Tori & Jackson
Wedding Party
Korey Pow
Maid of Honor
Korey & Tori (the Super Ories) have been best friends since Elementary School, where they met on the way to gymnastics. They solidified their friendship in Mr. Steere's class. Those days consisted of lots of sleepovers, makeovers, movie nights, Sims, MASH and late nights talking. Fast forward to High School and you’ll find Summers full of beach days, shopping, sleepovers, dances, dinners, campfires, double dates, and more late nights chatting. The UMaine days were full of Bog Walks, Bagel Central, late nights out, Thai food, Apple Store visits, some gym days....and studying, lots of studying! Seeing Korey in her relationship and now married life with Joe is such a blessing. Along with Liam, the three of them bring the light, laughter and party to any event. It has been a busy year for them with their wedding, but they still find the time for lots of yard work, quality family time, and activities with their pups Finn (Yellow Lab AKA Golden Retriever) & Mia (Chocolate Lab). The friendship Korey has provided throughout the years has been amazing. Korey will tell it like it is- ex: If you tell a really bad dad joke, you will know. She is honest, funny, kind, positive, thoughtful, and driven. If you haven’t met Korey, you are missing out!
Nick Jesiolowski
Best Man
Nick and Jackson's friendship dates back to middle school, virtually and in person. There were many nights of meeting online for Halo and Call of Duty as well as pool parties and weight lifting for football. Perhaps the cornerstone of their relationship was Jackson's late feline, Magnolia Blossum who sadly left us in March of 2020. The mutual connection that Nick and Jackson had with that cat was unmatched and is still talked about to this day. Nowadays Nick and Jackson enjoy getting together for weekend bro-fests where drinks are bottomless and laughter is a plenty. Nick and Jackson furthered their friendship into their college years as roommates. Frequently visiting the local pub for live music and pool. Two trips to Las Vegas cemented fond memories in their friendship. Nick has a deep passion for his close friends, music, and sports. His beloved Chicago Bears have often let him down but he never gives up on them. He has created a plethora of musical content with many of his friends including one of the groomsmen, Will Manning. Nick is one of the biggest family guys you will meet and has a great relationship with his parents and siblings.
Olivia Greer
Bridesmaid
Friends since before birth, Olivia has been Tori's lifelong sidekick. They have tons of memories including: countless hours of gymnastics practices, pool days, rope swings, Florida trips, College visits, dress up, photoshoots, 4-wheeling, horseback riding, more gymnastics, and now "adulting"! Olivia, AKA: Bong Bong, OG, Livy, Liv, Twin Tower; has a super impressive work ethic, kind heart, and fun love for adventure. Her adorable family consisting of her boyfriend Elliott, pup Maisie, and cat Corbin spend time outdoors, with family, and working up North. If you’re looking for active and fun people, these are your people! OG is actually a local to York, and her family has lots of history on the beautiful town. If you have any questions about York, she is your girl! She introduced Tori to the Wiggly Bridge, Long Sands, Nubble Lighthouse, and Green Leaves Chinese Food. Speaking of food, Olivia also introduced Tori to eggs in your Ramen, sugar cubes (the ones horses eat), and butter as an appetizer. She has also tried to teach Tori tennis, ping pong, and skiing: so far, to no avail. Tori & Olivia have truly been through all the highs and lows of life together. Olivia has been a rock through and through. Tori is so grateful to have Olivia back in her Maine stomping grounds to celebrate!
Will Manning
Groomsman
Will and Jackson's relationship has developed over the years like a fine scotch. Though they were never very close in high school, newly found chemistry was established later on and the bond continues to strengthen. As memories accrue, Will and Jackson have developed a unique interest in eachothers' crafts; Will is a well seasoned guitar veteran who frequently plays live sets in Austin, TX, while Jackson has a deep passion for cooking. Through the years each have shared late nights by the fire singing songs of joy and enjoying their favorite bourbons. Many memories have been created between the two at Will's camp, his apartment in Texas and an adventure out to Las Vegas. Will has been the calm in the storm for Jackson when the heat is on. Will himself is a music connoisseur and has a deep love for the guitar. His talent derives from the greats such as Tommy Emmanuel, Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer and more. Will is a simple man to please; give him a steak cooked rare and a glass of whiskey and he is happy. Will has always been seen as the hippy of the group and goes whichever way the tide takes him. He can be seen fishing in a boat, napping in a hammock, or even drunk on the floor. Wherever you find Mr. Manning, you can guarantee it is going to be a good time.
Julie Panciocco
Bridesmaid
Originally from the Olive Garden college days, Julie has been a consistent friend of Tori's ever since. Unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks were aplenty, accompanied by unlimited friendship. Julie had Tori as a bridesmaid in her wedding as well, where she caught the bouquet (she was not the first to get married for the record.) Tori visited Charlotte, NC a couple of times to visit Julie & Anthony at their new stomping grounds post-college & wedding, where they tried lots of good eats, fun bars, and took in the energy Charlotte has to offer. Thankfully, Julie is back within driving distance and raising her beautiful family with her husband Anthony in their new Home. Together they created the cutest human, Teddy, and have a super good boy Nomar. If you ever need a smile or joking banter, Julie is your gal. Her positivity day in and day out is contagious. It’s amazing to see that carry through with her Mom duties. You can find Julie being #momgoals, crushing it at work, enjoying lots of time with family and friends, and introducing Teddy to breweries and eateries with good company. Julie is a very true and loyal friend who wants the best for everyone in her life.
Logan Lafayette
Groomsman
Logan and Jackson's friendship dates all the way back to Kindergarten. When they first met they both shared a passion for skateboarding to which they both figured out, was not their forte. Logan and Jackson grew up playing football together and often went to Maine Blackbear football games. As the years progressed, their friendship was always with in a hands reach. Though there may have been times when Logan and Jackson didn't see each other frequently, whenever they were back together it were as if they never had been apart. Logan and Jackson enjoy skiing with each other and playing pick up basketball. His depth of knowledge in the sports world is unmatched and always makes for unique conversation when hanging out.

Bridesmaid
Another Olive Garden College friend. You know what they say, "When you're here, you're family!" Cassie, her husband Logan, and two Bernese Mountain Dogs: Hagrid and Gimli live in Northern Maine and have stayed close friends throughout the years. Cassie is someone who can befriend absolutely anyone all while "hating everyone!" If you need a smile or a killer convo, find Cassie. Cassie & Logan make a power couple, with Cassie being a Nurse and Logan being a Fire Chief; chaos is their comfort zone. I haven’t met someone who works harder than Cassie. When she sets her mind to something, it happens. She goes out of her way for her loved ones and soaks up time with friends whenever she gets the chance. She lights up the rooms she enters with her energy and is a positive force in her friends’ lives. Cassie is there whenever you need her, and Tori is so grateful to celebrate with her!

Tim and Jackson have known each other since middle school and had an instant connection when they first met.

Tim has always been the friend in the group that you can't help but smile when you see or even think about him.
