James & Bryanna
Wedding Party
Bryanna Gulotta
Bride
The most beautiful, brilliant woman alive
James Rowe
Groom
The luckiest man alive
Fay Gulotta
Maid of Honor
Bry and Fay met when Fay was born! It was a great sisterhood filled with fun times like playing with dolls, reading books, and catching fireflies. They've known each other for Fay's whole life and can't imagine not being sisters. Currently Fay is living in Japan and being *extraordinarily helpful* with wedding planning from abroad, including texting many questions about the wedding, offering to help via phone, and accidentally calling people who are asleep. She wishes the happiest of marriages to her sister and future brother-in-law and is looking forward to being there in person for the wedding!
John Rowe
Best Man
James's brother
Claire Greenbaum
Matron of Honor
Bry and Claire met the first day of college orientation at Cornell and have been friends ever since! From being roommates with a secret turtle to weekly trips to the Farmers market, they've been close ever since! Claire is honored to return the privilege of being Bry's Matron of Honor.
Mike Kachmar
Groomsman
Michael is James’s cousin and is super excited to be part of his wedding party. While currently located in South Jersey (at time of press), he will be traveling up from the deep south of Louisiana where he will be relocating for work in July - and hopes to be a true southern gentleman by then. He looks forward to spending time with all his friends and family on James and Bry’s special day. He is honored to be represented by the above (or below) photo of a random alpaca or headshot scraped from LinkedIn / Doximity of James and Bry’s choosing, and is equally excited to find out what photo that will be!
Mary Crawford
Bridesmaid
Bry's childhood best friend
Joe Bonica
Groomsman
The details of Joe and James' first meeting are hazy, but likely involved some combination of alcohol and cigars. Like all friendships forged over these, this one has stood the tests of time, distance, respiratory viruses, and the rise and fall of cryptocurrency. Joe actually thinks he might have been present when James and Bry first met, but this could be an illusion brought on by Joe's increasingly tenuous grip on reality. All things considered, Joe is ready to bring his special brand of....something to help celebrate James and Bry's special day.
Cate Rowe
Bridesmaid
Cate is James’s favorite sister. James entered her life like a twister. But she loves him so much, and Bry like a sister; She can’t wait for them to officially become Doctor and Mister! It’s a work in progress. Not ready for publication yet. I use sister twice and that’s just unacceptable.
Sean Kirkpatrick
Groomsman
Sean is an alpaca. A member of the Camelidae family, Sean enjoys a rich diet of leaves, wood, bark, and stems. His fur can be woven into mittens and socks.
Liya Stoyler
Bridesmaid
Liya met Bryanna during freshman year of Cornell at their required physical education course. Whereas others chose more conventionally exciting classes such as rock climbing or horseback riding, they chose walking (and signed up for another semester together). It was a great choice, as they got to explore Ithaca on foot with great people, and soon found out they lived in the same dorm. Since that time, Liya has appreciated having a great friend in Bryanna, who could commiserate about medical training. She has also loved watching James and Bryanna grow as a couple over the years and is grateful for the time that they could spend together while living in the NYC area. Most importantly, she is thankful that Bryanna has always indulged her in long walks when they meet up!
Jon Sanger
Groomsman
“Sanger” met James in middle school in Hershey, PA, where they geeked out over Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. They both ended up in NYC after college. After six years in New York, Sanger moved to Seattle with his wife, Emily. He still insists that Jar Jar Binks wasn’t that bad of a character.
