Wedding Party
Larissa Gonçalves
Maid of Honor
A treasured friend of the bride, Lari is a constant source of joy and partnership. Whether celebrating the good times or standing together through challenges, she has proven time and again that true friendship makes every moment more meaningful.
Sully Bumbaugh
Best Man
The “not so little” brother and best man to Jaxon. Sibling rivalry in hockey and basketball has defined their relationship in the years when Sully has been competent. Today though, what defines their relationship is their desire to be there for each other no matter what.
Keven Kaio
Man of Honor
The bride’s childhood best friend and truly like a brother. Keven has witnessed every dream, every plan, and every story leading up to this special day. Although he cannot be there in person, his presence will be felt through a heartfelt speech shared online.
Cam Gaffke
Groomsman
Cam brings double the fun to any situation! He has been a dependable friend to Jaxon since they met at Michigan State, and has been an asset at his side in many different adventures. Whether it’s wiping out on the moped in an East Lansing snow bank, or a beach in Cancún or Charleston, Cam is a ride or die for Jaxon!
Camila Lúcio
Bridesmaid
Cecília’s cousin and lifelong inspiration, Camila has always shown her that the world is far too big to stay in just one place. From family gatherings to life’s little adventures, she has led by example and encouraged Cecília to explore, dream, and embrace new experiences.
Connor Gaffke
Groomsman
Was it math class or rushing Sigma Pi? The story of how these two met isn’t clear. What is clear though, is the strong bond Connor and Jaxon share. His humor and energy make him an amazing addition to Jaxon’s life!
Gabby Bumbaugh
Bridesmaid
The groom’s sister, but a sister at heart to the bride as well. Gabby has been there through countless laughs, late-night chats, and incredible memories. Always full of warmth and kindness, she makes every moment brighter and every adventure more fun.
Greg Gibson
Groomsman
The best thing to come out of Canada since Justin Bieber, comes Greg Gibson! Like a Swiss Army Knife, Greg has been a dependable, and fun, friend to Jaxon in the ten years they’ve known each other. The hijinks they’ve been involved in from high school hockey to the fraternity days are prized memories to both.
James Peter Culbertson
Groomsman
Although they were neighbors for nearly 20 years, they may as well have been brothers. Some hallmarks of JP and Jaxon’s friendship throughout the years have ranged from debates about Star Wars lore, to spending time in the penalty box together, which both happened while playing hockey together!
Laura Saraiva
Bridesmaid
A close friend of Cecília from her Seattle days, they shared some of the greatest American adventures side by side. Together, they discovered what it feels like to be far from home and to start a new life, always with good humor and the best sleep overs!
Ryan Brow
Groomsman
Ryan came into Jaxon’s life as Gabby’s boyfriend, but now he is an actual brother to Jaxon. He is a College hockey player, and Jaxon was immediately impressed by that and welcomed him to the family! Ryan and Jaxon developed a bond in three years so strong, that it feels like a lifetime!
Sabrina Souza
Bridesmaid
The very first friend Cecília made when she arrived in the United States, back when she lived in Seattle. Ironically, or perhaps by fate, both of them ended up living in Illinois, continuing their adventures.
Timmy Page
Groomsman
The only two cousins born within the same year as each other, Jaxon and Timmy were always Yin and Yang at family gatherings. Whether it be waterskiing, hockey, or pursuit of their professional goals, Timmy and Jaxon always pushed each other from close and afar to do better. If anyone needs a doctor, in two years, you better call Timmy!
