The Wedding of Catalina and Matthew
Wedding Party
Phillip
Best Man
Matt and Phillip were buddies at UCF, then moved to Chicago together as roommates when they were both accepted to IIT for Graduate School for engineering. Two crazy women brought them together, and although they might not be friends anymore - we sure are!
Tori
Maid of Honor
Tori and Catalina met freshman year of high school, and immediately hit it off! You'll never meet anyone as kind, welcoming, bubbly and genuine as Tori! Even though its been hard always living so far apart, when we reunite we end up losing our voices from how much we talk catching up!
Billy
Groomsman
Billy and Matt became friends freshman year of high school, then roommates in college at UCF, then lifelong friends and the biggest pain in the butt on my fantasy football team.
Mandie
Bridesmaid
Mandie and Catalina were roommates at Loyola University Chicago, and sisters in Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Mandie is a fun loving, kind hearted and devoted dear friend. Mandie also has a sense of humor that will keep you laughing all day long!
Clay
Groomsman
Matt and Clay met in high school. One of our best memories is attempting to camp out on the Appalachian Trail, but getting rained out so that is was more like we swam the Appalachian Trail!
Gabby
Bridesmaid
Gabby and Catalina met sophomore year at Loyola University Chicago while living in the same building, then became roommates for the next two years. Living with 4 girls in a two bedroom one bathroom apartment turned out exactly how you would expect, so while Gabby and Catalina kept each other sane it solidified their lifelong friendship.
Nick
Groomsman
Matt and Nick became friends while living together during college. From flag football shin splits, to games and nights of drinking and cooking - where he would do the cooking and I would do the eating.
Briana
Bridesmaid
Briana is Catalina's cousin and have grown up together since birth! Briana is the most creative and artistic person I know, (whose elaborate costumes led her to dance on stage with Macklemore himself!) and is equally passionate for inclusion and spreading kindness.
Markhendy
Groomsman
Markhendy was Matt's next door neighbor and childhood friend. He's got a go-gettum personality and is the most positive guy you'll ever meet.
Nikki
Bridesmaid
Nikki has been Catalina's friend since preschool, and have known each other over 20 years! From ballet recitals to graduate school, Nikki and Catalina have been through it all!
Alex
Groomsman
He married my sister.
Sara
Bridesmaid
Sara is Matthew's sister, and married to groomsmen Alex. Her and Catalina take the Dog Mom role very seriously - and they are fortunate to be going through all of life's exciting moments at the same time such as getting engaged, married, adopting puppies, and buying a house!
Michael
Groomsman
I'm marrying his sister.
Lauren
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Catalina's sister-in-law, and around her, there's never a dull moment. Lauren is fun and outgoing, and has an infectious laugh that'll brighten your day!
Mike
Groomsman
Matt and Mike became friends in elementary school and lived in the same neighborhood growing up. Mike is one of Matt's oldest friends.
Mia
Bridesmaid
Mia is Catalina's cousin and Goddaughter, and from the moment Mia was born Catalina has done everything she could to turn Mia into a Disney loving Disney princess herself!
Madeline

Maddy is Catalina's cousin and recently appointed flower girl! We can't wait to celebrate together and go to Disney World for the first time in 2022!
