Wedding Party
Flynn Ortiz
Man of Honor
Samantha's younger brother has always been attached to Samantha's hip growing up so it was no surprise that he made the BIG seat of Man of Honor. Growing up Flynn and Samantha shared so many laughs and tears throughout the years, it wouldn't be the same without him by Samantha's side on her biggest day. Flynn is one of Samantha's main supports on the big day and should have many answers to people's questions! Flynn is a very goofy; sarcastic; and talented. If you see him on the day ask him some of his favorite memories with Samantha OR James! Flynn is most excited to see all the decorations to come together , and to see Samantha and James be so happy in their moment.
Travis Campbell
Best Man
Travis is James' work husband; Travis and his beautiful wife Alex moved from Florida to Plymouth in 2022, and since their move they have held a special place in James and Samantha's hearts. Such sweet and refreshingly goofy souls. Please do not be afraid to share a smile and some warm thoughts with them! Travis is a very thoughtful; kind-hearted; gentle; and funny. With all that as well as his Pokemon and DnD passions, he's perfect for James! Alex and Samantha agree to share the boys - But they didn't really have a choice with how much the two boys love each other. Travis and his wife Alex are most excited to see how surrounded the couple are in love, with not just each other but with the friends and family around them too.
Emma Lakin
Bridesmaid
Emma has always been more than a cousin to Samantha. Their bond is like sisters even with the long distance between each other. Their visits always full of laughter ; singing; venting; and of course some really good naps in. The first week in August is always the best part of summer. And of course saying goodbye was the hardest when Emma would go back to Montana ( where they walk their pigs on a leash ). Emma is strong; independent; and a goofball. You will find her by the bar or on the dance floor shaking her booty and making sure everyone is enjoying the party. Emma is most excited to see Samantha all dressed up in her gown.
Thomas Guarnieri
Groomsman
Not only is Tom a groomsman in James' party, but he is also the Father of the Groom as well. Tom holds such a special place in James' heart and with the mighty bond they have it was only fitting for Tom to have a double title on the special day. Tom has always been so open-hearted and supportive of all his loved ones. Tom is one of the smartest; most loving; and most respectful people in James and Samantha's lives. Feel free to ask him his favorite memory of James and maybe a Trivia fact if you care to learn any fun facts that day! Tom is most excited to see the couple get the wedding he feels they deserve , and to see the two happy together.
Andy Ortiz
Father of the Bride
Andy will be the shiniest man there. Either from his beautiful head ; his award winning smile; or is eccentric personality he will be sure to light up the room. Andy has been there for Samantha since the beginning, No matter how many times they butt heads they always find a way to love one another unconditionally. Through the years their bond grows in the most beautifully unique way. Samantha admits she wouldn't be who she is without the man. He may be a teary mess the day off but please go up and ask him his favorite memories with is daughter Samantha. You will mostly find him enjoying himself on the dance floor with his beautiful wife Belinda. Andy is most excited to walk his daughter down, even if he my be a big shiny mess.
Wendi Adams
Mother of the Groom
Wendi is a sweet, beautiful, and resilient woman. Wendi is one of our most social butterflies in our group, she is not shy to talk to anyone. We invite you to share a laugh with her and ask her her favorite memory of her and James. Wendi and James share the same Ed Sheeran love, although Wendi is most definitely more of the super fan out of the two of them. Living close to Wendi for the first time in James' life is one of the main reasons James has stayed planted in New Hampshire. Their bond is definitely something to cherish. You will find Wendi mostly by the sweets and adoring her family. Wendi is most excited to see her "Baby boy's face as he married the love of his life."
Donna Lakin
Mother of the Bride
Donna is the honorable Nonnie filling in as Samantha's Mother. Donna and Samantha have such a beautiful bond. Holding space for two roles just means the most love for them both.

Donna is most excited to see Samantha all dressed up for the day.
