The "I Do" Crew

The family

James Thorpe
James Thorpe - Best Man
Jono's younger brother, AKA Jamie, has been at Jono's side since they were both able to walk. An accomplished scholar with a PhD in Chemistry (ask him what that means!), you are just as likely to find him on a basketball court or on a long-distance bike ride as you are in a lab. He and Andrea are happily married and live with their two pets, a mini dachshund named Winnie, and a blue-tongued skink named Porkchop. Jono was James' best man in 2023, and now gets to see the roles reversed for his older brother!
Andrea Kakon
Andrea Kakon - Bridesmaid
Andrea is Megan's future sister-in-law and her first friend in Montreal. Andrea may be a Pharmacist by day, but outside of work she's a trivia master, devoted dog-mom and Montreal food scene aficionado. Andrea has welcomed Megan into her family and has always been there to help Megan adjust to the international move and becoming a new member of the Thorpe family.
Taylor Amazan
Taylor Amazan - Bridesmaid
As the designated cousin to babysit Megan since when she was little, Taylor has always been an older sister to Megan, whether she agreed to or not! While at first she was not given a choice to watch her youngest cousin while her sister Jenna and Megan's brother Zack ran around creating chaos, the time spent together has been unforgettable. Taylor is an amazing wife and mom but (maybe) more notably, she was the music director for all home-films created by the Mueller cousins. While those films haven't hit the silver screens (yet), there might be some sneak peaks during the wedding week.
Zack Mueller
Zack Mueller - Groomsman
Zack, an accomplished lawyer who lives in Denver, is Megan's older brother. Although his days are often spent in front of a computer, he much prefers to spend his time outdoors, either in the back country of the Colorado mountains on a ski slope, or taking a long bike ride. Even though they are almost the same age, Jono is excited to finally not be the older brother for once!
Jenna Horton
Jenna Horton - Bridesmaid
If you hear a giggle you know that it's either Jenna laughing or she is making everyone else laugh. Jenna is Megan's cousin (and Taylor's sister), she is a huge soccer expert and has found a way to have a job that centers around it. Jenna is always down to explore a new place and always knows the best local places to check out while there. Jenna is the best cheerleader in Megan's life that she is so grateful to have.
Michael Pawluk
Michael Pawluk - Groomsman
Jono's only cousin, Michael has always felt like another brother to both him and James, and he's done many of the same things as Jono throughout his life so far; drumming in a metal band, moving to many different parts of the continent (From Austin to Buffalo and now Annapolis), and a deep love of coffee, to name but a few. Armed with a PhD in English Literature, and a love of hiking and camping that his wife Meghan brought out in him, Michael is always ready for adventure.

The College Friends

Niamh Smith
Niamh Smith - Co-Maid of Honor
Pronounced "Neeve like Steve", Niamh was the fourth roommate that Megan and Gisele never asked for at WPI, but they were so grateful to have! Niamh and Megan bonded over Niamhs short term memory and consistency of coming into the dorm room every day for a whole term, interrupting Megans' afternoon nap between classes. Even though her naps were shorter, Megan is so happy Niamh came in and they quickly became friends. Niamh, Gisele and Megan lived together every year at WPI from Sophomore to Senior year. Niamh is living her "Criminal Minds" dream as a DNA analyst in DC. She's an amazing wife, marathon runner, and the most amazing supportive friend.
Gisele Trivino
Gisele Trivino - Co-Maid of Honor
She may be small, but there is so much spunk, fun, and energy packed into Gisele. If she isn't hiking, skiing, or walking her pup Koda, you can find Gisele traveling the world and checking off all the places on her bucket list. Gisele was Megan's official first friend at WPI, they met on a Facebook page for students coming to WPI looking for roommates. After talking about their roommate preferences, Megan and Gisele knew they were meant to be in each others lives. Gisele is the most caring friend and will do anything to protect her squad.
Julie Gagnon
Julie Gagnon - Bridesmaid
If you're looking for the most devoted friend that is also brutally honest and a huge Pats fan, Julie is your girl. Julie and Megan met in college and bonded through Alpha Phi events and Mechanical Engineering classes. Julie is a world traveler, most likely to never turn down a hike or a mountain to snowboard down. If Megan and Julies friendship survived a New Years Eve game of monopoly, you know this friendship will survive anything.

The childhood friends

Dexter Ruiz-Laing
Dexter Ruiz-Laing - Groomsman
Jono and Dex met playing video games and D&D at a local card shop in Montreal some twenty-plus years ago, and they still share that connection to this day. Although he see's Dex's twin brother Max more often in person (he is the owner of Lou's), the two chat almost every day about fantasy football. Affectionately known by Jono's mom as a "pseudo son", Dexter has been around the Thorpe family more than almost anyone else, and is a cherished friend.
Katie Wells
Katie Wells - Bridesmaid
Katie is one smart cookie; always getting top grades in school, winning awards for sciences fairs, and now a pharmacist for the oncology department at OHSU. Katie and Megan's friendship started in middle school and they quickly became inseparable from taking many classes together and having shared interests. They've spent many nights staying up talking and laughing until they cry, raiding Katie's parents' pantry for snacks (they have the best snacks), and enjoying a cold beer at any brewery they come across. While they live on opposite coasts, their friendship has never wavered.
Antoine Marchand
Antoine Marchand - Groomsman
Antoine and Jono met for the first time in pre-kindergarten at the age of 4, and have been best friends ever since. A fiercely loyal person, Tony is always ready for anything - be it a night out on the town, watching the newest Star Wars shows that he and Jono obsess over, or planning a road trip (he isn't a fan of flying). Antoine is the life of the party, you'll likely find him on the dance floor, pumping everyone up and having a great time with people he knows, and people he doesn't!
Zac Guttman
Zac Guttman - Groomsman/Officiant
Zac and Jono's friendship started before they were even born. Both of their mom's grew up on the same street together and were childhood friends, so it's no surprise that the two would follow in their parents footsteps when they met at the beginning of high school. One of the most caring people you will ever meet, Zac will go to the ends of the Earth for his friends. As an experienced actor, it was a no-brainer to ask him to officiate our wedding. We know his comedic relief will come into play, in addition to some heartfelt moments that will create memories to last a lifetime.
Elisabeth Sorenson
Elisabeth Sorenson - Bridesmaid
Elisabeth and Megan have talked about their wedding day since high school. While they have a long distance friendship, Megan and Elisabeth always know what is going on in each other lives. Elisabeth is a loving wife, amazing mother, and living her best life in California. They've shared some incredible experiences in Greece and Florida, and cannot wait to travel even more together!
Matthew Gillis
Matthew Gillis - Groomsman
One of Megan's biggest wishes was to have been around during Jono's band years, of which Matt was the guitar player. Although he does not perform much on stage anymore, Matt is still heavily involved in music, producing works for many artists across North America (you have probably heard music he's written on the radio!). Matt and Jono share a great love for cocktails and spirits, and they often spend hours talking about how to tweak different recipes.
Noah Seltzer
Noah Seltzer - Groomsman
Noah and Jono's friendship dates all the way back to the beginning of high school. After meeting at Zac's house for the first time, they quickly grew close. Always one for a good conversation, Noah is great at analyzing difficult situations and providing his own insight, be it over a bourbon or a homecooked meal. Always ready for a good time, Noah loves to go with the flow and get the party started.
Alex Fanelli
Alex Fanelli - Groomsman
Alex, or Fanelli as most people call him, has been friends with Jono since the beginning of high school. An accomplished cook, he is often found in the kitchen cooking up nonna's various recipes for friends and family. He and Jono share a passion for wine and food, often going out for dinners together with Megan and Mel. A true gentleman of old-school Italian upbringing, Alex is always there when you need him, and sometimes also when you don't!

The florida friends

Emily Smith
Emily Smith - Bridesmaid
A common thread between Megan and Emily is the consistency of Megan following Emily to whatever company she works for. Between Universal and Amazon, Megan and Emily are always able to vent about work but also have fun as friends. While living together, they've shared recipes, dating advice, and once ran a 10k together. Emily has been there for all of Megan and Jono's relationship and will be there supporting them during the wedding festivities!
Ryan Paul
Ryan Paul - Groomsman
While Ryan was first friends with Megan through their shared time working at Universal Creative together, he and Jono became fast friends once they were introduced by Megan. A true nature lover, Ryan can often be found with a pair of binoculars around his neck, and a kayak on his roof rack. He is a lover of all things IPA, and is a cherished part of Jono and Megan's time in Florida.
Jessica Hendricks
Jessica Hendricks - Bridesmaid
Jess and Megan met at Universal Creative when they worked on a project for Kung Fu Panda. They bonded over line dancing at Cowboys and their love for musical theater. While Jess may not agree that Cats is the best musical (even though it is) she gets to set up shows for Broadway tours in her job at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando. If she's not working at the theater, she will be behind the camera doing photoshoots. Jess is a true friend that will support you no matter what, and is always available to talk when Megan needs advice (and vis versa).
