Katelyn & Christopher
Wedding Party
Jaymi Fatheree
Maid of Honor
My younger sister and best friend. Ever since we were little, we knew this day would eventually come. She has been my role model, motivation, and idol for longer than I can remember. She is good at everything she does. I’ve always been jealous because she is domesticated and well.. I am not yet. ;) Jaymi also has a way with her words. She helped me write my essay to get into hygiene school. She also is the reason I moved out to AZ. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know where I would be. I haven’t had much of a vision for my wedding day, but one thing I’ve wanted is my sister standing beside me, supporting me, and witnessing the happiest day of my life. I love you Fred ❤️
Anastasia Richards
Matron of Honor
I was blessed to have met Anastasia the night she got engaged. She took me under her wing while Chris went away to Reno and our friendship grew stronger. Anastasia is the type of person that will drop what she is doing to help a person in need. I admire that about her. She is my person and I am so grateful to have her in my life ❤️
Katherine Farris
Bridesmaid
Katherine Ann is like my little sister. We have been so close even when we were so far away from one another. Katherine is the most selfless person. She’s an animal lover, people pleaser, but she will give you her honest opinion. She doesn’t sugar coat anything and I admire that about her. I can confide in her and she will give it to me straight. Whether it’s what I want to or don’t want to hear. And I need that! She’s artistic, smart, and beautiful and I am so lucky to have her standing beside me on my big day ❤️
Alesha Barber
Bridesmaid
I have known Alesha for as long as I have known Chris. Alesha is the type of person you can go days without talking to,then hangout and it is as if no time has passed. Her personality is contagious and her smile can brighten a room. She loves to dance to "Dirty Diana" and does not care about what other people think. Alesha's husband Chad and Chris are best friends. Chris will 9/10 choose Chad over me. As will Chad with Alesha. We have accepted that :)) Alesha and I are #2's for life <3
Chad Barber
Best Man
It really is a small world. I met Chad while attending Iowa Wesleyan College on a baseball scholarship. The first baseball meeting we had for the baseball team, I met Chad. We found out we both grew up in the Phoenix area, and realized that our high schools were about a mile apart and we had played baseball against each other . We wound up only going to college with each other for one semester. We built such a strong bond in that one semester that when I graduated 3 years later and came back to Phoenix, we still had a great relationship. It only grew from there. We have been best friends ever since.
Ryan Richards
Groomsman
As most of you know, the Matusz family is a baseball family. I met Ryan when I was 10 years old while his dad Randy was coaching with my dad Mike. We grew up playing little league baseball together. We have been great friends ever since. We kept in touch while going to separate high schools and when I went off to college, which is not easy. Ryan is one of those guys who will always have your back and always willing to lend a hand when other won't. We can go months or even years with out seeing each other and we pick right back up like it was yesterday.
Brian Matusz
Groomsman
My younger brother and my inspiration. Brian is one of the most giving people I have ever met. He would give you the shirt off his back if needed. He wants the best for everyone around him and would go the extra mile to make that happen. At a young age we did everything together. We had a passion for all sports especially baseball. Even as we got older and established in our careers, we never lost sight of what was important and that was our friendship.
Jesse Lowman
Groomsman
I met Jesse during our freshman year of college in a mens baseball league. We both attended Chandler Gilbert Community College. As we both went off to different universities for the next 3 years, we continued to stay in touch. We now live only a few miles apart. We have both been there for the big accomplishments in our lives together. One being, he became a husband as well as a father.
Ron Palma
Groomsman
After I graduated college, I met Ron when I applied for a job at Cactus Shadows High School. As we were both varsity baseball assistant coaches we hit it off immediately. We both had similar baseball philosophies. During that time we started a youth baseball team to teach young inspiring athletes. Ron and I became very close personally and spiritually as we are both Catholics. Ron and his wife Mitzi had 3 children, Dominic, Gianna, and Luca. I was asked to be Lucas godfather and it is a great privilege and honor to be a part of their family.
Christian Uchytil
Groomsman
For those of you who don't know, Christian is Katelyn's younger brother. Christian and I have many things in common. One being his love for his sister. Christian was protective at first, but we built a bond and I am excited for the future of us being brother in laws. We both love baseball, golf and good conversation. We already have great memories and I am looking forward to many more to come.
