Wedding Party

Jess Molson
Jess Molson - Maid of Honor
Jess (left) is Tara's older sister. She is mother to the cutest baby ever. She lives in Boston but loves New York sports teams (yikes!). Jess is passionate about sushi and dumplings. Offer her either of those and you will be instant friends!
Corinne Molson
Corinne Molson - Maid of Honor
Corinne is Tara's younger sister. She just moved to Dallas- yeehaw! Most people don't know this, but Corinne was a competitive snowman builder until the incident of 2009 when she was disqualified for taking a bite out of a competitor's snowman's carrot nose. Please don't bring it up.
Jenna Donahue
Jenna Donahue - Bridesmaid
Jenna has been Tara's bestie since diapers. Our families have lived next door to each other for 29 years! Jenna lives in Austin, Texas and is getting married this year as well. Offer this girl a shot of Captain Morgan and she may just become your bestie too!
Kaajal Shah
Kaajal Shah - Bridesmaid
Kaajal is Tara's best friend from high school. She lives in New York City and her life is basically Gossip Girl. We met on Kaajal's first day of school in Avon and have been best buds ever since! We share a love for emo music, Harry Potter, and each other!
Casey Gross
Casey Gross - Bridesmaid
Casey was Tara's roommate in college for two years and Chicago partner in crime for many more years. She loves Taylor Swift, good pizza, and long walks (like 12 mile long walks). Casey knows everything about sports and you should definitely ask her for help with your fantasy football team.
Maureen Gavin
Maureen Gavin - Bridesmaid
Maureen is Tara's college friend. She is from Long Island and now works in NY as a speech pathologist. Maureen and Tara share a love for good iced coffee, bagels, and basically anything else that is quintessentially East Coast. Maureen loves old movies and has probably seen all of your faves!
Patrick Garvey
Patrick Garvey - Best Man
Patrick and Brandon have known each other since Brandon was born. One of his favorite uncles has now turned into one of his best friends so it was a no-brainer asking him to be his Best Man. He's one of the funniest people, and lights up the room with his humor. He is a proud past contestant on the Price is Right (ask him about his final bid in the Showcase,) and Wheel of Fortune. Patrick and Brandon now share a lot of the same friends and will be cracking up together for the rest of their lives.
Colton Mitz
Colton Mitz - Groomsman
Colton was always the little cousin/brother growing up being 10 years younger than Brandon. He's now in his mid 20s and is just one of the guys. He's a hoot to be around. Always a lot of laughs. Super witty, big Formula 1 guy. Most recently, his girlfriend had to cut him off from eating Korean BBQ too many times a week.
Brendan Gaines
Brendan Gaines - Groomsman
Brendan and Brandon have known each other since elementary school. After the Navy, Brandon moved in with Brendan in Los Angeles and had a hashtag on Instagram #BrendanAndBrandonDoLA. We're in 47 different group texts together, and Brandon comes to Brendan for a lot of advice and good life talks. One of the smartest people we know, and knows everything about movies and tv shows. His favorites being the show LOST and the movie True Lies. He also has a handwritten piece of binder paper starting in 2002 that he adds to every time he laughs so hard, he cries.
PJ Cagnina
PJ Cagnina - Groomsman
Brandon being an only child, his cousins and him are very close. Essentially his siblings. The oldest cousin being PJ. He's been an older brother to Brandon from the beginning which came with beatings as well as life lessons. Pj also has a great sense of humor, owns his own restaurant in San Diego, and will most definitely be a hit at the wedding. Rule of thumb with this one- If Pj is around..It's gonna be a good time.
Brian Cagnina
Brian Cagnina - Groomsman
Brandon and his cousin Bri grew up together. Same high school and same college. Along with being a brother, they are also really tight. Brian gives the best Christmas gifts, especially if you're into Chia pets and world atlases. He's getting much better at golf and is on track to breaking 90. Despite him telling you he shot an 85 when he was alone.. Bri will be the first on the dance floor and last to leave. Guy has moves...
Billy Warring
Billy Warring - Groomsman
Billy is another close friend and has been there since middle school. A ton of hilarious memories with this one. Billy was very competitive growing up especially in Mario Kart and NFL Street. Seriously..It caused some riffs in our friendship to the point where he wont let his own kids play those games.. Also, our Best Man used to babysit him. Full circle here. Billy is a stand up dude, couldn't imagine getting married without him by our side.
Zoey Wolner
Zoey Wolner - Flower Girl
Zoey (seen here picking up the tab at Cheesecake Factory) is an incredible baby. She loves her parents, Jess and Mike, and also loves eggs. This girl can eat like Joey Chesnut on the 4th of July, it's really astounding. She's a great dancer too- what a shame that dancing will start after her bed time! Maybe we'll let her stay up... This will start the tradition of Aunt T and Uncle Brandon spoiling her by always letting her stay up past her bedtime- oopsies!
