Jackelyn Goodman (soon to be Silverman)
​Sheryl *Golden* Weinstock is my oldest sister. She married Jeff and not only gave me my first brother but gave me my first nephew! They have ​an amazingly adorable son, Evan, who will be 15 months when we tie the knot. Sheryl and I have a special relationship. She is 8 years older than me and I know whenever I need advice or just someone to laugh with, I can always count on her. She leaves famous birthday messages and loves to break out in song at any given moment. Jeff says we are like two peas in a pod. I cannot imagine my wedding without her by my side.
I LOVED Jackelyn the minute I met her. We were conveniently placed in the same group for rush at UT. I am so glad to know her. She makes me smile and laugh, she gets me through tough times and is always there for me. Working with a great friend is something not many people can say... I am so lucky to have such a great girl in my life and am looking forward to the many years of friendship we have ahead of us! Jackelyn got engaged just 2 weeks after me and will be married in November!! It is rumored that if you teach kindergarten where we teach, you will get engaged.......

Not only am I blessed with one sister, I have two!!! How lucky am I? Elaine *Golden* Webster is my older sister. She lives in Colorado *tear* and is married to Russ. She and Russ just had a baby girl this April!!! Emma will be 9 months when I walk down the aisle! With Elaine living in Denver, phone dates are what keep us close. She is always willing to give advice, and although I am not always willing to receive it, she always has my best interest at heart and helps me get through anything. She is a great sister and could not get through planning my wedding and walking down the aisle without her!
Jackie Fleishman is my partner in crime... always has been, always will be. Being just six months apart in age, we were destined to have a close relationship. She is my cousin, [was] my family trip roommate for 22 years, my confidant, and my best friend. We have only lived in the same city for a small part of our lives but we have remained so close throughout the years. She recently moved from NYC to San Francisco and I could not be happier for her!! I love her so much and am thrilled that she is my maid of honor.
Dana, Dana, Dana... where do I even start. I guess I can go back to Pre-K where I first met Dana. I think she complimented my shoes and knew it was meant to be. Growing up with Dana made my life so much fun, always an adventure and never a dull moment. From Neopolitan ice cream and frozen margarita mix to marathons of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movies, I could never have enough time with Dana. I guess all that time we spent together made us start to look alike! I am so excited for her to be part of my wedding and am so lucky to have had such a great friend for so long.
Melanie is Alex's sister, which would make her my sister-in-law, but she is so much more than that. She is the amazing mother to 3 beautiful girls, Samantha, Mollie, and Chloe, who are our flower girls and to a sweet boy, Jack, who is our ring bearer! Without her, we would not have adorable kids walking down the aisle with us! Going to Dallas to visit for everyone's birthdays and getting to spend time with her when she visits Houston has brought us closer together. I am so glad I have such an amazing woman in my life.
Madison Slovacek
Madison and I go way back. We went to elementary school together and lived just a few blocks from each other for nearly 15 years. We played on so many of the same sports teams from t-ball when we were 5 to lacrosse when we were in high school. After years of going to the same school, we both ended up at UT! Now that we are both back in Houston, we try to stay close by going to happy hours and enjoying the night life that Houston has to offer. As one of my dearest friends, I am thrilled that she will be part of my wedding. Having childhood friends there to support me makes me rest easy.
Liba will be my sister-in-law. She recently married Alex's oldest brother, Todd. She and Todd are always a great pair to go on a double date with and we can expect to try a new restaurant and pair our dinner with a great wine. Liba is a great friend and will make a great sister. I know future holidays and trips will be full of fun and adventure with this one :).

Tatum is married to Alex's older brother, Jeremy. She and Jeremy live in Chicago and have an adorable daughter, Menucha. After meeting Tatum a few years ago, I knew she would make an amazing sister in law. She is a wonderful listener and a great person to talk to. She has taught me so much in the last few years and I look forward to spending more time with her in the years to come.
