Wedding Party

The Wedding Website of Gabriella Goodwin and James Mandart
Meet our friends and family who will help us walk down the aisle!

Mikayla Goodwin

Maid of Honor & Koumbara

Mikayla is Gabriella's younger sister (or twin as many say) and now Maid of Honor! Mikayla brings so much creativity, excitement and positivity to our day. As our Koumbara, Mikayla will be a big part of our ceremony as well. She is having so much fun planning wedding festivities as she's been waiting her whole life for this. Gabriella could not be more thrilled to have her best friend next to her on the big day.


Jon Rowland

Best Man

Jon is James' absolute best friend; they go back to 9th grade in computer programming class. Jon is James' right hand man in life, available for a phone call anytime of day and will drop anything for him. Living miles apart in Boston and Long Island hasn't changed their friendship one bit. Their annual ski trip together is always a hit! We couldn't have a more kind, resourceful and excited best man! We can't wait to see you and Mary!

Francesca Goodwin

Bridesmaid

Francesca is Gabriella's amazing sister-in-law that has become a best friend and role model to Gabriella over the years! She is a ray of sunshine bursting with humor and kindness. She is the perfect addition to our wedding party, we don't know what we would do without her! Thank you Christopher for marrying the most amazing girl out there!


Christopher Goodwin

Groomsman

We're not sure what we would do without Christopher's unparalleled wedding planning skills. You may know him best as the official Bird Shirt man, or semi-professional Bocce player. He is truly the most amazing older brother Gabriella could have ever asked for, and there's no question James adores him as he "accidentally" ends up at his house once a week.

Olivia Corsaro

Bridesmaid

There is never a dull moment with Livi around! You can always count on her for a laugh, smile and the best hugs! She is the life of the party, and utterly personable. She gives so much of herself to the world and brings life to all of our family gatherings! As Francesca's sisters, Livi and Gabriella have grown every-closer over the years not only becoming friends, but family! James and I are so excited that you are a part of our day and can't wait to see your smiling face at the altar.


Daryl Goodwin

Groomsman

Gabriella's eldest brother, Daryl keeps us humble. As a Lacrosse coach and experienced groomsmen, Daryl will take his coaching skills to the groomsmen to show them how things really get done. Keep your eyes peeled for some fantastic dance moves from this one on 11/19/2022 !

Jaclyn Mandart

Bridesmaid

James' eldest sister, Jaclyn is an amazing addition to our wedding party. Lover of all things theatre, books, tea, travel and food, she is by far the most worldly member of our wedding party. Jaclyn, we always know we are in for an adventure with you!


Jake Soeder

Groomsman

Jake is James' longest friend since 3rd grade. TOO many memories to include. Jake is somebody you can count on any time of day or night, beyond kind and selfless. James is honored to have a friend like him. Catch him doing his signature move the stanky leg at the wedding. One of the best stories is that Jake drove 8 hours just to watch the HIMYM series finale with James. That's a... LEGEN...wait for it... DARY friend right there.

Annie Printup

Bridesmaid

James' middle sister, Annie is lover of all things crafting, quilting and sewing ! As a fellow William Smith alum, Annie and Gabriella are both Herons at heart. She took James and Gabriella on their first trip around Seneca Lake. Annie, we will never forget that amazing day!


Jordan Printup

Groomsman

Fellow Hobart alum, Jordan somehow brings an unbeatable sense of calm to every room he's in, while also never leaving a dull moment behind. We can't wait to celebrate with you in November!

Madison Maher

Bridesmaid

There are few people on Earth as genuine as Madison Maher. Gabriella met Madison before she joined the cross country team later in the game junior year. Not to be dramatic, but it was love at first sight. They are so much alike, shared so many amazing memories at HWS and have grown even closer since graduating. Please know that you will also never meet anyone better at the "Lil Jon Voice", so yes, "Yeah!" will be played on the dance floor. P.S. she's also a "converted Canadian".... Love you Chris.


Josh Barnes

Groomsman

Joshy boy! A beyond personable friend to both James and Gabriella. Also a fellow CrossFitter... there are endless memories from college together along with his wonderful girlfriend Rachael. Now a converted Canadian, his love for hockey fits right in. Lucky enough we still get to see him. Don't worry Josh, we'll make sure you are only served broccoli for dinner at the wedding.

Caroline Faherty

Bridesmaid

Caroline is the most loving, supportive and hilarious person you will ever meet! With a smile and laugh that light up any room, she and Gabriella always have the best time. Caroline and Gabriella met while studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France! During orientation, Gabriella knew she needed to make friends in this new foreign country all alone! She worked up the guts to compliment Caroline's adorable Kate Spade purse, and the rest is history! Caroline's enthusiasm and support is unmatched and an amazing addition to Gabriella's bridal party. We can't wait to celebrate with you in November!


Nate Gliedman

Groomsman

James and Nate met at HWS co-coaching the CrossFit club. An incredible team player, Nate is such a positive and kind soul to have around. At CrossFit class, Gabriella would always ask Nate to make her workouts because she knew he was easier to budge than James, haha! He is always down for an adventure and the dance floor. We had so much fun "cutting loose" in our dance group in college (if you know, you know!) We can't wait to celebrate with you in November, it's about time we get to see you!

Meghan Jette

Bridesmaid

Meghan and Gabriella met in fifth grade! From the first day of school, they were absolutely inseparable. When Meghan's family moved across the country just 2 years into their friendship, the distance didn't get in the way. Big shoutout to our Moms who let us make AOL accounts to chat, along with summer trips to Vermont, snail mail, and New Year's reunions. When Meghan moved back to Boston after graduation, their friendship not only survived 13 years of distance, but thrived. We are so excited to have someone as kind as you as part of our big day! The polar bear club lives on!


Morgan Bungerz

Groomsman

Drumroll please.... yes, another CrossFitter. Not only is Morgan now James' boss... but he is the biggest human Golden Retriever you will ever meet. Please feel free to pet his hair as much as you'd like. Morgan and his fiance Katie are kind and inspiring souls, always making sure everyone is appreciated. He is a role model to all of us and we couldn't imagine a more positive addition to our wedding party! Free advertising plug for #GymBungerz !

Grace Perigaut

Bridesmaid

Grace is one of Gabriella's oldest friends. Although they met at High Plain Elementary school, they truly became close at Wood Hill Middle. All the years of town, travel, and high school soccer were so much fun. A ray of sunshine, Grace has the most beautiful, unmatched soul. She will do anything for anyone. It could be weeks or months since Gabriella and Grace see each other, but they always pick up right where they left off.


Chris Lombardo

Groomsman

Chrissy Chris, another one of James' long-time friends! We've got the most Long Island person you'll ever meet. Please be aware that you may confuse his singing voice for the real Frank Sinatra. Yes, Yia-Yia is expecting a performance at the wedding. Chris is the kindest, sweetest person along with his loving wife Sam. There are countless memories on Neptune Avenue at the firepit and indoor pool. Chris we can't wait to celly with you.

Millie Pattullo

Flower Girl

Millie is our beautiful flower girl. Millie, Gabriella and James all share a mutual love for music. We couldn't imagine a more perfect flower girl for our big day. Even more special, Gabriella was the flower girl in her godparent's (Millie's parents) wedding when she was 7 years old, and Millie will be 7 years old for our wedding in November. How special!


Ambrose Khachane

Ring Bearer

We could not imagine a more perfect ring bearer than Ambrose. He is the most adorable, loving, and bright little boy you will ever meet. Ambrose and James both play ukelele and it is the cutest thing ever. Fun fact: Ambrose's parents, Chrissy & Anil (Gabriella's first cousins), met at HWS. Gabriella probably would not have gone to HWS if it weren't for Chrissy having gone all the way out there 20 years prior. So thank you Chrissy, for helping James and I meet!

Esther Printup

Flower Baby
