Gwyn & Matt
Wedding Party
Jenna
Bridesmaid
Jenna is one of Gwyn's best friends from nursing school and is now a Labor & delivery nurse! Jenna is the life of the party, has a photographic memory and is a great dancer and LOVES CEVICHE which is one of the appetizers that will be served at the wedding.
Kenzie
Matron of Honor
Kenzie has been Gwyn's ride or die since Chico State. Sky diving, backpacking through Europe, and mentoring Gwyn through planning this entire wedding. Fun fact, Gwyn caught the bouquet at Kenzie's wedding 4 months before Matt proposed!
Emily
Maid of Honor
Em & Gwyn go way back! Gwyn's heart broke for the first time when Emily graduated high school the year before she did. But they made their long distance relationship work and Gwyn ended up visiting Emily in Santa Cruz frequently which lead her to going on her first real date with Matt!
Jo
Bridesmaid
Jo & Gwyn met in first semester of college in the dorms, then in anatomy, then in Zumba and workout classes. Turns out having the same major, you'll have a lot of classes together. Jo was a huge inspiration to Gwyn in believing in herself enough to pursue nursing school.
Stella
Sister of the Bride
Stella & Gwyn have known each other for 23 years. Gwyn always wanted Stella to be just like her but Stella is one of the most unique and strongest individuals there is. They grew up watching Shrek, Mulan & The Labrynth together. Fun fact about Stella is she can quote any movie and always has great Netflix recs!
D'Anna
Sister of the Groom
D'Anna is a mother of three (even though she looks like she's in her twenties still). She is a huge role model to both Matt & Gwyn and they will forever be grateful to her for making them an uncle and aunt. Fun fact about D'Anna, she has the best eye for design and you feel 10x cooler when you're around her.
Melinda
Bridesmaid
Mel is one of those people you meet later in life who you wish you'd known your whole life. Melinda & Gwyn met in 2020 and instantly connected. Melinda is a terrific gluten free baker and is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet!
Paige
Junior brides maid
Paige is Gwyn & Matts first niece and their iconic pop culture queen, she keeps us young. First of the P series, Paige is 13 going on 30 and is a great volleyball player.
Peyton
Flower Girl
Peyton is the life of the party, Gwyn & Matts 2nd niece and the funniest, smartest most athletic six year old there ever was. Peyton loves Justin Bieber and Beau! Fun fact: D'Anna gave Beau to Gwyn & Matt when she was 7 months pregnant with Peyton so thank you P3, for the greatest blessing of our lives.
Megan
Officiant
Megan can't be in two places at once so we decided to have her be our officiant instead of making her run back & fourth between Gwyn and Matts Bridal/Groom parties. Megan is terminally late so we're telling her to be there two hours prior to wedding start time just in case.
Sebby
Best Man
Sebby & Matt are quite the dynamic duo and have been best friends since 9th grade. Sebby has a passion for smoking meats in his Traeger and will most likely bring a Brisket to the wedding.
Kevin
Groomsman
Kevin is one of the strangest human being to date and is one of Matts best friends. Kevin and Megan (our officiant) have been together for 10+ years and recently also got engaged!
Jackson
Groomsman
Matt & Jackson met in the Golden Fire Academy and have continued their love for each other ever since. Jackson is a one of the only single men to attend the wedding so line up ladies.
Dave Anderson
Groomsman
David is Matt's brother-in-law, drinking buddy, and one of his best friends/role models. Dave is the best person to make fun of. We love Dave. Thanks for being here.
Anton Barlow
Groomsman
Anton & Matt's friendship was initially forced upon them by Gwyn and Jenna when they became besties in nursing school. Anton & Matt are pre-workout fiends, gym besties, and poor-acting fanatics. Thanks for being here, Anton; you're a treasured friend!
