Meet the Team

The people that birthed us, the ones we grew up with, that we learned how to navigate life with, and the people that have been part of our story these past six years. Plus, the ones that are completely new here (meaning to earth because they’re children). Our wedding is about our love, of course, but it is also about the incredible humans who have made our lives together so far an absolute adventure. Each person as a small anecdote about what makes them special and why they mean so much to us. Please read through and be sure to say hello at the wedding!


  • FATHER OF THE BRIDE

    Growing up, Bashel loved weddings. When she was little she would accost her father in the middle of a twelve person dinner party and say, “Daddy! Marry me!” Alex would interrupt the entire dinner party each time, and put on a mini wedding.


  • MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

    In 2020, Alina decided she wanted to build a pool. But not just any pool. This pool has an entire 10×10 kiddie pool area for her future grandchildren. This was before either of her children were even married. Now, her grandchildren enjoy the pool every summer.


  • MOTHER OF THE GROOM

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.


  • BROTHER OF HONOR

    When Bashel and Adriel were kids, they didn’t have cable.


  • SISTER-IN-LAW

    Abby is literally the big sister Bashel never had. She’s the first person Bashel goes to when she needs an honest opinion on anything; design, career advice, and even the wedding dress. Abby and Mila broke into Bash and Dan’s apartment while they were in Barcelona and decorated it as an engagement surprise.


  • FLOWER GIRL

    Mila, or Mila Bo Bila for long, is Adriel and Abby’s daughter and comedy legend, she lives to entertain. For Halloween in 2025, she wanted to be a Shabbat table (she wore it for one minute after being bribed with a piece of candy).


  • RING BEARER

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.


  • BRIDESMAID

    Shayna is Bashel’s oldest friend. Legend has it, they met at the local park as their soviet babysitters shared a cigarette.

    Bashel and Roshelle met in second grade. Their bus stops were one block from one other

  • BRIDESMAID

    You would never believe it, but despite going to the same school, growing up in the same neighborhood, and being friends with the same people, Bash and Mel didn’t become friends until after high school graduation. Their favorite pastime is putting on a good movie, cracking open a bottle of wine, and talking for the duration of the entire film.


  • BRIDESMAID

    Bashel and Marisa met in their mandatory gym credit at Binghamton University. That’s where they discovered their shared dislike for cycling. Three years later they became roommates and discovered their shared like for going places and doing things with friends. No matter where they find themselves, Bashel and Marisa will be having a great time.


  • BRIDESMAID

    Dasha and Bashel met at Binghamton. They immediately connected over growing up as Soviet Jews and their shared love of impromptu road trips accompanied by a beverage, a perfect playlist, and the same 10 conversations they’ve had a million times. For example: Dasha unfollowed Dan on instagram a month before (we) started dating because she thought she would never see him again.
