Matron of Honor
Being the older sister of the bride, Rhea is probably the GOAT (greatest of all time) of the bridal party! Rhea has endured 27 years of annoyance from her sister, and still chooses to hangout with her! (Also without her, I wouldn’t have met Tony so thanks sissy!) Rhea is the best friend, sister, and role model I can ask for. I am so lucky to be close to her, and to have both her guidance and company through life. There is no one else I’d want to stand next to me on this monumental day.
Best Man
John was a no-brainer to stand by my side. Not because he's my brother, but because I couldn't think of anyone who would bring more passion and energy to the entire day (not to mention plan one hell of a bachelor party.) Like any pair of siblings, we were rivalrous and mutually irritating at times. Yet, I always looked up to his smarts, drive and John as a person.
Bridesmaid
The first time I met Victoria was in the 4th grade when she walked over to my house (barefoot, of course) telling me that she was my new next door neighbor. Since that moment, we have had more memories than I could count. She is probably the one person (other than my family) that I have spent the most time of my childhood and adolescent life with. I am so lucky that no matter the distance between us, our 19-year friendship has never dwindled or gotten less weird. Also, thanks for still being my friend even though I stole all your friends!
Double role: Groomsman + OFFICIANT!
Elijah was one of the first people I met when moving to Florida. He's always going out of his way to ensure everyone has a good time, whether having a few drinks, going to sporting events, traveling, or quoting every single line from every comedy...ever. Being my soon to be sister-in-law's husband, we're in a bit of a grey area as far as him being my "brother." But, we're close enough.
Bridesman
Juan has been my best friend for 11 years. He has been there for me through so many unforgettable moments in my life, both good and bad. There is no one else that I’d rather go to a Lady Gaga concert or play zombies with! We have such a wonderful, versatile friendship that I cherish more than I can explain. There is no universe in which Juan wouldn’t be standing next to me on yet another incredible moment of my life.
Groomsman
I met Ryan a few times before Reva and I started dating but it wasn't until then that I got to spend more time around him. Meeting the big brother can be a bit stressful, but Ryan and I quickly bonded over sports and....well, mostly sports. Ryan is definitely one of the more fun-loving, down-for-anything type of guys I know and I am sure he will be the life of the party come wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Another one of my longest friendships. The first time I met ally she was a beautiful blonde wearing a white shirt and a brown belt, so naturally I thought she was a “mean girl”. Haha oh how I was wrong! Ally is one of the SWEETEST, smartest, most caring, genuine people I know. I am so lucky to have traveled through Europe with her a few years ago, and have made memories that will last us a lifetime. Can’t wait to see what other memories we will share.
Groomsman
You know that one cousin that you fight off fake bad guys in the basement with for hours on end as little kids? Yeah...meet Daniel. We grew up together in St. Louis and often times were attached at the hip. He's one of the kindest and wittiest men I know. Daniel, I'll consider playing 3 Ninjas during the reception on the big screen.
Bridesmaid
Noelle and I have gone through many, many, many different phases of our lives together. From our annoying teen years, to experiencing the fun of your young adult heads, to actually understanding how to be a (semi) real adult without going crazy. Noelle helps me remember to take care of myself, which is something that has shaped me in my daily life. All in all, everyone needs a Noelle-type friend in their life.
Groomsman
The amount of crazy stories that Peter and I have over our two plus decades of friendship is unfathomable. One of my closest friends from childhood. Some may say I was the Shawn Hunter of the Fleischer household. We played on the same sports teams, shared the same memories, and in 2020 got engaged just 3 months apart.
Bridesmaid
Brittney and I became friends in 6th grade and have continued to stay close since then. I guess becoming friends during the awkward years of your life causes you to be lifelong friends! From being roommates on our Washington DC trip, to piercing my ear, to begging your mom to let you sleep over my house, we have shared so many crazy memories over these past 15 years. I am so happy we have stayed close and couldn’t ask for a better friend to stand alongside me on yet another monumental memory in the making!
Groomsman
I'm pretty sure I didn't have a weekend during middle school where Quenten was not at my mom's house. Madden, Cici's pizza, and basketball was only the foundation of what was to come over the years. I am quite certain 90% of our other endeavors are best not shared on Zola. If you're looking for a partner in crime to have a good time, it's this guy.
Bridesmaid
My and Kelly’s story began one day in 1st grade when I went over to her house and fell off her trampoline. That was the start of a 22 year friendship full of countless jokes (mostly her making fun of me), dozens of sleep overs, trips to the keys, family dinners, (fake) fights, and innumerable wonderful memories. No matter how long Kelly and I go without seeing each other (her recently finishing law school and me finishing PA school), our friendship resumes like nothing has changed. So happy to have my Cuban sister apart of my life after all of these years.
Groomsman
Out of my childhood friends, I've known Zach for the least amount of time. However, we've shared more good times than I can possibly count. If you're looking for someone to takeover Key West with for a weekend, it's Zachary Warner. Never a dull moment with one of the most animated characters I've ever known.
Bridesmaid
Want someone to binge Harry Potter with? How about someone to indulge in all of your favorite foods with? Or start a book club with? What about someone who you will have 3 completely different conversations with on 3 different forms of social media with? That’s Jen Hammer. One of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet, and one I’m so lucky to have her as one of my bridesmaids.
Groomsman
The very first guy I met when I moved to Florida. The one and only, "Swede." One of the most charismatic souls in South Florida, and he's always down for a good time. Fun fact: If it weren't for Swede, I ultimately wouldn't have met Reva. So, I guess a thanks in in order.
Bridesmaid
Riley Boyle, my favorite hype woman!! If I ever ever need someone to either hype me up, or bring me back to earth (aka do facemasks together after a long weekend), it’s Riley. She is one of the funniest, honest, loving, caring people I know. I couldn’t ask for a better friend to spend my weekends with. Maths forever
Groomsman
I've had the pleasure of knowing Dave since 2012. What can I say? He plays the sax, guitar, has built an entire computer, and can fly a plane (kind of). He's one of the sharpest guys around and a fellow 'It's Always Sunny' aficionado. If you can't spot him at the wedding, he'll be the one passing out his "Hello My Name Is" cards.
Bridesmaid
Emma is one of the sweetest human beings to walk the earth. I am so happy that we have gotten closer thanks to our love of all things dogs and yoga. The moment I met her years ago, I knew she was the kind of friend everyone needs: someone who boosts you up and is there for you when you need them. Yogis/dog moms forevaa
Groomsman
Despite being a Cubs fan, TJ and I hit it off right away as roommates in 2015. He's always down for some wings, beer and baseball. Undoubtedly, TJ is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. If I was in a bind and needed someone to have my back, it's this guy. Looking forward to being in his wedding party, as well.
