Wedding Party
Marcela Antonio Fortune
Maid of Honor
Marcela is the bride’s firstborn and has been by her side through many chapters of life — the good, the challenging, and everything in between. The bride often says she is a better person because of Marcela, whose wisdom, love, and support have meant more than words can express. Marcela lives close to her mum with her wonderful partner, Briana. She loves the ocean, dancing, going to concerts and shows, cooking delicious meals, and spending time with the people she loves most.
Miles Sheldon Fortune
Best Man
Miles is the bride’s youngest son and lives in Denver with his wife of nearly four years, Alyssa. Together they enjoy going to festivals, making music, and playing video games. Miles is fantastic on the BBQ, a loyal friend, and proud dog dad to Leela and Phoebe.
Alyssa Magier Fortune
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is Miles’s wife, best friend, and perfect match, and she has become a deeply cherished member of the family. Alyssa and Miles met as teenagers at Camp Akiba. Their relationship deepened through years of long distance while Alyssa attended NYU and Miles studied in California. Our families have blended together in a beautiful way, and Alyssa has been part of the family for more than ten years. She earned her Master’s in Teaching during Covid while working full time — a testament to her remarkable dedication. She and Miles now live happily in Denver with their two beloved dogs.
Tracy Grace
Wedding Greeter
Tracy is a fellow Gemini and has been affectionately described by the bride as her “Christmas present,” as the two met during holiday season. She recently returned to her hometown of Chicago, which is also the bride’s father’s birthplace. Tracy is the proud mother of two beautiful daughters and enjoys dancing and spending cozy time with her sweet pup, Hannah Chanel.

Olivia Marie
Bridesmaid
Olivia Marie is the bride’s “fairy” goddaughter and shares a special family connection with her mother, Kendall. The bride was present at both of their births, making this moment feel beautifully full circle. Olivia loves gymnastics and cheerleading, watching her big brother Miles play baseball, dressing up in heels, and playing with her baby sister, Hadley.
Evi Louise
Flower Girl
Evi is the daughter of the bride’s cousin, Loring. She loves dressing up, drawing, and playing ice hockey. Evi often tells her mum she wants to grow up to be both an artist and a scientist who makes slime. When Grandma Jonine comes to visit, Evi is known to quickly take over her iPad. She is also a wonderful big sister to her brother, Verne.
Vernon James
Ring Bearer
Vernon is named after the bride’s father’s first cousin and best friend. He already enjoys golf — a true Casanova in the making. Vernon loves swimming (especially when the beach is free of seaweed), anything with wheels, and playing with his dog Tia and his devoted sister, Evi. He is very excited to be part of OG’s (Other Grandma’s) wedding.
