Officiant / Sister of the groom - Pia Singer
Pia has played many sidekick roles with Jona over the years, including Fresh S (his beakdancing little sister) and Muffy (talk show host on childhood home videos.) She currently lives in New York City with her boyfriend, Tom, and sells laundry detergent.

 


Father of the bride - Paul Beckman
Here's Paul at Sammy's Romanian Restaurant NYC celebrating Randi & Jona's engagement with one of their prime half sour pickles

 

 


Mother of the bride - Bonnie Stoddard
As of late, the mother of the bride passes her days tasting wedding cakes and chatting with florists. When not involved with wedding plans, she is usually immersed in oil painting. Along with her husband Paul, Bonnie shares her time between Madison , Ct. and Bradenton, Forida. She is delighted with Randi's choice and can't wait to be part of the event that will start the bride and groom on their wonderful journey.

 

Father of the groom - Irwin Singer
Irwin is a physicist by day and a tango aficionado by night. He keeps fit by swimming and dancing, and his hobby is photography. As you can see from his picture, he is as youthful as he was when he married Jonathan's mom 37 years ago.




Mother of the groom - Joan Singer
Joan Singer has been called many things in her 61 years: cute, absent-minded, talented, disorganized, patient, passionate, musical, a quintessential Gemini, a great cook, a lousy housekeeper, a terrible correspondent, a great storyteller, a sloppy accountant, Queen Tango, and at long last -- the mother of the groom. It's her favorite description to date.

 

Chuppa Holder - Tiffany Forti
Tiff and the bride have been best friends since middle school, growing up in Madison and both going to college in Worcester. She lives in Salem, MA with her boyfriend, Eric and their dog, Diesel. She is in school and, like Randi, will be going into Women's Health. She couldn't be happier for Randi and Jonathan!

 

Chuppa Holder - Catherine Cugell
Catherine's been trying to steal some of Randi's inimitable style ever since Randi had the coolest hat on the 8th grade trip to D.C. Randi took a benevolent view of the offense--imitation, flattery and all that--and they have been best friends ever since. Catherine will graduate NYU Law in May and move to Philadelphia to clerk for a district court judge there...all the while cherishing the hope Randi and Jonathan will be closer to the East Coast sooner rather than later, at least for a while.

Chuppa Holder - Nate Havlick
Nate BabyNate and Jonathan met in social work grad school. Nate's currently helping soldiers recover from the experience of going to war. Nate and his wife have 4 children. "I have found a depth of peace within that transcends this world, yet infuses every moment with its truth, and it's beckoning call. I am lucky, for I am awake, and love is everywhere."

 

Chuppa Holder - Chris Johnson
CJ and Jonathan met in the mid-1980s in junior high school. They quickly found common ground in music, girls and sidewalk football. Their musical collaborations extend from classic basement jams in Alexandria to professional recording studios in Austin, Texas. When not modeling for J Crew or peddling pain relievers, Chris spends his time in Philly with his wife, Laurie and their baby Ella.

 

Usher - Korey Darling
Korey grew up in New Milford, CT and attended Clark University with Randi. She now lives in Austin, TX and is glad to be away from the New England winters. She is currently a student in the MSW Program at the University of Texas School of Social Work.

 


Usher - Nikkishea DaVaughn McCullough
Goes by Nikki. Self proclaimed guardian and personal comic relief for Randi. Met Randi after answering an ad for an all female a cappella group. Born and raised in Austin Texas to Daisy Mae. Works for the The Man as a mailroom budget analyst. Works for The One as the director of her church choir. Most important things in life: family, friends, loving, hugging, kissing, singing and chauffeuring her grandmother. Known for her loud laugh, dimples, and always showing up late... but not for the wedding, of course.


Usher - Matthew Salo
Matt has known Jona longer than anyone except his immediate family. Despite this, they remain good friends. It has been a friendship forged out of the formative experiences of elementary school shenanigans, tae kwon do with Mr. Blackwell, and an enduring love of head-banging and absurdly long hair. As much as he loves the guy, Matt thinks Jona should thank his lucky stars for meeting Randi, because lets face it...she's way cooler than he is.

 

Usher - Gary Taylor
Gary and Jonathan were once part of the legendary high school band "Ded Metle." Gary was known for his blazing, rock-arena style guitar solos, during which time Jonathan and bass player Derek Sikkelee (of Blanket fame) would take meal breaks or do their taxes. When Gary isn't making a fool out of investors, he spends his time at home with his wife Hannah and son Sammy.

 

Greeter - Alison Fortes
Ali is the first person you will see at our wedding. She grew up in Madison, CT and lived right down the street from Randi. Ali served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Cape Verde where she taught English and met her husband Jon. They live in Arlington, Virginia where they enjoy lots of outdoor activities when it's not snowing.

 

Flower girl - Jessica Issenberg, age 8
This will be Jessie's big debut as a Flower Girl. And what an honor it is for her to take that role at the wedding of her very special cousin - Randi. She is glad that Jonathan will be her cousin soon, too, since he already seems like part of the family. Jessie can't wait!

 


Flower girl - Emma Grace Olson, age 4 1/2
I am four and a half years old which means I am almost five. My parents have been friends with Jonathan since college and we have known Randi since I was two days old. Uncle Jona and soon to be Aunt Randi are two of my favorite people particularly because they love to play chase with me. I go to Waldorf kindergarten and I love being the biggest sister in my family. This is my first time being a flower fairy and I am so happy that I get to wear a pink, poofy dress!


Reminder - Sam Issenberg, age 10

Always a great helper, Sam has the very important role of "Reminder" during the wedding reception. Sam is responsible for reminding you, our cherished guests, to take pictures with the disposable cameras you find on your table. Sam will be on top of this major responsibility... until he falls asleep.
