She is also a talented artist, has an excellent memory, and is such a hilarious lady. Terra and Garett are thankful to have her friendship, like a sister and birthday twin.

Matt has been like a brother to Terra since they were teenagers. They went to high school and college together. They also were mall rats and ravers, gotta love the 90s! Matt played bouncer when Terra bartended in college as well as they've frequently screened each other's dating choices. The system worked when Matt was introduced to Garett, Matt instantly approved and they became fast friends. Terra also felt good to prove to one of her dearest friends that Garett was a natural fit. Times have changed and settled down a bit but their friendship continues on. Terra and Garett are so very thankful that Matt's agreed to be part of their family and wedding day!

They enjoy common interests such as dancing, singing, cooking, traveling, personal style, and laughter. Uncle Tim has truly been a kind and generous friend and loved one to Terra and Garett. They are so very grateful to him for every experience, including being a part of their wedding day.
