Ashlyn & Matthew
Wedding Party
Brisa Brinton
Bridesmaid
I'm Ashlyn's big sister by 4 years. Even though we are polar opposites, she is still my baby sister and I love her. My favorite memories together are our family vacations with our parents and we laughed the entire trip. I'm so happy Ashlyn found Matthew because they fit together perfectly and bring out the best in each other. I look forward to seeing them grow as a couple in the coming years.
Michael Cerrone
Groomsman
Michael is the spunky, rambunctious, and wildly hilarious younger brother to Matthew. He loves theater, singing, acting, dancing, making people laugh, and is an overall joy to be around. He constantly tells jokes and works part time at Hobby Lobby, as well as volunteers at Sun City West Christian Church. Michael is thrilled to be apart of Matthew and Ashlyn's big day!
Megan Flanagan
Bridesmaid
I met Ashlyn about 6 years ago in high school! Its funny looking back because we actually didn't hang out much during high school, it was once we graduated when we became best friends. She's the sweetest, most beautiful person I've ever met. She's the one person I can truly count on for anything. We get along so well and have just about everything in common. I am so lucky to have met someone like Ashlyn. I love out friendship so much and I know we will be friends for life!
Christian Cerrone
Groomsman
Christian is the second youngest brother to Matthew. Tall, and more on the strong-silent side, Christian is a wonderful person to be around and once you get to know him he'll bless you with his amazing piano skills! In addition to working part time at Hobby Lobby, Christian also partakes in the theater lifestyle with most recently starring in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Matthew and Ashlyn are so happy he can be a part of this wedding!
Alicia Vankempen
Bridesmaid
I met Ashlyn 3ish years ago in design school! The moment I met her I knew she was special! It's not often you meet such a genuinely nice and positive person who is confident in themselves and those are the kind of people I believe we need to surround ourselves with and Ashlyn is just that!
Nick Hubenthal
Groomsman
Nick has been one of Matthew's closest friends over the years. Despite growing up and having adult responsibilities thrown into their lives they never can seem to grow apart. Nick and Matthew met in Kindergarten but didn't quite start becoming close until 7th grade. They quickly bonded with video games and music tastes being similar. They have both taken several vacations together with each other's families and Matthew is honored to have one of his closest friends share in this amazing day!
Darrean Sweeney
Bridesmaid
I met Ashlyn through her fiancé Matt. Matt is like an other brother to me. When I found out he was dating someone, I was like I HAVE TO MEET HER. Once we hung out, I instantly clicked with her. I love how much her and Matt love God and how much they have grown together. I think my favorite times with Ashlyn are when we are chatting about life and drinking coffee. She is truly a genuine, sweet, gorgeous, wonderful gem of a woman!
Evan Rogers
Groomsman
Evan and Matthew met in 3rd grade and became close friends over time. Bonding as well over video games and spending countless years at Evan's annual New Year's Eve block party, Matthew and Evan have become life long friends. Though life's responsibilities has made it more difficult to hang out, Matthew and Evan still find time to hang out often and are constantly at the gym together! Matthew can't wait for Evan to be apart of his big day, and vice versa when Evan's wedding rolls around!
Cadence Cerrone
Jr. Bridesmaid
Cadence is Matthew's darling little sister! Although she's years younger than him, they are almost exactly alike. An absolute joy and radiant life in Matthew's life, he cherishes the little sister he always prayed for! He's so happy with the way she's growing up and the amazing young woman she's becoming. She is involved in theater and is about to start 7th grade come this fall! Cadence views Ashlyn as the big sister she's always wanted and both Matthew and Ashlyn are thrilled she's a part of their wedding!
Troy Lasswell
Groomsman
Matthew and Troy met in 1st grade, if memory serves correctly. Miss Lindsay's class is where it all began with these two. People constantly mistook them for brothers when they were younger, and if they didn't live in different homes you would probably guess the same. Troy and Matthew constantly have a great time when they get together with the rest of their friend group. Many birthday parties at Troy's house and all-nighters playing Halo 3 at Troy's house are just a few highlights of their friendship. Matthew is honored Troy can be a part of this amazing day!
Kenedee Shire
Flower Girl
Kenedee is my smart, beautiful and adventurous 2nd cousin who is 5 years old!! She loves to golf, dance, sing and do gymnastics. She has the sweetest soul and has brought so much joy and laughter to my life! I can't wait for her to be a part of my wedding looking like a princess while she walks down the isle! She says she will work really hard to be the best flower girl in the history of flower girls! I love you Kenedee!
Chase Gielda
Groomsman
Chase, wise beyond his years and towering over everyone he meets (because he's 6'7") will often ask how your life is and if you've found your purpose. Fascinated with the philosophical part of life, Chase and Matthew bond in a more intellectual way rather than just video games. Matthew and Chase met in 3rd grade and have been fantastic friends ever since! Late nights discussing life while playing video games on the Wii or Xbox have brought countless memories to this lifelong friendship. Matthew is honored to have Chase apart of this joyous day!
Tyson Cerrone
Ring Bearer
Tyson is Matthew's youngest cousin on his dad's side. Tyson is 8 years old and spunky ball of fire who loves to wrestle with his older cousins and loves playing video games like Fortnite and Lego Marvel Superheroes! He and Matthew's uncle are always over having family day on Sunday's and enjoying fun times swimming and hanging out with the Cerrone family! He's super excited to be a part of the wedding party and a part of Matthew and Ashlyn's special day!
Aaron Schwartz
Groomsman
Aaron, darkly humorous and Guinness/gin/tattoo aficionado is a great guy. Creative and highly artistic, Matthew knew that he and Aaron would be life long friends. They met while both working part time at Hobby Lobby and have spent many laugh-filled nights enjoying a few beers, playing video games and singing karaoke. Aaron has quickly become one of Matthew's closest friends in just a few short years and sharing almost the exact same birthday they have become inseparable. Matthew can't wait for Aaron and one of his many bow ties to be a part of this amazing day!
Dennis Burch
Father of the Bride
As father of the bride it seems surreal that my “Ashie” is getting married. It seems like yesterday we were cheering her on as she danced, sang and played that guitar. She will always be my pookie and beautiful little girl no matter where life takes her. I’m blessed to be Ashlyn’s father and proud of the woman she’s become. It’s definitely a God thing that Mathew came into her life making this transition an easy one!
Jana Burch
Mother of the Bride
I’m the proud mama of the bride of my youngest daughter, Ashlyn Brooke. When my little mini-me was young, she filled her world and those around her with music, dance, love, and laughter and although it was also full of many twists and turns it has made her the strong and sweet girl she is today. Ashlyn maybe leaving the nest, but ready for the best – a wonderful new chapter with her man. I couldn’t be happier for her that she has found the one whom her soul loves!
Robert Cerrone
Father of the Groom
Arguably Matthew's best friend in life, his dad has been his rock and his mentor. With only 22 years in age difference they could honestly be brothers! Matthew's dad has guided him successfully and trained him well in many aspects of life. Whether it's providing him a well-cultured background full of comic book movies, Star Wars, Thundercats, He-Man and countless video games. Or just life lessons in general with how to respect people, be a leader and serve the Lord daily, Matthew couldn't have asked for a better father in this life. He's honored to have his dad be a part of this amazing day!
Jeanne Cerrone
Mother of the Groom
Matthew's amazing mother has been fantastic raising the four Cerrone children over the years. Despite having Matthew at the age of 23, she's been a gracious and amazing guide and mother to her children. Taking them to church weekly, helping them get ready for school, making countless meals and making sure that Matthew and his siblings had an amazing childhood are just a few of the reasons why Matthew has an amazing mother. Matthew is eager to have his mom be at the wedding and to share in one final dance, with a song she's always loved, before Matthew starts his own life at the same age she did.
Steven Eynon
Officiant
Steven volunteers at our church, CCV. Although we both met him at different points in our life, he wound up being someone we both mutually became close to over time. He's the First Impressions Pastor and an overall great guy! Always greeting people with a hug, handshake or fist bump, he's a rock solid guy and we are honored that he will be joining us at the altar and officiating our wedding! We couldn't think of a better person to marry us. Can't wait to hear his words of wisdom come November when we tie the knot!
