Maid of Honor
Meet Caitie! Not only is Caitie the sister of the bride but she’s also the Maid of Honor. Caitie and Courtney have always been built-in best friends, and she became close friends with Jeff when he began visiting Courtney in Rochester. She is more than excited to gain a brother and share a few embarrassing stories of the bride during her MOH toast.
Best Man
Jack grew up down the street from Jeff in Eastchester, NY. They became best friends by bonding over countless episodes of Batman and soul-crushing Mets games. After college, when Jeff and Courtney moved to Queens, Jack longed for his neighborhood amigo, so he joined them in Astoria. He got to know Courtney over afternoon drinks at the local biergarten and adventures in U-HAUL trucks. Jack is thrilled to watch Jeff and Courtney take the next step in their life together.
Bridesmaid
Abby is Jeff’s sister and happy to be a bridesmaid. She is the loving aunt of Wally, Jeff and Courtney’s amazing rescue dog. Abby and her parents fostered Wally when he first arrived from Tennessee. She’s thrilled Wally is part of the family so she can spoil him with lots of toys. Courtney is like the sister Abby never had. She loves hanging out with Jeff, Courtney, and Wally in Jersey City, and having family margarita night with them in Eastchester (with Wally too of course)!
Groomsman
Peter and Jeff became friends in elementary school. Peter met Courtney after Jeff started his frequent road trips to Geneseo. Now Courtney responds to Peter’s texts way faster than Jeff does.

Lindsey is a Geneseo alum from Buffalo, NY. She and Courtney met during their freshman year when they lived down the hall from each other and have been inseparable ever since.

Lindsey is so happy for Courtney and Jeff, and can’t wait to celebrate their special day!

Nick is from Eastchester and has known Jeff for as long as he can remember, growing up just a few streets away from each other and riding the same bus to kindergarten. Despite a brief spat over the theft of a cake from his childhood home by Jeff and his best man Jack, they've been friends ever since. As adults, Nick has been following Jeff around NYC for several years, now living in his old neighborhood and working at his old company. Until he finally catches up, he'll have to settle for happy hours and weekend hangouts, which Jeff will finally be on time for, thanks to Courtney.

Her favorite memories with Courtney are seeing Zedd in Chicago and going to Electric Zoo Festival with both her and Jeff in NYC. Caitlin can’t wait to talk Courtney into more shows and a Colorado visit in the near future!
Groomsman
CJ is from Eastchester, NY. He and Jeff first acquainted as kids in Cub Scouts Den 5 — the only group of misfits in the Pack that placed having fun and eating snacks above wilderness survival. Fun memories of Jeff include him falling into a campfire, always falling asleep in class, and being voted “Most Likely to Forget to go to College” for yearbook superlatives. Despite these goofs, he’s always been the one in the group down to hang, down to talk, and secretly the most sentimental. CJ wishes Jeff and Courtney all the best in their next chapter, and is grateful that his friend found the perfect person to keep him from falling into campfires.
Bridesmaid

Thanks to Courtney, Mary Kate's tried many things she otherwise wouldn't have - like sky diving - and is so happy that Courtney and Jeff get to experience many more adventures together.

Sarah is a Geneseo alum from Westchester. She met Courtney during their sophomore year of college when they decided to join the ultimate frisbee team.

Groomsman
Erik met Jeff freshman year in college when they lived in the same freshman dorm hallway. They became fast friends and lived in the same suite/ townhome for the next 3 years. Erik and Jeff could be found eating most meals together at school and enjoyed countless hours together slaying zombies on the couch and frequenting the town watering holes. Erik takes some credit for Jeff finding Courtney since they met one weekend when Erik convinced Jeff to go back up to visit school after they graduated. What was just another Mias night for the guys ended up flowering into the bloom that has us here today.
Bridesmaid
Nichole is a Geneseo alum from the Utica area. She lived on the same floor as Courtney freshman year, where they first became friends. They got to know each other even better after living together sophomore year and playing ultimate frisbee together for 2 years. Nichole and Courtney both moved to NYC after undergrad for grad school, where they were able to explore the city together with Jeff and sample the many margs that NYC has to offer!

Gavin met Jeff during his freshman year at Geneseo. The next three years as Jeff's friend and roommate were full of spontaneous hikes, trips to Applebee's and Mia's, and plenty of video games. Jeff and Gavin had many great laughs and memories together. Gavin sends all the best to Courtney and Jeff as they begin this new chapter together.
