Melodie & Matthew
Wedding Party
Melodie K Neff
Bride
The bride loves having Naked Champagne Sundays, rocking out to old school country, snuggling with Baby Leo watching Sunday football, and when her Lil' Sizzler tries to do Irish and English impersonations! She has a passion for refinishing couture handbags and specializes in giving Louis Vuitton Vernis and Epi items a second life. You will see some of her custom creations during the Wedding Weekend, that has expanded past luxury handbags. Someday soon she hopes Lil’ Sizzler builds her a room for her handbags, shoes, and sunglasses! She enjoys traveling and causing trouble with her Bestie, WFBs, sticking her finger in The Groom's belly button & tickling his feet when he sleeps, gummy bears, and singing in the shower.
Matthew A Miller
Groom
This high roller....AKA Little Sizzler and Dustin, loves Bush Lattes, smoking meats, scotch, and bourbon, and there isn't a movie quote that will get past him. His award-winning cheesy potatoes, smoked brisket, and spicy queso dip are among his most requested dishes for family holidays. He dreams of winning the lottery to buy a fleet of sublime green Hemi toys. He can be found trying to wrangle the bride and keep her out of trouble on WFBs and holidays. Getting married in Deadwood is a dream come true for this man who loves to bet and gamble it's a Good Run of Bad Luck and not a minute too soon....time to shoot the moon and find love on the bottom line!
Marlyn W Neff
Father of the Bride
Known as the man who can fix anything and if he can't it really is broken!! He has single handedly kept the brides home together for the last 20 years and is delighted to pass the torch to his soon to be son-in-law. The bride is hopeful her dad can transplant all of his knowledge on how to do things to the groom to keep the ship running smoothly. He's not a man of many words but has one hell of a sense of humor so be sure to be on your toes for when he zings one in. A dude who loves Corvette's, antique gas pumps and signs, Bush Latte's with his future son-in-law, and watching Troy Landry with his daughter over the phone on Thursday nights!
Paulette L Neff
Mother of the Bride
Possessing the Holden trait of never going hungry, Momma is always making sure the next meal is planned and everyone is taken care of. Her favorite pastime is to sleep on long car rides and she never has any idea where she is at.....so if you're lost don't ask her for directions! She has a researcher's mind, has to know about all the details, with a love of crafts and shopping! She is always thinking of others and when she's out and about often picks up little gifts that she knows others will love. She proudly wears the Pink Ribbon and the bride gets her love of volunteering for a variety of causes from her mother. This celebration would not be possible without all of the efforts of this amazingly talented woman who asks all the right questions!
Rodney J Miller
Father of the Groom
An amazing carpenter and marksman, the Father of the Groom can be easily spotted with a Wrangler and Bush Latte. He's an avid Sasquatch tour guide in River Falls, WI, and a trapper in the Pacific Northwest. He hopes to expand to Nessy once he retires. "Rocky" is also an outdoorsman who enjoys chasing Jackelope and Snipe hunting with his 4 beautiful grandchildren. He can usually be found in his heated garage playing solitaire and completing other people's projects. It's double if he can't fix it...it's broken!
Karen E Miller
Mother of the Groom
"Mary" Karen is a woman with a heart of gold and is happy to help everyone. The Groom gets his kindness and soft heart from his amazing mother who is also a fabulous Norweigan chef! In addition, she handles all the holiday party event planning. Another amazing craft mind, she gives her Criquet a workout daily and then enjoys a low ball of salted caramel whisky or scotch to celebrate her creative works of art. She is a devoted 5K runner for charity as long as it includes wine.
Baby Leo
Ring Bearer
The Grooms Ring Security, you can find Baby Leo nibbling on daddy’s sausage ears, laying around the house with his dick up like he owns the place, handling all the recycling, running speed laps, working with momma in the office, and just looking cute. He loves to swim in his pool and can be found sunning himself and "Looking for Bitches" around Robbinsdale while campaigning to be the next Mayor. Be careful not to stand downwind when he's eaten daddy's Queso dip! P.S. Will shake for treats!
Collin Graham
Dog Wrangler
A founding member of the Waverly Uptown Jet Ski Club, you can find Collin grabbing air on anything possible! He was a Class C quad racing champion that now races in Class B…..blown motors are his speciality. In his spare time he enjoys breaking beds in Miami, jumping his 1981 Cutlass yard car, and rolling around on his motorized wheelchair. He has no fear so do NOT dare him to jump anything or you're responsible for all medical costs!
Jill M Graham
Maid of Honor
Mrs. Graham is the bride's "Bestie". They often travel together, cause trouble (and are reprimanded), both have a love of WFB's, telling tall tales and playing jokes on others, as well as sporting fantastic coordinating wardrobe selections. She is kind enough to share her three beautiful children, Megan, Tyler, and Collin with the bride and is not short of sassy comments while having a heater. *****DO NOT GIVE THE GREMLIN ANY KIND OF WHISKY***** If you do you are in charge of managing the situation!!!!!!! These two will always ride together and die together....Bad Girls for Life!
Kyle J Miller
Best Man
A successful General Contractor by day and sarcastic standup comedian by night, you can find Kyle drinking a Brandy Seven and telling a tall tale in his garage. He likes a Parliament when he's a little tuned-up and really wants a muscle car but his sensible wife told him no since he's not a responsible driver! AMAZINGLY he is the Best Man even though he let his friends play the "10 Candy Bar Game" on the Groom. Sharing a love for movie quotes with the Groom......"If anything is going to happen it's going to happen out there, boss!'
Holly L Backman
Bridesmaid
A farm girl who likes fast toys and taught her little cousin many things growing up, how to water ski, drive a 3 wheeler (yes you saw that right), and introduced her to the best band EVER.....Motley F*$King Crue!!!! Pretty sure Nikki Sixx wrote Kickstart My Heart for her ......so you'll find Holly with the pedal to the metal in anything with a motor! Oh....and tall, must have HUGE lift kit! She forgets that the bride is a shorty and now has to make a run to get into her truck since it's taller than she is. She is an incredible artist who draws and paints and loves to let her creativity flow. She's an animal lover with many cats and two amazing Great Dane Molly and Reile.
Josh R Miller
Groomsman
Also known as the "Number One Son", Josh is the oldest Miller brother. He has been awarded the annual "Spend Everyone Elses Money Award" for 5 continuous years and coming in strong to sweep 2023 as well. If he's not ice fishing in his Ice Castle he's dreaming or talking about ice fishing!

He is a world-renowned judge on Emma's Chili judging circuit and in his spare time hosts church on Sunday mornings when he's not flipping houses and doing drywall. He is an amazing chef, loves changing up Lisa's playlist to crappy tunes, and can confirm that Dick loves God and God loves Dick! You will need to ask him about that.......
Pastor Steve Piette
Officiant
Able to crank a softball out of the park while smoking a cigar and holding a whiskey, Pastor Steve was once a pro baseball player. Don't let his gentle good looks and cunning smile fool you, this guy is highly competitive from quarters to darts to 1 legged sack racing....and he's always up for going shirtless and painting his chest to support his favorite team. He's a good Samaritan who can always go right but struggles to go left and doesn't' drive a smelly truck. P.S. Someone stole his leather 8 ball jacket, let him know if you happen to see it around town.
