Wedding Party

Esther DuBow

Bride

Matt Fruithandler

Groom

Stacey Schlissel

Maid of Honor

We can't quite pinpoint the origin of our relationship - I'm going with groups in shul, shoutout to YIW! It was in middle school that we became besties, and we haven't looked back since. From sleepover parties in Woodmere, to sleepover parties at my various residences in College Park, to our apartment life on the UWS (with many road trips and vacations in between), Stacey has been my rock!

Eric Fruithandler

Best Man

Literally the person Matt has known forever. He's a great twin brother, a great friend, enjoys a good food adventure, and teaming up with his brother to annihilate folks in smash brothers on n64.

Jill Frohmann Landowne

Bridesmaid

Jill is my cousin, who I've known basically as long as I can breathe. Jill and I are two months apart and grew up like sisters. We got our ears pierced together, spent a summer on a bus in Israel, and have been constants in a family with lots of chaos. In fact, her older brothers tortured me to make up for the fact that my siblings were younger - Jilly, you're welcome in retrospect.

Rohan Seth

Groomsman

Rohan and Matt started 2 clubs at our former employer Sisense. Michelin Stars for hitting quarterly targets, and the Monhtly Karaoke club. Rohan is a stalwart, reliable gent, with an eye for tasty food, and amazing enthusiasm!

Lauren Lebowitz

Bridesmaid

Lauren is currently my roommate, but will always be my co-captain of Varsity Volleyball. We look nothing alike, but will always recall the chauvinist/sexist/gross athletic director at HAFTR who couldn't tell us apart. She clearly understands an aspect of my life that most others don't get - the difficulty of finding clothes that fit all of our curves.

Hari Mani

Groomsman

A Friendship forged in the throws of early startup life. We've had adventures to speakeasies, philosophical talks on the steps of the Manhattan post office at 2am, and always available to see where nights at the city will take us!

Kristen Keefe

Bridesmaid

Kristen and I "met" on the phone as we nervously arranged phone calls with our randomly assigned freshmen roommates and tried to decide if our style and color choices for our dorm room would clash. What a crazy thing to worry about! The sheer relief I felt on meeting her in person began what has been an epic friendship.

Aaron Friedman

Groomsman

A Friendship that started at Camp Edward Isaacs, that evolved into innumerable amounts of concerts, all the food adventures, Seeing LFC play any time their local, and a quasi successful attempt at playing in a dart league together (successful a for Aaron, less successful for me).

Steph Patton

Bridesmaid

Steph is the other D'mas girl who graciously accepted me into the fold. We joined Delta Gamma together and studied abroad in Sydney - where we learned that things are more economical when they cost less, you should always have posters of David Hasselhoff, the proper way to eat vegemite, how to drive on the opposite side of the road, weird Irish slang, and that things aren't necessarily wrong; they're just different.

Isaac Friedman

Groomsman

A Bond formed in jewish Summer camp, performing What I like about you on the talent show stage. Matt's enjoyed seeing all your bands live, going on all the food adventures, and the endless discussion on Sanderson books.

Kalie Kelman

Bridesmaid

Kalie is credited as my first true food and wine adventure buddy! And by this, I mean good food and good wine. We spent two years studying together in Israel at Pardes, one of those years sharing an apartment, a love of coffee, and an affinity for travel and cuisine. Kalie can always be counted on to liven up a room, know the status of any number of sporting events, and in general get stuff done. She also has an excellent radio voice and can play the role of tour guide at the drop of a hat.

Jereme Safier

Groomsman

The Distinction of being Matt's Oldest friend. Started at B'nai Brith when we were wee lads. Matt and Jereme's friendship was re-kindled in adulthood by an adventure to the New York Beer Festival. This has led to heading to Portland, to Denver, and visiting all the breweries in the Greater NYC area.

Rachel Landesman

Bridesmaid

My younger cousin Rachel was the life-sized doll I had always wanted and has done her job well; bringing laughter, happiness and female companionship into the various family gatherings and cousins weekends that we've had throughout the years. Rachel and I call ourselves the bookends and I almost got two high school graduation trips with the g'rents out of the deal! Sadly, COVID meant no cruise to Russia last summer...maybe at some point during your upcoming Barnard years we can get it done!

Liba Fruithandler

Junior Bridesmaid

Liba is a girl after my own heart - she's smart and funny and knows all about dealing with a younger brother. Liba was an excellent critic in my first foray into wedding dress shopping and came prepared with a scoreboard she crafted to keep track of our options!
