Bailee & Matthew
Wedding Party
Julia Lewis
Maid of Honor
Bailee and Julia were on a cheer team together in middle school through high school. They bonded in Mr. Davy's math class in high school. Photo editing, nail art, a combined sweet sixteen (Club Zebra, yikes), getting lost on nighttime hikes, and pretending to be sisters sum up their 10 year friendship. They lived together with practically a zoo of three rabbits and two dogs before Bailee and Matt moved to Georgia.
Thomas Beazley
Best Man
Thomas is Matt's younger brother. While assumed to be just an annoyance when he was younger, he has grown into an amazing human being. He managed to take care of both his older siblings after many late night parties and will be expected to reprise that role here.
James Ayad
Man of Honor
Bailee and James were on the same cheer team and in Marching Band together in high school. James would drag Bailee out of the house to go to the gym, to get Korean BBQ or Boba, or just for fun no matter how much she wanted to stay home. They've been besties ever since and James has always been there for Bailee even when she didn't ask him to be. We can always count on James for a good laugh and some tough love.
Megan Beazley
Best Woman
Megan is Matt's older sister. She has always been looking out for her younger siblings and will be keeping an eye on things as it gets closer to the wedding day. We are excited to have her enthusiasm with us on the day. Despite it not being related to fish.
Francesca Popkin
Bridesmaid
Francesca is Bailee's younger sister. She is an awesomely nerdy and feisty 13 year old who Bailee absolutely adores. She is a constant light in Bailee's life and both Bailee and Matt miss her being all the way out in Georgia.
Sam Couturier
Groomsman
Sam is one of Matt's oldest friends. He and Matt were roommates for a long while after Matt left school and were on the Cheer LA team together. Sam has guided Matt through many difficult times in his life and has helped Matt not be an idiot on many occasions (or let him be an idiot because it was funny).
Emma Speidel
Bridesmaid
Bailee and Emma met when she and her husband Jack moved to Atlanta. While Matt and Jack had been family friends for a long time, Bailee and Emma became fast friends bonding over game nights and complaining about how much their partners talked about insurance. Emma is a quick-witted and loving friend that we are honored to have in our lives.
Jack Speidel
Groomsman
Jack and Matt have known each other since his older sister and Matt were in the same preschool class. Now Jack has recently joined Matt and Bailee in Atlanta, deepening the friendship. Having just got married himself he is expected to have everything figured out by the time this wedding rolls around.
Quinton Lopez
Bridesman
Bailee and Quinton were on the same cheer team in high school. Bailee likes to take credit for Quinton's amazing cheer skills because she trained him his freshman year of high school about 7 years ago, even though he has absolutely surpassed her cheerleading skills since. Quinton is an effervescent personality full of light, joy, and wisdom.
Marcelino Valencap
Groomsman
Marcelino and Matt met on the Glendale cheerleading team in 2012. He and his husband Edwin have been a constant guide for what love should honestly look like. He has proven himself a great leader as Captain of the Cheer LA cheer team. As long as he stays away from the open bar.
Rachel Bereny
Bridesmaid
Bailee and Rachel met while working at Cali Camp Summer Day Camp about 6 years ago. They lived together with Julia in Los Angeles before Matt and Bailee moved to Georgia. Rachel was the grandma of the house, and is the sweetest person you will ever meet.
Stephen Ray
Groomsman
Stephen and Matt have known each other since high school. Lots of late nights partying or playing games. Stephen would be the DM for late night DND sessions in which he watched as the rest of the group attempt to thwart his effort to tell a story. We are excited to rent him from his girlfriend out in Washington.
