He has been with Ricky, through every step, every fall, and every pickup. John has a great eye for detail, and knows how to paint a picture using his camera and editing skills. Ask him about Italian food, after all, he works at one of the best in New Jersey!
Emily Bender
Maid of Honor
Emily and Jess met a couple of years ago, but their friendship seems like its been a lifetime. Although Emily recently moved the Colorado her and Jess still try to keep in touch as much as possible. When asked how she feels about standing next to the bride on the big day she said "It's going to be the Highlight of my life!"
Khalil Dahouk
Groomsman
Khalil is Ricky's cousin. When Ricky used to live in Puerto Rico, his cousin and him used to hangout all the time. Khalil is a businessman, he sets up Airbnbs in San Juan, PR and is learning to make his businesses profitable. He is in great physical shape, will probably break your arm in an arm wrestling match. Ricky and Khalil share the love of futbol, as we are both Brasileiros.
Alysia Maria Collado
Bridesmaid
Alysia and Jess met when the roomed together at summer camp. That year was probably the craziest time for both of them, and luckily they had each other then to lean on; and now Jess has Alysia to lean on during her wedding! Alysia is a Certified Sommelier (insert gasp here) so if you're not sure what to get at the bar, ask her!
Alex Rajotte
Groomsman
Alex and Ricky met thorugh Jess, obviously. Alex is indie rock enthusiast with skills on the ukelele. As most New Englanders are, Alex is a big fan of the Boston Bruins, and his favorite player is Brad Marchand. Alex is serving in the National Guard for Rhode Island, and is overseas in Kuwait. He will be back home soon, and we can cheer with a beer in hand, that he made it safe. I now get to call you brother!
Veronica Ferron
Bridesmaid
Veronica and Jess met in their ill fated Spanish class in college! Although their Spanish is terrible, their friendship is amazing! Both of them are crazy cat ladies and love to eat good food! Veronica is a Plant Queen and the chillest girl around.
Fabio Cuchi
Groomsman
Fabio and Ricky go way way way back in elementary school, with one of the longest names (Escuela Josefita Monserrate de Selles). They have been great friends since the beginning, always up for adventures. Fabio has just graduated with an MBA in Barcelona, Spain. He is also a huge movie buff and knows how to have a good time.
Kelly Davila
Bridesmaid
Kelly and Jess were roommates together freshman year of college. Kelly was there when Jess and Ricky met for the first time after orientation and got to see their relationship blossom. Kelly was Jess's first college friend and favorite drinking buddy at Viva Mexico. So many memories between these two former roomies and cant wait to make more at the wedding!
