Christie & Oliver
Wedding Party
Chrissy Chan(aka Pip/Tia Taco)
Best Betch
Pip is Oliver's baby Sister and best friend, who he loves to tease. For example-he really wanted to write, "she smells"...but really she doesn't, if any thing she smells like roses :) (Editors Note: she smells). Chrissy was in tears when Oliver asked her to be his Best Betch. She currently resides in Huntington Beach, with her handsome Pup Odie and boyfriend Jamison. We are over joyed she said yes and apart of our big day <3
Eric Mattson
Dude of Honor
Eric has known Christie his whole life. She calls him her "little big brother", probably because he got the tall genes in the Mattson family. Eric is also responsible for bringing Christie her own "little sister", when he married Shayla 11 years ago. Eric was ecstatic when he was asked to be the "Dude of Honor" and could not be happier to stand next to his sister when she gets married.
Calvin Mattson
Ring Bearer
Calvin, who also goes by "Cal", is the oldest nephew at the ripe old age of six. When he's not dominating the soccer pitch, the ice-rink, or the baseball diamond, he's hanging out with his younger brother or playing Fortnite. He loves doing arts and crafts with his Auntie Christie and currently holds an 0-289 record in wrestling matches with his Uncle Oliver. He's also a master at photo bombing, so just check your surroundings before getting your picture taken. Auntie Christie has made Calvin cry 4 times, Uncle Oliver only once.
Max Chan
Ring Bearer
Max has three loves in his life: Star Wars, Spider-Man, and Tia Christie. While he's only 4 years old, he's able to identify almost all multi-syllabic dinosaurs (but he still can't pronounce "Oliver")...fact check, he could identify almost ALL multi-syllabic dinosaurs at age 3. And also knows EVERYTHING about Star Wars. Max is the only Nephew/Niece Christie has not made cry.
Harvey Mattson
Pacey's Escort
Harvey, also known as Harvs, absolutely loves animals and has lots of experience feeding his leftovers to his dog Mac and his turtle appropriately named Horsey. He loves to dance and tear it up whenever Queen or the theme to Ghostbusters comes on. It's also strongly recommended to avoid getting him wet. Just think of the mayhem that occurred in the movie Gremlins. Same thing, really. Just don't. Seriously.
Sophia Chan
Flower Girl
Sophia is a bad ass boss bitch. Don't let her diminutive stature fool you... She. Will. Bite. Yo'. Ass. When she's not being put in daycare time-out, she's accessorizing by wearing cool sunglasses, shopping for Micro designer bags OR picking out cool Chan Sister BFF bracelets, this girl is styling! When she was 3 months shy of her second birthday, she figured out how to use chop-sticks (so what's your excuse?). Also, please watch your grown-up drinks and sunglasses. She will try to drink from your glass (not a joke, she will) or steal your sunglasses.
Briana Myers
Officiant
Briana has known Oliver for 10 years where they regularly attempt to strangle/maim each other. Even though Briana had only met Christie briefly at the time, she was incredibly excited to bake one of her famous cakes for Christie's surprise birthday (the first birthday celebration since the two moved in together). Since then, Briana has been a staple at many of Oliver and Christie's hosted social functions, including the annual Thanksgiving Dinner, random fight-night cook-outs, and holiday BBQs. Briana currently holds a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu, is an active community advocate, volunteer aficionado, and has an adorable mutt named Ollie-Roo (no relation to the other Oliver).
Pacey
Best Pup
"Hi, I'm Pacey!!!!!!!"..Meet Pacey, our Best Pup who is such a good boy! Pacey was adopted right before Memorial Day Weekend of 2022. Pacey's first impressions was his huge paws (and you know what they say about big paws) and his love of cuddling. So naturally we knew right off the bat that he was coming home with us. Within the first few months, he became the most popular pup in the neighborhood. Store-owners, wait-staff, retired (alleged) ex-mob neighbors, even the star of Bio Dome, Stephen Baldwin's older brother Alec, have all taken a liking to Pacey which makes daily walks extra long due to all the stops. This big little guy has SO much personality and has added so much joy to our lives. He has also given us what they call a "couple challenge", a challenge we accepted and love so much! This guy LOVES other dogs, cats, kids, adults...basically anything breathes air and moves. He's your new best friend and our baby boy that we love SO MUCH! Very important to have him here on our BIG DAY...Mom and Daddy get married <3
Christie Mattson
Bride
Christie left her home in the midwest for the big city and has become the envy of most girls by traveling all over the world as a successful professional in the fashion industry. Despite growing up in Wisconsin, she never gave into peer pressure and stayed loyal to the Minnesota Vikings, despite the fact that it would have been easier to be a Packers fan. When she was younger, her mother tried to teach her how to cook, Christie replied "why? I'll marry a guy who can". And that's what she did.
Oliver Chan
Groom
Oliver is from Worcester, MA and not shy with his love for Boston sports teams...in-fact, he will make sure to ALWAYS update you on the stats of the Super Bowl Rings, Stanley Cups or World Series Titles his teams have won. Did you know?...when Christie first moved in, he warned her, if his teams do not win championships...she's sleeping in the guest room..don't worry, she still sleeps in the Master bedroom. Oliver is also a VERY amazing gift giver, which also translates to, thoughtful and sweet. He won Christie over on the 4th date (right before Xmas) with a gift of a stuffed elephant (Christie LOVES elephants and had recently visited Thailand-noted Man pays attention!) This was also before she found out what and awesome cook he was! Any way, long story short, Oliver swept Christie off her feet with his funny charm and his sweetness.
