Wedding Party
Matt Stearns
Best Man
This is Emily's, Brother Matt. She decided to make him her best man! From when they were kids, she always knew he had her back. He was her rock and helped her through moments when she was scared or when she would be shy around strangers. Even as adults Matt drove with her to help her move to Wisconsin. He was once again there for her and was a positive company at a time that was scary and nerve-wracking. He was looking forward to the day he would be there for her wedding day!
