Spencer Sweet

Spencer is the oldest of the 4 Sweet children and the only brother to Matthew. While the 1st born and the baby of the family might not have always got along while growing up, when it came down to it, a brothers love is a brothers love. They both share a passion for USC football, LA Dodgers baseball, the outdoors and spending as much time at Wood Lake as possible.
Cole Money
Groomsman
Cole and Matt met while attending UW-Stout. Through backyard college bonfires, questionable Halloween costumes and checking out the nearest dive bar, their personalities and willingness to be up for impromptu adventures made them close friends and has created many memorable moments.
Drew Scullin
Groomsman
Andrew Scullin, from here on out known as Drew, attended Watertown High School and UW-Stout with Matthew. Their friendship really grew during college after being roommates for a year and both moving to the same apartment building in St. Paul, MN after graduation. Together they would explore the Twin Cities craft breweries, skateboard and even cliff jump in St. Cloud. Definition of a Brother from another Mother. 1
Steven Nickell
Groomsman
Steve attended UW-Stout as well however he and Matt never crossed paths while there. It wasn't until Bethany invited Matt to a friends wedding that they were introduced and started to become friends. And whether it's watching motocross in the desert in Las Vegas or during a snow storm in Minneapolis, to drinking wine while paddling the canoes across the boundary waters, a good time is to be had by all. And as "Stevie Longarms", he is your go to guy for the perfect group selfie.
Jake Chandler
Groomsman
Jake and Matt were also introduced at the same wedding as Steve. Since then it is always an adventure when Jake gets involved. From snowboarding trips on the north shore of Lake Superior, annual bike pub crawls, MN United FC games and spearing fish on Woman Lake, you never know what fun adventure might turn up next. Most likely that adventure will be had on a bicycle.
