Joanna & Evan
Wedding Party
John and Jeanne Orefice
Father and Mother of the Bride
To them we owe everything and more. There is absolutely nothing that they wouldn't do (or cook) for us. We are totally spoiled. Their love, thoughtfulness and silliness never cease to amaze us!
Mike and Nancy Clough
Father and Mother of the Groom
Their love for family has no bounds and the relationship they share is simply "goals". They are the most warm and fun - always the life of the party. We could not love them more!
Sara Clough
Matron of Honor
Soon Joanna and Sara will OFFICIALLY be sisters! Sara is equal parts beauty, grace, and a serious good time. As Joanna's soon to be sister-in-law their adventure together has just begun! Joanna and Evan could not be looking more forward to endless family gatherings and the oodles of babies we get to raise together over the next 60 years!
Laura Canning
Maid of Honor
Life long friends, Joanna has considered Laura a sister for over 18 years. Their childhood was filled with many dramatic displays of love, snacks, adventure, and an excessive amount of sleepovers. Since Evan has entered the picture Lou Lou has hands down become Joanna and Evan's biggest fan and cheerleader. If you are ever looking for Laura on a Saturday night you will find her, Scooter, Joanna and Evan at Skinny Dennis, their favorite bar in Brooklyn.
Madeline Donovan
Maid of Honor
Why have one Maid of Honor when you can have four?! Joanna grew up with four "not blood related" sisters and it is simply impossible not to honor them all! Joanna and Madeline's relationship started in ballet slippers at just 3 years old, picked up again in cleats in 5th grade soccer, and blossomed in middle school over their love of theater and mutual gloriously awkward years. The amount of joy Madeline brings into a room cannot be measured. She is hands down Joanna and Evan's most hilarious and talented best friend. P.S she has the voice of an angel and will be singing at the wedding!
Elizabeth Penberthy
Maid of Honor
Joanna claimed Liz as her best friend in kindergarten and she has been holding on tight to this angel ever since! This was no small feat, there was some serious competition for the cutest and kindest student in Mrs. Down's class! Liz is beauty, brains, and a bag of chips! Growing up Liz not only had the best snacks at her house, but she redesigned her basement to be a hang out spot for the Funky 5. While Laura and Joanna were at camp Becca, Maddie, and Liz painted it lime green, brought in some "funky" furniture and called it "The Kiwi"!
Rebecca Weiser
Maid of Honor
Brilliant and always wise beyond her years Becca was the Funky Five’s fearless leader through childhood and beyond! Joanna and Becca's mutual love of great friends, theater, brownies, the orthodontist, and pesto pasta has allowed their friendship to flourish for 18 years and counting!
Chelsea Vollrath
Bridesmaid
It was love at first fraternity party. Joanna and Chelsea were an inseparable pair on and off Elon Universities campus. Joanna and Chelsea's mutual passions include but are not limited to friendship, Trader Joes, coffee, breakfast, Oreos, exercise, great movies (i.e The Parent Trap), and studying (LOL). IF you are fortunate enough to earn her loyalty and giant heart then she will undoubtably be the greatest friend you ever have!
Amanda Pace
Bridesmaid
This fabulous human entered Joanna's life when Joanna was 5 years old. Life hasn't been the same since! Joanna and Amanda have spent many summers at the Pace household taking care of young Alex and Sam (Amanda's brothers), riding every major rollercoaster at Great Adventure, and staying up into the wee hours of the morning talking until Amanda would pass out and Joanna was left talking to herself!
Dominque Orefice
Bridesmaid
Dominque has certainly known Joanna the longest of the bunch! Domi has been a close cousin to Joanna since the day she was born nearly 25 years ago! Domi is a strong, funny, patient, loving and easy going soul. As the only two girl cousins (until Amanda arrived!) they definitely ruled the roost together when it came to the many awesome and often ridiculous games they would play during every family party.
Chrissie Chevalier-Horgan
Bridesmaid
It's safe to say Joanna wouldn't have made it through a single day of medical school without this spectacular human being. She never fails to celebrate others even for the smallest accomplishments. She is patient, warm, flexible, easy going, supportive, understanding, mature beyond her years, and will undoubtably be Joanna’s rock on her wedding day. After meeting her you will wish she was your big sister and your best friend!
John Clough
Best Man
Evan's wombmate! He may be the second best ping pong and Settlers of Catan player in the Clough family but he is the king of breakfast, smoked meats, the air fryer, and Coors Light. John makes life infinitely more fun.
Ryan Clough
Best Man
Brooklyn's newest and finest resident. King of the basketball court, peanut butter sandwiches, and immigration law. The best big brother you could ask for - and the most caring & generous person we know.
Benjamin Wunderlich
Groomsman
Joanna's one and only irreplaceable brother! Evan and Ben have created a brotherhood over bourbon, backgammon, and pushing Joanna's buttons over the last 6 years.
Clark Pastrick
Groomsman
Gonzaga College High School friend - a heart of gold and the life of any and every party. Ask this guy to make you a drink or a brisket - you won't regret it.
Kevin Keehan
Groomsman
Gonzaga College High School friend and future Clemson Tigers head coach. If you are ever in need of a confidence boost about your golf game we would not recommend hitting the green with this guy.
Andrew Hassett
Groomsman
Friends and roommates since freshman year at JMU, Evan and Andrew's bond began with their mutual hatred for macroeconomics, and love of great friends. Joanna and Evan hope to move next door to Andrew and Tessa as soon as possible.
Anthony Serritella
Groomsman
JMU roommate, coworker, and best friend Anthony is the only person at the wedding who knows more about superheroes than Evan (except maybe Uncle Michael).
Andy Brown
Groomsman
Best friend and strength coach since freshman year at JMU, this kindhearted soul's beard game is as strong as his muscles.
Alex Clough
Groomsman
The unofficial fourth Clough brother, local NoVa legend and newest resident of Denver, CO. This guys continues to inspire Joanna and Evan with his adventures and outlook on life.
Gaines & Eleanor Wunderlich
Flower Girls
Our obsession with our nieces/god-babies is hard to hide!
