Hi, I am Kunj.
Freddy's been my best friend since we were both 13 years old. We have fond memories of bike riding, throwing cattails into the pond, and rollercoasters at six flags. He is a pretty good guy. He has luscious hair and his barber charges him double.
I met Jewls on New Years Eve 2014 and instantly knew that they were a good match. Jewls and I have spent many a nights tasting new cuisines, going to art galleries, and attending the Boston orchestra. I am somewhat impressed with Jewls' ability to eat spicy food. Jewls is very caring and very nurturing. She is a wonderful person.
It has been over a decade of knowing Jewls and Freddy and they have became like a brother and sister to me. I want to congratulate them on their lives together and wish them the best in this new adventure.
Sláinte!
Erin Moody - Maid of Honor
I've grown up with both Julia and Freddy. As my sister, Julia and I shared a room my whole life, not by necessity, but by choice. We have been together for many milestones, from riding a bike to picking which college to attend… “Go Huskies!.” Through all this, we have become more than sisters, we are best friends. All my favorite memories have Juju in them and I know many of the rest will too.
Freddy and Julia met when I was 12 years old. As soon as he came over for the first time, I knew they were going to have a fairytale romance. The best surprise was gaining a brother. He was the only person that was able to comfort me through some of the toughest times, and I couldn’t imagine my life without him in it.
I graduated from UConn in 2022 and I am currently working as an Actuary at Prudential while studying for all my exams. All this would not have been possible without the constant support from Julia and Freddy. I am excited for many more memories to come. Best of luck to the best couple ever!
Eva Pockoski - Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Eva, one of Julia's bridesmaids.
Julia has been a dear friend of mine since I was a baby. We grew up together and I will always cherish the memories of our childhood. We built forts, played manhunt, had 4 day sleepovers, made hopscotch that covered the whole street - there was never a dull moment. :)
I was even there when Julia and Freddy first started dating and remember how they instantly clicked. It was evident to everyone around them that they were meant to be together.
Over the years, I watched Julia grow into the beautiful, kind, and compassionate woman that she is today. She had always been a loyal and supportive friend, and I have no doubt that she will make a wonderful wife.
As she embarks on this new chapter in her life, I am so excited to be here for this part of her journey. I know that her wedding day will be a beautiful celebration of love and I am so grateful to be a part of it.
Jack Zhang - Bridesman
When an Asian boy (yes, that's me!) mysteriously appeared in Julia's college life, she seized the opportunity to create her very own Kunj – because, let's face it, who wouldn't want a friendship as legendary as Freddy and Kunj's?
We first met when Julia stumbled upon me when she sat down for math tutoring at the Q center. Little did she know that this encounter would lead to late-night study sessions, MIS club adventures, and the comforting aroma of pasta night at McMahon. Julia, the unstoppable force of hard work and passion since college, has been my eternal inspiration. Attempting to keep pace with her both academically and professionally has turned me into the worker I am today. Witnessing the beautiful connection between Freddy and Julia, where confidence meets motivation, fills my heart with joy.
So, here's to Julia's happiest day, where love takes center stage! Congratulations, Julia and Freddy! May your journey be as extraordinary as the friendship that inspired it. Cheers!
Shannon Barker - Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Shannon! I am a science teacher in Virginia, but I’m originally from New York. I met Julia and Freddy through my boyfriend, Jacob, who is one of the groomsmen. Julia and I’s connection was immediate (we were cut from the same stone, I’m sure of it) and I am so thankful to be in her and Freddy’s life ever since! The love they share is wonderful and I could not be happier for the two of them going into this next chapter in their lives. Cheers to the two of you!
Emily Brewer - Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Emily! Juju has been my partner in crime since elementary school. Some of my best childhood memories are of us making strange (but delicious) sugary concoctions, choreographing dance routines, and sitting together at the computer writing our book and dreaming up another world. Our friendship is the reason I discovered my love for writing, and Juju remains one of the most influential people in my life. I’m so grateful to be part of Juju and Freddy’s big day!
Spencer Buckley - Groomsman
Hi I’m Spencer. I met Freddy and Julia my freshman year of college, living directly across the hall. Julia and I hit it off as friends right away which allowed me the privilege of meeting Freddy and becoming fast friends with one the best men I’ve had the privilege of meeting spending movie nights, volleyball games, and all of the new years events that have come since then. From watching tremors on a white sheet in the dorm room to watching them get engaged in the backyard of their home I’ve loved and cherished every moment with both Freddy and Julia.
Best and love,
Spencer
Brian Chen - Groomsman
Hi I'm Brian, a long time friend of Freddy's. I first met him in our highschool's FIRST Robotics club where we bonded through long nights of hard work on our teams robot. We would have team dinners and game nights that were always a blast. Later we met up again in junior year of college at UConn and became roommates. We had many good times pulling all nighters playing video games and going on midnight runs to insomnia cookies. Julia and Freddy are the perfect couple, here's to them starting this exciting new chapter in their lives!
Daniel Litin - Groomsman
I met Julia and Freddy through Erin, Julia's sister and maid of honor. Following their lead, Erin and I have been dating since high school, through college, and into starting our careers. The four of us are a tight knit group who do almost everything together. Over the past 6 years, Freddy and I have bonded over our similar sense of humor and competitive spirit. We both enjoy making each other laugh. We play cards weekly and whether it’s against each other in poker or on the same team at setback, it’s likely to get competitive.
I’m the odd man out of the group having received my BA and MBA at the University of Hartford instead of UConn. In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports like Volleyball, Football, and Powerlifting.
Congrats to the couple!
Jacob Rossini - Groomsman
My name is Jacob Rossini! I live in Roanoke, VA with my girlfriend and dog, Calypso. I work as a mobile engineer in the area. I have known Freddy since freshman year of high school before my family made the move from CT to VA. Freddy and I have managed to stay close friends through things like weekly gaming sessions, New years eve parties, and friendsgiving celebrations. When Freddy introduced me to Julia, she was incredibly sweet and I could immediately tell that she was a great match for Freddy. I wish them nothing but the best in this next chapter of their lives together!
Eric Orsini - Junior Groomsman
I’m Eric and I’m the grooms cousin. I honestly don’t remember the first time I met Freddy, him being my cousin and all. He’s always just been there and someone I could look up to, but now, finally, he is the one looking up to me (I’m taller now). On a serious note Freddy is one of my most favorite people and such an amazing cousin, and I’m incredibly grateful and proud not only to call him family, but also a friend. Now I do remember meeting Julia when I was around eleven. Since then Julia has become such a beloved friend and member of our family, and I’m so excited for Freddy and Julia to continue on this wonderful journey together.
Teresa Moody - Junior Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Teresa and I am Julia’s youngest sister. Freddy and Julia started dating when I was only five years old. Since then they have played a significant role in my life; from Freddy teaching me to tie my shoes the right way, to them coaching me into the competitive volleyball player I am today. They are my role models for volleyball and taught me everything I know about the sport. Julia has always been there for me through all the good and tough times. She always listens and supports me through everything, and I’m so happy she found the love of her life. They are an amazing couple and are so lucky to have found the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with. Congrats to Julia and Freddy for starting their lives together.
Chelsie Robinson - Junior Bridesmaid
Hi I'm Chelsie and I am Freddy's cousin! I first met Julia when I was around 6 years old and I will always remember the time we all went roller skating together. Me and Freddy have always been close, we would always play games and laugh together. When Julia became one of my gymnastics coaches our bond really began to grow. I am so happy for them and I'm glad I get to be a part of their big day!
Olive Bijie - Junior Bridesmaid
