Rachel & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Dr. Deanna DeNapoli
Co-Maid of Honor
Deanna is one half of Rachel's Maid of Honor title where they met in 2014 as roommates at Florida Gulf Coast University. Deanna helped Rachel break out of her shell and go out to explore the world. A highlight was getting to travel to Las Vegas and experience the Backstreet Boys in the FRONT ROW! Deanna is a Physical Therapist who has worked with the Miami Marlins and currently working with the Chicago White Sox!
Kiana Nelson
Co-Maid of Honor
Kiana is the second half of the Maid of Honor title (lovingly referred to as "Maid of Horror"). Rachel has known Kiana since 2015 as roommates at Florida Gulf Coast University where they clicked immediately with their shared sense of humor. Rachel and Kiana have attended music concerts and festivals whenever possible. Kiana is a Flight Attendant currently travelling all over the world!
Betsy Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
Betsy is one of Rachel's closest friends and met her at, you guessed it, Florida Gulf Coast University. Whether it is venting about work or needing a good laugh, Betsy has always been there for Rachel whenever needed (and vice versa). Betsy loves K-Pop and attending music concerts whenever she can!
Nick Pasquale
Best Man
Nick is the Best Man and Jonathan's best friend. He grew up alongside Jonathan in Russia, and after meeting in middle school, continued growing their friendship while always looking out for each other. Over the years, no matter where they were or what they were doing together, they would always find an adventure. Nick currently lives in Austin, Texas and works at a Datacenter.
David Lessman
Groomsman
David is one of Jonathan's Groomsmen and his younger brother. David and Jonathan grew up two years apart and spent the time coming up with creative and fun ways to entertain themselves as well as their other siblings. Ever since David was young he had a strong sense of justice, which only makes sense why he is currently a Deputy in the City of Orlando.
Michael Lessman
Groomsman
Michael is one of Jonathan's Groomsmen and his older brother. Michael and Jonathan grew up four years apart, and he always helped push Jonathan to critically think and analyze the world. Michael has studied across the world, but currently lives in Connecticut where he is finishing his PhD at Yale University focusing on Islamic Philosophy.
