Melissa & Ryan
Wedding Party
Melissa Scarbeary
Bride
Why are you coming to my wedding if you don’t know who I am?? Ha but seriously. Melissa is lots of things. But most importantly, she’s Lucy’s mom, a loving daughter, a caring friend, and a nicu nurse. She likes to cook and bake, she’s her daughters Girl Scout troop leader, she loves to read, be outside with her dogs, and finds joy in her everyday life. She feels beyond blessed to have reconnected with her old friend and realize they were perfect for each other, and is excited for their life together to begin 💜
Ryan Mathias
Groom
Ryan is awesome!! He likes coffee and scrabble, he loves his kids and his family, and he is one of the best people I’ve ever met.
Lucy Scarbeary
Maiden of Honor
Miss Lucy is Melissa’s spunky and lovable 10 year old daughter. She enjoys baking, taking care of animals, riding her bike, craft projects with her mom, and hanging out with her friends. She is super excited to be part of our special day!
Rebecca (aka Becky) Barred
Matron of Honor
Melissa’s best friend since for-e-ver (think the sandlot voice) who has supported her through thick and thin, loves her like a sister, and has had so many adventures with her that they could probably write a book! Unfortunately, Becky won’t be able to physically be with us in Florida, but we will zoom her in and have her with us in spirit!!!
Mistie VanSelow
Maid of Honor
Mistie has been one of Melissa’s besties since they met at Snowball in high school. They may live miles and miles away from each other, but that doesn’t keep them from remaining close friends. Mistie is also Lucy’s birthday twin, and the two of them share a special bond! We sure will miss seeing her smiling face, but we know she will be celebrating in Arizona in spirit with us!!!
Kylie Gerardy
Best dude
Kylie is the sister of the groom. In his own words, she is a “city girl turned farm girl, master archer and best little sister a dude could ask for.”
Oliver Mathias
Honor Attendant
Son of the groom...prankster like his dad....future ceo (we’ve decided his “bossy” tendencies are actually great leadership skills and this kiddo is gonna do amazing things in life). He likes video games and being a kid, he’s a Boy Scout, and he’s a good big brother to Lincoln.
Lincoln Mathias
Honor Attendant
Son of the groom...awesome little athlete, sweet as can be, likes to help Melissa bake cookies whenever he can.
