Wedding Party
Griffin Pickett
Officiant
Hey everyone, I’m Griffin. Much like my sister, I’ve also known Anna since the day I was born, and was introduced to Matt in the early kindling of his and Anna’s relationship. It has been wonderful watching their love blossom and grow, and I couldn’t be more excited to officiate the ceremony of their union. Until then, I can usually be found taking a hike, reading a book, or roving around on a bike—a triumvirate necessary for all developing officiants. I’ll see you all on the wedding day, and congratulations once again to Anna and Matt on this monumental step in their life together!
Riley Pickett
Maid of Honor
Hi, I’m Riley! I’m one of Anna’s best friends and her Maid of Honor! I am currently in Physician Assistant school, and am happily on my way to becoming a PA-C. In my free time, I love spending time with friends and family, cuddling up with my dog, reading a good book, or baking sweets for my loved ones. I have known Anna since the day I was born, and am so lucky to have watched her grow over our 26+ years of friendship. She is truly my best friend and the sister I never had! I couldn’t have asked for a better man for her than Matt. He has become one of my best friends, too, and I am so thankful that he is Anna’s soulmate. Matt and Anna’s love is so pure, and it has been an honor to be a firsthand witness of how special the journey of true love is. I cannot wait to celebrate them Bo(a)th with you all!
Ryan McCarthy
Best Man
Hi! I’m Ryan — a travel agent, avid bowler, and die-hard sports fan. Anna and I first bonded while surviving the chaos of our old job, and through her, I met Matt. It wasn’t long before we were hitting the bowling lanes together — sometimes as teammates, sometimes as rivals — and always having a blast (usually at Anna’s expense)! Over the years, Matt and Anna have become two of the most important people in my life. I’m incredibly grateful for their friendship and couldn’t be happier to see them taking this next step together.
Brianna Donius
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Brie, Anna’s cousin. I’ve had the privilege of growing up with Anna, and from childhood to now, we’ve shared countless memories that have shaped who we are. As close as siblings, we’ve been with each other through many of life’s moments and I’m beyond excited to watch her share her life with someone as perfect for her as Matt. When I’m not dabbling in photography, I’m usually baking sourdough, riding horses or more importantly - being a mom to my two boys. Watching Anna become an aunt has been incredible. The love, care and attention she gives while with them is so special to see and Matt has stepped seamlessly into being an Uncle. Knowing Anna alone, she’s great. But knowing Matt and Anna together as a couple is to know softness, patience and true love. I couldn’t be happier for them and this next chapter!
James Gough
Groomsman
Hi everyone! I’m James, one of Matt and Anna’s close friends. I work as a pharmacy technician at Walgreens, and in my free time, I love hanging out with friends and family, bowling, watching football, and listening to music. I’ve known Matt and Anna for about two years now. We first met during a casual night of bowling, and since then, we’ve built a friendship that means the world to me. To me, they’re more than friends — they’re family. Matt has been by my side through thick and thin, and Anna has become just as important. Whether it’s the fun weekends, constant laughter, or just knowing they’re always there — I couldn’t ask for better people in my life. If Matt isn’t around, I know I can count on Anna, and vice versa. I’m truly honored to celebrate this special day with them, and with all of you.
Halley Shambra
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Halley, one of Anna’s best friends and college roommate. Currently, I’m a Special Education teacher and an Aquatics Manager. I’ve known Anna since Freshman year of college and have loved laughing with her all these years. Some interests of mine are photography, music and movies! I am over the moon for Anna and Matt-as someone who’s witnessed their love story from the very first page, I’m excited to see the many chapters of their love story unfold.
Cassidy Boath
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Cass, the sister of the groom! My favorite thing has been watching the two of you grow together, love and support each other over these many years. As an older sister, I couldn’t be happier to see Matt with someone who makes him smile and laugh wholeheartedly. I truly believe that they’re meant for each other. We’ve had so many great memories together already, (among my favorites are our double dates at Texas Roadhouse! ) so it’s easy for me to say that I’ve thought of Anna as a member of our family for quite some time. I love you guys more than words and I can’t wait to celebrate the big day!
Jack Bator
Groomsman
Hi I’m Jack, one of Matt’s groomsmen and Cass’ boyfriend. Matt and I hit it off from day one, even becoming every day gym buddies for a while. Loving the Red Sox is something that Anna and I have in common and are sure to bring up as a topic of conversation at the Boath house. We have had so many awesome times with Matt and Anna and I can’t wait to make more memories. Needless to say, I couldn’t be happier to be celebrating with you both!
