Wedding Party
Cortez Ludden
Officiant
Cortez is Ross' best friend. Their friendship stretches back to 7th grade but really began to grow through freshman high school football and fishing as much as they could at Samoset lake. You will either find Cortez helping out a friend or family member or down at the Cape Cod Canal reeling in a keeper. Cortez has also known Taylor since middle school and has been friends with her ever since. Both Ross and Taylor could not think of a better person to stand in between them on their special day.
Moriah Giovanucci
Emcee
Moriah and Taylor go wayyy back to Julie Country Day where we both fostered a love for classic theatrical music through a beloved friend and piano teacher, Mrs. Delaney. Flash forward to high school, we became best friends, and have remained solid supports for each other over the years.
Ryan Potvin
Best Man
Ross has known Ryan since before he was born. Ryan is Ross' younger brother and Best Man. Ryan spent a lot of his time growing up hanging out with Ross and his friends, either playing whiffle ball, mini hockey, football in the snow, you name it. Ryan has always been by Ross' side, cheering him on at every one of his hockey or football games and will up by his side on his wedding day. Ryan lives in Gardner with his long time girlfriend Haylee and is a busy man helping their dad, Ray run a Sandwich Shop.
Nicole Fontaine
Maid of Honor
Nicole is Taylor's official best friend in the whole wide world. We met in high school after school sewing dresses for another one of Taylor's theatrical productions, and were inseparable ever since. We ended up working with each other at multiple jobs, and then living together on Gordon street for many years before Nicole moved to Florida where she resides with her German Shepard, Penny and her boyfriend Danny.
Justin Richard
Groomsman
Justin is one of Ross' cousins on his mother's side. He is not only a cousin, but one of Ross' best friends. The two have spent a lot of time with each other over the years and have made some great memories at their Memorial Day fishing trips, parties at Justin's house, and a week long road trip to Pittsburgh to watch the Steelers at Heinz field a few years ago. Most of you have probably met Justin and have even been to a gathering at his house. You'll find Justin either out in the barn/field taking care of his horses, maintaining his 10/10 lawn, or spending time with family.
Fernanda Palma
Bridesmaid
Fern and Taylor knew of each other for a long time before a mutual friend suggested they live together when Taylor was looking for her first roommate on Gordon Street. They lived together for a while, but their friendship really has blossomed over the last few years. Fern has one of those families that when you become close with Fern, you're adopted into her family too. Fern bought a house in Gardner with her parents Taylor knows as China and Chino- who will sing the girls love songs on karaoke to warm up the machine before handing the mic over to us.
Tim King
Groomsman
Tim is Ross' cousin, Erika's husband... making him another cousin of Ross'. Like Justin, Tim is another one of Ross' best friends. The two have made most of their memories growing up thanks to Ross' Memere and Pepere's annual RV camping trips. This is where Tim first entered into the family and is where Ross and Tim developed the bond they have now. Ross and Tim have historically been whiffleball/football/basketball teammates at family gatherings against Ross' brother Ryan, and cousin, Nick (also a Groomsman). In his spare time you will find Tim taking care of his family, working on improving his "homesteader" lifestyle, and spreading the Good News!
Monica Gingrass
Bridesmaid
Monica entered her way into our friend group through Fern's frequent visits to Starbucks where Monica worked for a while. Shortly after, Monica became another 'Gordon Girl' and lived at 70 Gordon for a short while until she met her Boyfriend, Jake. They recently bought a house in Rindge, NH where they live with their dog, Koda. Monica was one of Taylor's first referrals into the carpenter's union- where she currently works today.
Nick Potvin
Groomsman
Nick is Ross' cousin on his father's side and is another one of Ross' best friends. The two have essentially known each other for their entire lives. They spent a lot of time together growing up, especially sharing time with Memere and Pepere on their RV camping trips. Nick and Ross were always finding treasures at the beach, playing whiffle ball, or creating some sort of invention or new game to play. In his spare time, you will find Nick spending time with his wife Katelyn, hanging out with friends, or working on projects around his new house.
Kaylee Lanza
Bridesmaid
Kaylee and Taylor first met when Kaylee's sister was living at the Gordon Street apartment, and shared many mutual friends, Fern being one of them. Kaylee ended up taking her sister's room at Gordon Street, and grew closer to Taylor over the years. Kaylee is a very talented artist, and certified yoga instructor.
Jose Fusaro
Groomsman
Jose is married to Ross' cousin Jaclynn...making him another one of Ross' cousins and best friends. At one point in time Ross actually referred to Jose as "the best thing that has ever happened to the family". However, it is unknown whether or not this remains true as that title may have been replaced by Jose's son Gavin, but needless to say, it was said. Ross has made many great memories with Jose at the annual Memorial Day fishing trips and various parties/vacations. In his spare time Jose enjoys spending time with family, fishing, and cooking some delicious chicken wings.
Haylee Hebert
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Haylee have gotten close only recently, however there are hopes that someday they might be sisters. Haylee is Ryan Potvin's girlfriend, and she is an RN at Heywood Hospital in Gardner. Both Haylee and Taylor didn't grow up with any sisters, so they are both equally excited for this marriage.
Jackson Landry
Groomsman
Jackson is Taylor's brother, and now someone Ross is excited to call a brother. Jackson and Ross have known each other for just about 5 years and have definitely built a special bond. Even though the two do not see each other too often, they are always there for each other and pull through. They have built some great memories together visiting Jackson and Taylor's Aunt and Uncle at Martha's Vineyard, and during their Holiday get togethers. In his spare time, Jackson enjoys spending time with his girlfriend Cassandra and making music.
Shelby Harrington
Bridesmaid
Shelby and Taylor first met doing stage crew in their high school theatre company, and shared multiple groups of mutual friends over the years. They just kept getting closer and closer, often sharing phone calls on long drives, and being a shoulder for each other in hard situations. Shelby also joined the carpenters union, and recently moved out to Western Ma with her boyfriend, Eddie and her 3 birds.
