Melissa & Matthew
Wedding Party
Michael Cherewka
Best Man
The groom's older brother, whom Matt followed everywhere until reaching his early 20s. A doting father and one of the only human beings ever known to actually look good with bleached tips.
Julia Bard
Maid of Honor
The bride's oldest friend (since 6th grade!) and the reason Mel loves The Lord of the Rings. She is a warm and devoted friend, a jubilant and enthusiastic car singer, and the survivor of innumerable ridiculous nicknames courtesy of the bride.
Alex Nadolny
Best Man
The groom's best friend since the first grade and favorite buddy to nerd out with to the point that both of their significant others are concerned. Matt's other other half and second brother by English common law.
Lindsay Campbell
Matron of Honor
One of the bride's best friends from college and a superb hype woman. She is a fiercely loyal dog-mom, casual perfectionist, and could wake up and run a marathon without training and then sip a cool beer afterward like it was no big deal.
Petr Boshinski
Groomsman
One of the groom's best friends from high school and the best damn Air Force optometrist you'll ever meet. Secretly in a long-standing losing war with Matt over everything. Currently obsessed with finding the best beer and sausage in Germany.
Annie Leask
Bridesmaid
One of the bride's best friends from middle school and the person responsible for introducing Mel to Gilmore Girls, Indian food, and the best sweatpants ever created. She is the proud owner of the most amazing cat in the world and a connoisseur of fine cheeses.
Chris Tilley
Groomsman
One of the groom's best friends from high school and the reason Matt got into rugby. You can find him at the bar boasting about his AKC Agility Championship Sealyham Terrier. Ask him about how Matt ruined his first day of school...
Ali Keller
Bridesmaid
One of the bride's best friends from college (and badass Big), this lionhearted New Yorker excels at critically analyzing reality TV with a quick-wit and deadly accuracy. In their old age, Mel and Ali envision quiet evenings on a front porch together, yelling at kids to get off their lawn.
Tyler Campbell
Groomsman
One of the groom's best friends from college that equally enjoys being both a gentleman and a hipster. Sometimes mistaken for Grizzly Adams while chopping wood. Renowned for his refined whiskey palate and professional smoking of red meats.
Meaghan Cherewka
Bridesmaid
The groom's younger sister and the future sister-in-law of one very excited bride. This lover of French baguettes, fruit, and chicken tenders gets the credit for prodding Matthew to ask Mel to dance at Lindsay and Tyler's wedding way back in the day.
Jeff, Trudy, Mike, and Michele
Parents of the Bride and Groom
We are beyond grateful and blessed to have such supportive, fun, and loving parents. Matthew and I feel so lucky to have your marriages as examples to look up to and emulate. We look forward to celebrating with you on our big day!
