Lana & Noah
Wedding Party
Elise Mocco
Maid of Honor
Elise, my older sister. Growing up together we have so many memories to laugh and smile about. We have been through just about everything together and I cannot imagine any special occasion without you! You are fun, thoughtful, caring, and the best older sister I could ever ask for. You are one of the best chefs out there… Thanks for sharing all your amazing recipes. Noah is very thankful for them as well! I couldn’t be happier to have you standing by my side on my big day. Love you so much!
Mark Gellman
Best Man
He lives in Fort Lauderdale, I lived closer to South Beach, but our friendship really started in Tallahassee. Our 3-year stint as roommates always had a sink full of dishes, a couch full of brothers, and a bond that will never be broken. I never had a brother growing up, but MARK MARK MARK quickly became the closest thing to it. He's the Best Man at my wedding and I can't wait to return the favor at his. Hopefully the brunch doesn't have waffles. Not sure we can eat another one.
Taylor Montanarella
Bridesmaid
Taylor went from an acquaintance in high school, to a random freshman roommate, to a roommate throughout college, sorority sister, and best friend. Thank you for setting Noah and I up on Noah’s senior year formal to New Orleans. I can always count on you to make me laugh and make my day better. I will always treasure our adventures together. My favorite adventure was our 1 month backpacking trip through Thailand together. I couldn’t be happier to have you standing by my side on my big day. Love you so much Tay!
Evan Horowitz
Groomsman
I couldn't go through this day without my Co-Chef in the kitchen. The odds he WON'T be standing by my side as a groomsman? +15000. Though, there's value in placing that bet because when we get together things get hectic. It's crazy to think that friends from 5th grade are still relevant in my life today, but there are around 20 of us still going strong. A champion in his own right, Evan is a brother for life. #BBFFL
Mallory Brumer
Bridesmaid
I met Mal during our FSU college days. We both joined the same sorority, Sigma Delta Tau, and immediately bonded. Freshman year, you were my favorite 3rd roomie. I couldn't imagine the next three years of college without you, Al, and Tay as my roommates. Those were probably the best years of our lives. We have so many memories and adventures. Although college days are over, I am thankful we have managed to stay so close. I love visiting you in NYC and spending time together when you come home to FL. I am so happy FSU and SDT brought us together! Love you Mal!
Jason Shapiro
Groomsman
This wedding party would not be the same without everyone's favorite groomsman and/or bachelor party attendee. Our friendship goes back to elementary school and I know it's been bred to last. We've seen Canada, Costa Rica, and hopefully, before he moves back, we'll check out Amsterdam together. No matter the time in between seeing one another, we always pick up right where we left off. My wedding day wouldn't be the same without him by my side. #BBFFL
Alison Horowitz
Bridesmaid
I have “known” Alison since high school. Although she went to Coral Glades and I went to Taravella we had a few mutual friends. One weekend, I ended up at her house party somehow and the rest was history!! Then, we rekindled our relationship summer C at FSU. We spent countless days together going to Suwanee (FSU foodhall) for meals and omelets. Then, we went on to rush the same sorority, SDT, and end up living across from each other in our dorms at FSU. This led to us living together for the rest of college. We couldn’t be more of a match… from loving to workout together to having the same taste palate (we always want the same food so we can always share our meals). I am so lucky to have you by my side! Love you Al!
Ryan Schwartz
Groomsman
Is it COVID-friendly to go to a concert yet? If so, Schwartz and I will be there. The only thing missing from our friendship is a new Kendrick album. We met in college, but quickly became best friends. The Georgia boy adds some Southern Hospitality to the wedding party. And if he doesn't bring that, he better bring some Tropicalia flare to South Florida. My pledge brother and real brother for life.
Samantha Barhai
Bridesmaid
Sam is Noah's older sister and Lana's new sister to be! We love spending time together around the holidays, family vacations, and spending time as a family! Thank you for giving us our favorite niece and nephew, Cooper and Corey. We are so happy for you and your entire family to be apart of our Bridal Party. We love our Barhai's! We can't wait for all the future fun Barhai/Mindel family activities. We love you!
Ron Barhai
Groomsman
The husband to my sister? Or the closest thing I have to a brother within my own family? Ron has been in my life since I was in high school and I'm incredibly happy for that. He knows I would do anything for him and I know he would do anything and everything for me. We've shared so many good times together and I can't wait to see him up there with me on my wedding day.
Kelly Doyle
Bridesmaid
Kelly has been one of my best friends since I moved to Florida. We met our freshman year of high school in cheerleading and fashion class. Over the years, I have become very close to both Kelly and the entire Doyle family. I love being included in all the family vacations and celebrations. One of my craziest adventures/memories with Kelly and her family was traveling to NYC and watching the ball drop on NYE. We stood outside in the freezing cold for about 11 hours just to see the ball drop. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish that bucket list item with anyone else! You are one of the most beautiful, caring, and determined woman I know. I am so lucky to have a friend like you by my side. Love you Kell!
Alec Rubio
Groomsman
Three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and Rubio picking me up in a grey Civic. That car has seen it's fair share of South Florida, but for some reason, back in the day the trip was always to Panera. That was our go-to.. but now whenever he comes home from his 6-9 month stint at Sea, we check out the nearest seafood joint to crack a few cold crabs and a few more cold beers to talk and enjoy life. One of the most determined and driven friends I have. He would travel across the world to be there for my wedding day and I am grateful for that.
Nicole Avarello
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I both met at FSU and joined the same sorority where we both became "twins" in the same sorority family. This is where the bond started but did not stop. Over the years, we have experienced FSU football games, sorority activities, spring break cruises, and countless memories. College years and beyond are always memorable with you! You are one of the sweetest and thoughtful friends. I love visiting you and Tucker in Charlotte! I am so happy to have you by my side. Love you Nicole!
Danny Fisboin
Groomsman
I'm a caller, not a texter. And if anyone has fallen victim to some early morning or middle of the afternoon calls, it's Danny. Between the months of September - December, it's mainly to trash talk fantasy football.. in other months it's to look ahead to the next season and start the mind games early. From the baseball fields as kids, to crushing the wedding dance floors as adults, Fishbones will always be a brother to me. #BBFFL
Jenna Luks
Bridesmaid
Jenna and I met at FSU through our sorority SDT. We have so many memories together: SDT recruitment, FSU football games, going out DT, water skiing, HH's, and sharing all of our favorite foodie spots. You are one of the best bagel spread maker and spinach and artichoke dip creator. You always make sure my stomach is well fed! You are so sweet and caring, and I couldn't be happier to have you stand by me on this special day! Love you Jenna!
Jordan Kotlar
Groomsman
When the two of us get together... most likely we can't catch our breath. And it's probably because Kot made an absolutely ridiculous joke that I just can't stop laughing to. The absolute life of the party, Kotlar knows how to live life to the fullest. Between jokes and just absurd behavior, he and I never have a dull moment. I know that with the stresses of a wedding, I'll need two things: my back cracked, and a good laugh. He can help with both. #BBFFL
Corey Barhai
Flower Girl
Coco! Our favorite girl/niece in the world! We love you so so much and you always bring a smile to our face. We love our daily facetime's and all the fun adventures we go on. Thank you for being the most special little girl in our life. We are so happy for you to be apart of our big day.
Cooper Barhai
Ring Bearer
Cooper! Our favorite nephew/ring bearer! We adore you and love watching you grow up. You are such a charmer and always bring a smile to our face. We are so happy to have you apart of our wedding party. We love you so much!
