Wedding Party
Kioni Davis
Maid of Honor
Kioni has been my best friend since I was 12 years old, which means she’s been by my side through so many different seasons of my life. She’s seen every version of me, every phase, every change and has loved me through all of it with a kind of loyalty that’s so rare and special. From the very beginning of my relationship with Matthew, she welcomed him into our lives with open arms, and that meant more to me than I can even put into words. She’s been there for all the big moments, but also for the little ones like our random side quests, the late-night talks, and every time I need to vent about life’s annoyances. She listens without judgment and supports without hesitation. Having her as my Maid of Honor is so special to me, because she’s not just my best friend, she’s been a constant in my life for years, and I truly don’t know what I would do without her.
Sam Allgood
Best Man
Sam has been such a steady and meaningful presence in our lives. During a time when we were going through a lot, he gently encouraged us to start going to church and that decision changed everything for us. Because of him, our faith has grown so much stronger, and we now share something incredibly special in our relationship with the Lord. He faithfully joins us every Sunday, and his presence is something we truly value. Beyond that, he’s the kind of person you can always count on. Whether it’s helping Matthew figure out whatever’s going on with his car (which seems to be often) or just being there when needed, he shows up without hesitation. His dependability, kindness, and the role he’s played in our lives make him someone we’re endlessly grateful for, and we couldn’t imagine this day without him standing by our side.
Autumn Fortunat
Bridesmaid
My sister is someone I’ve always looked up to, and that’s never changed. No matter where life has taken us, I’ve always admired her strength, the way she carries herself, and the path she’s created for her life. I’m so incredibly proud of the person she is. Even though we don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like, she will always hold such a special place in my heart. Having her here to be part of this moment means so much to me, and I’m so happy she’ll be standing by my side on such an important day.
Cameron Mitchell
Groomsman
My brother… where do I even begin? Growing up together means we’ve shared a lifetime of memories, from the chaotic and funny to the moments that really mattered. No matter what, he’s always been a constant in my life. There’s something so special about having a sibling who just gets you, someone who’s seen you at your best, your worst, and everything in between. He’s been there through it all, and that kind of bond is something I’ll always be grateful for. I’m so happy to have him standing by my side on such an important day.
Lindsey Reed
Bridesmaid
Lindsey is Matthew’s cousin, but truly more like a sister to him. Their bond is so special, and it’s been really meaningful to see the role she’s played in his life over the years. She has always been kind and welcoming, and it means so much to be surrounded by people who love and support Matthew the way she does. We’re so happy to have her be part of this day and stand alongside us as we celebrate.
Bryce Braun
Groomsman
Bryce has been one of Matthew’s closest friends since high school, and their friendship has stood the test of time through every season of life. From the highs to the lows, he’s been there through it all, which says so much about the kind of person he is. Over the years, they’ve shared countless laughs, memories, and unforgettable moments together. Bryce has always been incredibly supportive of Matthew, and it means so much to have someone like that by his side. I’m so grateful for the friendship they share, and so happy to have Bryce standing with us on such a special day.
Paige Leske
Bridesmaid
Paige has been part of my life for as long as I can remember because our moms have been such good friends, I’ve had the blessing of knowing her since I was a child, which makes having her stand by my side even more special. She has always been so kind, warm, and easy to be around. One thing I’ve always appreciated about her is how welcoming she’s been and not just to me, but also to Matthew. That kind of genuine kindness doesn’t go unnoticed, and it means so much to both of us. It truly makes me happy to have her as part of such an important moment.
Liam McCoy
Groomsman
Liam has been one of Matthew’s closest friends for years. What really stands out about Liam is the way he’s always striving to grow and constantly working to better himself and the people around him. He brings a sense of motivation and positivity into the lives of those around him, and that’s something that doesn’t go unnoticed. His support and encouragement have meant so much to Matthew over the years, and it’s been so special to see the kind of friendship they share.
Yara Dabit
Flower Girl
This sweet girl holds such a special place in my heart. I met her when she was just 18 months old and from the very beginning, she’s brought so much love and joy into my life. I’ve always known I wanted to be a mom one day, and in so many ways, she’s filled a part of my heart I didn’t even realize was waiting for her. I absolutely adore her personality, her little bit of sass, mixed with the sweetest, most loving heart. One of the things that means the most to me is the trust she has in me. The way she knows she can run to me when she’s upset or needs comfort is something I will never take for granted. I will always be someone she can feel safe with, someone who will protect her and love her no matter what. Having her be part of this day means more to me than I can fully put into words. I hope as she grows up, she always knows just how deeply she is loved and how much she truly means to me.
