Amber & Matthew
Wedding Party
Shannon Reed
Maid of Honor
Shannon is Amber's best friend (and one of her longest)! They met in 7th grade in their homeroom class. They were in 4H together and Shannon never really talked to anyone.. until Amber messed that up. The two have always been there for each other despite going to different colleges, moving away, and living in different states!
Logan Blake
Best Man
Logan punched Matt in the eye in 7th grade. Logan hasn't been able to get rid of him since. They were even roommates for a while!
Katie Snook
Bridesmaid
Amber met Katie on an online chat room when she was in 7th grade. Amber originally thought Katie was a boy named Kenji (after Katie's favorite anime character), and they talked online or on the phone every day for years. Katie met Amber in Pigeon Forge in 2008 and stayed the weekend in Tennessee while her family was on their way to Georgia. Ever since, Katie and Amber have taken turns to visit each other -- no matter where the other is located!
CJ Gotham
Groomsman
Matt met CJ while going to Delta College. CJ used to drag Matt out of his house to play Magic the Gathering because CJ knew Matt was depressed. Little did he know, he would meet tons of friends through CJ and their Friday Night Magic escapades (and Taco Bell runs).
Beronica Goodman
Bridesmaid
Amber met Beronica (also known as Bee) while going to University of the Cumberlands. Originally, Beronica was also an elementary education major, but that changed real quick. They were in band together in college for a few years and Beronica was always up for plastering Amber with makeup. Strangely enough, Beronica loved Amber enough to let her live in her living room after graduating college and letting her get on her feet in Knoxville.
Jonathan Blake
Groomsman
Matt met Jonathan the same day that Matt met Amber -- at the game store playing Pathfinder. It's hard to tell who was more interested in Matt -- Jonathan or Amber... but probably Jonathan. Ironically enough, Jonathan was spending the weekend at Amber's apartment to play games all weekend. Needless to say, he is now part of their close friend group.
Katie Sweezey
Bridesmaid
Amber met Katie in 2018 through playing Pathfinder in Cookeville. Katie's uncle had invited her and her boyfriend, Lucas, to come play Pathfinder with us. Katie kept Amber laughing the whole time and still does to this day!
Lucas Edmonds
Groomsman
Matt met Lucas when he and his girlfriend started playing Pathfinder in Cookeville. He became a gaming convention buddy (along with Katie) and became Matt's "Magic the Gathering" friend in Cookeville.
