Wedding Party
Emily Gray Rice
Mother of the Bride
She needs no introduction, but here it is anyway. Emily is Phoebe's mom, also known as Divamama to some, the Honorable Emily Gray Rice to others, and "Granny" to two. Emily is a paddle board aficionado and can read a book in like two minutes. Emily lives in Concord with her husband Ricky (Phoebe's dad) and they share the cutest love story, highly recommend asking to hear the tale. This picture of baby Phoebe and her mom is from Phoebe's first time at the dentist.
Ricky Axtman
Father of the Bride
Ricky is Phoebe's dad and has the important role of making sure she doesn't trip walking down the aisle. Phoebe followed in her dad's footsteps and became a therapist. They had the rare opportunity to bond as coworkers on the Riverbend Emergency Services team in the Emergency Department, learning from each other. Ricky is a western lumberjack from Montana who sold his beloved truck and chased the love of his life Emily toward the east coast, where they raised Phoebe and her older sister in NH. In a former life Ricky would run 10 miles in one hour each day. He knows everything there is to know about rocks and passed his creative gene down to Phoebe. This picture of Ricky and Phoebe is from her college Graduation, where Ricky was looking sharp.
Judy Barrett Weatherbee
Mother of the Groom
Judy is Andrew's mom and travel agent. She is a quilting queen and lover of Metallica. She lives in Concord with her husband Don, and continues to be an active member of the community through her volunteer work. Andrew and Judy are always plotting their next trip together, joined by Judy's baby brother John, aka Uncle John. This picture of Judy and Andrew is from their trip to Portugal.
Donald Weatherbee
Father of the Groom
Larry Bird...excuse me, we mean Don is Andrew's father. You don't want to challenge him to a game of bowling, as he managed Boutwell's for over a decade. Andrew and Don share their love for sports, however not baseball teams...with Don being a tried and true Red Sox fan and the misjudgement of Andrew's allegiance to the Yankees. They have a shared past time of visiting ball fields through out the US. This picture is of a younger Andrew and Don playing in the snow.
Anna Moskov
Officiant
Anna was Phoebe's babysitter starting when she was 4 years old and has been a sisterly role model since. When Andrew and Phoebe started planning the wedding, Anna was the first person to come to mind to officiate, as she means so much to Phoebe and her family. This picture of Anna and little Phoebe is from Anna's prom where she rocked the most badass hairstyle.
Sophia Axtman
Matron of Honor & Sister to the Bride
Sophia, the Matron of Honor, is Phoebe's big sister. Sophia lives in MA with her husband Craig and their two children. When she isn't working in the fast pace environment of the emergency room, you can find Sophia dreaming up a new dream salad recipe or watching RuPaul's Drag Race. This picture is from a sister vacation Phoebe and Sophie took to Florida.
Allison Pinski
Maid of Honor
Allison, the Maid of Honor, is Phoebe's inseparable best friend (Andrew is their third wheel). Phoebe met Allison while working at Riverbend in 2020. They share the same meet-cute story of thinking the other person was way too cool to be their friend and the rest is history. Phoebe calls Allison Prozac in human form, always bringing light into a space and deeply caring for what is right. This picture is from the time Phoebe and Allison went to THE eras tour in Amsterdam, a once in a lifetime trip that their friendship survived, so it's safe to say this friendship is for life.
Emily Keefe Pickart
Bridesmaid
Emily and Phoebe met in 2010 at Simmons College and their friendship has grown over the years into something very special. Phoebe enjoys taking trips up to the North East Kingdom of Vermont to visit Emily, where she lives with her lovely husband Ken and famous dog Kodak. Emily is cool, calm and collected. This picture of a youthful Phoebe and Emily is from the final days at Simmons.
Rebecca Wolfe
Bridesmaid
Rebecca is Phoebe's longest and dearest friend, as well as the most kind and loyal person. Phoebe and Rebecca grew up in Concord together and became close during their sophomore year on the XC ski team. Rebecca lives in Concord with her hunky husband Tyler and three daughters. Phoebe and Rebecca have stuck beside each other in life's high highs and deep lows, including many awkward hairstyles. Once upon a time Phoebe and Rebecca's lives were less hectic and they enjoyed going to concerts together, this picture is from the time they saw the Queen B with Jay-Z for the On The Run Tour.
Paige Weatherbee
Bridesmaid & Sister to the Groom
Paige is Andrew's little sister. Phoebe could not walk down the aisle without Paige being part of the bridal party. Paige is not only the little sister Phoebe never had, but she has also become a close friend. Paige works for Riverbend (yes, everyone attending the wedding has worked at Riverbend) and recently went back to school to pursue her Masters in Dietetics. Paige was brave enough to be the first Weatherbee to go on vacation with Phoebe, and this picture is from their trip to Canada to see Noah Kahan.
Joseph Gallant
Best Man
Joe, the bestest man, is one of Andrew’s good friends from Nichols College. Joe lives in NH with his wife Crystal and three kids. Andrew has always looked up to Joe, figuratively and physically. Joe is a reliable friend who will be there in a heartbeat. This picture of Andrew and Joe shows their shared fashion sense.
Casey Delia
Groomsman
The story goes that Casey and Andrew initially assumed the other was an urban legend. They had mutual friends in high school, however their paths had never crossed until one fateful day. They hit it off from the beginning and Casey has not been able to get rid of Andrew since. Casey has always had the gift of making Andrew feel included. Casey lives in MA with his wife Julianna and their two felines. This is a picture from Casey's wedding.
Luca Venterosa
Groomsman
Two awkward freshman were brought together during a school wide tornado lockdown at Nichols. They share a love for golf, even after Luca mistook Andrew’s head for the ball. His game hasn’t improved since. Luca lives in MA with his wife Adrienne. This picture of Andrew and Luca is from the early days of their friendship.
Mitch Philippe
Groomsman
Mitch is Andrew’s longest friend, and the only person who remembers Andrew with a full head of hair. Although a man of few words, Mitch has remained a steady presence in Andrew’s life. They may have warmed the bench together on CHS basketball, but now they get plenty of playing time every Monday together. This picture is of Andrew and Mitch watching their teams compete.
Mike Cattaruzza
Groomsman
Mike and Andrew met at Nichols freshman year, sharing a passion for sports banter. Known to some as Big Cat, he is a gentle giant with a heart of gold. This picture of Mike and Andrew is from one of their many times on the golf course together.
