Deanna & Jacob
Wedding Party
Elise
Maid of Honor
Elise is more than Deanna's cousin, she is her "best-friend-forever-cousin;" a title they gave to each other as kids. Growing up together there are so many memories to chose from, but Deanna's favorite memories with Elise have been during their family vacations to Vail, Colorado. During those trips, they get to ski together, catch up by the fireplace, and celebrate New Years. It is usually during those New Years Parties where Deanna will tell Elise profusely how proud she is of her after a few glasses of champagne.
Kendall
Best Man
Kendall is Jacob’s Best man. They both went to MIT, studied mechanical engineering, played baseball, lived together all 4 years, participated in the same fraternity, interned at apple, and oddly enough they have the same birthday. Not sure people could tell them apart. There are too many good memories to count, endless hours problem setting together, time in the machine shop building random things, taking trips, partying, and hanging out. One of Jacob’s most memorable has to be when they spent a January semester building a “smart” beer fridge. A fridge capable of tracking the fraternity’s beer consumption. It’s exactly what you’d expect a couple guys in a MIT fraternity to be building.
Jillian
Bridesmaid
Jillian is Jake's sister, and Deanna's soon-to-be sister in law! Deanna's favorite memory of Jill was when she visited her in Orlando! Although they were only there for a weekend, they jam packed their stay with everything from swimsuit shopping, to going to Epcot and drinking around the world, and of course, having breakfast at Waffle House! Jake and Deanna are already looking forward to the next time they'll be able to visit!
Max
Groomsman
Max is Deanna’s brother and Jacob’s soon to be brother-in-law. Jacob’s fondest memory is when they hiked to Kalalau falls on their trip to Hawaii. It was an intense hike, filled with beaches, creeks, and waterfalls. Jacob is looking forward to continuing to build many more great memories and hiking many more trails with Max.
Nati
Bridesmaid
Nati and Deanna have been friends since they were three years old in pre-K at Epiphany Catholic School. Although they've shared many special memories together recently, including when Deanna had the honor of being a bridesmaid at Nati's beautiful wedding, her favorite memories are still from their childhood when they would play "camping" with their dolls. These truly Oscar-worthy pretend plots and performances could easily last for hours and often involved multiple bedrooms, closets, and bathrooms throughout Nati's home.
John
Groomsman
John and Jacob studied mechanical engineering together at MIT and both were in the same fraternity. They lived across the hall from each other their freshman year of college. One of Jacob’s fondest memories with John was when they worked an internship together after their freshman year. They were both instructors at an engineering camp for 5–10-year-olds. They lived together in Nashua NH, creating curriculums, learning how to teach young kids, and biking over to the local YMCA to get absolutely shredded.
Vicky
Bridesmaid
Vicky and Deanna have been best friends since high school. It was around high school and their college years that Deanna remembers some of her favorite moments with Vicky: the Bachelorette and Bachelor viewing parties! Every season premiere, Vicky would host an incredible get together at her family home complete with themed decorations, all the snacks you could want, and of course, fantasy league brackets of the contestants! Vicky has always been an incredible host, it's no wonder Deanna always has an unforgettable time whenever she visits her in NYC!
Jordan
Groomsman
Jordan and Jacob were fraternity brothers in school and are co-founders of Perch, where Jordan is their head of software. They first met when Jacob was a freshman and Jordan was visiting MIT on his volleyball recruiting trip. Jacob’s fondest memory of Jordan is that on that same trip, Jordan had a little bit too much fun, and cried out, “I Pledge Kappa Sigma!” At that point, Jordan had to wait another year to pledge, and the brotherhood wasn’t quite sure he’d make the cut. Little did Jacob know that that “party animal” would soon be a co-founder of his company and a groomsmen at his wedding.
Nicole
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Deanna have been best friends since high school. While Deanna treasures having been a bridesmaid at Nicole's unforgettable wedding, one of her favorite memories was venturing out into the Midwest to visit Nicole while she was in law school at Notre Dame! During her weekend there, they jammed out to country music, ate cheese curds at Culver's, and danced the night away at the Linebacker Lounge! Still to this day, no amount of distance has gotten in the way of this friendship.
Nate
Groomsman
Jacob and Nate lived across the hall from each other during their freshman year, played baseball together, lived in the same Fraternity, studied mechanical engineering tougher, and are now co-founders of Perch, where Nate is Perch’s CTO. One of Jacob’s favorite memories was going to a friend’s Cabin with Nate and a few others and listening to Nate play music for us. It was a Massachusetts fall, the trees and scenery were beautiful, which was only made better by Nate’s magic fingers on his guitar, his velvet voice, and his calming presence.
Sarah
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Deanna have been friends since Medical School, when Sarah told Deanna that since they were both from South Florida they should be friends. She was right! One of Deanna's favorite memories is the mini bachelorette they threw for Sarah before her wedding. A small group of friends went out for dinner, sang karaoke, and then had a sleepover at Deanna's apartment where they drank Margaritas and danced in their matching pajamas! Deanna's goal for her bachelorette is for it to be half as fun as that night was!
Jackson
Groomsman
Jacob and Jackson were high school classmates and baseball teammates. One of Jacob’s fondest memories was when Jackson visited Boston a few years ago to see Jacob and watch their friend Ty pitch against the Red Sox. Jackson met Deanna for the first time at the game. The night ended with us all grabbing dinner together with Mike Trout.
Jill
Bridesmaid
Jill and Deanna have been friends since Medical School, when they lived across from each other in Vanderbilt Hall. Their birthdays are only one day apart, which meant one thing: joint birthday parties! Deanna's favorite memory with Jill was one of these historic birthdays, when they rented a school bus and brought a group of their friends to Newport, RI to watch a Polo match! The whole day involved a lot of Lily Pulitzer, bottles of champagne, chocolate chip cookie cake, and occasionally watching the Polo. Needless to say, that birthday is a hard one to top!
Austin
Groomsman
Austin and Jacob were college fraternity bro's (excuse me "brothers"). They reconnected when Austin moved back to Boston after moving out to LA, living the Cali life, and growing out his wild man mane. Jacob's fondest memory has to be when they went to the Dominican Republic together with a few other friends. Jacob can vividly picture Austin tearing up the dance floor at Waves, the hotel club. Jacob can't wait to see more of the same at the wedding.
