Wedding Party
Matthew Slaughter
Best Man
The word 'best' can hardly describe the man who is Matthew Slaughter. Maxwell and Matthew have been each others' number one, since day one.

Matthew and his brothers have been the brothers Maxwell never had; a second family he could call his own. Maxwell was Matthew's Best Man at his wedding and it is only fitting that Matthew gets to share the same honor. When Matthew isn't cross-fittin', roughing up the boys in rugby, or dominating in some DOTA, he's being the best dad and husband you've ever seen. Matthew currently resides in Bonita Springs, FL with his beautiful wife Lora and his two daughters Adrianna and Avalynn (Maxwell and Jennifer's Goddaughter).
