Jess & Enzo
Wedding Party
Cherrie Broome
Mother of the Bride
Cherrie like the fruit is Jess' gorgeous mother! She loves reading crime thrillers, playing tennis and lounging by the pool. She is the mother of four beautiful children. She is the reason they are so competitive. She coaches tennis and is a high school teacher. She lives with her husband Jim in Lawrenceville, GA. Ask her to talk about roadkill, her favorite subject! She'll probably beat you in tennis - good luck!
Jerry Geiger
Father of the Bride
Jerry is Jess' loving father. He is the father of four fabulous children. He is notorious for tying Jess' right hand behind her back with a belt so that she would learn left hand layups! No wonder she is the best in the family at basketball. Jerry lives in Griffin, GA with his girlfriend Peggy. He works in construction now, but talk to him about your carpet or hardwood project, he knows all the flooring details! Jerry will be sure to make you laugh and maybe be in awe at his dance moves - still got it at 60 years old!
Allison de Mello
Mother of the Groom
Allison is Enzo's gorgeous mother. She loves thrifting, home décor and anything with the sea. Their house in Millbury, MA (CasadeMello - own Instagram handle) has a following! She lives with her husband Elker & spends most days with her grandson Tully. We would call her a tiki head and former mod, but you'll have to ask her about her life in CA and even Hawaii! She is the craftiest person we know. We love Allison for keeping this tribe together!
Elker de Mello
Father of the Groom
You may be asking yourself - who is this model? Elker is Enzo's dad. His family moved to the US from Brazil. Elker and Allison grew up in San Diego, CA and now reside in Millbury, MA. If you have any home project, ask Elker - he always needs a new task! Elker is a vintage scooter collector - see if you can convince him to gift us one! He is a hardworking union man, like father like son! Elker is known to talk to anyone, not so New England of him, so grab yourself a drink and a conversation with him!

Sara is the life of the party! Jess' older sister (but much shorter) will not only be the matron of honor, but will officiate the wedding. Sara lives with her husband Gary in Atlanta, GA. They are Falcons and Packers (ew) fans. She is an amazing teacher and coach - probably going on her 100th soccer state championship this year! Sara is the most competitive person we know, so be sure to challenge her to anything during the wedding weekend. Late night pool race? Watch for her on the dance floor - she has some *classic* moves!

Matt Bond
Best Man
Matt and Enzo first met on the Nerf Battlefields of UMass Dartmouth when Matt's team was down a player, and they became fast friends afterwards. They would mostly hang out and talk about their esoteric music and film tastes, and catch live shows on campus when they could. After collage, they spent many nights in the basement of a game store playing Warhammer and catching shows when they could. Matt has been grinding away at a prodigious amount of musical projects since then, and is always down to talk about any kind of music! Matt lives in Boston, Ma with his fiancée Jill, who has been his travel partner for their trips abroad!

Watch out for him on that dance floor!

Cameron DiGregorio
Groomsman
Cameron and Enzo first bumped into each other in the first few weeks of their time at UMass Dartmouth, in the chaos that was the Freshman Quad. When the mutual interests started to pile up, it was clear that they would be solid friends over the years. After many years of playing Dungeons & Dragons, board games, and card games, they are constantly sending each other new games to try to convince each other to buy and run (I swear I'll run something as soon as we finish planning this Wedding!) Cam lives in Boston, MA with his wonderful girlfriend Tori, and their two cats Mal and Kaylee, where he works as a Software Developer. If you're looking for the next game to play with some friends just ask him!
Tyler Christmas
Groomsman
Tyler and Enzo first met after Enzo and Jess had moved from Boston to Atlanta, through the Swoops Moped Gang, that had welcomed them with open arms. Tyler had been a longtime friend of the Swoops and they fell into step with working on, riding, and going to moped Rallies across the Southeastern US. When Tyler moved to Atlanta, they were at every Tuesday night ride, and hung out at the old shop spot when they could. Tyler lives in Atlanta with his Fiancée Kayla and co-owns DOScycles, the premier importer of two stroke performance parts!
Andy Simpson
Groomsman
Andy was one of the first members of the Swoops Moped Gang that Jess and Enzo met when they arrived in Atlanta, at one of their Sunday family dinners. Andy welcomed the couple with open arms and was always down to hang out, either getting a burger in East Atlanta, or needing someone to drive out to the middle of no where to pick up a rare Puch dirtbike to ship off to California for a friend. After the chaos of the first moped rally they went to together, Andy knew Enzo would fit in. Andy lives in Decatur, GA with his lovely girlfriend Mallory, and their two pups, Abner and Mort.
