Abigail & Matthew
Wedding Party
Sky
Flower Girl
Sky is the smartest dog you will ever meet. Matt has had her for 5 years and counting and we always say she is part human. Our little family would not be complete without her. She is our dog and our friend, and we wouldn't dream of having anyone else be our flower girl.
Bear
Ring Bearer
Meet our Ring Bear, the Bear himself. We always say Sky is just like Matt... calm, cool, collected, more introverted and incredibly intelligent. Bear is just like Abigail... overly energetic, super eager to meet anyone and everyone, and his cuteness and unwavering affection is the only thing that makes up for what a spazz he is. We bought the Bear when he was just a pup and our little family would not be complete without his cuddles and energy.
Kristen Alford
Maid of Honor
Kristen was my first best friend and she has been my main girl since 6th grade. We have been through everything together and whether we have been living 5 minutes away from each other or have only gotten to see each other a few times a year, our friendship has done nothing but grow stronger over the years. She is the first (and often times only) human I go to for advice. I joke with her that she is the female version of Matt and that I need her in my life so much that I decided to fall in love with the male version of her so that I will always have her with me in some way!
Kevin Olmeda
Best Man
I met Kevin in the OBU baseball cages and we have been friends ever since. We came to know the Lord around the same time and he has had a huge impact on my relationship with the Lord and my Christian walk. He let me live with him in his one bedroom apartment when I had to get out of a negative living situation and he has been an incredible friend to Abigail and me from day 1.
Addison Kubicek
Bridesmaid
The reason Ads and I became best friends is because Matt and I decided to buy a dog while I was living in an on campus dorm (no dogs allowed!!) and I needed somewhere to stay when I had to keep him for the night. I slowly just began staying the night at her house more and more until she asked me if I just wanted to move some of my stuff in. Eventually 80% of my belongings were somehow squeezed into her house and we all realized that we were made for each other so I moved all the way in and became a full time member of the 408.
Naji Bseiso
Best Man
Naji has been my best friend since freshman year of high school thanks to football. We have done a lot of life together and have a ton of memories and stories together. Abigail and I got to stay with him in Austin when I competed there and even though we hadn't seen each other for since we graduated high school, nothing between us has changed.
Ashton Malone
Bridesmaid
Ashton was the other precious human who lived in the 408 with Addison. She was the other gracious angel who allowed me to stay at and slowly move into her home. She has been the one who has listened to my heart when I was panicking about my relationship with Matt or didn't know how to tell him something or knew I shouldn't be upset about something but didn't know how to stop. She has walked me through many a midnight meltdown. Ads and Ash are the girlfriends I never thought I would have or deserve and they know me and Matt probably better than anyone else in this season.
Lalo Contreras
Groomsman
Lalo was my first ever partner in a crossfit partner competition. Without even having met me yet, he trusted me enough to drive all the way to Oklahoma from Houston and had faith in my ability even though I had only competed once before. He has been a friend and strong brother in Christ ever since.
Afrika Pruitt
Bridesmaid
I went to high school with the next three bridesmaids and we have been through everything imaginable together. Afrika (formerly known as Addie) and I met each other on the freshman volleyball team but our friendship stemmed from things much more important and real than sports. She has been there for me during some of my darkest hours. She has spoken truth and love into my life during one of the most formative seasons of my life. She will forever be one of my first humans I go to for outfit advice or to tell a story that I am afraid to share with anyone else.
Kaleb Poulin
Groomsman
Kaleb has been my brother for 13 going on 14 years and we have a lot of memories together. Some of my favorite memories with him are the times we spent playing video games together or fishing together or playing cards together. He got a good dose of Abigail and me when he came to Oklahoma and stayed with me for the summer. Abigail always says that we look and act a lot alike, but I guess you can see for yourself at the wedding.
Rachel McManus
Bridesmaid
Rach and I became so close because we are both fiercely competitive and warrior-like in almost everything we do. She was always my answer to that question people like to ask, "If you had to choose a friend to go into battle with, who would it be?" I have known her since the summer before freshman year of high school and she has been the iron that sharpens my iron many times. She is the woman that I have spent many a night crying, screaming, and begging for the Lord to show up with all the way to standing by her side while she married the love of her life.
Caleb Corff
Groomsman
There are way too many Calebs in our lives as you can tell, but we love them all. I usually refer to Caleb as C-leb so I can distinguish between the two. Caleb and I will always have our shared love of Abigail to unite us. I met him when I started dating Abigail and I think we may be opposites in every way, but he means the world to Abigail and so he has come to mean a lot to me too.
Ivy Penwell
Bridesmaid
This woman has been the calm to my storm ever since the first day of the summer before freshman year of high school. She is someone who always has the words when I do not. She has been my warm up partner a hundred times. She won a state championship with me. She walked through the hardest season of my life with me. She put up with living with me for all of freshman year. I still remember the first time I met her with her super cute curly hair bob and her giant smile. She's the type of person that when I walked into a gym and was trying to find the court my team was playing volleyball on, I knew all I had to do was listen for her voice calling the ball.
