Our Wedding

<p>Justin and Jennifer first met at Orange Theory in Monroe, New York, where after weeks of crossing paths and quiet glances, Justin finally asked Jennifer out. Their first outing—though Jennifer insists it wasn’t a date—was at Wally’s, where melted ice cream ended up on Jennifer’s shirt and conversation flowed for hours, setting the tone for what was to come. A few months later, the two made it official. As a nurse and a laborer balancing new jobs, demanding schedules, and moving from White Plains to home and eventually to Piermont, their relationship grew stronger with each change. On October 10th, 2025, Justin proposed at Kaaterskill Falls, followed by a weekend-long celebration in Hunter, New York, surrounded by family and loved ones. Now, less than a year later, Justin and Jennifer are thrilled to begin their next chapter together, as they exchange wedding vows on October 3rd, 2026, at the Thayer Hotel in West Point.</p>

Our Story

Photos

Kristen is Jenn's middle sister and the original roommate -- they shared a room growing up and somehow still like each other. She has been a constant source of love and support through every chapter of life. There is no one Jenn trusts more to stand beside her on October 3rd.

Kristen Ashford

Nichole is Jenn's oldest sister, which means she has been both Jenn's biggest critic and her biggest defender since birth -- sometimes in the same breath. But don't let that fool you, nobody protects her people more fiercely. We are so lucky to have her up there on October 3rd.

Nichole Mauriello

Gianna is one of those rare work friendships that turned into the real thing. She has fed us more home-cooked meals than we can count and has been right there beside Jenn on adventures near and far. We are so grateful she is part of this celebration.

Gianna Gervasi

Jenn's childhood best friend. Jenn and Meghan were frenemies in elementary school because they both liked the same boy (ironically, his name was Justin as well). After squashing the beef, the two have been inseparable since. From every major milestone in life together to international trips (nothing beats a girls' trip to Paris!), Jenn and Justin could not pick a more perfect person to officiate them.

Meghan Grimes

Brad is a loyal friend, a devoted Bills fan, and a man who has never met an eBay listing he didn't like. He brings good energy to every room he walks into -- unless the Bills are losing, in which case, give him a minute. We are thrilled to have him celebrating with us.

Dan is the guy in the group who can make anyone laugh without even trying, usually via an Instagram reel sent at an unreasonable hour. He is a Chicago Bears fan, which means he has also mastered the art of staying positive against all odds. He is genuinely one of the good ones and we could not be happier to have him there.

Dan Mauriello

Nick and Justin have been friends since middle school, which means he has seen it all and somehow stuck around anyway. The memories they have made over the years are too many -- and probably too chaotic -- to summarize here. There is no one better suited to standing by Justin's side on October 3rd.
