Wedding Party
Liz Breck
Matron of Honor
Liz and Jillian have been best friends since preschool. They spent weeknight and many Saturday mornings at dance classes. They volunteered to do sets for the community theatre. Once they got their driver’s licenses they spend every Friday night driving around listening to the coolest music much too loudly. They spend college, skipping classes on birthdays to color and eat ice cream, rollerblade around campus, and getting as many free tee shirts and hot dogs as possible on student appreciation day. They went down to work at Disney World together, and have driven all over the east coast- especially through the next million miles of Pennsylvania. Buckle Up! Liz is a wife and “Donald” van driver and dance mom for her daughter. She has a degree from the university of Akron, but really she majored in Disney and Dance.
James Park
Best Man
James and Jeff have known each other since James was born due to the fact they are brothers. Apparently as a child Jeff tried to down James in the backyard wading pool but failed, and thus Jeff was banned from the pool for the day. They were able to grow up side by side, and have been around for all the most exciting parts of each other’s lives. Whether it was church, sports, school, scouts, events, and family vacations they always had a good time. James really enjoys fishing, Boston sports, and golf trips with friends. James is always quick when it comes to references and quotes from most of America's beloved movies and TV shows such as Seinfeld, My Cousin Vinny, Sopranos, The Office, Rookie of the Year, and more. He is a graduate of Westfield State College and has been employed with the TJX corporation since. Chosen for the role as Best Man due to being Jeff's younger brother (as our niece was call it genetic) but also being there for all of our life.
Tracy Suarez
Bridesmaid
Even though Jillian and Tracy had only met after Jeff decided he could bring Jillian to meet his family, they have been partners in teasing Jeff. Tracy has made sure that Jillian would know all Jeff’s embarrassing childhood moments. Tracy made sure there were always snacks and cheese boards at every gathering, really the perfect hostess! Tracy is a graduate of UMass Dartmouth and works as a lab manager. She is the mom of a super creative 9 year old. With many beach trips, including family puzzles, surprise cat friends and knickknacks, Jillian and Tracy have been able to bond and become friends!
Jerry Suarez
Groomsman
Jerry joined the Park family for good a few short(10) years ago when he married Jeff’s older sister, Tracy. Jeff first met Jerry at a birthday party for Jeff's Nana in 2011. Jeff knew if he could survive that day he could survive anything. Not knowing too much about Jerry at first, Jeff knew he must be a great guy as he was introduced to Tracy by his Aunt Mary-Ellen. Jerry enrolled at Boston University, but left to serve as a medic in the United States Army, and currently works for the Boston PD. He has since joined the Park males through Jeff's father's "projects", shed removals, beer festival festivities, football watching and family vacations. A fixture on the beach Jerry become the designated beach wagon/cooler packer. Some of his favorite activities are floating in the ocean, smoking meat(if the neighbors don’t call the fire department because there is smoke at 4am), video games, reading, and doing his daughter wants to do. Jerry was chosen to be a part of Jeff's party as they have grown close and selecting Jeff to be apart of his.
Madison Stock
Bridesmaid
Madison Stock was born when Jillian was seven. And everyone refused to name Madison “Bean” which was a huge missed opportunity according to Jillian. They spent many weekend nights together as kids, Jillian babysitting while Madison’s parents went bowling. They watched Barbie movies, and eventually Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean. Eventually Madison didn’t need babysat(still debatable), and they would go see movies and travel to bookstores. Madison was the captain of her high school bowling team, competed on the swim team and served in the US Navy. They spend adult years visiting each other across the country but still remain the closest of cousins!
Bobby Scribner
Groomsman
Jeff has known Bobby since Jeff's middle school and Bob's elementary school days. Although he was from the other side of town, Bob spent most of his childhood with the Cappadonna family down the street from Jeff. Growing up Jeff and Bob played sports, worked together, went to college together, lived together, and have been known to have a few good nights at the local bars together. Fun fact, Bob was named Bay State Player of the Year in high school basketball. He is also known for his accurate shaping of his 4-hybrid from 65 to "230" yards. Bobby was one of the people there on the night when Jeff and Jillian met. Introducing Jeff to Jillian as his dad, Bob can attest that Jeff was minding his own business that night. They have remained friends, and like to get together to have some beers, watch sports, and play an occasional round of golf together. Bob's friendship from early years till now is the main reason Jeff has chosen him to be a part of his party.
Erika Dubis
Bridesmaid
Erika and Jillian connected as store managers for Barnes and Noble College. Their friendship cemented as they spent a few holidays together and extended store manager meetings to party in Orlando. They continued the parties by going to the Big E for many years, and many other adventures- like being attacked by crickets on top of Mount Greylock, traveling through dark roads of Vermont, and going to the zoo! Erika is a proud momma to Billy, she has a fashion degree from Framingham State, and works staging home furnishings for photos shoots. Finally, they went to a fateful football game together where Erika decided they were going to make friends with two boys while standing in the rain…
Joseph Hartline
Groomsman
Jeff only met Joseph right after Joseph became a dad. So the first time they met Joseph got peed on by his son while he was changing a diaper. Now many years later they discuss sports and root for opposing teams in the Ohio State/Michigan Rivalry. Joseph is the all-american football player, and Eagle Scout from small town Tallmadge, Ohio. He enjoys bowling, playing video games, and D&D. At work Joseph make hoods for stoves. Joseph also likes to send Jeff and Jillian any videos he comes across that play up the Boston area!
