Wedding Party
Isabella Swiecicki
Maid of Honor

Myles Mears
Best Man
“Sexiest man alive.” -Esquire “Hubba hubba.” -GQ Myles & Jay go WAY back, baby. Think middle-school-way-back. He’s lived in London for so long that he’s awaiting his frankly overdue dukedom, but has remained one of Jay’s truly closest friends, travel buds, and wine-soaked philosophy compatriots. Myles is an art curator and lives in Greenwich with his lovely wife, Rose, and is just an all-around G. He doesn’t have any embarrassing stories about Jay, so don’t ask.
Elizabeth Lane
Officiant & Bridesmaid
To know Lizzy is to love Lizzy, which is why she is not only officiating J&J's wedding but an honorary bridesmaid. Truly a renaissance woman, Lizzy is a creative, holistic practitioner, former nurse, and Farm Club VP. Currently based in Traverse City but originally from the Metro Detroit area, Lizzy lives with her cat son Santa in a sweet little house downtown.
Dusty Mensinger
Groomsman
“Many moons.” -Ancient tribal wisdom “To thine own self be true.” -Dolly Parton Dusty & Jay met a long time back, in the courtyard of a dive bar as chance would have it, and have been like brothers ever since. They even argue like brothers from time to time, but that is much more the exception than it is the rule. From writing music to singing as loud as we could down the streets, from making dozen-egg omelets to touring swaths of the country in a band, Dusty & Jay have been brothers through a lot of life. Dusty lives in Detroit and is currently tending bar at Alpino. It is our great pleasure to have him as one of Jay’s groomsmen.
Grace Guba
Bridesmaid
Essentially the unofficial Mayor of Traverse City, Grace is your go-to girl for any and all information about our faire Fresh Coast. Need your hair done? Grace has her own salon. Want an invigorating yoga class? She can do that, too. She is also an avid sailor, artist, and outdoorswoman. Born and bred in TC, Grace lives with her partner, Sean, and their two fur-children: Baby Girl and Romeo.
Adam Niemara
Groomsman
“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” -Marcus Aurelius “Some yards is better than none yards.” -John Madden If you look up the word, “homies” in Merriam Webster a very flattering picture of Adam and Jay is what shows up. You don’t have to actually look it up. Just take my word for it. Adam has been one of Jay’s best friends from “the band years” through “the dad years.” Never mind that they’re not dads yet; they live like dads now, and it’s beautiful. Adam lives in Royal Oak and is an amazing tattoo artist, a Detroit Lions junkie, and just an awesome friend and person.
