Wedding Party

Annie Sokolich

Maid of Honor

High School & Life-long Friend. Post-College Roommate. Bachelor Fanatic. Swando 4ever. Just don't ask her how to do any mathematical calculations - she once asked me how many 1/4 cups were in 1 cup...

Chad Mccann

Best Man

Known for his manly beard and great hugs, Chad was instrumental in helping Matt pull off the proposal. Matt learned a lot from Chad when they were roommates in college. For example Matt now knows all the words to Poison's Mama's Fallen Angel because of Chad's strange choice of alarm and his inability to wake up for his 9 a.m. class.

Lara Leonard

Maid of Honor

High School & College Friend. Denver Resident (but St. Louis has her heart!). Adventure Lover. We're definitely funniest around 9a on Sundays. It's the only time she doesn't avoid my phone calls because she knows we're hungover and hilarious together.

Andrew Brown

Groomsman

A man of many talents, and by talents I mean he is very good at a lot useless games such as darts, bags, washers, and the list goes on. They shared a room in college where Matt is forever grateful for Andrew introducing him to The First 48, Intervention, and Dog the Bounty Hunter. The one and only captain crunch.

Angela Geringer

Bridesmaid

High School & College Friend. Dog Mom. Designated Playlist Creator. One of Angela's most interesting accomplishments is that she once broke her arm on a fish.

Josh Odorizzi

Groomsman

Owner of the world famous Macoupin Street Jazz Lounge, Josh enjoys doing feats of strength and cleaning the lounge in his spare time. It once took him 10 minutes to realize a Pizza Hut waitress had given him a Spanish menu. What he lacks in observation skills he makes up with physical prowess.

Emily Pagano

Bridesmaid

Teacher Bestie. Fellow Truman Alum. Font Lover. Emily is 1/2 of the Shannon/Emily dream team. We can generally be found giggling awkwardly around the halls of Fort Zumwalt East.

Johnny Mihelcic

Groomsman

Johnny called Matt one summer and asked him if he wanted to go to Europe with him. Matt told him he would think about it but he wanted to buy a new car. Four years later Matt is still driving that same car. Oh by the way he is a Dr. and he is single ladies!

Kellie Clites

Bridesmaid

College friend. South City Neighbor. Kellie can often be found changing the lyrics to popular songs on accident (White Bananas) or crying at really good news.

Adam Brackman

Groomsman

Adam and Matt became friends when they both realized they were fans of the teenage mutant ninja turtles in preschool. They were roommates many years in college and after college except for a 12 hour period when Adam fell asleep and resided on a bench in Edwardsville. He was in fo sho zombie mode.

Michelle Flynn

Bridesmaid

High School Bestie. Fellow Trumanite. We've been friends for way too long at this point and know all of our embarrassing phases including the days we used to blast Mariah Carey and drive around North County.

Brett Miller

Groomsman

Brett is a dedicated guy. He is dedicated to watching every single sporting event, attending every obscure concert, and to drinking over 1000 unique beers as documented on his untappd app profile. Brett is always ready to have a good time with his friends. Your typical stoop kid with a heart of gold.
