Jackie's "big sis!" I've looked up to her my whole life! She is an amazing cook & baker and she can whip up (crochet!) a blanket for you in record time! She started at the bottom and climbed her way up the corporate ladder in her banking career! She puts others needs before her own, volunteers and helps with everything at the drop of a hat and she's my go-to person for any important, financial or legal matters! She's also a fighter.. in more ways than 1, hehe π€ͺ I admire that and I'm glad we're on the same team! She's been waiting 11 years to be my Matron of Honor and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you! Love ya, Val! π
(We are standing next to the firetruck bell that has our grandfather's name engraved on it in Wayne, NJ! π Although, we never got to meet him, his memory was kept alive so I feel like I did know him. I'll be forever grateful for that! β€οΈ)
Leah is our beautiful niece! (Jimmy's daughter!) She loves to sing, dance & do gymnastics! She is my yoga buddy! π§ββοΈ She's also a huge animal lover, she loves ALL kinds of music, she's very creative and best of all, she's super sweet! π₯° Congratulations to her as she is going into MIDDLE SCHOOL next year! π€― We are proud of the young lady she is becoming! π Can't wait to dance with her at my wedding! π π We love you, Lee-Lee!
Greg - Best Man
Keith's very talented big brother! (He carved that tiki head among several other awesome gifts throughout the years!) Grandma Rose always called him the "farmer" because he has a beautiful home with a huge property with lots of chickens, goats and horses! π He and Keith played with fire and many other stupid things as kids LOL (Boys will be boys!) Greg cut up Keith's food in the hospital and dropped everything to help their Dad build a wheelchair ramp for him .. Greg is there when you need him and he always puts his family first! Thank you! Love ya, bro! π»
Jim - Groomsman
Jackie's "big" bro! He wears many different hats and has many different skills! He's a successful business owner (Handyman Services!) and he's an AMAZING Dad! I'm super proud and lucky to have him as my brother! We're also all so happy for him and his girlfriend, Jenny! He deserves only the best! π Love ya, bro! π»
Tom - Groomsman
Jackie's brother-in-law! (Val's husband) He and Keith have shared many birthday celebrations together as they are only 6 days apart! I was lucky enough to live with Val & Tom for 7 years. We said it was like "Three's Company!" There's never a dull moment when he's around and we always have a ton of laughs! Tom is always ready to tell you his best "Dad joke" or tell you your shoelace is untied when you're wearing flip-flops! π€ͺ LOL He's a "brother from another mother" and he definitely had to be a part of our wedding party! Love ya, Tom! π»
