Donna & Timothy
Wedding Party
Sarah Gauzza
Maid of Honor
Donna and Sarah have been friends since the age of four; they met in pre-school and have been inseparable since. Sarah now lives in Arizona after going out there for college and falling in love with not only the area but the love of her life as well. She now has three kids (including twins). Despite her hectic life and living so far away, Donna and her remain very close. They may not talk every day but they know that no matter what all they have to do is pick up the phone and the other is waiting right there. Unfortunately, due to horrible circumstances Sarah will not be able to attend the wedding but will be there in full spirit. Her family is going through a very hard time right now as her daughter fights leukemia. Please send all your good thoughts, good vibes, or prayers their way.
Maria Roof
Bridesmaid
Maria is one of Tim and Donna's closest friends. Maria met Tim when she started working at Apex Cinemas (like most of Tim's friends) in 2009. Donna was later introduced to her through Tim. Maria goes on most of their Disney trips and helped Tim plan the greatest day at Disney ever, the day they got engaged. She is more like family than just a friend. Tim and Donna put up with all of Maria's crazy antics and her constant lateness (always tell her things start earlier than they do). No matter what happens Maria will always be there to help support Donna and Tim. No one knows the two of them together quite like her. Maria will be filling the very big shoes of Donna’s maid of honor on her big day. This is a role she gladly fills while we all wish Sarah and her family well.
April Ortega
Bridesmaid
April is Tim's little sister and soon to be Donna's sister in law. April and Donna are known to go out on late night Taco Bell runs and have crazy girls days/nights. They regularly laugh at random things together and come up with ridiculous car games like the sandwich game (don't ask). Donna has helped April throughout school (especially that high school math), with cosplay costumes, and so much more. April has taught Donna a lot through the years and she doesn't even know it. April will soon be behind chair as a cosmetologist and helped by doing the brides and bridal parties hair for the wedding.
Morgan Napier
Bridesmaid
Morgan is Donna's older sister and she just had her wonderful son Seth on December 26th, 2019. Morgan was originally going to accompany Seth down the isle as he wasn't going to be able to do it by himself yet. Now that Seth is a big independent boy she is walking down the isle as one of Donna's bridesmaids. This is exciting but sad because it means that Seth is growing up too fast. Morgan has been in Donna's life for everything (as sisters are). They love each other even through differences and challenges. Donna has loved watching Morgan develop into a loving caring mother. Even though schedules are difficult sometimes and they don't see each other as often as they would like, they know that sister bond can never be broken.
Sean Smith
Best Man
Sean and Tim met in 2007 when Sean started working at Apex Cinemas with Tim. Sean and Tim had many common interests and began playing video games together, including World of Warcraft where they spent many hours together in game. They quickly became best friends and still enjoy playing games to this day. They also enjoy movie nights, UFC fights, looking at and taking pictures of the stars, discussing sports, and playing Dungeons and Dragons. Tim and Sean speak fluently in movie quotes to each other, often confusing everyone else around them.
Jacob Taylor
Groomsman
Jake and Tim again met at the theater in 2010 (are you seeing a trend here?). They started playing UFC Unleashed together and the rest is history. Jake and Tim have a very unique relationship that can't really be explained, you just have to know them. If you don't know them and hear them talk to each other you might think they hate each other. The thing is, if they weren't making fun of each other then something is very wrong. They are lovingly sarcastic to one another.
Sean Knowles
Groomsman
Sean and Tim also met at Apex about 16 years ago. Sean is actually the reason that Tim and Donna met. (Thanks Sean!!) Sean and Tim have remained friends through out the years despite Sean's hectic life with two kids now. Sean started weekly Dungeons and Dragon nights to keep in touch with his friends. Tim and Sean have a very weird sense of humor together.
Anthony Johnson
Groomsman
Anthony is Donna's cousin and close friend. Anthony over the years has become a very close friend to Tim and his entire family. Tim met Anthony when he was about 9 years old. Tim and Anthony enjoy playing games together and even played Super Smash together at another wedding. Anthony has become one of the guys and is even involved in one of Tim's weekly Dungeons and Dragons nights.
Kathryn Mclaughlin
Officiant
Tim met Katy while he was (you guessed it) working at the theater. Katy knows Tim and Donna both and is the perfect person to officiate their wedding. Katy has officiated multiple wedding and will be able to bring that personal touch to the ceremony.
Seth Napier
Ring Bearer
Seth will be a little over TWO years old by the time of the wedding. He won't need mama to hold his hand down the isle as he can already walk himself. This is so sad but so exciting. He is growing and changing every day and we can't wait to have this little prince charming bring the rings down the isle all by himself!! We love you Seth, stop growing up so fast!!
Rachel Johnson
Flower Girl
Rachel is Donna's cousin and has agreed to be her flower girl, one of the most important roles in the wedding as she will be helping to remember Tim's late brother Chris. Rachel will not be a typical flower girl; she will be walking a welded rose that Chris made down the isle and placing this in his seat. Tim and Donna needed a way to incorporate Chris' memory into the ceremony and this was the perfect way. Thank you for taking on this role Rachel!
Harley and Maggie (Tiny)
Bridal Dogs
No day of Donna and Tim's would be complete if their furry companions were not involved. Harley came into the family as a puppy and is still a puppy at heart. She loves nothing more than duck jerky, chasing squirrels, and a good nap. Maggie, who Donna affectionately deemed Tiny, came to them when she was 5 years old. Her previous owners were overwhelmed with life with two babies and Tiny was not taking to the lack of attention to her. Donna and Tim opened up the doors and they took her in and they cannot imagine life without her now. She loves to chase squirrels, bark at the TV, and cuddle up with Donna.
