Wedding Party
Lily Wood
Maid of Honor
Lily has been my little sister for 17 years and she is a fiery little cracker! She has the social life of a 21 year old and always has everyone laughing! We pretty much do everything together and I feel like she is my own personal side kick. On Jadaen and I's first date, Lily was the one to come out to shake his hand and see what he was all about. She is my best friend and one of the best humans you will ever meet!
Dantaun Bernstein
Best Man
Dantaun has been my older brother for as long as I can remember. His quick witted sarcasm has yet to fail him in life and somehow landed him this job as best man (hopefully he doesn't mess up the bachelor party.) Dantaun and I did everything together as kids and were on the same teams multiple times throughout our adolescences. Eventually we ended up at college together where he taught "lesser people" like me how to navigate the Naval Academy and Down Town Annapolis. Needless to say if anything goes wrong at the wedding, you can blame him.
Alyssa McMahon
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is my fabulous cousin who also happens to be one of my favorite humans ever! My whole life she has been there to do all the ridiculous things with me including dressing up Sean as tinker bell to blacking out on New Years and Derby. Don't let this sweet girl fool ya cause she's Irish and she'll drink you out from under the table. Even though she moved to South Carolina and became a southern bell, she will always be a masshole at heart! I am so lucky I get Lyss to celebrate another big life event!
Sean Wood
Groomsman
Sean is my incoming brother in law and even though I have only known him for a short period of time, he has welcomed me into the family. Sean is an easy going guy and having a bad time is not a part of his vocabulary. Wherever he is, he always makes his presence known. (especially when hes in his room mixing music with the volume at max). I couldn't ask for a better brother in law. Sean is as good as they get.
Amanda Moss
Bridesmaid
Amanda aka Mindy has been my best friend since the beginning. I knew she would always have my back when I got in trouble for bad behavior in 5th grade and had to stay after school with my teacher but she came by and proceeded to tell the teacher, "Julia has to go she can't stay here with you, Jul lets go we're going home." When you put us together we always end up doing something outlandish, which makes up most of our childhood memories. If you want to have a loud and rowdy time, call Amanda. She is as loyal as they come and I know she has my back through anything.
Nick Mabry
Groomsman
Nick, or as some people know him as "Jarvis" came into my life on July 22nd 2013, the day we started the Naval Academy Prep School, where we wrestled together as well as being in the same platoon. We continued our careers together at the Naval Academy where he could be found either in the weight room or in his dorm room with a dip in hand listening to his favorite song Musclebells. He might look like big tough guy but once you get to know him you will see he is as soft as 10 ply toilet paper.
Taylor Webster
Bridesmaid
Taylor and I have known each other since we both committed to the University of Louisville, and since then she has been my other half. Taylor and I came as a pair and often when one of us would get in trouble so would the other. This meant when our Coach decided I needed punishment so did she and vise versa. So if I was doing push ups so was she. From our time smoking black and milds in the hammocks at Betty Johnson to getting multiple surgeries together to having our Frenchies we are one in the same. I am so lucky I get her by my side during this next step in my life!
Mike Santos
Groomsman
This squirrely mountain man and I became friends in our freshman year of high school. After having some awkward interactions with my brother I think he really came around to liking the Bernstein family. After high school Mike continued his education at the University of West Virginia where he majored in drinking and minored in sleep. But don't let that backwoods education fool you, this man is as bright as they come and is one of the best friends I could ask for.
Lexi Cheetham
Bridesmaid
Lexi aka Alexis was my other half in college and from the moment I met her I felt like I had known her my whole life. I actually did not go anywhere without Lexi in college so much that when she went to Dunkin Donuts without me once I felt betrayed and cried. Lexi may appear innocent from the outside but when she is at the party she is the party. She raps and dances and is definitely the one to get on top of tables! I am so lucky I get this lady by my side!
Zack Davis
Groomsman
Three things that describe Zack Davis- Garth Brooks. Wrasslin. Tootstie's. If you can't find Zack at his favorite bar in Nashville he's probably in the wrestling room or fishing off the Farragut seawall figuring out how he's going to get back to Tootstie's. Once there he will drink himself under the table and serenade you with some mediocre Garth Brooks. Zack has been a close friend of mine as we wrestled together throughout our four years at the academy. We've gone through everything together for the past 6 years so why not do one more thing together.
Jenna Slusar
Bridesmaid
Jenna has been my best friend since I was 4 years old. We grew up with all of our teachers confusing our names and me sleeping at her house pretty much any chance I got. So many of my childhood memories consist of Jenna- skinny dipping in Maine, taking modeling photographs, stuffing our bras to have boobs and spending every Christmas together! Jenna is as sweet as you can get and I am so excited to have her by my side for my wedding!
Sam McCartney
Groomsman
Sam, aka WAMMO, is living proof that anyone can make it through the Naval Academy. While Sam and I were roommates for those four years I grew accustom to his morning groans as he moped into the bathroom and as he put on his uniform for morning formation. Sam was an integral member of the Navy Squash team and he constantly reminded his friends that he was a varsity athlete. Sam is one of the smartest and funniest guys I know but I just pray that he doesn't do anything too crazy at the wedding, but with WAMMO you never know.
Angie Slusar
Bridesmaid
Angie and I have known each other for pretty much her whole life and she has been like a second little sister to me. Much of my childhood consisted of us playing games such as "Poor" while Jenna (her sister) decided to do more normal things for our age. Poor was exactly the way it sounded, we literally pretended to be homeless. Angie and I have always had a special bond and I am so lucky she will be with me at my side on my big day. Angie is always up for anything so if you want to have a good time, find her!
David Laszcz
Groomsman
Have you ever met someone who just seems to be perfect? Perfect jawline, smile, education, job, personality? Well Laz isn't that guy. This ugly man and I met at the Naval Academy Prep School and were also roommates. We called ourselves "The Bandoliers" (Everyone was jealous). We then spent 4 years of tears together at the Naval Academy and were both on or way to the Marine Corps, but then David decided to leave me and take a quick detour to attend Harvard. So Selfish Right?
Casey Madura
Bridesmaid
Casey and I met when we started playing lacrosse at the University of Louisville and ever since she has been one of the most inspiring people I have gotten lucky to call my friend. Casey often went by the stage name "Kris Jenner" in college, giving speeches and making everyone cheers while standing on tables at huge parties. Casey has had my back no matter what and is the happiest person in the world. I don't know what I would do without this amazing person!
Steven Baker
Groomsman
Beven Staker is a wild one. We've wrestled together from 3rd grade through high school and I don't think I have seen someone put themselves through so much unnecessary pain in my life. It paid off because after high school I don't think he has pain receptors left in his body. You can catch him shotgunning beers on snapchat or roaming the streets of Hoboken during Santa Con just looking for a couch to sleep on. He is the man of the people and there's do doubt he will put a smile on your face.
Jillian Balog
Bridesmaid
Jilly bean is my spicy other half. Jill and I are so much alike in so many ways it's actually scary. Everyone thinks I just know Jill from college but we actually started playing lacrosse together in the 7th grade. If I need someone to get down and dirty for me or say rip off their hoop earrings and sprawl, I will definitely call Jilly. We have been through so much together and this girl has had my back through it all. I am so excited to have this one by my side and fingers crossed no one brings mace!
Beau Vrancken
Groomsman
Beau might be the most fun loving/ insane people know. He once took a cheeseburger out of a lady's hand, took a bite, gave it back to her, and ran out of McDonald's. Though Beau went to a rival high school we always wrestled each other and I am still the only person he didn't pin his 8th grade year in the state on NJ. ( I will hold that over him until the day I die) Beau also was a huge advocate of drinking Four Loko's so If you want a good time I would find Beau at the wedding, also if you don't want to remember the night you should find Beau.
