Chloe and Melissa met in law school at Columbia and became best friends when they both moved back to their hometown of LA after graduation. The two have been together through thick and thin, and Melissa cannot imagine a better person to stand by her side on her wedding day.

Josh's son Jacob is the apple of his father's eye and a treasured addition to Melissa's life. He is loving, sweet, curious, creative and funny. He loves villains (Disney, Marvel, you name it), music and singing, Legos, drawing, swimming and making new friends. He can hold his own in a group of adults but is very excited for a baby brother (but will try to get excited about a baby sister too). Josh and Melissa love him very much and look forward to building their family together.

Sarah and Melissa met freshman year at Princeton through mock trial. Sarah is a super mom, super lawyer and super friend. Almost 20 years later, their friendship is stronger than ever and the highlight of Melissa's year is traveling to visit Sarah and her beautiful family in Alaska in December and attending the indescribable Talkeetna Bachelor Auction.

Emily and Melissa are both native Angelenos and became close friends at Princeton. Since graduation, they have continued their friendship from New York to Charlottesville to LA. Emily's brilliance, loyalty and contagious laugh are some of Melissa's favorite things about her.

Liz is a ray of sunshine. Liz and Melissa met at the Princeton send-off reception in Hancock Park in summer 2005, and quickly bonded because they were wearing the same very on-trend peasant skirt, albeit in different colors. Princeton randomly assigned them to dorm rooms directly across the hall from each other. Liz's optimism, grace, generosity and compassion are unmatched. She is also an incredibly accomplished fertility specialist. Melissa is thrilled and honored to be a bridesmaid in Liz's wedding on September 21, 2024.

Liz (aka El Lizzo) came into Melissa's life in July 2021 when she came aboard the Mystery of the Seas for Melissa's maritime murder mystery birthday party with Pete Quinzio. After an eventful evening, there was no doubt in Melissa's mind that Liz would be a friend forever. The two went on a very special girls' getaway to England in 2023 (hence the Stonehenge photo) and Melissa was honored to be a bridesmaid in Liz and Pete's wedding last October. She is excited to share this special day with one of the most interesting, creative, thoughtful and intellectually curious people she has ever met.

Maid of honor Chloe brought Judy and Melissa together. Over the past years, Melissa's life (and the city of Los Angeles as a whole) has been enriched by Judy's presence. She is thoughtful, adventurous and loving, and an incredible hostess. From martini-filled dinners at Vito's to beach days in El Segundo, the two have made countless wonderful memories together, and Melissa is lucky to have Judy in her bridal party!

Josh's sister and Melissa's soon to be sister-in-law, Jenna is an absolute powerhouse with a massive career at PwC and absolutely impeccable style (her jewelry and accessories are to die for always). Jenna and her wonderful husband (Darren) and kiddos (Carter and Chloe) have welcomed Melissa to the family with warmth and love. Melissa is so excited to call Jenna her sister!

Josh's youngest sister Jamie is a super mom and accomplished producer. She and her daughter (Laine) have welcomed Melissa into their family with warmth and love. Melissa eagerly participates in Jamie's teasing about Josh being from a different generation and not getting their cultural references. Melissa is blessed to have Jamie in her life and cannot wait to call her sister!

Jose and Melissa became close friends over the past 10+ years, including on many trips to Dallas, LA and around the country to go to concerts together. Their last concert was Parker McCollum in Cincinnati, Ohio in February '23. If you haven't listened, you must. Melissa credits Jose with keeping her current on all things pop culture, introducing her to some of her favorite musical artists, helping her grow a thicker skin, making her obsessed with the great state of Texas and making her laugh constantly. He is truly a ride or die friend. Melissa cannot wait to celebrate her wedding day with Jose!

Ralph and Melissa met at Princeton's freshman orientation program, Community Action, prior to their freshman year. Apparently Melissa managed to offend Ralph when they met. Luckily, she was able to convince him she wasn't a miserable wench and they have become inseparable confidantes and friends over the past 10+ years. Ralph is everything: caring, sensitive, stylish (beyond belief), hilarious and ambitious. Ralph has also singlehandedly enabled Melissa's purse addiction (it's bad). He has supported Melissa through good times and bad, and she is thrilled to have him in the wedding party to celebrate this incredible milestone with her.

Tim and Melissa met at Princeton and have become close friends over the past 10+ years. Tim is a socialite, entrepreneur and force to be reckoned with. He is the only person who could have convinced Melissa to try her first Barry's Bootcamp class among the beautiful citizens of West Hollywood. Tim's humor and confidence inspire Melissa, and she admires his big bird beauty too. She is thrilled to have him in the wedding party.

Josh's brother-in-law Darren is the life of the party and a wonderful father. He and Jenna have welcomed Melissa and her parents into the family with warmth and kindness. Melissa has enjoyed bonding with him over his New Jersey roots! Melissa and Josh are grateful to have him in the wedding party.

Melissa and Andrew met during their 1L year of law school at Columbia and became best friends. Melissa absolutely would not have made it through those three years of misery without Andrew's support, impeccable sense of humor and pragmatism. Andrew is a successful attorney and a wonderful father to Carmella. Now that Aaron Rodgers is their quarterback, Melissa can join Andrew in lamenting Jets losses. She is thrilled that Andrew will be a part of her special day.

Josh's niece Laine loves Paw Patrol, karaoke, swimming and her cousins. The first time she met Melissa she asked: "Who are you?" They became fast friends!

Josh's niece Chloe loves fashion, sticker books and Disney princesses. She also loves singing (and her Taylor Swift catalogue is extensive)!

Josh's nephew Carter loves Legos, baseball and the NYT Spelling Bee. He will be an excellent ring bearer!
