Mother of the Bride
For most people being called your mother is an insult, but that has never been the case with Hannah and Leslie. Being called a "mini Leslie" has always brought a smile to Hannah's face because of the kind, generous and nurturing person her mother is. She gives her whole self to others and is truly one of Hannah, and Jon's best friends.

Barbara is a powerhouse: a Jewish lawyer from New Jersey who put in decades of hard work, tireless advocacy, and maybe a few too many late nights to provide for her family and her clients. While she finally claims to be retired, anyone who knows Barbara knows she’s never truly off-duty. Fiercely loving and endlessly patient, Barbara has always been Jon’s biggest champion—even when he gave her plenty of reasons to question her sanity. She and Ray adopted Jon when he was just 15 months old, and from that moment on, her life has been filled with love, chaos, and more than a few eye rolls. She is one of the most loving and generous souls Jon and Hannah have ever met.
Father of the Groom
Ray is the quiet force behind Jon's love of dad jokes—warm, witty, and always ready with a punchline (whether you ask for one or not).

Ray has been a loving father, an expert joke-teller, and the source of Jon’s punny sense of humor ever since. Beneath the humor is a true softy with deep kindness and unwavering support for his family. Ray’s warmth and laugh are constants in Jon’s life, and now, they’re part of Hannah's life too.
