Wedding Party
Alana Segelman
Maid of Honor
Talia’s little sister, confidante, and round-the-clock nurse extraordinaire. When Alana isn’t on call (for either her patients or Talia), you’ll find her vibing to Rihanna, doom-scrolling TikTok, or indulging in her ever-growing collection of self-care essentials.
Tyler Hechler
Best Man
Justin’s older brother, best friend, and Best Man: a Sudoku wizard with a hint of OCD, Tyler once selflessly took the fall for our cousin Adam (allegedly) peeing off a cruise ship balcony. He’s known for his deep love of chicken parm, spending 30 minutes on his hair, and always laying up on par-3s.
Rachel Hechler
Bridesmaid
Meet DOCTOR Rachel Hechler — Justin’s little sister and his number-one fan. She runs her own thriving practice by day, and by night you’ll spot her at NYC’s hottest social clubs, rubbing elbows with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, John Mayer, and more.
Brett Segelman
Groomsman
Talia’s brother (and only-slightly obligatory groomsman), is a one-man band and a walking news ticker—your go-to for obscure current events and ensuring dinner gets served at a normal hour at Talia’s parents’ house. Once his mom’s favorite child, he has since been replaced at the top of the totem pole by his fiancé, Abbey.
Abbey Taub
Bridesmaid
Talia’s soon-to-be sister-in-law and Brett’s fiancé. A passionate advocate for foreign affairs, she’s also a die-hard BUCS fan with an irrational fear of birds. When she’s not cheering on her team, you’ll find her enjoying a front-row seat to Brett’s piano performances. As Talia and Alana say, they’re “OBSESSED with their girl”—and once you meet her, you’ll understand why.
Adam Hechler
Groomsman
Justin’s oldest cousin—and Grandma Anita’s alleged second favorite. Adam famously disputes Tyler’s Best Man title, claiming the election was rigged. He’s best known for finding his golf ball no matter how awful the shot—a talent unmatched in the family. Claims he didn’t pee off the balcony.
Kristen Hechler
Bridesmaid
Though her name is Kristen, she embodies the spirit of the quintessential Jewish mom. As COO of WayTrade, she excels in the boardroom—and when she steps off the clock, she’s lighting up the dance floor and crafting the most irresistible challahs and pierogis. From city life to suburban bliss, she treasures every moment with her two daughters—Justin & Talia’s beloved niece and flower girl.
Sean Hechler
Groomsman
Whether it’s hot dogs, wet dogs (the Jets), or actual pet dogs—Sean’s your guy. A picky eater with similar taste to Justin, his favorite foods include chicken parm from MiMi’s, smash burgers, and the chicken salad Grandma made specifically for Adam. Was once left by his family in “Home Alone” fashion.
Jordan Zaslow
Bridesmaid
Talia’s cousin and the embodiment of “Funny Girl” in real life. The epicenter of wit, charm, and boundless energy, she effortlessly balances stilettos with purpose. As the founder and president of Her Bold Move, Jordan leads with passion and determination. Whether she's public speaking or rocking to "Elmo's World" with her kids, she does it all with grace and humor.
David Kantrowitz
Groomsman
Justin’s oldest cousin on his mom’s side and the human embodiment of the Aruba party package. Dave was voted “Most Improved Cousin” in 2019, though his golf game remains a work in progress—unlike Adam, he rarely finds his ball after a bad shot. Dave remains the only member of the family with a six-pack, but Hechler events usually call for a keg.
Alex Zaslow
Bridesmaid
Talia’s cousin and co-founder of the exclusive “Middle-Child-Syndrome” club (membership: 2). Together, they share a bond so unique that even their parents are skeptical it exists. But Alex isn't just a sibling middleman; she's a powerhouse writer and producer, crafting some of the most compelling and newsworthy stories of our time. She is known for eating every last olive, her fandom for a Wawa hoagie, and her joy in embracing the adventure of motherhood.
Daniel Kantrowitz
Groomsman
Justin’s youngest cousin and a future lawyer currently double majoring in criminal defense and beer pong. If you ever get arrested, Dan promises to get you out—even if it takes 30 years.
Eden Zaslow
Bridesmaid
Talia’s cousin, her “twin” despite separate births, and partner-in-crime for too many giggles to count. Eden lights up any dance floor like she’s “BURNIN’ UP” and insists she’s not a Disney adult… while simultaneously owning all the merch, visiting the parks every year, and living her best theme-park life. Ask about their “cousins and best friends” status at your own risk—they’ll happily talk your ear off.
Sean Korenkov
Groomsman
One of Justin’s oldest friends, affectionately known as “Hollywood” thanks to his star-making turn as a tree in their high school’s West Side Story. Sean rocks Canadian tuxedos, loves a heavy dose of hair product, and actually enjoys going to the gym (with or without his wife’s encouragement).
Erika Zaslow
Bridesmaid
Another one of Talia’s beloved cousins (technically second cousins, but don’t say it). From snow-tubing straight into trees to endless beach summers, they practically grew up side by side. When Erika isn’t commandeering Talia’s space (or vice versa), she’s planning her wedding, creating perfectly vibey TikToks, or getting home before her parents just to keep the legend alive.
Jordan Mackler
Groomsman
A Michigan grad who somehow isn’t annoying about it. Jordan is one of Justin’s friends from growing up, known for his impression of triangle face from Your Highness. Turns out he couldn’t hack it at MIT business school and dropped out to start his own tech company.
Aubrey Levin
Bridesmaid
B*TCH, PLEASE. If you don’t know Aubrey, how did you even get invited to this wedding? (Just kidding!) Before masterminding Talia’s bridal shower and bachelorette antics, she chauffeured Talia to the ER—not once, not twice, but four times—and survived adventures across Israel, London, Iceland, and Sweden. When she’s not cramming into twin beds with Talia in West Virginia, she’s nose-deep in a book or spending every last penny at Sephora.
Zack Lavin
Groomsman
Former investment banker turned private equity guru, Zach is a master at changing font sizes in PowerPoint. He is the king of useless facts and can tell you which Czechoslovakian ping pong player to bet on at 3 A.M. He enjoys long walks on the beach and has been known to spend his free time reading obscure Wikipedia pages—just in case he ever gets that Jeopardy callback (he hasn’t applied yet).
Jacquelyn Gulshen
Bridesmaid
Equal parts mischief and mayhem, Jacquelyn is basically a walking adventure. You’ll find her holding the pot while Talia stirs it—literally and figuratively. From dancing on elevated surfaces in college to casting wedding-day spells, eating hibachi in a thunderstorm, and accidentally “clipping” a deer in the Hamptons, these two have done it all! Now she’s living the full “Martha’s Vineyard American Dream,” ruffled shirt on, dirty martini in hand, alongside her new husband.
Mikey Ehrlich
Groomsman
Childhood friend turned music industry insider and NFT enthusiast. Mikey’s never met a parlay he didn’t like and lives life with a “don’t stress” attitude. From LA to NYC, he’s always down to slide through and link you into the next big song.
Dina Resnick
Bridesmaid
The first person Talia met at Syracuse, turned roommate, and sparked a decade-plus friendship worthy of any rom-com. Over the years, they’ve uncovered shared ancestral graveyards, hometown dads, and Philly-area moms. Secretly related in a past life? Possibly. In this one, they’re claiming it! When not diving into genealogical adventures, Dina’s surviving in the woods with compact foods and making friends with squirrels, grass, and anything that can’t escape her infectious aura.
Brandon Goldberg
Groomsman
Justin’s oldest friend on the ticket and a true renaissance man—real estate professional, club promoter, crypto day trader. Possibly the only person who’s seen Entourage more times than Justin himself. A Taylor Swift super-fan, he finally decided to propose to his girlfriend of 10 years so they could be engaged at the same time.
Stephanie McGill
Bridesmaid
Talia’s first and most “random” NYC roommate. From hauling mattresses up walk-ups to bargain-hunting furniture from JUNK and walking 40 blocks to save on subway fare, they practically grew up together. Now, Steph wrangles her own mini Noah’s Ark—2 dogs, 2 bunnies, 2 hamsters, and a cat—while surviving cross-country moves, proving that chaos can indeed be cute.
Max Kershner
Groomsman
Justin’s fraternity big brother and former roommate in NYC. Once the life of the party, Max now proudly calls it a night by 7 P.M. Expect to find him watching college football on his phone during the ceremony.
Libby Shayo
Bridesmaid
Talia met Libby at the height of her single days, long before meeting THE ONE. Social media calls her the ultimate Jewish mom—never had kids, but somehow nails every overprotective, chaotic, hilarious trait. Can’t find her at Sugarfish, scrolling TikTok, or fangirling at a Justin Bieber concert? She’s probably holding court at the city’s most elite coffee spot… Dunkin’.
Matt Brenner
Groomsman
Built like an 80-year-old but with more heart than anyone. Matt’s a Maryland friend who never complains—despite having more back problems than Tiger Woods. He’s always the first to make plans and never says no to a shot. Be a friend—order him one at the wedding.
Mischa Hechler
Flower Girl
Talia and Justin’s very first niece, and they’re absolutely smitten. They’re embracing their roles as the “cool Aunt and Uncle” over the “responsible adults,” starting with gifting her a pink Hot Rod! Mischa’s favorite things include playing in the grass, chasing bubbles, watching Ms. Rachel, and splashing in the pool. Right now, she’s perfecting her skill of throwing petals on the ground.
Daniel Cooper
Groomsman
Born and raised on the tough suburban streets of Tenafly, Daniel now splits his weekends between Miami and the Hamptons. Justin’s mom thought his first name was “Cooper” for three years… and honestly, so did he.
Evelyn Hechler
Flower Girl
At just two months old, she’s already mastering the art of napping, snacking, and captivating everyone she meets. Talia and Justin are utterly obsessed as her aunt and uncle—though Justin is still working up the courage to actually hold this tiny human, he can’t wait to toss her around in the backyard with her sister.
