Jessica & Alec
Wedding Party
Jamie
Maid of Honor
Jamie is Jess's younger sister- not so little as she is taller than Jess. Although most of their room sharing days was arguing, there was no doubt Jamie was going to be the right hand decision lady for the big day! Jamie has always been Jess's go to for decision making as Jess is the most indecisive person in the world. Jamie and Jess spent their childhood playing catch down the block, fielding competitions, pitching competitions and even a college rivalry of who went to the better Hospitality school... FDU #4 JWU #20- Jess wins. Despite all that she was the best choice for the job!
Jake
Best Man
Jake and Alec met when they moved to the same block in elementary school, and became childhood best friends. They both went off to separate colleges but played each other's wing man at Mahoney's after turning 21. Even with the college distance, and now them living in different states the two have remained great friends, and Alec still a great wing man for Jake when they go out... Haaaaave ya met Jake?

They used to spend time riding bikes, and skating, visiting each other's houses and trying to sneak sleepovers whenever they could. Through the years they had different friend groups through life stages but always knew their friendship was there and strong!

Melissa was their roommate in Union City for two years!

Louis is Jess's brother. Louis, very protective of the random guy Jessica was traveling two hours to see, now has created a great bond with Alec. Louis and Alec usually arguing over who is the better bowler, have also bonded over their favorite sports teams over the past few years. Alec enjoys making fun of Louis's dance moves whenever he can, because we all know when Lou starts to dance there is no stopping him. Louis and Jessica together always comical, the two rarely see eye to eye but the big day wouldn't be complete without Louis!

Bridesmaid
Cara and Jess became friends on the softball field! Their friendship has gone from, softball to high school field hockey, road trips to the beach scream singing the Jo Bros, to being in each others weddings.

They both worked at the Rec Center at FDU and aren't really sure how they exactly sure how they became friends, but they are. The two love food and spent many nights eating way too much after meeting and events. They share a love for all things Disney so this friendship is a surprise to no one. Que future Disney Family Vacations in the years to come.
Mark
Groomsman
Mark and Alec, met at work and formed a bond over selling big pipes. Mark also enjoyed the hockey game perks provided by Jess, and although these friends like opposing teams, it makes for a healthy friendship.

Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel, another one of Jess's sorority sisters. Rachel and Jess met when Rachel joined Theta Phi Alpha and eventually lived together Jess's senior year. Rachel, always making any chance she can extra fun with the very embarrassing things that "ruin her life". Want entertainment on a vacation bring Rachel- you won't be disappointed. We hope that she can make it through the wedding without breaking a shoe, but with this one there are no guarantees.
Ariana

Although they were only roommates for a year and a half, all their friends and family still refer to the pair as ROOMZ.
Alex
Groomsman
Alex and Alec (don't say that 10 times fast) met at Rider. They were gym buddies for the last two years of college, and their friendship has carried on through the years. Alex was there the night Jess and Alec met, and got the conversation between them going. About 5 minutes later he had Steve in a head lock on the floor- Alex knows jujitsu so if you're in a fight you know which groomsman to call.

Toni-ann, also lived with Alec and Jess in Union City for two years, spending many nights at Pier 13 and in Hoboken.

Steve and Alec met in college at Rider. Steve is the life of the party in the college friend group! Steve was Alec's sugar baby for a while trying to keep up with the fun post college. Steve is always down for a good night out or a hockey game- the only reason why he likes Jess is for the Devils Games he got to go to because of her. Steve still thinks he can beat out Jess for Alec's love and attention, but its not happening, he will always be the side chick.
Lauren

Lauren is Jessica's first friend; cousins that live down the street from each other! Lauren and Jessica had all the same things growing up and played outside everyday. They drove their matching Barbie cars together, had the same first bike, roller skated around the neighborhood and even sat together on the bus!

Now the two are getting married in the same year and in each others weddings, keeping up with their life trends of life events together!
