Wedding Party
Sylvia Ellison
Maid of Honor
My mom, my lifelong role model and best friend. Her unwavering love, wisdom, and grace has shaped me into the person I am today, and I couldn't imagine this day without her.
Phoebe Levengood
Bridesmaid
She’s the keeper of a thousand inside jokes and even more embarrassing stories, from playground adventures in 3rd grade to standing by my side on my wedding day, Phoebe has been my forever friend, laughing with me through every joy and lifting me up in every challenge.
Sharmaine Fritz
Bridesmaid
Shar has been a best friend since 7th grade, walking alongside me in faith, laughter, and countless late-night talks about life’s biggest questions (including deciding to date Matthew). From praying together through every season to sharing the most ridiculous laughs, she’s been a constant source of wisdom, joy, and unwavering friendship.
Gabrielle Martin
Bridesmaid
One of my greatest joys in life has been walking alongside Gabbi the past 3 years, she has not only encouraged me in my own journey but has one of the most powerful testimonies. Her heart for Jesus is evident just by seeing her, and I am beyond blessed to have her standing by my side as a bridesmaid, celebrating the love that God has written into this new chapter of my life.
Mia Grifiths
Bridesmaid
I'm so grateful to have my little sister by my side as one of my bridesmaids. Her pure heart, unconditional love, and constant support mean the world to me! She makes everyone around her feel taken care of and safe and that will be such a gift on this crazy day!
Liliana Heusser
Bridesmaid
From playing in the front yard as kids to supporting each other through all of life's big moments, my friend and across-the-street neighbor has been by my side since day 34 of my life.
Kimberly Hosoda
Bridesmaid
My college friend who loves love more than anyone I know, and her infectious joy and support mean the world to me on this special day and all of the planning that has gone into it!
Brittney Owen
Bridesmaid
I am beyond thrilled to have my future sister by my side as one of my bridesmaids. From the moment we met, she has been such a joy and a true friend, and I can’t wait to share this special season with her as we are getting married just a few months apart! I’m sure she’ll help me keep things lively and organized—especially since she’s already got plenty of practice putting up with her brother (Matthew).

Things To Do While In Town
Biggie's Burgers
A Love Story in Grease 🍔❤️ This is where it all began, Matthew and I’s first date! Come for the juicy burgers, stay for the sentimental vibes. Just don’t sit in our booth unless you want to be haunted by the spirit of true love, excessive ketchup consumption, and being started at by strange old men.
San Clemente State Beach
When We Knew⛰️🔥 One of our most intense early conversations happened here on our first date—spiritual warfare, faith, and the battle to be a good human in this crazy world. If you visit, take a moment to reflect, enjoy the ocean breeze, and maybe cast out a demon or two.
South Swell Hand Dipped Ice Cream
The Eye Contact Heard ‘Round the World 🍦👀 This is the very spot where I finally looked Matthew in the eyes, 2 hours into our first date. If you’re lucky, you too may experience a profound, life-altering gaze over a dipped cone. Pro tip: chocolate coating makes everything more romantic.
Los Rios Street Historic District
Cute and Quaint Overload ☕🏡 It’s the oldest neighborhood in California, one of them most unique and beautiful places I have eve been (and has great coffee). Stroll through adorable historic homes, grab a latte, and pretend you’re in a Hallmark movie.
Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens
Fancy Views for Classy People 🏡🌊 Perched on a cliffside, this historic Spanish-style home turned cultural center is perfect for pretending you’re in a telenovela. Enjoy the breathtaking ocean views and imagine Matthew during his time at Camp Pendleton. If you go here, you will be fully immersed in the best of San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente—plus a little slice of Matthew’s past!
Swallow's Inn
Because Every Wedding Party Needs a Dive Bar 🍻🎸 If you need a break from being fancy, head here for country music, questionable taxidermy, and a strong drink. You might see a cowboy line dancing with a surfer, and honestly, that’s the kind of cultural experience you didn’t know you needed.
