Matron of Honor
Rebecca's best friend from college. Met in the dance department at SEMO, lived together for a few years, the Buzz to my Woody. I was her maid of honor in her August 2020 wedding!
Best Man
Matt's older brother. He was Brian's co-best man in 2015.
Man of Honor
Rebecca's twin brother. Need I say more?
Groomsman
Matt's childhood friend. He offered Jon a groomsman spot by claiming he would offer future considerations in a fantasy football league.
Bridesmaid
Rebecca's sister-in-law and best friend from middle school! We grew up down the road from each other when Nicole moved to Missouri in 2009. Nicole married my twin brother, Matthew, in October 2022, where I was maid of honor!
Groomsman
Matt's childhood friend. He made sure to ask Joe before an upcoming fantasy football matchup. Joe's response was it depended on if Matt asked his twin brother Jon first.
Bridesmaid
Ali completes the friendship trio with Nicole and Rebecca from middle school. She's been with me through the highest of highs and lowest of lows. It's hard to describe what Ali means to me and the party absolutely will not start until she gets there!
Groomsman
Matt's friend from elementary school. Fun fact, Matt once fired Nathan as his head coach of his fantasy football team over a waiver claim for Jermichael Finley. The friendship never suffered, as you can tell.
Bridesmaid
Rebecca's best friend from her time working at WPSD in Paducah, KY. She is the Snoopy to my Woodstock. Kaylee started there a few months after I did as a meteorologist. We spent the next 8 months playing with her cat, Sunny, eating lots of food, having a mutual love for the Peanuts, and growing a friendship that would stretch across multiple state lines.
Groomsman
Matt's friend from SEMO. Matt told him he is filling the Super Flex position on his groomsmen team.
Bridesmaid
Rebecca's close friend from middle school. While we went through periods of not talking very much, she always has shown me she's there for me. We've reconnected over the last year while Nicole was getting ready for her wedding, and as we were talking and cleaning up from that reception (and we took this photo), I knew Kelsey had to be a part of my special day when it came!
Groomsman
Matt's "dad" from college. They knew each other from the Arrow, SEMO's student run newspaper. Tim doesn't play fantasy football with Matt, but is a huge Spurs fan. Tim and his wife Zarah introduced Matt to Kansas City barbecue and his life has never been the same.
Ring Bearer
Rebecca and Matt's nephew and godson!
Ring Bear
Matt and Rebecca's niece, Brayden's little sister. Yes, I meant to say ring bear. She will be 5 months old, so she gets to wear a bear suit.
Ring Master
Matt's sister-in-law and Brayden's mother. She will be the trustworthy one with the rings, and help Brayden get down the aisle.

Matt's friend from elementary school. He's a youth leader for a church in the St. Louis area, but is going to get his marriage license so he can officiate our wedding, which will also be his first wedding he's officiated!
Good Boi
Not the goodest boi. That's Royal, King's uncle-cousin.
