Janine & J.J.
Wedding Party
Sarah
Maid of Honor
Sarah and Janine enjoy long walks around the reservoir and can be found drinking Pumpkin Spice drinks beginning on September 1st, regardless of the weather! Sarah is Janine's God sister, and can often be confused as her real sister. Sarah is a genuine person and is the woman you want in your corner. She will give much needed advise and spend long drives singing CARaoking to 90's country music. We can talk for hours and never run out of something to say. Sarah was there the day J.J. proposed and seemed to be just as excited as the couple!
Veljko
Best Man
Veljko is the glue that holds us all together!
Liza
Bridesmaid
Liza is the girl who knows exactly what is going on and what needs to be done! I met Liza at a conference in 2013 while working as an OCA delegate. Little did I know she would become a close friend and confidant only a few years later when I moved to the west coast. Liza has a genuinely positive energy that spreads quickly to everyone she encounters.
Paul
Groomsman
One of J.J.'s oldest friends.
Shannon
Bridesmaid
Shannon is one of Janine's best friends from college. The two loved laying upside down on the bed and talking about the most random topics. It is always amazing how these two are always on the same page. One of the best moments Janine can remember is "transforming" Shannon into a girl i.e. heels, dresses, and simply adding color to her wardrobe. They say college is the most formative part of your personality, and Shannon is by far the friend who will always be by your side. She is the Carrie to Janine's Charlotte.
Steven
Groomsman
J.J.'s brother
Steph
Bridesmaid
Steph has an infectious laugh and is so easy to talk to. Steph and Janine also met at St. Tikhon's camp and have been friends ever since. Years go by, but their friendship never changes. They still stay up late having conversations that do not seem to have a clear stream of thought, but make complete sense, some things just never change!
David
Groomsman
Janine's LITTLE brother.
Emilia
Bridesmaid
Emilia is a dancing guru! Emilia and Janine enjoy breaks at camp hanging upside down on the bed, as well as taking forever to get ready for Novogodny just to sweat off all of their hard work on the dance floor. We have an amazing friendship, because we are both terrible at keeping in touch, but somehow know when we need one another. We are clearly connected on a different level! When we do get to see one another, it is as if no time has passed!
Justin
Groomsman
J.J.'s youngest brother
Mihaela
Bridesmaid
Mihaela is the most genuinely happy and sweet woman you will ever meet. Mihaela and Janine became instant friends after being introduced by her now HUSBAND(!!!), Veljko. Nights with Mihaela often include either Shrimp Scampi or Pizza and margaritas. Attending Veljko and Mihaela's wedding was a blessing. The air was filled with love and happiness.
Paul
Groomsman
Paul Introduced J.J. and Janine.
