Wedding Party

The Wedding Website of Jessica Fernandes Melo and Rafael Coelho
Behind every great couple is an even greater group of friends and family. The people you see here are more than just a wedding party; they are our confidants, our loudest cheerleaders, and our favorite people to share a meal with. Each of them has played a vital role in our story, and we are so honored to have them standing with us as we start this new journey together

Jessica

Bride


Rafael

Groom

Catarina

Maid of Honor

Catarina and Jess grew up together, which means she’s survived more change-room marathons than anyone else on this list. She’s a Financial Planner by trade, but her real specialty is knowing exactly what Jess is thinking before she even says it. you never quite know which version of her you’re going to get but she’s guaranteed to bring the laughs, the shenanigans, and the kind of energy that turns nothing into a full-blown moment.


Bryan

Best Man

A man who loves fast cars and cooks like he’s competing on MasterChef. Bryan is the Service Director at BMW and the undisputed Director of Comedy in our friend group. Always ready with a joke (or creating one out of thin air), he’s the reason there’s never a dull moment. He’s here to make sure the wedding runs as smoothly as an M3.

Thaisa

Bridesmaid

As a business owner and dental hygienist, she knows the drill. Thaisa grew up expertly framing Rafael for all her childhood crimes, but today she’s the most fiercely loyal sister you could ask for. She brings wisdom as the oldest in the group and knows exactly how to tear up the dance floor (until 10:59 PM).


Matias

Groomsman

A painter and foreman by trade, but the undisputed king of the dance floor by night. If you hear a booming chant of "WHICKEY WHICKEY WHICKEY," brace yourself—shots are happening. Give him a few drinks, and his sense of shame completely evaporates.

Sabrina

Bridesmaid

The Bride's future sister in law is a PhD Candidate by day, "Crash Out Queen" by night. As the resident Gen Z and token Italian, she doesn’t need a shared language to be the life of the party, she just needs a drink. Warning: After a few rounds, her Italian heritage vanishes and she inexplicably transforms into a full-blown Aussie. No matter which accent makes an appearance, she brings the best energy, the sweetest heart, and a whole lot of fun wherever she goes.


Matthew

Groomsman

The Brides Brother is our favorite "papagaio" and a guy who could talk his way out of a bank vault. He missed his calling in high-stakes sales, mostly because he’s a master gaslighter who will show up an hour late and successfully argue that the space-time continuum shifted. He'd trade a vital organ for a CR7 autograph without hesitation, but beneath the blatant lies about his ETA is the most loyal guy you'll ever find. He’s the one you call in a crisis, because his famous "don't worry, it'll be fine" is the only reassurance you'll ever need.

Melissa

Bridesmaid

Meet Melissa: sister of the bride, our favourite new redhead, and a highly selective adventure-seeker (just don't ask her to go anywhere a fish might touch her legs underwater). She might seem like the "quiet" sister, but wait until her favourite country song comes on. Clear the floor she’s about to bust out a flawless yoga pose. Just be ready when she hands you her phone, because she will need you to film it for her Instagram and fitness TikToks.


Michael

Groomsman

Meet Michael, a guy of hilarious contradictions. He’s our resident auditor and the strong, silent type right up until he hits you with the funniest joke you've ever heard. He’s a hardcore fitness enthusiast who can’t be trusted alone with sugar. He's the absolute nicest guy, but be warned: he has a legendary talent for falling asleep at the club, so we might need to physically prop him up on the dance floor once the sugar crash hits.

Sophia

Bridesmaid

Meet Sophia: sister of the bride, proud dog mom, and our favorite aesthetician. Sophia only has one volume setting: maximum. Whether she’s passionately telling a story or enthusiastically winning an argument, she is undeniably the loudest person in the room. She’s also our designated voice of reason whenever the group has had one too many, so we’ll be relying heavily on her to keep everyone in check at the reception!


Din

Groomsman

Din and the groom go all the way back to the trenches of selling Best Buy warranties. Today, Din is a tech-savvy Google guy with an incredibly sneaky sense of humor. Don't let his intimidating looks fool you. He has a heart of gold and is the ultimate tough guy turned softie when it comes to his newborn daughter

Rebecca

Bridesmaid

Rebecca has a heart of gold, a highly analytical mind, and is always fiercely in your corner to stand up for what’s right. She’s a travel-lover who is always down for an adventure and an incredible listener who remembers every tiny detail. The kind of friend you can always count on, she’s also absolutely guaranteed to talk your ear off and can effortlessly hold a conversation for hours!


Jackson

Groomsman

Jackson is the guy you want around when things get heated. Between his career as an HVAC pro and his obsession with JDM cars, he’s an expert at keeping things cool (or fast). When he isn't scouting the best fishing spots, you'll find him breaking down the specs of a classic Japanese build. He brings a great sense of humor and a "get it done" energy to the wedding party.

Kathy

Bridesmaid

Meet Kathy: our resident interior designer who brings her creativity and super thoughtful nature to absolutely everything she does. By day, you can usually find her tending to her beloved plant collection or curled up with a novel for her book club. By night? Just put on a Jonas Brothers song and watch her party her ass off. She is always down for a good time and if you need a partner in crime to close out the night, Kathy is your girl.


Nathan

Groomsman

Meet Nathan, a detail-oriented carpenter whose precision completely stops at language learning. Despite a Portuguese wife and coworkers, his vocabulary still consists entirely of swear words. You’ll spot him easily at the wedding: just look for the guy with the glowing Asian flush busting out flawless Latino dance moves (he is half-Chilean, after all!).

Julia

Bridesmaid

Meet Julia, our resident sarcastic queen. When she isn't delivering perfectly timed, dry-witted one-liners, she is likely doing one of three things: perfecting a flawless makeup look, hunting down the nearest platter of sushi and charcuterie, or napping. If she goes missing at the reception, check the nearest comfortable chair or the snack table if they bring out the cured meats!


Luca

Ring Bearer

Luca has the biggest heart and will stick to you like glue. He’s incredibly smart, sometimes too smart, and always one step ahead. When he’s not keeping everyone on their toes, he’s usually busy with his favourite Pokémon cards.

Maya

Flower Girl

Maya is the sweetest little girl who loves to play, laugh, and have fun. She brings so much joy, energy, and just the right amount of sass wherever she goes, just don’t expect the same enthusiasm when it comes to cleaning her room.
