Andrew Gorgone
Best Man
The person Cullen has known the longest, Andrew is the definition of a lifetime friend. It won’t be hard to find him on the dance floor. If you get a chance to have a beer with him, ask him about the time he and the groom switched seats at halftime of the Superbowl in Houston...
