Wedding Party

Olivia Whaley

Bride

Matthew Ellerbrock

Groom

Chloe Kaagan

Maid of Honor

To know Olivia is to love Olivia. If you know her, you probably know me, which means you love me too :) Olivia’s my built-in best friend. Although we’re related, we’ve been close since day one. We have been through a lot together over the years, cried together, traveled together, laughed so hard we couldn’t breathe together, and the list goes on. With this new chapter in her life beginning we have a lot more to learn together and I couldn’t be more excited and grateful to do it all by her side! Let’s go Ellerbrocks!!

Jared Fuka

Best Man

It’s hard to know where to begin when it comes to Matt and I. We’ve been best friends since we were about 5 years old. Matt has always been like a brother to me, from playing basketball in his parents garage and putting a hole in their wall to winning a few beer Olympics. We have made countless memories together throughout the last 20 some years and I’m excited for the future memories for many years to come. I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Olivia into our crazy friendship and to watch their relationship grow!

Abby Watson

Bridesmaid

This beautiful friendship started back in chemistry class. Olivia would get McDonald’s sweet tea every morning before school & if she had any left in that class, she’d give me the rest of it- love at first sip. You see, Olivia has always had this thing about her… she’s very routine oriented- from her McD’s sweet teas to her nighttime routine. If you know Olivia, you know this to be true. In other words, Matt knows EXACTLY who he is marrying. He’s the smartest guy I know for taking this amazing girl off the market. She is the definition of a good friend. I’m so thankful to be apart of this perfect couple sealing the deal, thankful to still be best friends 3+ hours away, and especially thankful to McD’s for setting the foundation of this lifelong friendship.

Matt and I met in high school where we became very good friends. We did a lot of things together with the "boys". But, my favorite times with Small Chest aka Matt were at the gym beating him in racquetball!

Lauren Manning

Bridesmaid

I met Olivia at Eastern High School. We had multiple classes together where her, Abby, and myself became "the trio". Even after Olivia moved to Ohio, we still remained close. Three and a half hours will never stand in our way! I love you so much my short BFF! I'm so excited to stand by your side on your special day!

Matt and I grew up being good friends since grade school and also rode the bus together. When we see each other we pick up right where we left off. Liv is his soulmate but when him and I are together we are swolemates!

Emma Nicolaus

Bridesmaid

Olivia and I crossed paths our freshman year of college. We were lucky enough to live a few doors down from each other in our dorm. This meant sharing closets, dragging each other home from the bars, endless Dunkin’ runs for our Sunday scaries, and so much more. When mistaken for sisters or twins, we just roll with it. I’m blessed to have such an amazing bestie for life. Can’t wait to celebrate the Ellerbrock’s!!

I didn’t go to school with Matt until 7th grade, he accepted me in like we were friends forever. We have been best friends ever since. From COD and 2K weekends to playing on the same basketball team (Give and Go) and softball team. I’m so excited to watch Matt and Liv grow together and enjoy life together! Congrats!

Olivia became my big sister in Alpha Chi Omega at BG during my freshman year. She quickly became my "mom", best friend and go to person during our years there. Weekly dates to chick-fil-a became our thing in college that have now turned into taco and margarita dates! I am so happy to stand by her side and so lucky to have her in my life!

Groomsman

Matt and I have been good friends since high school. We became close in college, especially when him and the "boys" would come up to BG for the weekend.

Payton Tucker

Bridesmaid

What started as nursing school besties, ended in the best college roommate relationship on this earth. From the late night snuggles to morning coffee runs, the Liv and Pay duo were always getting into some sort of random adventure. I can’t wait to support Livvy on her big day like she supported me throughout college and life in general, whether it be sitting on my cold feet to warm them up, coming into my room to encourage me to pick my clothes up off the floor, teaching me that baseball doesn’t have a “halftime”, or making us bowls of mac and cheese to eat while we watched Netflix or studied together, this girl was always there for me and is hands down my bestie for the restie. LET’S HAVE OURSELVES A WEDDING!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LIVVY AND MATT!

Groomsman

Matt and I have been good friends since as far back as we can remember. I’m proud to say that I can at least take some of the credit for this special occasion, as my wife and I were the ones who introduced Matt and Liv. It took some serious convincing, but we finally talked Liv into giving Matt a shot and the rest is history. Can’t wait to watch these two tie the knot!
