Wedding Party
Jake Kaplan
Officiant
Jake is Gabe’s older brother and is looking for a three-peat with wedding officiating. On top of that, Jake is taking on the role of co-bestman. He does it all! It means the world to have him send us off on this new beginning!
Jon Kaplan
Best Man
If you didn’t know, now you know. Jon is Gabe’s twin brother and built-in best friend. As the groom's closest confidant and partner in crime (aside from Erika, of course), Jon is honored to stand by his side on this special day!
Caitlin Wixted
Matron of Honor
Caitlin is Erika’s cousin and has been by her side through it all. Known as the life of the party, Caitlin brings joy, energy, and a contagious spirit wherever she goes. Meet her on the dance floor from 6pm on!
Jake Berry
Groomsman
Another Jake? Don’t worry, there will be one more! This Jake, we’ll call him Berry, is the groom’s hilarious bff who never fails to keep him laughing. Whether it’s a quick wit or a perfectly timed joke, he’s always there to lighten the mood. I promise, if you hear Gabe laughing, you’ll find Berry near by!
Meaghan Maher
Bridesmaid
Oh Meaghan. Everyone needs a Meaghan in their life. This friendship started back in youth soccer and has stood the test of time. Meaghan has been by Erika’s side through everything and it’s only right that she’s next to her on this big day!
Jason Nejame
Groomsman
It’s pronounced Nee-Jame. Jason is Gabe’s oldest friend. Every crazy memory that Gabe has, Jason was right there with him. He may say he’s Gabe’s best friend, but Gabe would consider him more like a brother (aww)!
Katie Mae Main
Bridesmaid
1/3 of the three best friends that anyone can have! Katie is there without fail, supporting Erika no matter what. You know when you just want someone to listen to you vent and say “you’re 100% right”, well that’s Katie!
Matt Reseska
Groomsman
Matt is Gabe’s not so little cousin. He’s the only person HAPPY to go to the gym with Gabe at 2am, which has only brought them closer.
Susana Kaplan
Bridesmaid
Susana is one of Erika’s soon to be sister-in-laws but that’s just the beginning. Her spirit lights up the room! Just start some music (Cher) and she’ll be there in no time getting you to dance. Get ready!
Jake Wixted
Groomsman
This is the last Jake, we promise! Third time’s the charm? Gabe met Jake early on in high school before ever meeting his sister Erika. When Gabe started dating Erika in high school, he already knew that he was going to love the Wixted family because Jake set the tone early on. This bromance has grown over the years like the modern fairytale, I Love You Man.
Matt Wixted
Groomsman
It’s no surprise that Erika wanted her brother Matt on her side as a bridesman because he calls it like it is but in the end, Gabe won that battle. Known to keep everyone on their toes with his out-of-pocket jokes and unpredictable comments, Matt is the brother-in-law that Gabe knew he wanted but didn’t know he needed!
Laura Kaplan
Bridesmaid
Do you hear that? No, that’s not Spotify’s 90s hits on shuffle. That’s Laura, Erika’s soon-to-be sister in-law. If we didn’t have our DJ, we’d definitely have Laura be our MC. Who knows, she may make a guest appearance at the microphone. The Jack of all trades, Laura is a go-to, right hand woman that captured those beautiful engagement pictures of us. We can’t imagine our big day without her!
Rebecca Sargeant
Bridesmaid
Who knows if Erika would’ve made it through the end of college if she didn’t have this friendship! Rebecca always has Erika’s back, along with a strong movie quote to go along with whatever situation they’re in. Friends since middle school, they’ve seen each other through those true awkward years so you know it’s real!
Lauren Reseska
Bridesmaid
The OG! Lauren may be Gabe’s cousin but her and Erika have clicked since the start. Lauren has always been apart of Team Erika (est. 2012) and she’s the breath of fresh air that every family needs. We’re lucky to have Lauren right there to celebrate with us!
Davin Hall
Groomsman
No typos here! Davin (Dave) is Gabe’s older cousin, a man who brings both wisdom and humor to every occasion. A respected Jewish lawyer (no surprises here), he played a pivotal role in Gabe’s upbringing, sharing his wisdom and insights into enjoying life as well as facing it when there’s adversity.
William Henry Dean III
Groomsman
A name fit for a king. We call him “Billy”. Billy and Gabe’s friendship goes back so long, nobody can remember where it started. From gym partners to motivators to shoulders to lean on, they’ve always been there for each other. Gabe’s mom used to call Billy for help if Gabe was at work. Billy answered every time. Theres no better friend to have, than our billy.
Richie Weekley
Groomsman
Richie seems to be like Gabe’s Swiss Army Knife sometimes. Need help with wedding planning? Call Richie. Need help with your fantasy football lineup? Call Richie. Home improvements? Call Richie. Whatever the need is, Richie’s always there for Gabe and Gabe is the same for Richie.
