Jaclyn & Wesley are Getting Married!!
Wedding Party
Melissa Fuhrman
Maid of Honor
Melissa is Jaclyn's best friend since the pair met in Spanish class in middle school. Over the years, they've had fun doing everything from beach vacations and amusement parks to laughing the night away at sleepovers. Melissa has been called "the logical one" to Jac's "crazy one". They still enjoy when they can get together but also love staying in touch via snapchats of their pets.
John DeBouter
Groomsman
John is Jaclyn's younger brother. They remember growing up playing Rockband in their parents' basement, screaming on thrill rides at amusement parks, and eating clam chowder on LBI. Growing up, Johnny was seen as "the jock" and Jaclyn "the artsy one", but the two actually have a lot in common, such as, their love of dogs, the great outdoors, and antacids. The two are excited to spend more time together now that Jaclyn is back in NJ.
Lola Gatti
Bridesmaid
Lola is Wesley's cousin. Along with their siblings, they remember adventuring as children on Long Island during the summer and causing a splash in the Long Island sound. They don't get together often since they live in different states, but they have always looked forward to spending time together during the holidays at Nana and Dede's house. Ever since Jaclyn started to come to the holidays, she looks forward to catching up with Lola about everything from life, music, and what fantasy media they're currently loving.
Alex Roth
Groomsman
Alex is Wesley's older brother. Some of Wesley's fondest childhood memories are when he and Alex would play and go on pretend adventures with their cat Hobbes who would allow the very young boys to hold and move him around however they pleased. Although they don't play pretend anymore, Wesley still loves his fun-loving and outgoing brother. Both Wesley and Jaclyn are grateful for Alex's support with Wesley's career change which was the catalyst in moving back to NJ!
Stella Gatti
Bridesmaid
Stella is Wesley's cousin. Although Stella is the youngest of their group of cousins, Wesley remembers growing up with Stella and playing a lot of games together. When the cousins would get together (usually at Nana's), Stella would be leading the decision about what game was to be played whether it was cards or imagination-based. Jaclyn fondly remembers Stella excitedly starting a game of charades during the first Roth family Thanksgiving she attended. Now that they are adults, they still love to play games and make everyone around them smile.
Dan Roth
Groomsman
Dan is Wesley's oldest brother. When they were kids, Wes learned about his favorite video games from watching Dan (a love that the two of them still share). Wesley loves his brother's sense of humor, that he is very caring (although he has a tough exterior), and how he is always down for a "friendly" debate about anything. After living on Long Island for awhile, Dan moved to Vermont to be roommates with Wesley, and then Jac moved in too. Dan still lives in Vermont with his wife Becky.
Jonathan Rosen
Bridesman
Jon has been one of Jaclyn's closest friends since they met at SUNY Cortland through Jaclyn's roommates her freshman year. They both grew closer over the years through long nights of laughter, concocting food in tiny kitchens, and community service through their fraternity. Since college, they've enjoyed spending time chatting on the phone (which kept them sane during the pandemic), analyzing their favorite media (very often with Wesley), and exploring Vermont during the fall foliage seasons.
Will Nedds
Groomsman
Will is Wesley's best friend. The pair met in kindergarten. They had fun as kids playing video games, playing outside, and camping with Boy Scouts. Jaclyn met Will through church, and then the two became more friendly through class and their other friends. In high school, they had Pokémon battles during study period and goofed off in computer class. Will was the one who encouraged Wesley to move to Vermont as one of his roommates and showed him around Burlington. The two lived together in Vermont for several years and still try to get together when they're in the same state.
