Jessica & Matthew
Wedding Party
Melanie
Maid of Honor
Melanie picked grass in T-ball with Jess, and they went through school together. These two have gotten stuck in the Delaware River many times over the summers and still look forward to doing it all over again every year. They have both been there for each other when they couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel and always brought each other out on the other side, and about 20 years later still remain best friends. The two have talked about growing up together, getting married around the same time and having their kids become best friends for as long as they can remember. Jess couldn't ask for a better sister to stand by her side!
Kelley
Bridesmaid
Kelley was Jess' right hand girl through out her graphic design career at Rutgers Camden. They got through thesis together and many conspiracy theories about My Chemical Romance getting back together. (They are still waiting on this) The two bonded over horribly long critiques, Pusheen, Taco Bell and good music and have remained close ever since. Jess is honored to have Kelley be by her side.
Tiana
Bridesmaid
Tiana took Jess in as one of her own instantly when she transferred to Rutgers, from that day on she grew to become one of Jess' best friends. They bonded over art, pinterest, and having the same annoying stories about the same crazy professor for the past two years now. Jess knows that anytime the going gets tough that she can call on Tiana for her advice and a shoulder to lean on. Jess is honored to have Tiana by her side as she says "I do!"
Courtney
Bridesmaid
Ah where to start with Courtney! Courtney has been there for Jess since the day she met her. She's been there to laugh with Jess, and to cry with her. When Jess and Matt bought their first house Courtney was there to help Jess paint her studio, it was only fitting since the during the entire home buying process Courtney would find ways for Jess to decorate her studio online. The two have also bonded over a love of mushrooms! Jess is honored that Courtney will be by her side.
Brandon
Best Man
Brandon has been a part of Matt and Jess' life since the very beginning of their relationship. He saw the good times, bad times and hard times and always remained close friends. Matt is honored to have Brandon by his side.
Brad
Groomsman
Matt has known Brad since he was 13 years old. The two met over Xbox Live and 13 years later still remain friends. Proof that no matter how far away you live you can still remain friends! Matt is honored to have Brad as part of his wedding party.
Al
Groomsman
Brother-in-law of the groom. From late night Black Friday TV runs to watching the Philadelphia Flyers beat the NY Rangers, we are so lucky to have a brother-in-law who is able to come help at the drop of a hat! We are so happy to have Albert in our wedding.
Chris
Groomsman
The groom's other brother-in-law and fellow twitch streamer, Chris is a kind hearted gentlemen who was there from the bride and groom's beginning. Standing as one of our groomsmen for our new beginning makes our bond even stronger. We may live thousands of miles apart but to share this day will be a memory we will never forget.
Nick
Officiant
Matt and Jess are elated to have Nick as their Officiant. Jess remembers laughing when her brother said he was going to become an officiant with a few of his friends, little did she know this would one day come to use. After everything their family has been through both Jess and Matt couldn't imagine a better person to marry them. Jess is so happy to have her brother marry the two of them and send them off into the next chapter of their lives.
Arianna
Flower Girl
Arianna is the cousin of the bride. Arianna loves to spend her free time making slime, playing with unicorns, swimming and spending time on Instagram, just like the bride! We have been blessed to be able to watch Arianna grow into the intelligent, beautiful young lady she is today. We are so lucky to have you as our flower girl. We have already come to terms with the fact that Arianna will absolutely steal the show, and we are okay with that! Arianna you mean so much to both of us and we are so excited to have you be a part of our special day!
Gabriel & Nathaniel
Ring Bearers
Nephews of the groom and protectors of the rings! They dabble in the finer things in life such as PJ Masks, Elmo and Pokémon (the bride and groom will always support the Pokémon addiction). Inseparable as a pair and the sweetest pair of boys you will ever meet! We have had the honor of watching these 2 boys grow into fine young gentlemen and we are truly honored to have them take the duty of ring bearers for our wedding.
