Wedding Party

Justin Wachman

Best Man

Jake and Justin have been best friends FOREVER. Whether it’s Jersey, New York, LA, or a preview of their future yenta lives in Wilton Manors, Jake and Justin will always find a way to have a good time and catch up on all the gossip.

Brandon Means

Best Man

Greg & Brandon met at Penn State and have been best friends since! Although they live in the opposite corners of Pennsylvania, distance is no match for a friendship built on bourbon, queso, and a mutual truth that the other always has his friend's back. Greg was Brandon's Best Man and is Brandon's son's godfather. Greg could not be more honored to have Brandon as his Best Man for The Perfect Date.

Mallory Goldstein

Friend of Honor

Jake and Mallory have been known to have best friend dates at the nearest Applebee’s, sharing boneless buffalo wings and triple chocolate meltdowns. Best friends since middle school, Jake and Mallory have seen it all together - and Jake’s wedding wouldn’t be complete without his Mal Pal!

Robin Colin

Friend of Honor

Greg and Robin met when Robin auditioned for The Pennhamonics, Penn State's Premier A Cappella Group. They've been roommates, confidants, and most importantly - best friends - since! Greg refers to Robin as his sister. They have more in common than they should for two unrelated people, but that just goes to show how deep the friendship runs. Greg and Robin have shared almost every major milestone in their lives for the last 15+ years, and Greg is so proud to have Robin by his side once again.

Max Cohler

Friend of Honor

Jake and Max forged their bond on the rough streets of Cherry Hill as toddlers on a Woodcrest Playground. Best friends, roommates, neighbors - they’ve seen it all. Jake and Max have always had each other’s backs and probably will as long as they both have backs. What?

Chadd C. Colin

Friend of Honor

Greg and Chadd joined The Pennharmonics at the same time. Greg considers Chadd one of the smartest people he knows and also one of his best friends. They have their own sense of humor - dry and rye - like a good Manhattan, but also the ability to converse on nearly any topic. Greg misses the days of Chadd living in Philadelphia. Since they're practically brothers, Greg could not imagine this day without Chadd there, too.

Ryan Boyko

Friend of Honor

Jake and Ryan - better known as Boyko - first best friended it up at The George Washington University and then established a legacy in the DuPont Circle section of Washington, DC. Jake and Boyko have a friendship that will last until they both achieve Landed Gentry status.

Nicole Tureski

Friend of Honor

Greg and Nicole sang together in The Pennharmonics! They bond over the perfect pita sandwich, being really pretty, Broadway musicals, the ideal brunch, Hampton and French rosé, vintage Ke$sha, and being the best of friends! Unlikely friends at first, Greg and Nicole are always up for an adventure, and the 90 miles between Philadelphia and New York City never seem to stop them from having a great time!

Joshua Redman

Friend of Honor

Jake and Joshua met when Joshua moved from D.C. and joined our volleyball team (recruited by Greg)! After an intense interview on the first night, we all new it was instant friendship. Always up for an adventure, Jake and Joshua (and Greg) are connoisseurs of fine cocktails, decadent brunches, and the essential vacations spots - especially Provincetown! Joshua has since moved to Chicago, but that hasn't stopped them from planning a whole roster of best friend adventures together!

Gaelen McCartney

Friend of Honor

Greg and Gaelen met when Gaelen joined the kickball team Greg captains. An instant connection and friendship formed, perfectly woven into the fabric of time! Inside jokes and hours of conversation are just a small example of the friendship they share. Gaelen is also one of Miss Cookie's favorite friends!

Simon Rogers

Friend of Honor

Greg and Simon met at Penn State! They share an intense passion for mid-century design, genuine musicianship, and figuring out ways to make the world a better place. As the best of friends, Simon has been an invaluable sounding board, and Greg doesn't know where he'd be with out him. Simon is also the most talented of musicians, as you'll have the privilege of enjoying during the ceremony!

Meghan Rogers

Friend of Honor

Greg and Meghan sang together in The Pennharmonics! Since they met, they have approached being the best of friends with a perfectly Polish mindset (with a pickle on the side) while holding down the Philadelphia representation of their group of friends! Greg and Meghan are still frequent musical collaborators. Meghan is a professional vocalist, which everyone will have the privilege of enjoying during the ceremony!

Melissa Morrow

Officiant

Jake and Melissa are cousins - but Melissa is also a sister and best friend to Jake. Jake has always admired Melissa's ambition, presentation, and generosity. He is incredibly honored to have Melissa co-officiate the ceremony on his behalf, as there is no one who knows him better.

Anna Heleniak

Officiant & Sister

Greg and Anna met the day Greg was no longer an only child. Anna is a source of honest advice and humor only a brother and sister could share. Being the most well-spoken and genuine person Greg has ever known, he is grateful that Anna has agreed to co-officiate the ceremony.
