Wedding Party
Marguerite Seidenfaden
Mother of the Bride
My mom is more than just my mom, anyone who knows me knows how much she means to me. She is my first and forever best friend. My mom has always been the one I look to for love, comfort, and strength — the steady light that has guided me through every season of my life. Her unconditional love and support have shaped me into who I am today, and I am endlessly grateful for everything she has done for me. She has been there through every joy and every challenge, always present, always patient, always loving. And in true mom fashion, she actually knew about Matthew before I did — telling me about the sweet and kind boy she crossed every morning and insisting that I should meet him because I'd love him. Turns out, she was right — I guess mothers really do know best 🤍-Michele
William Seidenfaden
Father of the Bride - Heavens VIP
My dad was one of the strongest, most hardworking men I have ever known — a man who loved deeply and gave endlessly for his family. He led by example, showing us what dedication, integrity, and quiet strength truly look like, and I am so proud to be his daughter, carrying pieces of him with me in everything I do. I know without a doubt that he would have loved Matthew and the way he supports, protects, and loves me — what every Dad wants for their little girl. Though he could not be here in person for my wedding day, I know he would never have missed this moment for the world. I believe he is watching over us with a proud heart, smiling, and raising a glass of Dewar’s on the rocks. Always my guardian angel, always part of my story. 🤍-Michele
Jayce Nicholls
Mother of the Groom
My mother is the heartbeat of our family. She's the one who made sure we were fed, dressed, and out the door for every baseball game, band competition, and whatever other sport or event we threw her way. She drove us, cheered for us, and made it all possible in ways I probably still don't fully appreciate. She'll be the first to tell you I don't call her enough, but in my defense, I don't call anyone. What I will say is that some of my favorite memories are the scrapbooks she put together and the stories she would tell about my grandfather, stories that kept him alive for me in ways I wouldn't have had otherwise. She did more for us than we'll ever be able to repay, and I wouldn't be standing here today without her. 🤍-Matthew
Scott Nicholls
Father of the Groom
Everyone says I'm just like my father. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? The jury is still out on that one. His quick wit, terrible jokes, and love for baseball have all been passed down whether I asked for it or not. He's probably going to read this and say "you made all that stuff up," but I know he actually has a giant grin on his face, much like the one he gets when Michele demands a hug from him. I am forever grateful for all the experiences he shared with me that helped raise me into the man I am today. 🤍-Matthew
Nicole Serrapica
Maid of Honor
Nicole and I met in high school and instantly clicked — a connection that felt effortless from the very beginning and has only grown stronger with time. From sitting together in the back row of dental class, trying (and often failing) to not get in trouble for laughing too much, to listening to the new bands she found while on our way to Chemistry, our friendship was built on those little moments that still make me smile. As 1/3 of the infamous trio, she has been with me through it all: the late-night talks, the laughter that hurt our stomachs, the hard moments, and all the unforgettable memories in between. She is my lobster, my forever friend and the only good thing I ever got out of high school. Our friendship is something I cherish deeply, and I feel so lucky to have her in my life. I am beyond honored that she will be standing beside me on my wedding day — just as she has always stood by me through everything else. 🤍- Michele
Cynthia Morrison
Maid of Honor
Cynthia and I have been best friends since Kindergarten, growing up side by side and sharing in all of life’s twists, turns, and adventures. From Girl Scout meetings and childhood milestones to late-night heart-to-hearts sitting in the Wendy’s parking lot, our friendship has been built on moments that shaped us from little girls to the grown woman we are today. As 1/3 of our infamous trio, she has been with me through every chapter — the laughter, the tears, the growing pains, and all the unforgettable moments in between. She has been my constant and my rock for as long as I can remember. Our friendship is something I cherish deeply, and I feel so grateful to have her in my life. I am honored that she will be standing beside me on my wedding day. 🤍- Michele
Christopher Nicholls
Best Man
My brother was my first friend and my first inspiration. The guy who introduced to me the music I still listen to 20 years later, who introduced me to Dragon Ball Z, and the guy who can talk cars and get his hands dirty under a hood without thinking twice. But more than any of that, he's always been there when I needed him. Whether it was listening to my nonsense, sharing what he's learned from his own experiences, or just showing up. There's no one better to stand by my side as I take this next step in my life. 🤍-Matthew
Martha Hohen
Officiant & Grandmother of the Groom
From the very beginning, she welcomed me into the family with open arms, treating me not just as Matthew’s partner, but as a granddaughter and I could never fully put into words how grateful I am to be loved in that way. She holds a special place in both of our hearts, and we couldn’t imagine anyone else to marry us on this day — having Nannie by our side feels like the most meaningful and natural way to step into our marriage together. 🤍-Matthew and Michele
