According to a church official, Katie Gaudreau and Devin Joyce’s wedding has been canceled as a result of the tragedy.
Johnny Gaudreau, an NHL great, and his younger brother, Matthew, died just hours before their sister was to marry.
Katie Gaudreau and Devin Joyce were set to marry on Friday at 1:45 p.m. in a ceremony at a New Jersey church. According to Katie’s Instagram page, the pair had rehearsed the event on Thursday night, shortly before the Gaudreau brothers were tragically killed.
Katie and Devin’s registration listed Johnny and Matthew as groomsmen. Johnny’s children were designated as the bridal flower girl and ring bearer. Johnny’s wife and other sister, meanwhile, were designated as maids of honor.
It’s unclear whether the wedding has been postponed; we’ve called out to church officials for information, but have yet to hear back.
