After Party

Summer

We met online in the summer of 2020. Sarah was in New Hampshire living out her dream internship on a whale watch, and Justin just happened to be visiting a friend nearby. After a few months of talking (and Justin convincing Sarah he wasn’t a serial killer), we had our first date that September—with Sarah’s roommates not-so-subtly spying from a nearby table. After just three dates, we both knew this was something special, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. From socially distanced dates in the IKEA parking lot (our halfway point between Glastonbury and Shelton), to beach days, many margaritas, and countless whale watches, the past five years have been full of laughter, adventure, and love. We can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you!

Our Story

Hi, I’m Rachel — co-Maid of Honor, lifelong little sister, and unpaid emotional support human to the bride. We met when she was very rudely promoted to “big sister” without asking me first. Since then, we’ve survived matching outfits, sibling brawls, and her slightly bossy nature (kidding… mostly). I’m so excited to help celebrate her big day — and to finally see her cry happy tears that I didn’t cause.

Hi, I’m Lex, Sarah’s friend since forever! I was lucky enough to grow up with Sarah and be by her side through every stage of life, even the awkward ones. I have so many great (and embarrassing) memories with her and I can’t wait to continue making more. In more recent years, it’s been a privilege to watch her and Justin grow together and start this next chapter of life. They are truly made for each other and I can’t wait to watch this beautiful marriage blossom! <3

Hi, I'm Erin, Sarah's youngest sister. My favorite memory is Sarah locking me in her room, shutting the lights off and playing Freddy Krueger songs.

I’m Nicole, Sarah’s cousin. Growing up, I was completely obsessed with everything Sarah did. She was my role model then, and she still is now. From spending endless time together at Grandma’s house to sharing life’s big and small moments, she's always felt more like a sister than a cousin to me. Being part of this special day means so much to me. I’m so proud of the woman she has grown to be and I am so beyond happy she’s found someone who loves and supports her in the way she deserves. I can’t wait to celebrate them and officially welcome Justin into the family!

Hello friends and family!!! My name is Alexa Jacobson, not to be confused with our dear friend, Alexa White, who is a maid of honor here. You may know her as Sarah’s lifelong bestie. I had the pleasure of meeting both Sarah and Alexa on move-in day freshman year of college. I will be forever thankful they let me tag along and become their friend. 

At college, Sarah and I bonded over our love/hate relationship with our studies in Biology. And thank god for Sarah, she absolutely carried our Developmental Biology lab partnership. All the way from spending our Sundays in the library, to now spending Sundays on your couch watching football, I wouldn’t change our friendship for a thing. Congratulations to my friends Sarah and Justin and GO BIRDS!

Hi everyone! I’m Lexi — I almost had the honor of being Sarah’s first college roommate our freshman year. Although it didn’t quite work out back then, things have a funny way of bringing the right people together at the right time. We became close friends and, eventually, roommates after all.   The roommates and I were able to be apart of the beginning of Sarah and Justin when we were secretly watching, just making sure he passed the test (he very much did).   Now, years later, it's been such a joy to witness Sarah and Justin’s relationship grow into something truly beautiful.

My friendship with Sarah is so unique to any other. Although we've only been friends since senior year, I truly feel as if she’s been in my life forever because I can’t imagine it without her. I have never felt a sisterly bond form so fast the way our friendship did. From reciting entire H2O episodes on the couch, to sipping margs in Cancun with you and Justin. The girls couldn’t have asked for a better man to be by your side. We’re lucky to call him one of us

I’m Arianna, one of Sarah’s bridesmaids. We met in college, at Eastern and were lucky to be roommates our senior year. She was the perfect addition to our group. Even though it was Covid times we still made the most of it. From movie nights to taking her to her first eastern party to spying on her first date with her soon to be husband. I am so grateful for her friendship and can’t wait to make more unforgettable memories with her at her upcoming wedding!
