Meg and Austin
Wedding Party
Hannah Woodham
Matron of Honor
The eldest of the Mathews clan, Hannah carved out paths for Meg and Jessica to explore growing up. She has always balanced guidance with support from offering up her house for a break from TCU campus, late nights sitting outside and getting real, and to share recipes over the phone.
Jessica Hart
Matron of Honor
Jessica is the middle sister and has perfected the art of supporting both oldest and youngest sister. She is always available to make yoga recommendations, offer encouragement for Meg's job, and play imaginary pan flute along with the radio.
Amanda Gruber
Bridesmaid
Amanda may be Austin's twin sister, but she quickly became a third sister for Meg. Amanda was the first member of Austin's family that met Meg and they quickly bonded over their jobs, shared love of music, design style, and love of elephants.
Connor Jones
Bridesman
Connor is Meg's oldest friend and basically brother. They initially were "forced" to be friends as 8 year olds because their mothers were friends. However, growing up would not be the same without Connor's big laugh, bear hugs, real honesty, and support. He is often one of the first calls Meg makes when she lands back in Texas.
Brian Moore
Best Man
Austin's best friend since sixth grade and his partner in crime, Brian is always there to pull a prank, go fishing, share stories from childhood, and harmonize back in the days of show choir. Brian and Austin have been through many ups and downs in life, but the one constant has been their friendship.
Nate Downs
Groomsman
Nate and Austin met while performing Beauty and the Beast ten years ago at Cornstock Theater in Peoria. He has since become an older brother to Austin and always keeps him in check. Nate and Austin share a love for theater and spending time raiding the DVD bargain bin on Black Fridays.
Nyk Sutter-Downs
Groomsman
Nyk is one of Austin's oldest friends. He and Austin met during Austin's first show, Once Upon a Mattress, almost 20 years ago. Nyk is always available for a sarcastic comment and big hugs for both Austin and Meg.
Luke Jean
Groomsman
Luke and Austin met at Western Kentucky University through the theater department. Luke's apartment became the best place for karaoke nights where Luke would grace everyone with his rendition of Britney Spears' "Lucky". Austin and Luke enjoy catching up about podcasts, brews, music, and their ever-present rivalry between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Nashville Predators (maybe one day they will win a cup).
All the others!
