Kathy & Jordan
Wedding Party
Shirley Ching
Maid of Honor
Kathy and Shirley met in 2005 as freshmen at NYU, where fate had them living on the same floor at Rubin Hall on Fifth Avenue. You could say that Kathy's nerdy, quirky, suburban way of life quickly found a place in Shirley's native Brooklyn heart. Shirley has been a rock through and beyond some of the most formative years. No matter what state or country they are in, they always find a way to hop on a flight for a new adventure. Shirley lives in Brooklyn, where she is a wife and mom to her husband Chris, mischievous son Axel, and newborn daughter Isabelle.
Michael Monteleone
Best Man
Jordan & Mo grew up in New Rochelle NY and have been friends since 1999. They have traveled to dozens of countries and founded several businesses together. Michael has not only been a part of some of the best decisions, but also some of the worst/most dangerous ideas 😂. Mo is a husband to his wife Alex, and father to his son Andrew, with another on the way.
Cristina Kelly
Bridesmaid
Kathy and Cristina met in Garden City at Houston's Restaurant in 2013. Their relationship was off to a rocky start when Cristina was a victim of Kathy's strict uniform enforcement while clocking in that fateful fall day. Many double shifts and late nights later, they have remained the best of friends. Cristina lives in Frederick, MD, where she is a wife and mom to two river-dancing boys (three, if you count her silly goose of a husband James), Declan and Donovan.
Rob Maya
Best Man
Rob is Jordan’s oldest friend and brother. Rob is both creative in his work creating bespoke marketing concepts for businesses, as well as ways to get under Jordan’s skin. Rob has lived in South Florida for over a decade after going to school in Buffalo, NY.
Moriah Nejadeh
Bridesmaid
Kathy and Moriah met in the winter of 2014 while working for Vivint Solar. As two strong-willed women in the overwhelmingly male-dominated industry of door-to-door sales, they became inseparable from the start. Fun fact: they share the same birthday of September 6. It is no wonder that this pair of over-achieving Virgos have found an amazing friendship in this beautiful universe. Moriah lives in Los Angeles where she is fulfilling her dream of being a filmmaker, one badass project at a time.
Sammy Mitrani
Groomsman
Sammy is Jordan’s first cousin via his father’s sister Vicky. Although about 10 years apart in age, they are raised more like brothers than cousins. Jordan lived with Sammy from 2005-2006 while working at the Delano Hotel in South Beach. Sammy taught Jordan there is always something to eat no matter how bleak the refrigerator might appear to be, which he calls “learn to live”. Sammy is a Miami Native.
Samantha Lynn
Bridesmaid
Kathy and Samantha met in Houston in 2010 while managing restaurants for Hillstone Restaurant Group. Surrounded by cowboy hats and southern drawl, they became instant besties! A life of no weekends or holidays was definitely more fun when you had someone by your side for Monday lunch dates and late night sleepovers. Samantha lives in Los Angeles, where she is mom to a rambunctious Goldador named Olive.
Mike Li
Groomsman
Michael is the brother of the bride and a great addition to the bridal party. If anyone happens to yell “is there a doctor in the house!?” this weekend, Michael will be the one to come running over. Jordan & Michael have been fortunate enough to travel to 5 countries and 2 continents together as part of family trips. Mike lives in Allentown, PA where he is a Radiology Resident at Lehigh Valley Hospital, and dad to a goofy, stubborn 10YO Labernese named Tux.
