Felicia & Matthew
Wedding Party
Ted Simko
Best Man
Matthew, you are my son and my best friend. I can’t imagine my life without you. You are kind, strong, and have a big heart. Don’t ever change. Felicia, when I first met you, I knew you and Matthew were meant for each other. You are a very caring, smart, and beautiful young woman. I’m proud to have you as part of my family. You are both wonderful parents and love my beautiful granddaughter Skylar Rose very much! I love you both!!

Among many other pleasant things, my sister Felicia is absolutely crazy. Truly one of a kind. I’ve always wondered if she would ever stumble upon someone who matches her energy and just before giving up, Matthew came along. They love one another with their whole hearts; I’ve never seen two people compliment each other so well. After 4 long years of being engaged, the day has finally come for them to tie the knot and I’m beyond proud to say I will now have two crazy siblings.

I’m Matthew’s younger brother. Him and I have a really tight relationship. Matthew and Felicia mean a lot to me and I’m glad they are getting married.

Felicia is more than a cousin, she is like a little sister to me. We spent our childhood together and I have so many funny memories thanks to her. From drooling in my oatmeal, to showing me her cartwheel, to becoming a mother to Sky, she has always done everything with determination and lots of love. I am so proud of the beautiful woman she is and am grateful to stand with her on her special day.

I met both Matt & Felicia at In-N-Out as their manager. Even though it started off rough because I made Felicia work with cockroaches while taking orders outside in the drive-thru and she hated me for it. That didn't stop Matt & I from quickly becoming best friends. My favorite memories with Matt come on the golf course, I’ll leave that to your imagination. Matt is one of the realest people you’ll meet. I strive to be a father like him one day. The way he talks about you Felicia, your going to be given the world! Congratulations!

From inseparable childhood best friends to cousins. Some how I feel like the younger us manifested that. We’ve been by each others side since 8 years old and I’m so honored to be by your side on your wedding day. Wishing you a full and blessed life together.

I have known Matt since he was in middle school. We are Ex teammates and best friends, we’ve battled through all the challenges making us exceptional athletes and close friends. The earliest memory I’ve had with Matt was at a Football Camp, the last play of the game, Matt threw me a hail Mary TD to win the game. One memory that I’ll never forget is when Matt showed up as a true friend when I got knocked out during a homecoming football game and showed his support for me. I haven’t had a chance to truly be around Felicia and Matt during their relationship but I am grateful to be there for the big day. I am super excited for Felicia And Matt. I can’t wait to enjoy the moment with them and their family.

Felicia and I met in high school and quickly became inseparable, spending countless hours with one another. Luckily, nothing has changed... other than the fact that I now live 1,000 miles away. She has been my virtual shoulder to cry on at any given moment. Being front row for her and Matthew’s life together thus far has been beautiful, and I can’t wait to continue to watch the two of them grow and flourish.

Working at In-N-Out with Matt has provided me with a life long friend and a beautiful Goddaughter. Congratulations to you and Felicia, may you two have a long and fruitful marriage.

I met Felicia about 7 years ago, where I thought I was just helping out a random girl at a party. Little did I know she would be one of my best friends ever since and I would be there the day she gave birth and now standing beside her when she gets married to the love of her life.

It all started back at Mt. SAC. We were all just some young kids trying to get through school. The best part is, along the way we meet people that’ll be in our lives long after school, work, etc. Matt & Felicia had a twinkle in their eye for each other from the beginning. The family that has been created here is one that’ll last a lifetime. Excited to watch the two of you raise an awesome family. You guys are an inspiration to us all. Thank you.

Wow, where do I even begin to recap how the last 6 years have been?! I met Felicia back in 2014 when we were both cheering for the Mt. SAC Cheer Team. Early on in our friendship we shared many nights at football games, unforgettable collegiate cheer experiences and amazing music festival memories, which lead to meeting Matt. Although I don't remember the exact day of meeting Matt, I remember our 2015 Las Vegas EDC trip, which was the beginning of forever for Matt and Felicia. Now, after tons of life changing experiences, love & laughter, the friendship I have with these two continues to flourish & grow through all the seasons of life. I’m honored to be a part of the most monumental moment in their love and I’m excited to see what the future holds for the Simko family.

I met Matt a couple of years ago through work and I don’t think I’ve ever hit it off with someone as quick as I did with him. He’s definitely been one of my closest friends especially because we’re always messing around with each other. We always try to go golfing as much as we can. Through the past couple of years he he still never been able to beat me.
Jamie Gutierrez
Bridesmaid
I met Felicia when we had some of the same classes and started cheering together our junior year of high school. We’ve made so many fun memories, but one of my favorites is going to EDC together where I also met Matt. I’ve loved staying so close to them throughout the years and love that I get to be a part of Sky’s life too. Felicia and Matthew, I love you guys so much and I wish you both so much happiness in this life. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

Matthew is my big brother even though we are far apart in age we still have a close relationship.I love having Felicia in my life because she is the big sister I’ve never had . I love seeing them together because you can tell they make each other happy I’m so happy that they’re getting married.
Skylar Rose Simko
Flower Girl
Skylar Rose is the daughter of Felicia and Matthew. She is the absolute light of their life. I think we can all agree that from the moment Sky was born, she has done nothing but bring pure joy into this family. Anyone who meets her falls in love with her caring and loving personality. Skylar Rose is excited to be the flower girl at her mommy and daddy's wedding.
Christian Ruiz
Officiant
Christian is very important to Felicia and Matthew. He is Felicia's uncle and one of Matthew's best friends. If you know Christian, you know that there is never a dull moment when you are with him. Felicia and Matthew couldn't think of a better person to officiate their wedding.
