Melonie & Matthew
Wedding Party
Sara Rose
Bridesmaid
The middle sister and wild child of the family. In 1992, I finally had someone else to blame for my childhood chaos. We shared so many memories in our school age, like driving to school and nearly crashing when a spider fell from the rearview mirror and making our own rap videos in the basement. You have always been supportive and a shoulder to lean on! I'm happy to call you my sister and friend!
Thomas Allott
Best Man
My first friend. We've had many ups and downs but he's without a doubt the first person I'd call when I need help. You're a great husband and an even better brother. Not many people say that they look up to their younger brother, I can, both in height and in life. I couldn't be prouder of you. Even if you are a Chelsea fan..
Kelly Rose
Bridesmaid
The youngest sister and my Florida roommate. We shared so many memories of living together, like drunk kite flying during hurricane Irma, acting like a couple to spare us from getting hit on at the bar, and so much more. We fought as sisters do and stole each others clothes. You, Sara, and I are definitely responsible for giving dad all the gray hairs he has. You may be the baby of the family, but you have always carried a huge supportive role. I'm proud to have you as a baby sister and a friend!
Ryan Gazdag
Best Man
My best friend. A relationship that happened almost by accident in High School turned into 20+ years, probably too many beers, and a lifetime worth of stories. From crazy satellite phone calls when you were in Afghanistan to (not) catching fish on the boat, it has never been a dull moment. I'm proud to call you a brother.
Kristi Allott
Bridesmaid
The newest sister and friend! I couldn't be more happier and honored to have you as a sister-in-law. You have been a supportive friend, sharing your wedding knowledge and also your knowledge of fashion with me! I am proud to have you as a part of my family and I can't wait to share more memories with you!
Conor Burrows
Groomsman
My other younger brother. We were almost forced into being family when our parents met, I'm happy it happened. You are one of the few that understands that cowboy boots can be considered formal, pearl snaps look great, and the girls dig the beard (no matter how much our mothers disagree with us). I couldn't be happier to have you by my side on my wedding day.
Jerry Rose
Father of the Bride
The father and only male in a house full of estrogen. You have been the rock of our family and supported us in our crazy life decisions. You have not only been the best father figure, but also showed us the quality of how a man should be. Thank you for being our biggest supporter and loving us girls the way you do!
Paul Allott
Father of the Groom
My mentor. You’ve shown me the true meaning of hard work. You’ve supported me through all my decisions, both good and bad. Thank you for setting an example for both Tom and I on how to be the best husband and father we could possibly be.
Debra Rose
Mother of the Bride
The leader of the rose estrogen pack. You have been our role model as a wife, mother, and a Christian woman. You have been supportive in all of our decisions and guided us along the way. Your outgoing spirit has pushed us to go above and beyond helping others. Thank you for all your love and always being there for us!
Josie Allott
Mother of the Groom
My rock. People say we’re alike, both of us would probably disagree with that. However, we’re both hard headed, great under pressure, and always take care of people at the end of the day. I know I haven’t always expressed it, but thank you for always having my back and being there for me.
