old. He was first just a customer coming in to Bagel Heaven with his beautiful mother. Lee started giving Zac free food because he was that cool of a kid. Then, one thing led to another and shortly after, they were making pizza out of bagel dough at home while watching "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas." Over the years they've gone through multple moves, plenty of sports, and lots of games. Zac and Lee have been like family, and Lee is eager to make it official.
Rinskie
Bridesmaid
Rinskie and Dani met at Monmouth Medical Center, where they both currently work as OB Nurses. They had an instant best work friend relationship which spilled outside of work and into the real world as well. There is something about nurse relationships that have a way of making people close.
Sean
Groomsman
Just when Lee was getting the hang of dealing with one brother, Sean seemingly came out of nowhere. This added someone Lee could be a role model for and teach things to, but Lee chose to do none of that. Despite that, Sean grew up along side Lee and their siblings creating countless memories. Sean was the first person close to Lee who went against the norm more times than they can count, and helped teach Lee how to deal with choices that don't always make sense to him; a skill desperately needed to make things work with Dani.
Janis
Bridesmaid
Funny story.... From the outside looking in, many would think Dani and Janis should not be friends, but that could not be further from the truth! These two ladies met through a mutual best friend and quickly found they have a ton in common and thoroughly enjoy each other’s company. It’s the kind of friendship that feels like it has been there forever.
Kevin
Groomsman
Kevin is Lee's youngest brother and unfortunately met when Lee was old enough to start changing diapers... which forms a bond not too hard to break. But in spite of it, Kevin was determined to keep up with all of his older brothers. This filled childhood with countless hilarious encounters that still get told around the dinner table to date. Kevin and Lee grew up together forming the bond they have today, which holds up better than diaper changing duty bonds.
Lola
Bridesmaid
Lola and Dani met at Monmouth Medical Center when Lola transferred onto Dani’s floor. The two bonded quickly over IV’s, Telemetry Strips, Babies, and a garbage can. Don’t ask. Hehe. It was clear though from Day 1 that these ladies had each other’s backs and always would. The fact remains, there is something to be said about nurse relationships....
Jameson
Groomsman
Lee met Jamie (Dani's brother) when he was just twelve years young. Dani shared countless childhood stories of the two growing up together which made Lee feel like he knew him from the start. From adventures in sleepovers to summer vacations with flooding hotel rooms and saving sea turtles, Jamie has been a solid constant through Dani and Lee's adventure together. Lee is excited to add JT as another brother in his family.
Julie
Junior Bridesmaid
Dani has known Julie since shortly after conception, when all Julie did was make Dani vomit. Despite all the puking, Dani has been in love with Julie since day 1. Julie is a self-proclaimed Mini-Dani and proud of it.
Joshua
Ring Security
Lee and Josh first met while Josh was taking a short swim in a small in-home pool. They were instant best buddies. Six years later, Josh and Lee are still best buddies. Lee taught Josh all the skills he would ever need to melt his mom's heart, and he sure takes it to the extreme! Josh took these skills to the next level and now they leverage this as a secret agent with the inside scoop that Josh informs Lee on consistantly. It's the perfect relationship. Lee gets info and Dani gets never ending cuddles and hair twirling. Happily Josh will be assisting in bringing his parents together for their happily ever after.
Arielle
Junior Bridesmaid
Similar to Julie, Dani has known Arielle from shortly after conception when what was thought to be a stomach bug only ever affected Dani and didn’t go away. Dani has been in love with Arielle ever since. Arielle is very much the Daddy’s girl but undeniably gets some things from her Mama.
Gavin
Co-Ring Security
Gavin is Dani and Lee's last child, seriously. No, really, he is. He is the sweetest little boy that makes them smile each and every day. He is often found getting into trouble with his big brothers or cuddling with his Mama or sisters. Dani and Lee hope Gavin makes it down the aisle before taking his tux off... this cutie just loves to run free!
Leah
Flower Girl
Leah is Rachel’s beautiful only daughter. Dani knew Leah was in her Mama’s belly before her Mommy did. Dani was blessed to be a part of Leah’s birth and share in the special moments. Leah is Dani’s God-daughter.
