Claire met Renata when they were two years old, and has been lovingly bossing her around ever since! She is the life of any party, a strong and accurate first or second opinion, and a fiercely loyal friend. You will know her by her quick humor, contagious giggle, and her killer side-eye.
Alex met Jared at freshman orientation the summer before they started college. Their shared interests in sports, food, and music led them to numerous exciting sporting events and more concerts than you can count. When these two are together, the vibes are guaranteed to be just right... just don’t ask which Manchester team is better!
Olivia met Renata at age three, brought together by the art of dressing up and the flair for the dramatic. While you can never be quite sure where she is in the world, Olivia is rooted by her old soul and wise heart. Spend some time with her, and she will tell you things you never knew about yourself.
Greg first met Jared in middle school, later attending both high school and college together. Another friend who knew both Renata and Jared independently before they got together, he has remained a close and trusted friend to them both. You will know him by his kind heart and beaming smile!
Franny met Renata at the start of high school, and later honored her as a bridesmaid in her own wedding. As teens, when they weren't eating food and hanging out at the Vocis, they were always up to some undisclosed shenanigans somewhere in the neighborhood. Some things change... and others never do.
Chris met Jared in Chicago through the Voci family. They stand shoulder to shoulder on the bocce court as teammates, on the sidelines of Red Stars games as fans, and in the Voci kitchen as brothers. He is someone you always want on your team in sports, in an argument, and in life.
Francesca is Renata's favorite (and only) older sibling. They first met when Renata was born to be her best friend, a self fulfilling prophecy that is true to this day. Francesca didn't realize she was vetting her future brother-in-law when she and Jared became close friends at Tulane, but she couldn't have chosen a better addition to the #VociSquad if she tried. You will hear her before you see her coming, and are guaranteed a lively time in her company!
Da'vel met Jared at football practice the summer before they started high school. Their shared name meant they started every day together in homeroom, and their bond grew on and off the field. This strong bond became brotherhood when they co-captained the football team their senior year. While college took them down different paths, their friendship remains close. A meteorologist, Da'Vel is actually someone you want to discuss the weather with!
Susie met Jared in college through work and met Renata through Francesca (a theme). While she may have started as Renata's "big sis" in their sorority, she has become family to the Vocis and is one of their favorite people. Few know the couple separately and together as well as she does, for better or worse ('til death do us part!) To summon Susie, play ABBA.
