Kevin Gould
Father of the Groom
Kevin vividly remembers bringing Aaron home on a cold and snowy December day in his car carrier and putting him under the Christmas tree. Kevin has enjoyed watching Aaron grow and graduate from Landmark and Lynn University. Aaron tends to be methodical like Kevin and as a father he could not be more proud to see his son grow up into a fine adult and caring person. From the beginning at Lynn University, Aaron and Kathie's love as been a joy for Kevin to see. He is so looking forward to their magical day next summer!
Stella Donati
Maid of Honor
Best friends since they first met on the playground, Kathie and Stella have been dreaming of each other's weddings for 20 years. She is so thrilled that the day is finally coming, and even more so that Kathie is marrying the wonderful Aaron Gould. Despite living in different cities, states and even countries for much of their friendship, Kathie and Stella have managed to keep their bond strong through countless TV watch parties on facetime, endless FaceTimes and texts to discuss recent events (including Kathie's earliest dates with Aaron) and weekly photo dumps. Stella could not imagine--and truly cannot remember-- a life without Kathie in it and feels like the luckiest girl in the world to have grown up by her side. Let's celebrate!!!!
Christopher Gould
Best Man
Chris is Aaron's older brother and has seen Aaron develop into a confident young man. Though there was an age gap it did not stop the two of them from causing a little mayhem. Watching Aaron grow from Landmark School and then Lynn University was an incredible thing. Chris took Aaron out on his 21st birthday to the Chicken Box, and the two of them have a fun history of enjoying good food and shared friends. As Kathie started summering on Nantucket, Chris included Kathie in the fun. As Aaron settled in at college and met Kathie, Aaron went from being at times shy to being more social and a smile emerged that Chris never saw before. That is when you know it’s real!
Alexis Lowe
Bridesmaid
When Kathie and Alexis first met they were instantly bonded through their love for dance. They both were going through the sorority process at different schools but talked about how much they loved to be involved and help different philanthropies. They became very close and would be talking all the time. Alexis knew this day would come where her two favorite people (and the fish) would promise forever to each other. Alexis is so excited to recreate vodka sauce pasta parties, going to the beach, going golfing, and late night tea seshes. She is so excited and thankful to be a part of this day and can't wait to be a part of both Kathie and Aaron's lives for years to come!
Carly Grecco
Bridesmaid
Living across the world from friends and family, Carly was so grateful to have met a best friend for life while studying abroad in Australia. Carly and Kathie met early on in the trip and quickly became inseparable; they knew that the distance even after returning wouldn’t stop them from staying besties. After one of Carly’s visits to Florida, Kathie met Aaron, and Carly instantly loved how perfect a partner Aaron was for Kathie and how much positivity he brought to her life. Carly has loved watching Kathie grow and navigate different chapters of her life; and is even more ecstatic to see this chapter and to see Aaron and Kathie’s love evolve into the exciting next step they’re taking together!
Lissa Lipke
Bridesmaid
Lissa and Kathie met back in 2017 at Lynn University and became fast friends. From hanging out at each others houses, to spending time together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Lissa and Kathie have always had so much fun together! Lissa also became friends with Aaron shortly after she met Kathie and the three of them have formed an unbreakable bond. Lissa believes that Kathie and Aaron were made for each other, and she couldn’t be happier to see them get married, and to be a part of their big day!
Rena Tapanes
Bridesmaid
Rena and Kathie met on vacation in Cabo. Instantly the two clicked and became friends over their shared admiration for sunrises and sunsets, photography, and gratitude. Even living in different states, the two always keep up with each other‘s life events. Rena couldn’t be more honored to be with Kathie on such a special day and cannot wait for what the future has in store for Kathie and Aaron!
Sofia Donati
Bridesmaid
Since childhood, Sofia has been like a big sister to Kathie, guiding her through life's twists and turns. From braiding her hair to perfecting her makeup, Sofia has cherished every moment of their bond. Now, as Kathie embarks on this beautiful journey of marriage, Sofia couldn't be more thrilled to stand by her side, ensuring she looks as radiant as ever on her special day!
Sophie Friedberg
Bridesmaid
Since the day Sophie met Kathie in the eighth grade, she knew they would be friends for life. After years of dancing through the night straight into brunch in the morning after, Kathie and Sophie have built a bond that withstands the test of time. Now that this day is finally here, Sophie is thrilled to cement Aaron into the family she has built with Kathie, and can’t wait to recreate the dance parties they had when they were younger with their families in the future. She is so honored to be a part of this beautiful day, and is so lucky that her future family will forever have Aunt Kathie and Uncle Aaron in their lives!
Aiden Bourke
Groomsman
Aiden met Aaron in the first grade, and they quickly became inseparable, playing various sports together and hanging out all the time. Over the past 19 years, Aiden and Aaron have maintained their copper-fastened friendship, often reminiscing about their bonfires, playing games, and driving around their hometown of Nantucket. Aiden is thrilled to be a part of Aaron's big day, celebrating the next chapter of his best friend's life!
George Mavrookas
Groomsman
George met Aaron in college while both attending Lynn University. Their friendship began through mutual friends and grew stronger when Aaron joined the Alpha Phi Delta fraternity. Aaron ended up being in George’s fraternity family tree becoming his grand little. Aaron sometimes calls George “Grandpa” which is a little inside joke between them. It is such an honor for George to be a part of both Aaron’s and Kathie’s big day. Not only will George be standing next to Aaron as a groomsman but as a fraternity brother, too. And to include “grandpa” in such an amazing moment in Aaron’s life it goes to show being a fraternity brother truly does go beyond college. The two of them will call each other brothers for life. George is exited to watch Aaron take his steps into the next chapter in his life with Kathie, and wishes them nothing but the best!
Jackson Aquino
Groomsman
The first time Jackson met Aaron, the two were just young college boys. Jackson, Aaron and a few others spent many long nights telling stories and laughing, knowing these nights would happen for years to come. Those nights evolved into double dates at brunch. At some point amongst those stories Jackson and Aaron would talk about being in love, not with each other but certainly Aaron with Kathie. Jackson knew this day would come, watching two people grow with each other. Aaron and Jackson aren’t college boys any more, they’re men living their best lives and Jackson couldn’t be more proud of Aaron and of Kathie in this amazing moment!
Joshua Atmodimedjo
Groomsman
Joshua met Aaron at Lynn University, where their paths crossed on campus through mutual friends. The night they met, they instantly bonded and became fast friends. Their friendship deepened when Aaron joined Alpha Phi Delta, the same fraternity as Joshua further solidifying their bond as friends and brothers. The moment Joshua noticed that Aaron and Kathie were bound to share their lives in eternity was when he observed how different the two were regarding their views of the world, yet they still found understanding and love in each other. This unique bond convinced Joshua that they were meant to be together. As a groomsman, Joshua is honored to stand by Aaron's side on this special day, celebrating the love and commitment between Aaron and Kathie. He is thrilled to witness the beginning of their beautiful journey together!
Luke Tapanes
Groomsman
Aaron and Luke first met in college at Jackson Aquino’s apartment. Small talk bloomed into fruitful conversations and the friendship was born. Aaron had expressed interest in joining the fraternity that Luke and a few other mutual friends are members of, and officially rushed the following semester. Aaron and Luke’s friendship grew even more when they began working and learning a sales job together. As Aaron and Luke would sit in the hot Florida sun, Aaron would always talk about Kathie and show Luke the nicely packed meals that she would prepare for him every day. It was very obvious at the time that Aaron and Kathie were meant to be together. Luke knew that their wedding day would come and is honored to be a part of the celebration!
Ryan Graf
Groomsman
When Ryan met Aaron it was Aaron's first day at Landmark. Aaron came in as a transfer student mid year. Ryan was walking towards his normal lunch spot when he saw Aaron. Ryan turned to his friend and said “Why’s a teacher sitting in our spot?” Ryan was then informed that the fully bearded individual was actually a new student. Ryan is still convinced Aaron has had the beard since birth. Ryan got to know Aaron as they ended up living in the same dorm in high school and then became roommates in college where Ryan also met Kathie. Kathie practically became an additional roommate after she and Aaron started dating. They all went on many adventures around Southern Florida together in Kathie's Chevy Volt. Aaron, Kathie and Ryan still kick it together during summers on Nantucket!
Isla Visco
Flower Girl
Daughter of Jake and Tess Visco, Isla is the great grandchild Don and Phyllis Visco! Jake and Tess were so excited to have Aaron and Kathie ask them for Isla to be apart of this momentous occasion! When Aaron first met Isla, she was instantly infatuated with him, perhaps because he has the same facial hair as her dad. Isla then began bringing Aaron her food to share and it was clear that they had formed a connection. Kathie and Isla also quickly bonded putting on Kathie's chapstick all over their faces. Kathie and Aaron cannot wait to see Isla coming down the aisle!
Tatum Greenip
Ring Bearer
Son of Jeffrey and Michelle Greenip, Kathie met Tatum when he was barely 2 years old! She nannied for him both in Florida and Nantucket, with Aaron occasionally helping build toys, play with cars and more! Kathie has gotten to experience so much of Nantucket with the Greenip's and she and Aaron cannot wait for them to be apart of their special day!
