Jordan & Jonathan
Wedding Fam
Danielle Kesich
Maid of Honor
I genuinely wonder where on earth I would be without you? We've known each other since the pigtails, Spongebob shoelaces, black Heelies, colorful braces (every tooth being a different color lol), Limited Too puffer vest days. So many of our "firsts" were together. I mean, actually all of them. I love your kind soul and the genuine unconditional way you care for everyone in your life. I love our HSP nature and that we always understand each other on the very deepest level. You are my celestial sister, the Generator to my Reflector, the Cancer to my Libra, the Stassi to my... Stassi! Thank you for being you, you are a one of a kind best friend and I would not be here without you.
Katie Estep
Maid of Honor
Katherine Estep. My sister, my other half, my twin but my opposite in all of the best ways -- you are truly family to me. Can you believe we have spent 23 years together?! I don't even know where to begin with our memories... starting with our affinity for bug shows and splashing in the mud on construction sites, to traveling the world together, to living in NYC in a 400 sq ft apartment (that's love), to now you standing by my side as my Maid of Honor. I admire so many things about you. Your sense of adventure and your zest for life is unparalleled. Your work ethic and organization are off the charts (we know this). You are always up for anything and along for the ride. You teach me more than you know by just being you. I love you -- can't wait for all of the memories to come.
Jillian Jaime
Maid of Honor
JILLY BEAN. All I have to say is thank god that we chatted on FB about getting ready together on the first night of college & then did just that, so that I could have you by my side forever. From the very moment I met you I knew there was something so special about your energy- you have the most amazing ability to tune in and make anyone feel like they are the most heard & understood person in the room. You also know how to read my mind and always know exactly what to do about it so there's that too. ;) Our souls are just intertwined. There is no one else I would rather sit in the car with for HOURS (and hours and hours) talking about everything under the sun. I am so lucky to have the gift of you in my life, and I can't wait for a lifetime of adventures.
Alexi Brzezniak
Maid of Honor
Bexicon, H twin, Darling, my life twin, my human, is there actually anyone on earth who I laugh harder with? I think that would be impossible. You know without you this wedding simply would not be happening... you knew I needed Orangetheory in my life even when neither of us know exactly why. I think your soul must have known, and it will forever be so special that you are such a divine part of how our relationship came to be! We have more inside jokes with each other than an old married couple... and we are definitely the only people I know who can consistently speak to each other in #hashtags. Thank you for being the Darling to my Sweets (and to our Feasty Boy) and making life so fun every day. You are always there in the most special and dependable of ways & I am the luckiest ever. <3
Laura Spezzotti
Bridesmaid
My big sister! I still cannot get over the fact that by the time of our wedding you're going to be a mama to a baby girl. WHAT? The best thing Alpha Phi brought me was you -- my big sis turned into real life sister. I will never forget walking into that room and having everyone say, "You HAVE to meet Laura! She is your twin!!" I love that you do everything first so I can learn from you, love your extreme generosity and your kind heart, and how we love all of the same things. ;) From yoga to healthy food to neighborhood walks to all of the health treatments and beyond. So honored to have you stand by my side on our big day, and cannot wait to continue to walk through this life with you by my side.
Jordan Dorso
Bridesman
Jordan Dorso. Where do I even begin? The Jordan to my Jordan. My forever soul twin. You get me, you see me, you know my heart inside and out. When I look at you I swell with insane amounts of love every single time, and I know it's because our souls just match. I am so proud of how far we've come -- if you think back to our first memories together and all that has transpired in the last decade... it's almost unreal to think about. Watching you fall in love with your soulmate and marry him has been so incredibly special and fills me with so much happiness it could burst me open. I love you so much, you are my family. Cheers to a lifetime of amazingness together!
Clare Wlodarcyzk
Bridesmaid
My Clare. :) We have more memories together than words can say. Living in Italy, your birthday in Bad Kholgrub (are we the only people who know about this place?), Oktoberfest in Munich, adventures in Paris, starry middle of the night ocean swims in Greece, castles in Sienna, slap happy laughter in our tiny room in Florence, climbing on stage to sing Come Together & forgetting every word, he list goes on. Our travels will always be so dear to my heart, and our friendship means the world to me. I love how deep we go together-- the books that mean so much to both of us-- the hysterical memories we have (trench coat in a pool....!!!)-- our Nor Cal roots, all of it. Having you stand by my side on our wedding day means everything and I cherish our friendship forever and ever.
Brianna Bufano
Bridesmaid
How lucky am I to have a cousin who is one of my dearest friends? The greatest thing that ever happened was finally living in the same city as each other after a lifetime of living on opposite sides of the state, and then having the major gift of being next-door neighbors! It was like all of our childhood dreams finally coming true. :) I love you and our memories together so much. I love how much we laugh together... and all of our adventures that only we would ever be into doing. We are truly two peas from the same pod, and I am so wildly grateful for you. I love you so much Bri & could never imagine our wedding day without you by my side!
Anya McCall
Bridesmaid
Anya!! You are such a gift in my life. We have so many incredible memories and some wild and hilarious stories that will always be so dear to my heart. I admire so many things about you-- how good you are at keeping in touch, how incredibly on top of things you are no matter what, the way you get along with literally everyone / everywhere (I really really love this) and are always the most fun and outgoing person in the room. Not to mention your love of adventure and zest for life / travel / new experiences / living in new places all around the world. I LOVE you and I am so extremely lucky to have you in my life and by my side on our special day.
Adam Albrecht
Best Man
Big bro! My first and forever friend. The only person on this earth with the same heart. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for you being the one person I look up to the most.
Drew Lipson
Groomsman
You see every single quality in me, Drew. The good, the bad, and the ugly. You know the depths of my soul as clearly as anyone has ever seen, and I am honored to call you one of my closest and dearest friends. Since '97
John Davidson
Groomsman
It's actually quite hard to imagine my life before you in it. Your friendship has brought me some of the greatest memories in my life. Unequivocally. You have been by my side when I needed a friend the most, and you have challenged me to not only pursue love, but to find my forever human. To take the leap. You make me feel six-feet tall on my darkest days, and I am not really sure who I would be if it weren't for you. Love you, brother.
Josh Futterman
Groomsman
You have been by my side - shoulder to shoulder - for almost every chapter in my life. Middle School, High School, University, colleagues after college, and rightfully so, standing by my side on the most important day in my life. I love our friendship and it's countless memories, and know my life would have a lot less joy without you in it. Since '97 #pinkyplace
Andrew Asher
Groomsman
A new kid in a new city, and the universe gifted me you as my next door neighbor. You were literally the coolest kid in school, and to me, the coolest kid I would ever know. You will always hold that crown in my eyes. Throughout our teens we would build, craft, skate, scrimmage, or scheme some wild adventure. To this day, some of my fondest memories were growing up with you on that Carsamba cul de sac. What an incredible story... the story of our friendship. Looking forward to writing a lot more chapters with you in the decades to come!
Caleb Wilson
Groomsman
I can count on you for anything. No matter the situation or circumstance. Thoughtful. Loyal. Selfless. Just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when reminiscing of all my memories with you in them. Not to mention fun, laughter, and genuine heartfelt conversations. You would give the shirt off your back and the last dime in your pocket for those you care about, and I'm beyond lucky to have you as one of my closest friends. Thanks for always looking out for me, speaking up for me, watching over me, and seeing the best in me.
Jesse McCartney
Groomsman
There's a familiarity I see in you that's rooted in your spirit. That same New York blood that my parents gave to me. The wholesome affection you have for those you allow in. Your protected heart - just like me - that limits those you let in, which allows you to give them your all. Your silliness and whit. Kindness and hospitality. The core of who you are is what I admire most, and I'm honored to call you my friend.
Paul Marcus
Groomsman
You have always believed in my potential - no matter what. And you see the best in everyone - no matter what. I am so grateful for your guidance and mentorship, but above all, your friendship. I mean... how many people work side-by-side with their closest friends every single day? Like all of them! I owe it all to you, and so much more. You shifted the course of my entire life. And I hope one day I can do for others, just a fraction of what you have done for me.
Hart Turner
Groomsman
We met for a run and a beer. We bonded over Phil Collins and Bruce Hornsby. We ran multiple Ironmans together - even crossed the finish line to one side-by-side. That’s the true definition of friendship. Your unwavering loyalty and sentimental soul - it’s what makes you, Hart. Your idiosyncratic ways see the world through an oh-so familiar lens. It’s these traits that connect us. Your character inspires me. Your passion brightens my gloomier days. And I’m lucky to have a friend exactly like you on this wild ride called life. Areté amigo!
