Wedding Party
Paul Holloway
Best Man
A true "day one" friend - Always Matthew's first call with good, bad, and all Washington Commanders news. He always has the answers to our car related questions and has been Matthew's biggest supporter. When envisioning what our day would look like we couldn't imagine anyone else standing to support us than Matthew's best friend.
Courtney Bauer
Maid of Honor
Courtney has been Sammi's best friend since freshman year of college when they joined the same sorority. Through years of confiding in one another about absolutely everything, Courtney knows pretty much everything about Sammi - especially how much she loved Matthew right from the start. We couldn't say "I do" without having her unwavering support on our special day.
Matt Riebman

We are both incredibly happy to have Joe as a brother and can't wait to share the day with him.
Sarah Consolazio
Bridesmaid
Sarah is the oldest (former) Holloway and will be another big sister to Sammi after marrying Matthew, though it's safe to say Sarah has taken that role on full heartedly since day one. Sarah quickly became a confidant of Sammi's and has been the biggest hype girl towards her and Matthew's relationship. She has never waivered in her love and support and has always offered the best advice. Sammi can't wait for all the years of sisterly fun to come, like keeping the tradition alive after both Sarah and Sammi's engagements of dancing on the kitchen counter to celebrate.

Also a neighbor of Matthew and Sammi's, Carly is always close by for a wine night, nail salon run, or dog walk just to chat. Sammi and Carly also work together, solidifying that if they don't see each other at least two/three times a week, something feels like it's missing. We can't get married without our best girlfriend standing up next to us!

Whether that's cheering on Pittsburgh at a local restaurant or meeting halfway at Virginia Beach, Rachel is the type of friend that Sammi will have forever. There was nothing like Sammi seeing Rachel marry her best friend in Eric and she's so excited to have Rachel do the same very soon for Sammi with Matthew!

We are incredibly grateful for Rob's friendship and are very lucky to have him in our lives and as an important part of the weekend.

The two have been close friends ever since, learning how to grow out of their awkward phases and into full blown adults together.

This phase is no exception and Matthew and Sammi are thrilled to have her surround them with her loving support on their wedding day.
