Wedding Party
Jenny
Matron of Honor
Jenny is my Matron, my life coach, my stylist, my hair dresser, my therapist, my forever roommate, my cheerleader. Three years ago, Jenny stepped into my life wearing red-bottom heels and welcomed me to the Matchett family. Since then, our friendship, (more like sisterhood) has been filled with endless laughter, snacks, Olive Garden dates, shopping trips, sheesha nights, and girl talk. Jenny is my compass when I'm lost, my reality check when I need it most. We've never gone a day without texting, even when traveling the world. Jenny's heart is made of Gucci and gold and I’m so blessed to call her my Matron of Honor.
George
Best Man
Brother ohhh brother, I wrote about you last because anything I say wouldn’t be enough so I had to think hard about how to introduce you to people. Thank you for always being there for me, thank you for having my back and the family’s back when I was at my lowest and thank you for still having my back when I’m at my highest, you are a true meaning of a brother and I’m so grateful for your presence in my life. You and your son are the light of this family and I respect you more than anything for getting a kid before me (thanks for getting the pressure of me). I’m so happy you are my best men standing beside me.
Bri - aka Squish
Maid of Honor
The name Squish originated the day I learned that octopuses love their partners so much that they accidently squeeze and cuddle them to death. I decided to test out my love for Bri by being an octopus. She survived, and is now my MOH and forever partner in crime. Bri is unique in every sense. Her high energy, excitement, and laughter are contagious. There's no one that can make me laugh (or take shots) more than Bri. She is my on-call doctor for everything from hangovers to the flu, and nurses me back to health with her vodka bag and magic rice. She brings out the happiest, craziest, most unfiltered version of Masha Nuggets, and that’s why she’s my ultimate Squish.
Rouhana
Best Man
Charlie, where do I start, I honestly don’t think I’d be alive, wealthy & with Mash if it wasn’t for you knocking logic & reason into my head daily. It's very comforting to know that I have such an amazing lifelong friend, business partner & essentially a second brother, by my side that has always been there for me & always will in the good & bad times. From promoting & partying (well you djing & me partying) at every club in BOSTON, the HUGE life changing decisions we made together that literally shaped our lives & your amazing advice and reasoning when I’m about to do something unbelievably crazy & stupid & to the endless whiskey & cigar nights while talking about how to take over the world, I’m honored for you to be one of my best men & I need to keep you around for the cooking as well.
Katie
Bridesmaid
Katie was my first friend when I came to America in 1993. Not knowing each other’s language, we communicated through giggles and coca-cola. From first boyfriends, to first jobs, we helped one another navigate life through the ups and downs. We've literally grown up together, the memories we share are countless. Even when life has brought us on different paths, we've always found our ways back to walking side by side and celebrating each milestone we reach. We're even getting married one month apart! She’s my soul sister in every sense - no matter what the future holds, I know Katie and I will be connected spiritually forever.
Ilya (The Rusky)
Best Man
Oh how do I start here .. The One and Only Rusky, Rusky came into my life while I was trying to show off I knew a few words of Russian and CB me, therefor I made it my mission for the next 10 years of knowing him, going out and partying to CB him until he got married to the beautiful Kristina (you’re welcome K). From me being his best man in Ukraine and California (yes got married twice , same girl though) , to camping trips in every corner of this country, to us sailing the high Caribbean seas and keeping me and Masha alive , it’s an honor for me to have him one of my best men.
Elena
Bridesmaid
Elena and I met during English class at Suffolk University. I’ve always admired her for unwavering kindness, beauty and confidence (after all, she's my model friend). Together we’ve danced the night away at every club in Boston, attended numerous ballet shows, drank bottomless glasses of champagne (with our pinkies up) and shared countless selfies. She has been there for me through when I needed her most and brought Tony into my life and for that, I’m forever grateful.
Melhem
Best Man
Me and Mel go way back, met in an internet café in Byblos Lebanon, I literally opened his first email and became his go to geek when he needed help. When I moved to the US to finished studying, he couldn’t live without me so he moved as well, and married Donna ,his beautiful wife that takes care of his geek needs now. They have 2 wonderful children and Mel has always been the mature guy that gives me grown-up advise even though I don’t follow it what so ever. He has always been there for me in the ups and downs and TRIED to direct me in the right direction and for that I thank him and honored for him to be one of my best men.
Rodica
Bridesmaid
Rodica is as real as a friend can get. She is honest, pure and loyal, a rarity in this world. She is unfiltered and without hesitation, will always tell it like it is. Rodica will drop everything to be there for a friend and that's what I treasure most - that and her incredible cooking, ability to make me laugh so hard I can't breathe, and her magical healing hugs that make my world brighter and better. Rodica always knew that Tony and I would get married, we even bet on it...and I'm so happy that she won.
Charlie
Best Man
Kob, oh Kob, I wanted to kill him 50% of the time but the other 50% of the time I knew if I wanted to have a street fight with someone you would be the first one to take off your belt & start hitting people. We knew each other from the same city in Lebanon but became close friends here in the U.S. when we came up with the horrible idea to live together. From what started as a convenient situation, turned into a lifelong friendship, respect and partying that’s still going on till this day. I want to kill him less now though thanks to his beautiful wife Jenny. Kob was responsible for bringing a lot of friends to my life, mainly lifelong friends from Umass Amherst’s (what they call the ZOO), which I’m very grateful for and the party continues and I’m honored for him to be one of my best men.
Krystina
Bridesmaid
Krystina and I became best friends in high school and despite the many miles in between, have been creating new memories ever since. Together we share the obsession for Harry Potter, wine (but never merlot), roller coasters and travel. I've always been inspired by Krystina's determination and strength; from having badass jobs training marine mammals, to moving around the country, she's never hesitated to take risks. I'm so excited for her to be there as I make the Unbreakable Vow and marry the caveman of my dreams.
Lance
Best Man
Lance, what are you doing here? I barely know you unlike these guys that I've known for over 10+ years, but you are that guy that comes into people’s lives and makes them do crazy , illogical and monetary irresponsible things in the name of fun and turns out to be a one hell of a time. As you said once “I’m an enabler” and when we are together I feel that you are down for everything and anything, which might or might not end our lives. From the crazy partying to the chill nights in Costa Rica, to that one time you broke your hand punching me, it’s an honor to have you as one of my best men, and I also want to make sure your always around to bring the excessive amount of equipment for when we go camping so my future wife doesn’t kill me.
