Wedding Party
Denise Gokey
Mother of the Groom
The mother of the groom is a true mama bear whose love knows no bounds. Her fierce devotion to her children, both two-legged and four-pawed, radiates in everything she does. She nourishes not only with her incredible cooking, but with her warmth, attentiveness, and generosity that make every gathering feel like home. Her creativity brings joy to the smallest details, and her presence is a steady, loving force that lifts everyone around her. Today, as she watches her son begin a new chapter, her heart is full — and so are ours, with gratitude for the remarkable woman she is.
Gary Gokey
Father of the Groom
The father of the groom is a man of quiet strength and unwavering dedication. His hard work is the backbone of his family, carried out with humility and resolve. Though he may not speak often, when he does, his words are laced with humor that catches you off guard and leaves you smiling. He’s the kind of man who finds joy in the roar of a NASCAR engine, the thrill of a Patriots touchdown, or the intensity of a Bruins game — yet his greatest pride is in the life he’s built and the son he’s raised. Stoic, bold, and kind, he is a steady presence and a deeply loved figure in this celebration.
Dale Soucy
Father of the Bride
He’s been there from the very beginning—quietly steady, endlessly kind, and always ready to listen. Dale is the kind of dad who shows up with open arms and an open heart, supporting Alicia through every decision, dream, and detour. Whether offering wisdom, encouragement, or just the comfort of knowing he’s in her corner, he’s been her biggest cheerleader every step of the way. Today, he walks with her into this new chapter—not just as Father of the Bride, but as a lifelong source of love and strength.
Donna White
Grandmother of the Groom
The grandmother of the groom is a woman whose spirit is as vibrant as the life she’s built. A devoted entrepreneur now enjoying a well‑earned retirement, Donna pours her energy into the things she loves most, whether she’s proudly showing off Sinatra and Peter at the Big E or crafting unforgettable Disney adventures that turn every family trip into pure magic. Her charisma lights up every room, her honesty grounds those around her, and her warmth makes everyone feel like family.
Thomas Langdale
Best Man
To the best man — Thomas is the matchmaker who didn’t just witness our love story but quite literally kicked it into motion. From that first introduction to every cheer, pep talk, and perfectly timed joke since, he’s been our behind‑the‑scenes hype man and emotional GPS. Protective and perceptive with a talent for dropping truth bombs at exactly the right moment, he’s woven into the very foundation of this relationship. He’s Mark’s partner‑in‑crime for every comic con and photography adventure, and once upon a time, he doubled as Alicia’s unofficial bodyguard during late‑night shoots around Boston. If loyalty, humor, and heart had a mascot, it would be Thomas — and we’re pretty sure he’d still show up wearing a camera strap.
Dina Henne
Matron of Honor
This matron of honor is the ultimate ride‑or‑die who has navigated every high, low, and “how did we end up here?” moment with unmatched style. Dina is the brutally honest voice we all secretly rely on, the free spirit who can turn a Tuesday afternoon into a core memory, and the creative genius behind countless unforgettable adventures. She’ll enthusiastically sign up for Rugged Maniac or Color Me Rad — all while loudly reminding everyone how much she hates running. Whether she’s dropping real talk, cueing up the perfect song, or whipping up a bakery‑level masterpiece just for fun, she brings heart, humor, and soul everywhere she goes.
Kristina Aponte
Matron of Honor
This matron of honor is the human embodiment of a standing ovation—our loudest cheerleader, kindest soul, and the one who’s been clapping for our love story since the opening scene. Kristina brings joy, grace, and a whole lot of sparkle to every moment, and we couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her by our side. Her love lifts everyone around her, and we’re endlessly grateful to have her heart woven into this day.
Kimberly Seymour
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid and sister of the groom is a woman whose heart is as expansive as the love she pours into her family. She’s found new joy in snuggling her sweet Stassi, giving her the same warmth and devotion that define her spirit. She loves quickly and deeply, with a kindness that softens every room and a courage that inspires those lucky enough to know her. Thoughtful, artistic, creative, and beautifully consistent, she brings a steady glow to this celebration and to every life she touches.
Michael Soucy
Groomsman
Meet the groomsman who proves that being a brother is an extreme sport — and Mike plays to win. He’s the guy who shows up to every gathering, drops a razor‑sharp one‑liner, and keeps everyone honest with his signature blend of sarcasm and heart. Sure, he had his protective‑brother doubts at first (as any self‑respecting sibling would), but once he saw the love was the real deal, he jumped in with full support and a perfectly timed meme. His bonding style is unmatched: sassy sibling memes for Alicia, SpongeBob masterpieces for Mark, and a side‑eye/hug combo for anyone who needs it. And now that he’s discovered hiking, he’s on a mission to conquer every peak in New England — one sarcastic trail commentary at a time.
Daniel Vasilew
Groomsman
Meet the groomsman who could practically qualify for frequent‑flyer miles in the wedding circuit. If there’s a bachelor party happening within a 200‑mile radius, odds are he’s already RSVP’d “yes” and is halfway there. A newer addition to the crew, Dan slid into the friend group right after Mark met Alicia, and he’s been leveling up the fun ever since. He’s the perfect sidekick for gaming conventions and comic cons, armed with nerdy enthusiasm, competitive gamer energy, and a readiness to hang out that borders on heroic. If weddings had boss battles, he’d be the one you’d want on your team.
Aaron Martin
Groomsman
Mark and Aaron have been inseparable since middle school — the kind of best buds who’ve survived awkward phases, questionable haircuts, and more inside jokes than anyone could ever keep track of. Aaron is the guy you want in your corner: loyal, supportive, and somehow always showing up exactly whenever you him, whether it’s for real help or just moral support and snacks. He’s got a smile that could brighten a power outage and a friendly energy that follows him everywhere he goes. If weddings handed out awards, he’d win “Most Likely to Make Everyone Feel Welcome” without even trying.
Hannah Seymour
Shot (Flower) Girl
If joy had a spokesperson, it’d be Hannah—Mark’s (and soon to be Alicia's) niece. She's the unofficial spark plug of every celebration. She’s the kind of radiant soul who lights up a room just by walking in, armed with a dazzling smile. Fun, fearless, and full of flair, Hannah doesn’t just bring the party—she is the party. Whether she’s hyping up the dance floor or rallying the crew for one more toast, her vibe is pure sunshine with a splash of tequila.
