Rachel & Evan
Wedding Party
Evan Giamundo
Groom
If you’re on this page, we certainly hope you know Evan is the groom!
Rachel Wagster
Bride
We also hope you know that Rachel is the bride!
Danielle Giamundo
Mother of the Groom
Although Danielle’s “official” title is mother of the groom, both Evan and Rachel feel lucky to call her Mom. Danielle’s guidance over the years has helped Evan and Rachel become their best selves, together and individually. Danielle is the epitome of selflessness, patience, and kindness. If you see her at the wedding: ask her to dance or get her a drink, it’s a party after all!
Steve Giamundo
Father of the Groom
Steve (or Stove as the bride likes to call him) is one of a kind. His generosity is only rivaled by his humor and sarcasm. Steve has been the advice giver and support for Evan and Rachel over the years. The bride and groom would not be here today without him! If you see him at the wedding: ask him if he prefers the party in person or in his Virtual Reality headset
Dan Wagster
Father of the Bride
Dan has been an important part of Evan and Rachel's lives since early on in their relationship. Rachel's dad has always been her best friend, which makes the relationship they have with Dan all the more special. With recently having moved Colorado, that has only allowed that closeness to grow. He also has a newfound love for their dog, George. If you see him at the wedding: ask him about his favorite part of living in Colorado!
Lauren McCormick
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Rachel became best friends in high school and have lasted through each transition of life together. Rachel considers Lauren to be one of her best friends, sister, and can count on her through all of life’s ups and downs! Lauren is also first person Rachel goes to for a good laugh. If you see her at the wedding: ask her to tell you a dad joke!
Montana Hatlen
Bridesmaid
Montana and Rachel met in graduate school. Montana quickly became a friend and a crucial part of Rachels ability for success as a counselor. Rachel relies on Montana for advice about everything- as she always has the answer. Rachel feels she would be lost without Montana’s guidance. If you see her at the wedding: ask her about literally anything and she will probably have the answer. Or about her adorable golden retriever, Cooper
Maureen Costello
Bridesmaid
Maureen and Rachel also met in graduate school. They did internship together and even work together at the same high school currently. Rachel considers Maureen to be her rock. Anytime she needs a listening ear or validating perspective, she goes to Maureen If you see her at the wedding: ask her if she’ll be going for the bouquet during the toss… she has a record to uphold!
Kira Morales
Bridesmaid
Rachel met Kira at Colorado Mesa University orientation in Grand Junction, CO. They were college roommates for 2 years where they constantly traveled the state catching live music shows. Throughout the years, Kira has always been there for Rachel. She always shows up with compassion and understanding and no judgment. Rachel is lucky to have a friend like her! If you see her at the wedding: ask her about a memory of the bride (she has a lot of embarrassing and heartfelt ones)
Eileen Fang
Bridesmaid
Eileen and Rachel have known each other since 8th grade. They were college roommates until Rachel moved to Colorado in 2012. Rachel considers Eileen to be one of her closest friends, soul sister, confidant, and advice givers. She thinks the world of Eileen, and loves knowing her through so many of life's chapters. If you see her at the wedding: ask her to quote Zoolander (she knows all the lines)
Katie Sellinghausen
Bridesmaid
Katie and Rachel met because of Evan and Ryan (see below). They instantly clicked. Katie has been one of Rachel’s biggest supports over the years and vice versa! Rachel goes to Katie anytime she needs someone to listen or grab a drink with. Katie is truly a one of a kind, amazing friend! If you see her at the wedding: ask her about how to make incredible DIY crafts and the key to a perfect charcuterie board!
Nathan Giamundo
Best Man
Nathan is more than a brother to Evan, he is a best friend. If you have ever spent time with the two guys together, you know it is non stop giggles. In addition, Rachel could not be more excited to add Nate as the third brother in her life! If you see him at the wedding: Ask him about what he couldn't include in the best man speech
Ethan Drouin
Officiant
When thinking of who might officiate the wedding, Ethan was the first thought for both Evan and Rachel. Ethan and Evan met in college at the University of New England and went through the Occupational Therapy Master's program together. Ethan quickly became Evan's second brother, and they even lived together for a couple years. Evan had the honor of being the Best Man in Ethan's wedding in 2017. If you see him at the wedding: Ask him about the first time he met Evan or Rachel (both hilarious stories).
Fred Randall
Groomsman
Fred and Evan also met at the University of New England. Fred was siblings with Pat, who lived in Evan's dorm. If you ask either of them, they were not fast friends, and did not like each other when first meeting. Over time, the two grew on each other and eventually became friends who still talk constantly despite living over 2000 miles apart. If you see him at the wedding: Ask him about his interesting work as a funeral professional!
Patrick Randall
Groomsman
Pat and Evan also met at the University of New England (are you seeing the pattern here?). Pat and Evan lived in those UNE dorms together. Pat has stayed in Maine, and Evan moved to Colorado. Pat is the type of friend who doesn't need to call you every day, but would drop anything to be there for you. If you see him at the wedding: Ask him how many degrees he has.
Sullivan Gardner
Groomsman
Sully and Evan grew up together in Woodstock, CT after the Giamundo's moved there in 2005. Sully is actually Nate's age, but Evan and Sully always had a close friendship. Sully wins the award for most times to visit Evan and Rachel in Colorado, and the groom and bride feel so grateful whenever he's around. If you see him at the wedding: ask him to share his one man show about the rise and fall of Blockbuster video.
Tim Devine
Groomsman
Tim and Evan also met at the University of New England (yes, the pattern continues!). Tim and Evan were roommates and also endured the OT master's program in Portland, Maine. Tim was always the first person to make someone laugh in their friend group, and that still rings true today. If you see him at the wedding: ask Tim how tall he is!
Ryan Sellinghausen
Groomsman
Ryan and Evan met in Denver through a mutual friend. Ryan was dating Katie at the time (see bridesmaid) and soon after they met, Evan began to date Rachel. Ryan and Evan went from friends who went to bars together to friends who eat Chinese food at home on a Friday and watch movies as a couple date night during quarantine. Ryan and Evan have hilarious banter that make anytime they're together something to laugh about. If you see him at the wedding: ask him to design your dream home (he's an architect that does not design houses).
