Matron of Honor
We were born 2 weeks apart in April 1988 to parents who were best friends, and we will continue that for this generation and the ones that follow!
Matron of Honor
We met in college and have laughed every day since. Abby is the sister I didn't have and even though she hates everything about weddings, we're close enough for me to force her to do all the things she doesn't want to.
Bridesmaid
The one who started it all. Shelly has been part of my family for over 5 years, and has selflessly let me join hers; informally at first, and now for real. We couldn't have a wedding without her.
Bridesmaid
Lexi and I have been friends since babyhood as well, and our families continue to be best friends to this day. I couldn't imagine getting married without her or her family, as they've been mine since day one.
Bridesmaid
I met Kirsten in college, when we both hated our Orientation roommates and fled to the common area to watch Family Guy away from them. Then I found out it was her tap-dancing in the dorm room above mine, and since then, I've been able to count on her for anything, including being my dog's Mother-In-Law one day.
Bridesmaid
Better known as my Work Wife, Chelsie and I met teaching fourth grade, and immediately became inseparable. There is nothing she wouldn't do for me, and vice versa, and she keeps me sane every day at our job. I wouldn't be able to be married without her by my side.
Best Man
Matt and Jorge met in middle school, and bonded over basketball, video games, and the occasional Safeway trip. They stayed friends through high schools even though they went to separate ones (Don't ask Jorge, which high school he went to because he won't stop telling you, but Matt says it was "shady"), and through college. Matt was the Best Man at Jorge's wedding and is excited that now it's Jorge's turn to give the damn speech.
Best Man
Billy and Matt have been friends since first grade at Our Lady of Lourdes. They even attended the same high school, St. John's (i.e. NOT Gonzaga). They played baseball together, were tasked with training up the youth of America as camp counselors, and share a love of crushing Naturdays, and eating Cinnabon. Matt was Billy's Best Man and is excited to return the favor.
Groomsman
Matt and Chris are cousins, and used to hang out every weekend before Chris's family moved to Tennessee. Matt is grateful to have moved back to Knoxville and have more time to spend with Chris playing games at his house, or on the lake, boating, wakeboarding, and eating steak bombs from Romeo's. Heather and Matt would never have met if it weren't for Chris and his wife Shelly, so they are eternally grateful for their assistance in this romance.
Groomsman
Thomas is Matt's brother and we can't imagine a wedding day without him standing beside us. Matt loves that Thomas is all about the hustle and is willing to sell personal belongings right out of his family closet to support his UberEats habit. 3 years left before the brotherly memories GET REAL.
Groomsman
Sam is Matt's youngest, and most mature brother. They share a love of football and a hatred of each other's favorite teams. Matt has never beaten Sam in a Madden game in this decade, but the competition continues. Sam knows Matt will always be the true winner of the Family Air Hockey Tournament.
Groomsman
Barely made the cut...again. We were forced to invite him because he's "family". (Bride's brother).
Groomsman
Patrick and Matt met at college orientation. Except they never went to orientation, because they skipped it to go the mall. Probably not worth asking what they bought there. Junebug is the funniest person Matt knows, but don't tell Brett. They still look forward to planning the ultimate MattPat Party.
Groomsman
Matt and Brett met through Patrick freshman year of college. Brett wore the coolest Wile E. Coyote jeans and Matt knew they just had to be friends. Since then, they have recreated "Dick in a Box" for Halloween, run countless pranks on each other (think dead starfish in a trunk during summer for two weeks) and Brett ruined Jay Z for everyone by refusing to turn off Young Forever.
Flower Girl
Her lifelong dreams of petal throwing are coming true and we absolutely CAN NOT wait for it. The frillier the better, folks.
Ring Bearer
William is going to transform into the best ring bearer there ever was. Be prepared for the cutest thing you've ever seen.
