Matthew & Michael
Wedding Party
Alexandra Bower
Maid of Honor
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio Alex is Matthew's only sister, lovingly referred to as "Daledandra" when Matthew was an infant. She attended the University of Maryland with Matthew, and now lives in Arlington, VA. She has returned to UMD to receive her masters degree in Library and Information Sciences. She is the co-parent of two crazy cats, Brad Stevens and Champion (Finn & Linc's cousins). She loves to read and growing up she would enjoy being grounded to her room so she could read more.
Emily Frenzel
Maid of Honor
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius Emily is Michael's eldest sister and one of his Maids of Honor. Michael gives all credit to Emily for inspiring his love and passion for parties and event planning. Emily lives in Center Valley, PA, where she recently moved with her husband Zach and their pets Benji, Penny, and Luna (Finn & Linc's cousins). M & M were so excited to hear that the Frenzels were moving to the LV, and lived only 1 mile away while they were living in Allentown! Emily is an avid golfer and played D1 golf during her years at Bucknell University.
David Conway
Man of Honor
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio David is Matthew's only brother and Man of Honor. He currently lives in Fort Riley, Kansas with his wife, Sierra, daughter, Olivia, and their cat, Charlie (Finn & Linc's cousin). These days, David can be found working remotely for Mystery.org, where he pursues his passion for helping others through technology. Growing up, David and Alex would pull out Matthew's hair to see who got the longest strand - this persisted until Matthew developed a bald spot. Little known fact: David and Matthew were child models in Italy (while Alex wasn't, obviously).
Sarah Chiodo
Maid of Honor
Zodiac Sign: Taurus Sarah is the middle child of the Chiodo clan, and is one of Michael's Maids of Honor. Sarah is one of the craftiest people M & M knows, and always is up for a challenge, like making our wedding cake! Sarah currently lives in Lancaster, PA with her cat Ginny (Finn & Linc's cousin). Sarah has always had a love for animals, starting back to when she worked at Petsmart and was the fish expert! Michael continues to call his sister the "Mother Teresa of animals" because she's never met a critter that she doesn't like.
Lily Braun
Groomsmaid
Zodiac Sign: Taurus Lily lived with Michael & Matthew (and Maddie!) during their final year in College Park. Lily is M & M's ultimate third wheel and is always Matthew or Michael's plus one when the other isn't around. She attended Lehigh University (conveniently a few minutes away from where M & M moved after Maryland). Lily currently lives in the DC area to continue her career of becoming a school psychologist. Like M & M, Lily enjoys the finer things, such as murder mystery documentaries, our pet cat Finn, and boxed wine.
Rocky Riley
Groomsman
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio Michael met Rocky in eight grade through mutual friends, and quickly became besties. Michael and Rocky have gone through pretty much everything together, and Rocky was always along for the ride during Michael's crazy plans. After high school, Rocky and Michael continued to be just as close, especially with the additions of their significant others. While he is usually very calm, Rocky is the ultimate hype man. Rocky currently lives in Lititz, PA with his wife Krista, dog Tessa, and newborn son Brayden. Rocky's love for L.I.T.s and Jersey Shore are unparalleled.
Maddie Guy
Groomsmaid
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio Maddie Guy is our favorite fungi (Fun-GUY) and lived with M & M (and Lily!) during their final year at Maryland. She works at the University of Maryland in the Geography department and just received her Masters in Geographic Information Systems. Maddie and Matthew met their freshman year and quickly bonded in their Greek Mythology course. Her favorite band is Panic! at the Disco and has seen them in concert 4 times. And don't even get her started on her favorite Shrek movie (it's clearly Shrek 2).
Nick Harmer
Groomsman
Zodiac Sign: Cancer M & M's hairiest friend, Nick attended the University of Maryland with Matthew, where their relationship started out...rocky, but quickly blossomed into a great friendship. As soon as he met Michael they became fast friends, and has essentially been adopted as the new addition to the Bower family. He currently attends Salisbury University and is working on his masters in social work. Nick is one of the funniest people that M & M knows, and he enjoys singing, gardening, and getting locked in garages.
Josh Magness
Groomsman
Zodiac Sign: Pisces Josh attended the University of Maryland with Matthew where they lived together their sophomore year. Matthew and Josh met their freshman year where they immediately became close friends, playing hours of Mario Cart and Super Smash Bros on Josh's gamecube. Josh has the ability to make anyone feel included, and makes any uncomfortable situation comfortable and familiar - one of the reasons that Matthew drew to him so closely. He currently works at McClatchy in DC as a journalist and lives with his boyfriend Jake and dog Jezzie. His knowledge of pop culture is unsurpassed, as is his love for sushi.
Cassie Sobutka
Groomsmaid
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius Cassie met Michael at Arcadia University where they studied together in London together as first year students. While waiting for their flight to depart, they decided to have a photoshoot together on their laptop webcams (despite not knowing each other that well), and the rest was history. Cassie and Michael became even closer during their art history course, as well as bonding over their shared love of strawberry cider. Currently living in Boston, MA, Cassie is one of the funniest people M & M knows, and they love her passion for fashion.
Connor Holohan
Groomsman
Zodiac Sign: Pisces Matthew and Connor met through their Athletic Training program at Moravian College and quickly became friends through their love for One Direction (RIP) and Vine (RIP). Early on, Michael and Connor bonded by taking selfies together while Matthew was sleeping. Connor is currently an Athletic Trainer at Salisbury University. Matthew and Connor share the exact same size in clothes, tripling Connor's closet selections (Unsurprisingly, Matthew definitely has more clothes).
Maggie Koester
Groomsmaid
Zodiac Sign: Leo Maggie attended the University of Maryland with Matthew, where she lived with Alex from their sophomore year to their senior year, and currently lives with Alex, Brad Stevens, and Champion in Arlington, VA. Her love and passion for political justice fits perfectly with her future career as a lawyer which she is currently pursuing as a law student at George Mason University. Maggie once fell off of her stool at brunch, and the only person we know that can match her volume is Matthew's mother, Jeanne.
Jordan Sweeney
Groomsman
Zodiac Sign: Cancer Matthew met Jordan through their... difficult and trying times in their Athletic Training program. Jordan is one of those people who you can always rely on if you want or need someone to hang out with - something that Michael and Matthew knew made him a quality person. M & M saw that quality progress even further when he met his girlfriend Krisella - our fave hula girl. Their doggo, Blaire, and Lincoln hit it off immediately, becoming best friends! Jordan will occasionally ask M & M for fashion advice - making them feel like the 6th and 7th Queer Eye additions!
