Wedding Party
Hannah Paradise
Maid of Honor
Hannah is Marley's one and only sister, MOH, role model, and e-commerce advisor. She and her husband, Michael, live in South Portland, ME, with their beautiful dog, Spruce, who also answers to Harmon, Kyindgaard, and Guznelle. In addition to many wild and fun childhood memories, Hannah and Marley share a passion for skiing at Sugarloaf, a love for splitting two meals at restaurants, and low standards for television.
Jon Ellowitz
Best Man
Jon is Danny's oldest brother. He and his wife, Miriam, live in Dedham, Mass. with their lovely daughters, Rosie Grace, and Sadie Alice. Miriam started her own Graphic Design business, and Jon works as a Structural Engineer in Green Energy. Jon and Danny share many interests, highlighted by their love of long bike rides (photo above from ALZ ride 2022) and making sarcastic jokes at family gatherings.
Heather Christopher
Bridesmaid
Heather has been Marley's best pal since their sophomore year of high school. She and her husband, Kaelon, live in Seattle, WA, with their spritely pup, Otis. Heather and Marley have countless memories together driving around La Jolla, listening to Black Eyed Peas, and speed-walking across their college campus at UCSB. Despite living on opposite coasts, the two girls + Danny and Kaelon, get together at least once a year. The four have reunited in Seattle and Boston, finding fun from the Puget Sound all the way to the Charles River.
Jake Ellowitz
Best Man
Jake is Danny's middle brother. He and his wife, Yuwen, have a future pitcher in their boisterous son, Xiwei. They live in Silicon Valley, and both work in tech: Jake is a partner and data scientist for Tribe Capital, and Yuwen is a software engineer for LinkedIn. Jake and Danny majored in physics at Clark University, where Danny quickly degraded the strong Ellowitz reputation that Jake had spent years building. Jake only makes goofy faces in photos, so we picked one blocking his face altogether.
Elizabeth Davidson
Bridesmaid
ED and Marley met while both attending UCSB and lived together for several years post-college in downtown Santa Barbara. ED has been living abroad since 2019, and after spending a few years in Valencia, Spain, where she met her charming and eccentric boyfriend, Gonzolo, she is now attending nursing school in the UK. ED is by far Marley's tallest and most gregarious companion. The two have spent many a weekend in matching ensembles dancing to Zumba, rollerskating into James Joyce, and generally causing a scene.
Dan Esterkin
Groomsman
Big Sterkleton has been Danny's honorary 3rd brother since 6th grade. He and his wife, Meg, have an adorable son, Zach, who shares a birthday with his father <3 . Dan and Meg live in Canton, MA, and both work in Real Estate as moguls in the making. While Dan and Danny have countless memories to share, a highlight would be a long weekend Marley and Danny spent at Meg's Family's vacation home in Pemaquid, Maine. The quartet were spotted rowing dinghy's to a seafood dinner on a dock overlooking the sunset. It was magical.
Francis Oda
Bridesmaid
Marley met Francis, aka Frannie, aka Chise, in college at UCSB, where Marley was adopted into Frannie's extensive friend group. They bonded for life after moving into Bath together, an infamous Santa Barbara home to a revolving door of (mostly) UCSB grads. Frannie and her future hubby, Grayson, live in their beautiful Santa Barbara home with their dog, Keiko, and Cat, Moofy. Despite the great distance between them, Frannie and Marley make a point of reuniting at least once a year on an epic ski trip.
Jacob Hertzig
Groomsman
Jacob and Danny met at orientation for their year abroad in Israel after High School. Jacob and his fiance, Stevi, live in Denver. Fun fact, they're getting married 2 weeks after Marley and Danny! Make sure to wish them congrats! While Jacob and Danny have never lived remotely close to one another, they have always made sure to visit each other multiple times a year. These visits are often highlighted by seeing music, long hiking trips, or shredding as many buttery turns in fresh pow as they can.
Danni McGovern
Bridesmaid
Danni, aka Girl Danni, and Marley became instant friends on day 2 of their MBA program at Boston College when they randomly sat next to each other in their dreadful public speaking class. They quickly made a name for themselves among fellow classmates with their innovative inventions - like the world-renowned New Fashion (copyright pending) - and aced many group projects together before graduation. Girl Danni lives in New York with her personality-packed pooch, Lilly.
Jamie Beckingham
Groomsman
Jamie met Danny through their mutual friend, Boo, in high school. He lives in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston - which for you out-of-towners, is quite an achievement. Jamie is an incredibly well-rounded individual which shows in many ways but is highlighted by his adept interpersonal and conversational skills. He and Danny have much in common, including ACL ruptures and skiing. Jamie is a recent graduate, and star pupil, of Danny Ski School.
