Matty & Collin
Wedding Party
Matty
Bride
I present to you, the bride! Matty Miller!!! Woooooooo! Clap clap clap! Matty and I have gone through many phases of life together, from high school, to college, and now adulthood. Through it all she has stayed by my side, and soon, she will be my bride! She is my coffee date, snuggle buddy, hiking pal, and lifting partner. We’ve traveled across the country together, and her family has become like my own. Matty is beautiful, funny, and caring. Above all else, she has a big heart which brings out the best in everyone around her. Matty is one of a kind, and I can’t wait for us to spend the rest of our lives together.
Collin
Groom
I present to you the groom, the one and only, Collin Campbell! Collin and I have gone to school together since elementary school, and one of my earliest memories of him was doing yo-yo tricks in the front of our seventh grade Algebra class. We started getting to know each other in late high school and we instantly became friends while on a school field trip for calculus class. We then went to the same college and created memory after memory at Purdue. Collin is one of the most genuine, smartest, and funniest guys around. He is down for any type of adventure, big or small, and he is a guy you can always count on. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Collin!
Hallie
Matron of Honor
Hallie is somebody I couldn't imagine my life without. She is kind, thoughtful, and always down for a good time! Hallie and I met at Indian Creek Baptist Camp back in the day. Our friendship started to take off when we had to work hot, endless days and nights at the camp. Hallie and her husband recently moved to the Purdue area, so we get to watch reruns of Gilmore Girls at any time now! I am honored to know someone like Hallie. There is nobody else that I would rather vent to in a pantry or eat frozen cookie dough with. She's my ride or die and I can't wait for her to be by my side on my wedding day!
Michael
Best Man
What can you say about a great guy like Big Mike? In high school, he was near the top of our graduating class, he was a dedicated athlete, and he even had a rock band! We became good friends during our junior year, and soon after he introduced me to Matty. I am fortunate to have been Mike’s roommate all four years at Purdue. We both decided to pursue electrical engineering, so it was nice to work on assignments with him. When Mike and I weren’t studying, we enjoyed firing up our barbeque grill and watching TV. Mike is a cool guy, and I’m thankful to have him as my best man.
Leanna
Bridesmaid
Leanna is my oldest sister. Which is funny because she is way hipper than I am and keeping up with the trends. Leanna is loyal, kind, and an advocate for others. Leanna went to Evansville for college where I have memories of visiting her, which include introducing me to Azzip Pizza which changed my life forever. Plus, she also has her sweet dog Lyla that Collin and I adore. I look up to Leanna and my other sister, Laura, in so many ways and I couldn't imagine a life where I didn't have my sisters by my side. Leanna, thank you for being a part of my special day!
Casey
Groomsman
Casey is my older brother, and I’ve looked up to him for as long as I can remember. Growing up, he inspired me to play guitar, start lifting weights, and learn to snowboard. Currently, these are a few of my favorite hobbies; I’m glad that Casey and I have similar interests. Some of my favorite memories of Casey are playing Mario Kart with him at Nana’s house, building tree forts in the woods with our friends; more recently, snowboarding with him during our family’s annual ski trips. We had lots of fun together as kids, and we still do as adults.
Laura
Bridesmaid
Laura is the middle child of the Miller clan. Laura and I grew closer once she started school in Indy and she was living at home. I remember those days fondly. We used to go to Culver's at least once a week and she would drag me for any and every errand that she had to run (which usually involved a Target pickup). I know I can always count on Laura for advice and vent to her about anything. Laura also is the proud owner of my sweet dog niece, Daisy. Collin loves her as well and we love any chance we get to visit with her! I was honored to be a part of Laura's big day and now she gets to be a part of mine!
Lucas
Groomsman
Lucas is my BIL, and he is also the life of the party. Lucas walks into a room, and he instantly lights it up with energy and passion for life. When I come visit my siblings in GA, I feel right in my place since Lucas has on football 24/7. I love talking football with Lucas and I love when I am there on Sundays during football season, so I can watch the Colts with him. I also admire Lucas for the way he treats my sister. Lucas is the perfect addition to our family, and I can't wait for him to party alongside Collin and I for the big day!
Makenzie
Bridesmaid
Edith!!!!! Known to most as Makenzie, I've been coming up on about seven years of friendship with Makenzie (Edith). Our friendship started at Indian Creek in 2018. She was a cabin leader, and I found out she liked corn dogs, so I antagonized her with dozens of corn dogs to eat because I didn't want to waste our precious camp food!!! Our friendship has continued throughout the years with meeting up and remaining constants in one another's lives with texting/calling each other. When Collin and I got engaged, we had plans to meet so I decided to wait to tell her, and it was so special to see her reaction in person. Throughout the years, Makenzie has become one of my closest friends and I cherish our friendship. Edith, thank you for taking part in our special day!!
Garrett
Groomsman
Garrett is the husband of our officiant, Nikki, and the father of our flower girl, Eliza. Nikki and Garrett started dating when I was in Nikki's youth group and let me tell you.... I wasn't a fan. And Garrett has nothing to do with this. I just thought he was going to break my Nikki's heart, or he was going to take her away from me. Both of those were FAR from the truth! Once Nikki and Garrett got engaged, I started getting to know Garrett more and he instantly became one of my favorite people. Garrett is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, and I am so excited for him to be a part of Collin and I's big day!
Nikki
Officiant
I just have to give a specific shoutout to our officiant, Nikki Edrington Shover!! Nikki was Collin and I's youth pastor. Nikki and her husband, Garrett, have become two of our best friends. She has been a great mentor to me throughout the years, and it has been an honor to get to know her and know that she is someone I can always rely on. I am thankful for the many nights that I have gotten to chat and share life with her and Garrett. I have loved watching them become parents to sweet Eliza as well! Nikki is someone I have known for a long time, and I can't wait for her to marry Collin and me!
Eliza
Flower Girl
Oh, my sweet niece, Eliza. You are quite literally the cutest lil bean I have ever laid my eyes on! Your parents are the coolest, which makes you the coolest by association and plus you have the coolest aunt and uncle so... it all adds up. Your smile is contagious, and you bring joy to every room you are brought into. I have a feeling that there will be coffee dates in our future, and we will get to grow close like I have with your parents. Collin and I talk highly of you, and we can't wait to see what you grow up to be! I can't wait for you to be the flower girl!
Brendan
Ring Bearer
Brendan is my second cousin on my dad's side. Collin and I are so excited for Brendan to be our ring bearer! It's extra special to us because we have been able to watch him grow up. Brendan is very chatty and will talk to Collin and me about anything and everything (mostly about numbers and letters). There have been many Thanksgivings/Christmas's that we have sat on the ground with him and his sister to play rather than talk to the grown-ups... just being honest. That to say, we are big fans of Brendan, and we can't wait for him to a part of our wedding party! His parents are both Purdue graduates, so that is also an added bonus too :)
