MO & ADAM
The Wedding Party
Sophie Pepe
Maid of Honor
Go Falcons! …St Joe's Falcons that is. The beginning of their 13 year friendship was thanks to St. Joes Metuchen! Both of their brothers played football for St. Joe's where they met cheering them on from the sidelines. Never missing a game, they slowly got to know each other and realized they shared a love for sports and fitness. The weekly football games evolved into personal training together, countless Giants & Yankees games, and spending so much time at each other's family homes, that their parents were shocked when they weren't together. Throughout all these years & everything life has thrown at them, they have always been best friends & served as each other’s rock. Never too high, never too low - they balance each other out, together through it all. Mo couldn’t imagine life without her “partner in crime” and is so excited to say “I do” with Sophie by her side.
Michael Fromm
Best Man
What better person to have as the best man at your wedding than your own brother? Mike has always been the most dependable big brother to Adam. Whether it be helping him with his business website or résumé or just good advice. Mike and Adam are total opposite in many ways but when it comes to the love they have for each other they couldn’t be more the same. Mike will always be Adams first and favorite roommate. Considering Mike is a writer, there is a lot of pressure riding on this best man speech!
Lacey Chavez
Matron of Honor
Sorority sisters, Big and Little - since the very first day they met at Rutgers it was meant to be. Best friends for over 13 years, they've been there for each other through many of life's milestones. From RU to NYU adventures, Pier 13 nights and Jersey shore weekends, trips to Mexico and more, these two share memories for a lifetime. Fun fact: Mo introduced Lacey to her husband at DJais back in 2016! No matter the distance, Hawaii or Virginia or anything in between, Lacey has always been a solid pillar in Mo's life. She is without a doubt the life of the party - you won’t be able to miss her stomping on the dance floor! SFAS
Matthew Olivo
Groomsman
Four and a half years ago, Mo introduced Adam to her little brother Matt. Since that day it’s debatable who Adam is really in a relationship with. They have done so much together! Whether it’s tailgating Jets games, going to the gun range, shopping, matching Halloween costumes, going out to eat, movies, nights out and so much more, you can always be sure wherever one of them are, the other is nearby. Adam and Matt are the soon to be Brothers-in-Law.
Jessica Fromm
Bridesmaid
They first met 4.5 years ago when Adam brought Mo home to meet his family. Jess was very shy in the beginning, but over time they both got to know one another and realized they had a lot in common. Living together over the past year has really brought them closer, slowly but surely becoming the sisters they never had! They love making their Starbies runs together, but also exploring new coffee shops around NJ trying to find who has the best tasting latte! Jess always knows Mo's exact coffee order down to a tee. They love trying new makeup products, watching hair tutorials, and funny Tik Toks that only they understand. You can't forget the daily celebrity gossip exchange, watching reruns of Friends midday, going to see Paramore at MSG on a random Tuesday night or Brooklyn Mirage on a Sunday! Mo is beyond grateful to have such a funny, caring, and amazing new best friend but most importantly - sister for life.
Matthew Rosenberg
Groomsman
Matt and Adam have known each other for more then 18 years. Meeting through mutual friends, it was very clear early on that they were meant to be best friends. Spending over half their lives developing a friendship that turned into brothers for life. Adam and Matt have been through it all. Spending every birthday together, trips to Florida and Atlantic City, roommates in Hoboken, nights by the fire-pit, daily FaceTimes, clear memories and even some blurry ones. Whenever they are together you can be sure it will be endless laughs and fun. The love here is real.
Kayla Tlatelpa
Bridesmaid
Friends since their Rutgers days, besties since Nashville! Kayla and Mo have known each other for well over 10 years, but at Lacey’s Nash Bach in 2021 they grew extremely close again. From that point on they have had unforgettable times together with not just their friends but families too. Kayla has been an immense support for Mo, supporting each other during some tough times yet always dancing through the rain and living life to the fullest. Their mutual love for their Latin roots, tight knit family culture, and eclectic taste in music is a special bond they share. Their always down for anything mindset has led them to a spontaneous sold out Bad Bunny concert, an epic Taylor Swift show, many sunrise outings in the city, and of course the magical Coachella trip they winged! Mo couldn’t be happier to have someone as loyal as Kayla by her side on her big day.
Joseph Kern
Groomsman
Joe and Adam first met 12 years ago at Rowan University. Fast forward to now, this friendship has given a new meaning to the word “Bro.” Joe and Adam are a dynamic duo that can always be found together in any group setting. It only seemed right that they moved in together to a Hoboken apartment. Secret hand shakes and inside jokes, movie nights, mall trips, dinner dates, or just broing out, these two always seem to have fun no matter where they are. This bromance has also taken them on countless trips near and far. Adam can always count on Joe for laughs and effortless good times. Fun fact: Joe was there the first night Adam met Mo and even helped him send the perfect text messages to win her over!
Mirella Ratto
Bridesmaid
The friendship neither saw coming, but are so grateful it did! It all started 5 summers ago when they were paired up to be roommates at their Belmar shore house. Let’s just say - they met through a mutual friend and by the end of the summer, Mirella and Mo loved spending time together! Whether it was nights out in Belmar, party buses to AC, or dinners up north in Hoboken they always had a great time. Their friendship is one of a kind, always honest and there for each other, whether it was about work, friends or relationships they knew they had each other's back. Mirella has one of the biggest hearts you’ll ever get to know and Mo is so honored to have her be a part of her big day. 321 will always hold a special place in their hearts.
Neil Grasso
Groomsman
A true lifelong friendship. Adam and Neil have been best friends since the day they met. This duo were connected at the hip since the 9th grade. From mall trips to road trips to weekends in LBI to family cruises to being Neil’s best man at his wedding, these two have more memories together then most people have in a lifetime. Even though they don’t see each other as much as they both would like, this friendship is always able pick back up right where it left off. Neil has always been Adam’s closest friend. Forever they will be Neily-Nissan and Adam-Benz, FrommiNoodles. Find Neil in the middle of the dance circle, frolicking like he never left teen night at The Ketch!
Vanessa Chavez
Bridesmaid
A friendship like this is once in a lifetime. They met in the 305 back in 2015, almost 8 years ago. Both of them were on trips with their own friends, and one night at LIV Mo helped Vanessa fix her eyelash and the rest is history! They ended up spending the rest of their Miami trip having a blast together with their friends. At the time Vanessa was living in Chicago and Mo in Jersey City, but they still visited each other often - Vanessa more since she is a flight attendant! Together they explored Jersey, Chicago and even crossed off some bucket list items and traveled to Oktoberfest in Germany and celebrated Mo's 30th in Cancun. Vanessa is the definition of a true friend and showed Mo that life is too short for “frenemies”. No matter the distance, they always remain close and are there for each other picking up right where they left off.
Vince Avallone
Groomsman
Vince and Adam first met in 2009 at Rowan University. One night out (after a few drinks) they talked about how cool it would be to move in together. 24 hours later Vince was outside with his mattress and all his belongings and they never looked back since. Roommates and best friends from that point on. Road trips, plane rides, and cruise ships, these two are well traveled together. Many times acting as each others therapists, Adam has always been able to depend heavily on Vince. Blood couldn’t make them any closer. Ninjas for life!
Alexa Chavez
Bridesmaid
Hmm where do we start? It may have been getting lost on scooters down the streets of Nashville? Or maybe the disintegrated cowgirl boot after Jason Aldeans? Or possibly the fact that Alexa ordered about 100 nuggets from Mickey Ds for 3 girls? Either way, we can thank Lacey's Nash Bach for bringing them together. They spent the whole weekend laughing and realizing they lived about 3 minutes from each other. Alexa is the definition of a girl’s girl, someone you can trust and go to for advice on life, outfits, or if you need to know what prescription you need (since she’s a pharmacist). Alexa is the most genuine friend who is always happy for you and would never steer you wrong. Although they’ve known each other for a shorter period of time it’s like they’ve known each other for years! Mo couldn't be more excited to have Alexa there with her on her big day!
Jon Vogel
Groomsman
JJ and Adam met freshman year of college (which feels like a lifetime ago) at Rowan University. They are fraternity brothers but it seems more like real life brothers. JJ is Adam’s go-to person for advice in all facets of life. If it’s about business, relationships, recommendations, or just life in general, Adam can always count on JJ. A memory list longer then the parlays they build every Sunday, JJ and Adam have been through it all. Traveling to Miami, Scottsdale, Nashville, AC, Las Vegas, Ocean City, Costa Rica & always hosting Friendsgiving but never forgetting about Adams birthday. JJ is quite possibly the most generous and thoughtful person you will meet. You won’t be able to miss his presence on Adam’s special day. NRFI for life!
Christopher Vega
Groomsman
Chris and Adam have a special type of friendship. While knowing each other for over 15 years, their friendship truly blossomed in Miami 5 years back. It was from that point on, they realized how much they have in common. Chris has since been one of Adam’s closest and most supportive friends. Chris has a zest for life and is a genuine hype man that brings an energy that is sure to light up any room. Supporting each other through life’s ups and downs, this friendship is one that Adam can always rely on. From matching tattoos to trips to New Orleans, Florida and California, you can be sure Adam and Chris are buddying up. They always say “Buddy system for life” but what it really means is “Family for life.” Chris brings out the best in Adam and that’s exactly what he intends to do on his big day!
