“I met Jenna on October 4, 1989 (I think.) I was being carried into our home, when she greeting me with open arms ( I’m assuming here because I was only a few days old after all.) The videos remind me that I wasn’t much of a talker because Jenna would tell Mama and Papa everything I wanted and needed. She would know when I was hungry and sad and when I needed my “Abat”… (that as what we called my blanket towels). From weaseling my way into her amazing group of friends, which I call my best friends now, to joining Ultimate Frisbee, to being “That Other Girl” that Tony always shows up with, Jenna has always included me. She’s the best and most beautiful person I know. Tony is actually pretty amazing too!! Ahhh MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!! WORDS CANT NOT DESCRIBE HOW EXCITED I AM!”
“Jenna and I met back when we were 4 years old riding our bikes in the court that was outside my house. From that very first day, I could tell Jenna would be my BFF for life...after all she did invite me over for Oreo cookies! We started to have lots of play dates and soon became inseparable ...pretty sure I spent more time at Jenna’s house than I did mine. Growing up together, I have so many fond memories, most should probably be kept to ourselves (Bramble, bush parade, the PJ) but most make me appreciate our friendship and all the fun and crazy things we do. Jenna, Amy and I used to call ourselves the Goldana Girls (Goldblatt/ Diana combined) and I’m so thrilled you can keep up the name as your start your next chapter with Tony....GOLDARONE! You’re my sista from another mista, I love you and I can’t wait to stand by your side when you marry the love of your life! ”
“Jenna and I met our first week of 6th grade way back in 1999. We quickly became best friends and I consider her another sister. Jenna is always up for an adventure and I have been lucky enough to join her on a few, including trips to Montauk, Rhode Island, Las Vegas, and Hawaii. Jenna is one of the kindest, and most talented people I know and I am honored to stand up with her on her wedding day. Tony is perfect for Jenna and I can’t wait for them to continue their adventure together. RAZZLE RED!”
“I was fortunate enough to meet Jenna through my good friend Katie, and now I can’t imagine life without her. In 2011 we began living together in Southie, and whether we were dancing to music in the kitchen, making gourmet meals, or bargaining “I’ll braid your hair if you paint my nails?” there’s never a dull moment in our friendship. When I moved to Connecticut our bond only strengthened between FaceTime chats and frequent visits. Having lived with her when she began her relationship with Tony, I feel so lucky to have seen their love begin and grow. I’m so happy to stand beside Jenna while she marries the love of her life!”
“I met Jenna soon after she started dating Tony. Early on in their relationship it was clear to see they are a perfect match. I quickly and eagerly got excited that she may be my potential future sister in law. Luckily for us, the Q brothers made it official and I’m beyond excited to share a last name with her. Jenna and I quickly became close friends, and have been on countless adventures and trips together. She always brings the fun to the party and is up for playing games which I love. She is such a genuine, kind, thoughtful, funny, beautiful person who I am lucky to have in my life. This is just the beginning of their life together! Yoo-hoo! You’re getting married!”
“I met Tony when I was 30 minutes old and we’ve been best friends ever since. Pretty rad! Twenty Eight years later, I met Jenna, and she was pretty rad too! It became evident very quickly that they would be rad together, and I’m so happy for them. As Tony’s brother, I’m honored to be his Best Man and am excited for all the upcoming Goldblatt/Quartarone wedding festivities!”
“I’ve known Tony for almost 20 years now. Although we knew each other in high school, we didn’t become close until after graduation when Jared finally let us hang out. JK Jared ;) We really became close during our modeling days up in North Conway NH. But seriously best shopping buddy! Tony is one of the most easy-going guys, always happy, funny as hell and all around great friend. When he met Jenna all of that was enhanced even more. Together Jenna and Tony are one of the best couples I know. Made for each other. Love you both.”
“Tony and Vafa met almost half their lifetime ago and immediately bonded over their love of grilled meats served in and/or on buns, the music of (Arabian rap sensations) Group X and Wesley Willis as well as their ability to fall asleep standing up. Vafa has always looked up to Tony. Mostly on account of the height disparity and Vafa’s tendency towards poor posture, but also because he thinks Tony has as strong a sense of integrity and responsibility as anyone he’s ever met. The first time he met Jenna he told his then girlfriend now fiancé, Katie that he was sure Tony had finally met his match. He is grateful that his favorite hot dog has finally found it’s bun.”
“Although Tony and I sat next to each other playing the sax in band for two years, I don’t think we actually spoke until we ended up in the same class in the seventh grade. We went on to spend our teenage angst years together listening to punk and ska music (ska was cool in the 90s). Even though it’s been over twenty years (I’ll have to check the math on that) we can still share the same sense of humor that made us friends back then. Although I’ve only met Jenna once since we live on opposite coasts, I can see that Tony has met his match. I am thrilled for the two of them and can’t wait to watch them start their life together.”
“I met Tony when we started at Ping around the same time. We were both a little bit different in what was a pretty conservative department at the time. We had a great couple of years living together trying to find the little pieces of culture that Phoenix has pretty well hidden at times. Sometimes we were even successful.
I think the first time I met Jenna was during their visit to Arizona for a friends wedding where they stayed with us and a brand new Aurora. I’m tremendously excited for Tony and Jenna - they’re perfect for each other, and I can’t wait to celebrate with them.”
