Hi, I'm Isabelle! Both Abbey's sister and maid of honor. I'm currently a senior at Northwood University studying fashion merchandising. Outside of school I love to golf, travel, and spend time with my favorite people. I can't wait to celebrate Matt and Abbey in December and I'm honored to be apart of their special day.
Shannon O'Flynn
Bridesmaid
Hello there, I’m Shannon! I am a native Michigander, but transplanted myself to Austin Texas after graduating from Central Michigan University. When I’m not working (which is rare), I spend my time hiking around central Texas, two stepping at the dance hall and baking new recipes. I have been friends with Abbey since my freshman year at CMU. She has been a close friend, roommate and mentor for me and I am so honored to be a part of her special day with Matt.

Hi! I’m Kelsey. I’m Abbey’s oldest cousin on the Newbury side and Rachel’s sister:) I’m an athletic trainer at Virginia Tech working with the Women’s volleyball team. This keeps me super busy but when I have some free time, I enjoy reading, Wine Wednesdays with my friends, and visiting friends and family in Michigan! I’m so honored and excited to be a part of Matt and Abbey’s big day and can’t wait to celebrate!

Hi, I'm Rachel! I am Abbey's cousin and Kelsey's sister. I currently live in the metro Detroit area and am a nightshift NICU nurse.

I am so excited to be a part of Matt and Abbey's special day, and can't wait to celebrate them!

Brandon Polich
Groomsman
It feels like Bliss and I have been friends forever, but we actually met during my Freshman year of college, his Sophomore. It was an entire year before I officially understood that Bliss was his actual last name, and his first name was Matt of all things. We didn't really get close until the next year when we played on the CMU club hockey team together. It's been history ever since. Long periods go by without us talking, but every time we're able- it's like we never missed a beat. Love you forever brother!
Brennen Sawer
Usher
Hi, I'm Brennen, Abbey's honorary brother and Matt's soon to be brother in law. I'm a carpenter and love the outdoor and spending time with friends and family. Mainly the Newbury family. I can't wait to be apart of Abbey's special day.
