Lauren and Sara met on the first day of classes freshman year of college. The two truly became sisters when Lauren pledged Sara’s sorority and have grown closer ever since. Their friendship spans 15 years and Lauren’s adorable 3 children call Sara “Auntie Monaco!”

Michelle and Sara are practically sisters at this point. Meeting on the first day of college orientation, these two were roommates for over 7 years (also with Sara’s brother) and remain super close to this day. Michelle and Sara are both fixtures in the other’s family.

Lianne and Sara are not only sorority sisters but soul sisters. The two were notorious travel buddies from Birthright to Greece and trips to Sara’s parents in Florida. Always in for a good talk sesh, the two have been friends for over 10 years and remain close despite living in different states.

Sara and Christina have been friends since the first day of 7th grade when Christina started at Spackenkill. Part of the “peaz” group, their friendship spans over 20 years. They are each other’s “we” and look forward to checking out new cities around the country on the annual peaz reunion trips.

Courtney is one of Sara’s oldest friends, meeting in 2nd grade. Also part of the peaz group, the two catch up regularly despite living across the country from one another. With a friendship spanning over 25 years, Sara is also a bridesmaid in Courtney’s wedding in September.

Jenny and Sara go back to 2nd grade, as well. Despite living in different states, when they are back together, it is as if no time has passed. Knowing each other for 25 years, Jenny is always the one who can hear comments Sara makes under her breath and they can speak to each other with just a look.

We couldn’t miss including some very special people on our day, Shahin’s niece and nephews!! We love spending time together each week on Shabbat, on holidays and family barbecues!

Arya is the beautiful and sweet daughter of Matron of Honor, Lauren. Sara has been in Arya’s life since birth. Arya loves to have girls days with Mom and Auntie Monaco and loves playing with Uncle Shahin.
