Krissy & Matt
Wedding Party
Rev. Breena Boltas
Officiant
Bride's Best Friend & Sister by Choice To call her my Best Friend just isn't enough and that's why I call her my Sister by Choice. Breena and I have this connection that only sisters could ever have. Both of us being only children growing up, when we met almost 20 years ago we connected as if we have always been "sisters". From coaching popwarner cheerleading, celebrating birthdays together, loosing loved ones, to just day to day friendship she has ALWAYS been there for me. When my father was sick and I needed her she was there. When I lost my Dad she moved around her entire schedule to be there for me at the drop of a hat. To me she is what describes a Best Friend and a Sister.
Jessica Reitmann
Matron of Honor
Groom’s Sister Jess is an amazing sister to Matt. I know how much he loves his sister and would do anything for her. I see the same love reciprocated with Jess to Matt. She's been a great friend to me since Matt introduced me to her when her and her now husband Kyle were visiting from Florida after we started dating. She's included me as her family since we met and I couldn't be happier to have asked her to be my Matron of Honor. She flew up to Massachusetts when my father died to be there for me and it was the middle of winter. She HATES the cold! But to be there for Matt, my mother and I was truly the most amazing thing she could do for us.
John Lopes
Best Man
Groom’s Best Friend John is John. He's been Matt's Best Friend since they were 8 years old. He's his "Brother from another Mother" if you want to get technical. From girls, to baseball, to BMX riding, to cars, to day to day friendship John has always been there for Matt. When Matt told John he was moving to North Carolina with my mom and I he didn't think twice about helping us with the move. He took the time off of work to make the drive down with us. Honestly, we thought he was going to be late like usual for us to leave Massachusetts. But he proved us wrong and was at Matt's parents house at 4:30am bright eyed and bushy tailed!
Peter Grossimon
Father of the Bride
My Dad would be over the moon about our big day. My Dad loved Matt so much and was grateful for everything he did for him. From playing in the kiddie pool as a baby, to teaching me how to drive and me peeling out the tires of his truck trying to back out of a parking spot to just teasing me and teaching me some things to cook I will always be thankful for the time we had together. We both wish he could be here today with us to join us on our wedding day. He will be with us in spirit. Please don’t forget to say hello at the empty chair with his picture!
Kathy Grossimon
Mother of the Bride
My Mom, what could I possibly say about my Mom. She's an amazing woman that I have the honor of calling my Mother. She's always helped me with anything I needed. Even a simple " call and pretend you're me" type of call so I didn't have to make a phone call to places. She gave me as much as she could growing up without making me think I could get anything I wanted. She taught me to work for what I want. She taught me to be humble and kind. Treat others the way I want to be treated. For that I thank her from not allowing me to grow up to be a ungrateful person.
Mike DeShiro
Father of the Groom
From the day Matt was born Matt was his Father's shadow. Matt's Dad is an amazing man. He taught Matt to be humble and kind. He taught him to be patient and loving. He's opened his arms to me making me a part of his family as if I have been in his life all along.
Cheryl DeShiro
Mother of the Groom
Groom’s Step-Mother Cheryl has been a part of Matt's life since he was 13 years old. To only say he has one mother would be an insult knowing she has loved him just as a mother should since day 1. She's also taught him to be humble and kind. Show patience and love. She has supported his decisions in life whether she agreed or not. She has welcomed me with open arms as if I have been a part of her family all along.
Nina Cheetham
Mother of the Groom
Matt's Mother has always been kind. Her love for her son is indescribable. Her indescribable love for Matt has helped mold Matt into the man he is today. It has shown him to love hard and to love deep. For this I’m thankful for. She has welcomed me as part of the family as if I belong.
Kyle Reitmann
Usher
Groom’s Brother-in-Law Matt says he’s the “BEST BROTHER IN LAW EVER!” Kyle has always treated Matt as if he was his brother. Always being there for him for simple things like questions about cars, electrical needs and just being a friend. He’s welcomed me with open arms as family from the day we met. He’s a kind soul who is laid back but also fun!
