Wedding Party

Claudia Shandra

Maid of Honor

Julia and Claudia met in 1997 via their parents. Despite all the things that could happen in 25 years, Claudia stuck around and was given the Maid of Honor position. She has been there for every event along the way, including the proposal all the way in Maine.

Jocelyn Emert

Bridesmaid

Jocelyn pulled into King’s College with the exact same Shenandoah National Park “Hiked it, Liked it” bumper sticker on her car that Julia had on her’s. Meant to be friends with a mutual love of hiking, wine, cats, and a mutual disliking of many other things.

Emilee Sassani

Bridesmaid

Emily and Julie (yes, we know, it’s old) found friendship on overnight shifts and being the only two women working together. However, Julia followed Emilee to Harrisburg so they could still be friends, which we think has worked out pretty well.

Sydney Baker

Bridesmaid

Sydney and Julia had an unconventional start to a friendship. Friends of friends, they slowly found out that they were a good fit for New York City Bakery Tours, long roads trips and singing wildly in the car. From little apartments, to bigger apartments, to moving states and more, they’re only 1 missed phone call and an I’ll Call You Later away.

Alyssa Connor

Bridesmaid

Julia can’t remember exactly how their friendship started, which was quick and easy in the midst of multiple school clubs and common ground (the way all the best ones are). Over the years, the two slowly saved the world with their overly enthusiastic efforts to reduce plastic, plant trees, and save the bees.

Lea Garibaldi

Bridesmaid

This pair go way back - to 8th and 9th grade. Playing field hockey together, medaling in Science Olympiad exactly once, and surviving all of high school’s horrors together counts for a lot. Plus, it helps Julia picked her up for school for a year or two and I think she’s cashing in on that favor now.
