Wedding Party

Lauren

Matron of Honor

From the first day of law school, Lauren has been one of Melissa's closest friends. Through co-curating food tours throughout New York and helping Max plan the best surprise engagement party, Melissa has no doubt that Lauren will help plan the best bachelorette party and continue the celebrations on our wedding day!

Danny

Co-Best Man

For many reasons, Danny is a pretty hard person to miss. Beyond his towering stature, Danny's dry wit, long baths, and knack for picking the best wine for any meal set him apart from most. Of note: Danny has recently become a fan favorite amongst New York City foodies in his new role at Pasquale Jones. Stop by on wedding weekend, or any time you're in the city, and look out for the 6-foot-6 gentleman calling the shots!

Jordana

Maid of Honor

From the day Jordana moved to Pennsylvania in elementary school, she has been one of Melissa's best friends and is the only person Melissa has spent a 25th anniversary with to date. Jordana brings the fun, laughter and excitement to every adventure, which will no doubt continue through our wedding weekend and all of the celebrations to come!

Ricky

Co-Best Man

From recess basketball in Westchester, to the Zog Sports playoffs every year in New York, Ricky and Max have led awe-inspiringly mediocre athletic careers together for nearly two decades. Through that, and the many whiskey drinks in between, he's proved to be a phenomenal friend and worthy partner in crime. Now he just has to plan a bachelor party and make a speech!

Chelsea

Bridesmaid

Through Hillcrest, Hebrew school, and Camp Harlam, Melissa and Chelsea were attached at the hip. They even moved into the same building in New York!

Alex

Groomsman

We'll skip the fraternity house war stories here and just say that Alex has been a great friend for a long time. His advice is best served over bourbon, neat.

Danielle

Bridesmaid

From bunkmates to Paris dinner dates, Melissa and Danielle have been friends for almost two decades. Danielle has always been one of Melissa's most thoughtful (and fashionable) friends!

Max

Groomsman

Beyond great taste in first names, Max has a number of qualities that make him a great friend. Always one for celebrating big occasions, it will be great to have his gusto close by on our big day!

Lindsay

Bridesmaid

Law school classmate, summer associate roommate, and potentially running a doggy day care out of her apartment, Lindsay has been such a big part of Melissa's life in New York since day 1!

Iggy

Groomsman

A fellow Aries, Iggy (like Max) can prove stubborn at times; however, it's often rooted in Iggy's belief that people should be doing more to contribute to a celebratory atmosphere. This should prove handy at both the bachelor party and at the wedding!

Meg

Bridesmaid

You can find Meg leading hiking tours through Mexico and saying hi to penguins in South Africa, Meg is thoughtful and adventurous. Melissa is looking forward to gaining Meg as a sister!

David

Groomsman

One of Max's first friends in DC, and his best (only) ski instructor, David has been a long-time travel buddy and confidant. Despite his insistence on moving to Texas, Max expects this to continue for many years to come.

Mathilda

Junior Bridesmaid

Melissa's cousin and future novelist, Mathilda will be Irish dancing down the aisle on our wedding day!

Chin

Groomsman

Max's big brother (see the resemblance?)! What began as a single manager-employee directive has become a great friendship with a countless number of stories, lessons, and celebrations.

Faye

Junior Bridesmaid

Melissa's cousin and an expert swimmer, Faye is a bright spot in any Portland day!

Josh

Groomsman

A grill master with a soft spot for puppies, Josh fits right into the newly-extended family. Max is excited to have him as another brother.

Capri

Junior Bridesmaid

Melissa's cousin, boat captain, and future US gymnastics Olympian, you can expect to see Capri backflipping across the dance floor on our big day!

Max

Junior Groomsman

There should be an unspoken rule that all grooms should have multiple Maxes by their side on their big day. Max (1.0) is easily the most athletic person who Max (2.0) knows. We are excited to see him bring his competitive drive to the dance floor!

Bridal Party

We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Jason

Groomsman

What began as commiserating over work travel has evolved into a great friendship, rich with basketball games, trips like Miami, dinners at Han Dynasty, and plenty of fun in between. Jason's a great friend, helpful sounding board, and welcome stand-in at Mauve Avengers basketball games.
