Maid of Honor
All of the moments in my life - from the smallest to the biggest - Ashley has always been by my side. From elementary school to high school we called ourselves "A squared" - and even ended up living on the same floor together our first year of college. We have so many memories together and I can't imagine this day without her.
Best Man
Andrew is Jeff’s older brother and best man. Their love of sports has bonded them over the years, so much so that they even both coach at WOHS. From playing sports together as kids to living together as adults, the brothers are best friends.
Bridesmaid
Emily and I have been in eachother's lives since starting Jr. High at West Essex. We became inseparable in our twenties when our love for cycling to the beat of the music, and love of ALL the things wine and cheese eventually lead us back to one another. Our affectionate nicknames became "7&8" after the bikes we fiercly rode at Soulcycle. We took on many different fitness classes together - all because we really wanted to grab a glass of champs after class.
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I are cousins - but more like sisters. Growing up we had countless sleepovers, and although we still question our mom's outfit choices for us- we have never questioned our lifelong bond! Even though Nicole lives in California, we can pick up any convo right where we left off and share nearly all the same interests.
Bridesmaid
Cassandra is my cousin - and the first baby I ever got to see born in the hospital! We have spent most Sundays at dinner together, rolling our eyes at what is going on at the table. I can't imagine my day without her by my side!
Junior Bridesmaid
Samantha is my goddaughter. From sharing her special moments with her, to our family Sunday dinners we have always had a close bond and I can't wait for her to be part of this day with me.
Flower Girl
Ella is the oldest of the two girls born to my cousin Michael. Ella loves all things princess unicorn, and loves to 'do math' with me on Sundays. She is the oldest flower girl and will be the perfect leader of the pack on our wedding day!
Flower Girl
Sophia "Sophie" Venezia is Ella's little sister. But don't let her tiny voice and demeanor fool you- she has a larger than life, spunky personality! Her heart is as big as her appetite and we can't wait to have this little girl be a part of big day!
Ring Bearer
James is Jeff's baby cousin - the first little cousin in the Gaynor family! He is the sweetest little boy. Although he currently loves to say 'no!' in his soft voice..we know he said 'yes!' to being a part of our big day. His love of Mickey Mouse makes him a perfect fit for our wedding and we can't wait to spend our day with him!
Ring Bearer
Ayden is Makayla's brother and Arielle's cousin. Ayden instantly connected with Jeff from the moment the two boys met. From their love of wrestling - like actual WWE wrestling (think Macho Man and Hulk Hogan) - to Ayden's adoration for 'Uncle Jeff' - the two have the best time together. We can't wait to have Ayden be one of our ring bearers!
Attendant
Makayla is Arielle's cousin... and they share the same dramatic personality! Although Makayla lives in Connecticut, she loves to facetime with Arielle and Jeff, send her outfit pictures, and talk about American Girl Dolls and the new trends. Makayla is like a little sister to Arielle and we can't wait to share this special time with her.
Groomsman
Nick is Arielle’s younger brother. We grew up watching countless yankee games - we can even still basically name the batting lineups from the late ‘90s! From letting me dress you up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz to now, I can’t wait to share this day with him and have him walk me down the aisle.
Groomsman
Joey and Jeff grew up together in West Orange. From kindergarten to adulthood, they talk every single day... in several group chats! Jeff was a groomsman for Joe and he is one of Jeff’s best friends. We can’t wait to have him be a part of our wedding party.
Groomsman
Pat is Jeff’s cousin and one of his closest confidants. They share special memories from childhood summers at the lake and now go to Shilelagh Law concerts together. They are so close they even lived in the same apartment complex at one point!
Groomsman
Jeff and Vin met as kids playing PAL football. They spent every Sunday of football season together with their families. It is safe to say that Vin is one of Jeff’s life long friends and we are so excited to have him be a part of our special day.
Groomsman
Jeff and Ian have been friends since Kindergarten. They grew up playing football and baseball together... and now they occasionally pour concrete together. Jeff is also part of Ian’s wedding and is so excited to have roles reversed for our day!
Groomsman
Jeff and Matt grew up together and became close friends in high school. From nights at Gaffer’s Pub to standing at Matt’s wedding with him, the two have stayed close friends. We are excited to share our day with him!
