Bride
Groom
Officiant
Better known as the Neanderthal. Nick has been there for us from the very beginning. He and Brian have been friends for a very long time and have really become family to us. We can always count on him when we need anything. He is over for dinner and game nights every weekend! We couldn't think of anyone else better to marry us. ( if he goes missing later on in the night, don't worry, he will be air tagged!)
Best Man
The man, the Myth, the Legend! Better known as Dingo. Brian and dan go way back. if you think you have heard wild stories, I can tell you that you haven't heard wild until you hear about their adventures. Dan is also like a brother to us and is also over every weekend of game nights. (Don't be shocked when you see how tall he really is)
Maid of Honor
Best friend since Junior year in high school. She is the most amazing friend who has seen me at my worst and my best. We have shared all of our BIG moments together. She is married to Jermey Williams who she has been together with since GRADE SCHOOL! That's right, you read that correctly. The Williams have just welcomed their baby girl in July of 2024 and are wonderful parents. They are absolutely inspiring to me. I could not think of anyone better to be by my side as I take the first steps into my forever.
Bridesmaid
My middle sister. Growing up with her was wild to say the least. This girl has grown into such a beautiful young woman. It still shocks me how much she continues to grow. Kylie is the most intuitive, smart and determined person I know! This is a girl who would over load her school schedule so she could graduate on time, work 3 jobs on her off time and still manage to have such a flourishing social life. I value not only her work ethic and perseverance but the warm heart she wears on her sleeves for anyone who needs it. I am so blessed to have someone as warm as her on this special day.
Bridesmaid
Ashlynn-Grace is my youngest sister. She is my wild, outgoing, memory making sister. Through out the years, I never thought we had much in common with such an age gap. But as she grows up, she is more and more like me everyday. She is the one I call on a day to day basis just to chat, she is the one who is always down to go do anything anywhere at any time and she is the one who reminds me that life is short and to always live in the moment. Ashlee is my wildfire and I am so excited to party with her on this special day.
Bridesmaid
Madi Girl as we call her. This is my new cousin as she just married into the family on May of 2024! She has been the greatest addition to the Matteroli family. Someone who has such wonderful values and is there for you whenever you need her to be. She is my wine drinking partner when she visits and someone who is always on the go! She always makes time for her family and friends and I am so excited to have her be apart of such a special day.
Bridesmaid
Mrs. Berlin, executive decision, A-team or Allie as we love to call her. This was the most unexpected friendship that has bloomed into something incredible. We worked for the same railroad company about 3 years ago. She is the one who trained me to be dispatcher when I knew nothing about the railroad. At first we butted heads like you wouldn't believe, but then one day we realized how crazy similar we were. All it took was a cowhide. This woman is incredible. She has gone through some really tough situations and she comes out stronger every time. She is absolutely incredible and I look up to her always. she has always guided me in the right direction, and has listened to my complaints. I value her thoughts and I am just so excited that she gets to be part of this special day.
Groomsman
Also known under the alias Cal Johnson. Brian and Caleb have one of the shortest but one of the strongest friendships in the group. Caleb has been there for every up and down. Caleb and Brian also have a weird habit of spending time together in hospitals. ( Ask them about it!)
Groomsman
Michael and Brian first met in middle school playing basketball against each other. In their later years they would spend countless weekends together going on camping trips to explore new places on their UTV's.
Groomsman
The one and only Austin Sitton, there isn't enough room to explain the friendship between him and Brian. at least nothing legal. They first met in middle school but didn't become close friends until their late teens. Austin is an avid outdoorsman who got Brian into bow fishing, and wake surfing with the family. he is the only smart one out of the group to get out of California.
Groomsman
Better known in the group as the Jiving Jag. Joey has been a part of Brian's life since they met working at John Deer together. They have had countless adventures together from UTV rides across the deserts of Nevada, to hanging on the beaches of Pismo.
Mother of the Bride
Just so everyone is clear, She is Finally MOTHER OF THE BRIDE! I will try to keep this short and sweet, This is my Biological mom. She Is the most sweetest person you will ever meet. She has always been there for me through every aspect of my life. maybe more than I would have liked at times, but I'm thankful for it more and more as I grow older. She is loving, protective, funny, kind, sensitive, sweet and a lot of fun. Growing up I was a lot more like my dad, but as I get older I am turning out to be more like my mom's twin. its absolutely insane how much a like we are and even how much we look like each other as well. I only hope to be half as good of a wife and mother as her some day.
Father of the Bride
This is my step-dad Brent, or as I call him, dad. My dad has been in my life since I was two years old. That is not an easy role to step into, especially when he did not have kids of his own yet. I am beyond grateful that he walked into my life and never turned back. the love and support he shows me is something I will be forever grateful for. My dad is incredibly strong willed, intuitive, smart, and hard working. A genuine country living man. It took me a long time to understand his ways but as I get older, I'm thankful for all the tough lessons, groundings, and yelling that dads typically get stuck with. I am who I am today because of how I was raised and he had a big part in that.
Mother of the Bride
This is my wonderful step mom. Tracy came into my life when I was about 13 or 14 years old. She is an incredible woman. Tracy also grew up in the small town of Cave Junction Oregon and went to school with my dad from Pre-K through High school! They have an incredible love story. Tracy is a very hardworking, loving, nurturing, free spirited woman. I have always loved the outlook on life that she has. She has always encouraged my wild dreams. I am lucky to have a step mom who loves and cherishes not only me, but my dad. The love that these two have for each other is nothing short of inspiring. I love the memories that we share and the bond that we have. She is FINALLY going to be retired from UPS this year and she is going to finally start living the life she has always dreamt of having. She wants to open up her own venue for all types of events, which I find so incredibly perfect for her and my dad. I value her tenacity in making her dreams come true. Beyond grateful to have her in my life.
Father of the Bride
Father of the bride ladies and gentleman! This is my biological dad Ray. Again, I will try to keep this short and sweet. I have always looked up to this man. He is hard working, wears his heart on his sleeve, can meet a stranger and become best friends ( literally, you can't take this man anywhere) is the true definition of a good ol' country boy. My dad grew up on a small farm out in Cave junction Oregon. a town where everyone knows everybody, kids where always outside until the street light turned on (even later than that most nights) and where his best friends growing up are still his best friends and my "uncles" to this day. I am thankful to have a dad who has taught me that extended family isn't really extended, they are just family, I'm thankful that he has taught me to always look at the bright side when things get tough and I'm most thankful for the memories I have growing up. with out him I wouldn't be who i am today.

Brian's #1 Niece
Ring Bearer
Leesyn-Lou as I call him. He is the son of Tim & Elisha Walters. I had the honor to be in his everyday life for his very first year in this world. He and I have always had such a special bond. It's hard to believe that he is turning 10 this year! Leesyn is a very smart, shy, funny, rambunctious kid. I love his creativity when I watch him play with his toys and when he creates his own video games to play. I knew from the moment that I got engaged, that I would want him to be the one who gives me the ring to place on husbands had.
