In a Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony, they are the ones who 'crown' you or marry you, I believe in Catholic (italian) weddings the goumbari play a big part as well

its basically the orthodox version of best man and maid of honor. But they do a little more than a BM or MOH would do, just a little bit

Yes...in Italy they do not have a bridal party...it's just the 'testimone' (witness) like our best man and maid/matron of honor. They sign the marriage license along with the bride and groom and priest once the ceremony is finished.
They also have a flower girl and ring bearer.
