Wedding Party
Reid Beard
Maid of Honor
Sister of the bride and her built-in best friend for life. Mattie and Reid have been inseparable for all of their lives and enjoy just about any activity they do together, especially if it involves traveling, shopping, or eating somewhere new. Multiple daily FaceTime calls are an essential along with consulting one another before pretty much every decision. Everything you see here has been approved by both the bride and maid of honor.
Tate O'Brien
Groomsman
Tate and the groom met when Mattie's sister Reid began dating Tate. They quickly realized that their girlfriends were inseparable, and they needed to be friends. What they didn't know at the time is that they would be the ones that were always together, even without the girls.
Joseph Shaner
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom
Gabrielle Mertz
Bridesmaid
Gabby and Mattie became fast friends when they realized the other was just as much of a foodie as themselves. What started as talking at school and going to the occasional dinner together turned into a standing Thursday date night to do whatever they could get into. Their conversations never have a beginning or an end, but instead ongoing and constant communication. Whether it's analyzing the Bachelor or figuring out a school assignment, they make a great team.
George Shaner
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom
Kailey Hall
Bridesmaid
Kailey and Mattie first became friends after sitting together in their Physics I course at Missouri Southern. The two quickly bonded over a desire to go to dental school, and the rest is history. Kailey has always been one of Mattie’s most trusted confidants with no judgment between the two of them for even the hottest takes. Over the years, the two have continued sharing notes, the latest gossip, and many laughs together.
Joshua St. Clair
Groomsman
Lindsey Jones
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and Mattie were instant besties when Mattie was born into being Lindsey’s real life baby doll as her younger cousin. Although the two had no choice when it came to being family, they have always chose to be best friends. They talk every day and have for at least 2,178 days according to their Snapchat streak.
Jonathan Calandro
Man of Honor
Jonathan and Mattie met in second grade and have been attached at the hip for most of their lives. When the two were in school together, you rarely saw one without the other. One fun fact about the pair is that they were voted funniest guy and girl in their graduating high school class. Through the awkward middle school years and an even more awkward freshman winter banquet event, Jon and Mattie have never doubted one another’s friendship or that they were indeed the funniest guy and girl.
