Amber & Matt
Wedding Party
Amber Tenny
Bride
For those of you who do not know me, you’re probably most of Matt’s friends and family! A little about me, well I come from a big family! The Tenny’s really know how to get down! The proof is in any of the Tenny weddings, decades of camping at Meramec State Park, or our own talent/variety show we like to call Tenny’s Got Talent! I am a very happy person; I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh. I thought that I was happy before I met Matt, I mean I was, but I didn’t realize how much happier happy could get. I would choose that goofball over and over again, lifetime after lifetime. Two souls couldn’t be more intertwined!
Rachel Simpson
Matron of Honor
We went to the same school for I don’t know how long, but we didn’t end up being friends until we worked together at Dollar General. Since we became friends, she’s been the most supportive, sweetest, most caring and understanding friend I could have asked for. It wasn’t a hard decision to ask her to be my matron of honor! She’ll probably stand out the most because she’s probably the only redhead that’s not a Tenny, oh and she’ll be just shy of nine months pregnant!
Emma Rohan
Bridesmaid
Emma is my absolute favorite cousin (sorry Tenny’s). She is the brightest star I know. Talented, smart, funny, caring, beautiful, among so many other things. When we were younger, she used to want to do everything I wanted to do, wear everything I wanted to wear. I remember being so annoyed by it when I was young but I just couldn’t appreciate the fact that she looked up to me. Now that we’re both grown I’m proud to say that I look up to her. What an amazing, strong, and powerful woman she’s grown up to be. I’m so lucky to call her my cousin.
Michelle Rohan
Bridesmaid/Aunt of Honor
Michelle is the best aunt I could ask for. She’s always been there for me, even when it wasn’t her job to be. She’s the most down to earth, yet bad ass person you could know. She pushes you when you start to give up on yourself, she encourages you when you struggle, and she’s always there when you ask for help. A light surrounds her where people just want to get to know her. For good reason, she’s a wonderful person to know!
Tamara Tenny
Bridesmaid
Tammi is my only sister. We’re 16 years apart so we didn’t get a chance to have a relationship when we were younger. It wasn’t until she was already a mom that I became an adult and I realized how lucky I was to have a sister like her. She will do anything for the people she loves, she will support you throughout your whole journey and she will encourage you to be your best and she’s just so cool about it!
Matthew Pruett
Groom
Most of you should know me by now but if you don’t, hi. I’m Matt. I come from a fairly small family and grew up in Wildwood, unfortunately. I spent my youth riding BMX and dirt bikes and hanging out with friends. I’m a simple, nature lovin’ man. I take pride in the work I do, for myself and for others. Just like Amber I, too, thought I was happy before I met her, now my priorities have become more clear.
James Oberlin
Best Man
James and I met way back in middle school but we didn’t get around to becoming friends until high school. My favorite memory with him was riding mopeds and breaking down on Wild Horse Creek road and riding tandem to the nearest gas station. He may look intimidating but he would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it.
Jimmy Derbyshire
Groomsman
Jimmy and I worked at a car wash together when we were teenagers. We didn’t really get along at first. I thought he was just some punk kid but he was friends with James and he showed me that Jimmy wasn’t so bad. We’d go wheeling at Moonlight and have bonfires at his place. He’s got a big mouth on him but it’s balanced out by a big heart. He’s a great friend to have and I’m glad to call him Neighbor.
JT Wyne
Groomsman
JT is like the brother I never had. He’d get me into all sorts of shenanigans, I was always nervous we’d get caught doing something illegal. My favorite memory with him was when we got caught drunk at Howell Island and almost went to jail. I’ll never forget all the adventures from that point on.
Albert Wolf
Groomsman
Wolf is my oldest friend. From going to the Loynd’s, to parties, to the Ozarks, we had some really great times. We’ve since grown apart a bit but he’s my boy and I’d do anything for him.
