Ewurama (Alexa)'s Wedding Party
Christina - Maid Of Honor
Funny Memory:
Anytime Alexa would come over she would try to pick up my 80lbs dog and that put a smile on my face and a confused look on my dogs face!
Esmeralda - Bridesmaid
How we met:
I vividly remember the day I met Lexi through my fiance Jacob; it felt like fate had a hand in bringing us together. From the moment we exchanged smiles and introductions, there was an undeniable connection that sparked between us. We chatted effortlessly, sharing laughter and stories as if we had known each other for years. It was clear that we were meant to be a part of each others lives, and I felt an instant sense of comfort and understanding. Our bond has only grown stronger since that day, and I cherish the beautiful friendship we have built together!
Emily - Bridesmaid
Fun Fact:
I've known Jack longer than Alexa!
Miranda - Bridesmaid
How we met:
Lexi and I match each others energy almost all the time so it's no surprise that we clicked when we met through Emily and Addie. We recently were together for Emily's bachelorette and we almost didn't make it out of AC! But that's to be expected from us!
Addie - Bridesmaid
How we met:
I was fortunate to meet Alexa my freshman year of college. I became friends with Emily as we lived on the same floor. All because of that i then was able to met Alexa (story in its own lol). After we met we became very close and i loved everything about her and her personality. I knew she was a keeper! That same year I met Jack when he came to visit Alexa at school, unfortunately my resting bitch face made him think i didn't like him, but that was not the case! Over the last 9 years i was able to become so close with both of them. Alexa was a blast at school, always down to do anything. After college i was so sad when they moved to Texas but was so happy for the both of them! They are both extremely hard working and loving people! I am so glad that I can call Alexa one of my best friends and her and Jack finally tie the knot! I love you both!
Haleigh - Bridesmaid

We met through mutual friends but truly bonded through silk/lyra and taco nights afterwards! <3
Marisa - Bridesmaid
How we met:
Me and the beautiful Alexa met when Christina and I made our journey up to UAlbany and I remember walking in your room. You were so sweet and welcoming!
Sascha - Bridesmaid
Lexi and I met through my favorite social butterfly/extrovert, Courtney Dommert, and bonded over our love for dance! <3
Jack's Wedding Party
Matt (The Judge, The Jury, The Executioner) - Best Man
Funny Memory: One of my favorite memories with Jack goes back to when we were 8. Sophia, Jared's mom, had promised to take Jack, Jared, me and her friend Melissa to a fancy five-star hotel in Connecticut that had tons of fun stuff for kids like us. After a car ride filled with excitement, she took us to a local buffet, and we couldn't stop cracking up at how much she loved crab legs. But the real laugh came when we arrived at the hotel; instead of the five-star place, she ended up taking us to a Marriott off exit 60 (still on long island) and tried to pass it off as Connecticut!

Funny Memory:
One of my funniest memories I have with Jack is early in our friendship, Jack introduce me to the NHL video game famously known as 'CHEL'. We would play for hours and hours; It took me months to even get good at the game. As close (or far) as the games would be, Jack would beat me time and time again... then on day I beat him 4-3 in overtime. Jack leans forward in his chair just as I win the game... Looks me dead in the eyes... and says "they'll never believe you" as he proceeded to shut off the system, as I try to take a photo. I love this story because it speaks volumes to how competitive we are!

How we met/Favorite memory:
Jack and I met very young in elementary school, and before long, I was practically living at his house, sleeping over most days of the week. One night, we were out walking - it was dark, and I had never walked at night without an adult before. Suddenly, Jack told me to start running because, according to him, we were being chased. I didnt even question it - I just took off. After what felt like 20 minutes (but was probably only a few seconds), he stopped me, turned to me with a big grin, and said, "we're not being chased!" and burst out laughing. My fear immediately turned into relief - and a little embarrassment too.
From that point on, Jack and I were always finding ourselves in little adventures like that, and those moments became the highlight of my childhood. Looking back, it wasn't just the fun we had - it was the way Jack always brought laughter and excitement to everything we did. He's been that person ever since!

How we met:
I met Jack our freshman year of high school, I remember seeing this big ass kid same size as myself in a aqua green/teal Echo Unltd. shirt! I don't know why I always thought that was hilarious. Anyways that's when we met.
Our friendship really began the first weekend trip we took to our good friend Bailey's dad's house (Brad) out in Shelter Island. I remember going out there all the time throughout our four year high school journey. Those times we all had out there, the three of us and also Matt Rusch a few times too. Those are my most fond memories, the best one being the MUSHROOM story when we were all playing manhunt and I was hiding in the pitch black pool for like 2 hours, then the impossible happened... THEY FOUND ME! All I can remember is singing M U S H R DOUBLE O M! and we starting dying laughing! Every now and again Jack and I will play that back for the laugh!
Couldn't be happier for this kid! Thank you for the best memories growing up! Life is easy when we're all chillin.
Much love!

Funny Story:
Me and Jack go back so far that he might as well change his last name to Foley! About 10 years ago me and Jack went skiing in Utah. The trip started out rough, with Jack breaking up with his ex girlfriend. So he was down until he realized skiing was much better than dating! As the trip continues the drama between him and his ex continues. So at one point Jack walked away from his phone. What do you think an immature highschool kid does to an unlocked phone? He takes his buddies phone and tells his ex that they should get back together, of course! Jack comes back to his phone blowing up with texts and calls. In shock Jack asks "what did you do!?" and I replied with "fixing your problem". Me knowing damn well that was going to start a fire that he just put out. So Jack is beyond pissed that he has to break up with his ex girlfriend once again. Jack would spend unknown hours breaking up with his ex once again and later beat the shit out of me that same night. To this day, we still laugh and think about the things we learned in this moment. Jack's was to put a password on his phone and find a better woman. Mine was to stay in sight of people to witness in case Jack wants to kill me again. Years later, you've found THE ONE and I wish nothing but the best for you guys!

Funny Memory:
I have no memory of when I first met Jack, he's been in my life as long as I can remember. Brother from another mother! So I'll share a funny memory we have.
This story is a more recent one, and it's from when me and Jake went to visit Jack at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Before the night started we said we were taking it easy so we wouldn't be hungover the next day. We did everything but take it easy! Jack gets us into a party that was only for the frat brothers, we enjoy the party. THEN things start heating up when we are on our way back to the dorms. Starting off by stealing an Uber from a guy named John, the Uber tried kicking us out, we say no we'll pay you extra to get us back. Uber agrees and starts driving, we go back to talking and completely forget where to tell the Uber to go (Jack being the only one familiar with the area)! Uber says "um where are we going?" and Jack says "ahhhh my bad, you had to turn like 10 minutes ago". Finally get back to the dorms and it just felt right to ask the entire hall... "WHO WANTS ONE?", so we proceed to run through the halls and knock on doors to see "who wants one?". We get back to his room just in time to put on Planet Earth. Then we hear a knock at the door, I go to answer it and look through the peep hole. I open the door and say "Papa John's is here! ". The guy walks through the door and says "I'm not Papa John's, I'm the RA, please quiet down it's 4am". So no Papa John's for us! We put Planet Earth back on to fall asleep, UNTILL Jake starts snoring, I drag him outside to sleep in the common area and we wrap the night up around 5am! So much for taking it easy! Little did we know this weekend would set the tone for Thanksgiving eve 2 weeks later. "You have a beautiful horse Miss" - (ask Jack about it)!

Favorite Memory:
I would say one of my favorite memories with Jack is when we were all home from college and there was a snow storm. We thought it would be a good idea to have a drive by snowball fight. We drive all around all around the neighborhood with shovels , throwing entire piles of snow into each others cars!
