Rachel & David
Wedding Party
Jenna Kagan
Maid of Honor
Jenna's been Rachel's built-in bestie since 1999! If you know Rachel, you know Jenna. They have been attached at the hip since they figured out how to team up against their older brother, Josh. From sleepovers in their twin beds in their shared childhood bedroom to sleepovers in Miami, Jenna knows Rachel better than just about anyone. Fun Fact: Jenna was 11 when Rachel and David started dating, so David has known Jenna for more than half her life!
Nicole Damberg
Bridesmaid
Despite going to the same high school, Rachel and Nicole became friends in college. They met when Nicole started dating Bailey (the Best Man) while at UF (ew) during freshman year. They bonded over their shared love of Taylor Swift and the rest is history! Fun fact: Nicole and Bailey got married in St. Augustine two years ago, and Rachel and David were both in the wedding party!
Alexa Rosenson
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Alexa first met when they interned together at their law firm while still in law school. While they didn't become friends right away, after graduation they bonded over the traumatic experience that is studying for the Florida Bar Exam - the rest is history! They now live a 2-minute walk from each other and are together more often than not (making David the third wheel!).
Samantha Jones
Bridesmaid
Sam and Rachel have been best friends since freshman year of undergrad, where they were in the same sorority. They actually shared bunk beds for a year when they lived in the sorority house, and despite all odds, didn't wind up hating each other from that experience. Sam lives in Pennsylvania so they are long-distance besties, but spend basically every day snapchatting (mostly just Sam sending pictures of her adorable puppy Bruster)!
Kelsey Kagan
Bridesmaid
Kelsey is Rachel's cousin and they have known each other since 1998, before Jenna was in the picture! Growing up, the three girls used to torment their dads and Kelsey's three older brothers (they continue to do so in present day). While some would say Jenna and Kelsey acted like sisters when they were younger, Rachel and Kelsey now pass time at family functions by teaming up against Jenna. Oh, how the tables have turned!
Josh Kagan
Usher
Josh is Rachel's older brother and is so excited to finally have a brother in the family (note from David: can you imagine growing up with Jenna and Rachel as your sister?!). Josh has been around since the beginning of David and Rachel's relationship, and used to pick up David and Rachel from high school. Josh and David now bond over their shared love of bourbon!
Bailey Damberg
Best Man
Bailey is David's best man and best friend of over 15 years! David was Bailey's best man at his and Nicole's wedding in St. Augustine, FL in 2021. Bailey, Jacob, and David have been friends since Middle School and have enjoyed many trips, Gators game days, and their fair share of beers together.
Daniel Allen
Groomsman, Brother
Danny and David have been hanging out since 1998! The best thing about having a younger brother for David was that he would always win against Danny at everything they did. Some of David's best childhood memories are Bailey, Jacob, and David whooping up on and dunking on Danny and his friends on the basketball court.
Hunter Bedard
Groomsman
Hunter was one of David's first law school friends at UF Law! David and Hunter were in the same classes their first year and the rest was history! When they all lived in Gainesville, David and Rachel would go on double dates with Hunter and his now-wife Kinley. David was a groomsman at Hunter's wedding and looks forward to being a "funcle" to Hunter and Kinley's new baby girl.
Peter Staviski
Groomsman
Pete and David didn't meet each other until their second year of law school when Pete made the smart decision to transfer to UF Law. Pete and David have said many times that if the two of them knew each other in undergrad, it would've been dangerous! Fun fact: Pete and David spent many long nights planning the law school prom in 2023.
Jacob Thorne
Groomsman
Jacob and David have been friends for over 15 years! Growing up together with Bailey, the three have spent many hours boating and fishing around South Florida, drinking beers and Swamp Juice at the old Swamp, and dunking on Danny and his friends! Fun fact: Jacob used to be a drummer in a band and Bailey and David were his groupies!
