Wedding Party

Susie Schlindwein

Maid of Honor

My best friend, roommate, and the first person that ever heard anything about Matt (she stalked his Instagram for me). We both deeply love LANY, Chipotle, Starbucks, The Office and deep talks that always end in one of us crying about how much we love each other.. Our friendship is the only other long term relationship in my life that started in my DM's. I don't know what I did to deserve a friend like Susie but God is good and here we are. - S

Nicholas Baker

Best Man

I met Nick Baker at a Meet and Greet at my church in Chicago, where I asked him to join my leader team. What I knew at the time was that I needed volunteers. What I didn’t know was how much I needed his friendship. From creating a podcast that never aired, to road tripping to St. Louis jamming out to Kidz Bop covers and early 2000s pop hits Nick quickly became my best friend. He is loyal, trustworthy and has the biggest heart for people. I am honored to have him as my best man. - M

Sarah Sisk

Sister of Bride

Is anything closer than sisters? Sarah is my built in best friend for life and a one in a million kind of person no matter how you slice it. I couldn't name someone that loves more selflessly than Sarah. I would pick her over and over again to be my sister if I had a choice and I couldn't be more honored to have her stand by my side. - S

David Cummiskey

Groomsman

Growing up, every kid is looking for someone to look up to, and for me that was always my brother Dave. I tried rollerblading, surfing, and even a year in marching band only to realize the real thing I admired about Dave wasn’t any of those individual things..It was the way he approached life as a never-ending adventure. I’m so grateful to have by big bro at my side on the most important day of my life. - M

Katelyn Garcia

Matron of Honor

Katelyn came into my life first as a roommate in THE GROVE....and then turned into a coworker...and then turned into my soulmate haha (sorry Matt). Besides both being avid lovers of Thai food and sleepovers (which bonded us from the start), we've seen each other through some of our worst days. I would trust this girl with anything. I'm so thankful to now be able to share our absolute best days of our lives with her by my side. - S

Jesse Cummiskey

Groomsman

Although cousins by blood, Jesse will always be my brother. I wouldn’t have wanted to go through all of the moving countries, states, and schools without my sidekick and forever gym partner. We’ve been through just about everything together and I wouldn’t want to experience this day without my bro. - M

Julie Patenaude

Bridesmaid

Julie is the INTJ to my ENFP...the grounded 5 to my wild 7... She is the only other person besides Matt that literally texts me every morning and she is my Tampa home away from home. So grateful to have somebody in my life that tells the truth at all costs and loves me no matter what. She is the realest. Autumnwood Grove fam forever. - S

Kyle Sinclair

Groomsman

Kyle saved my life. Literally. In high school Kyle was known as the happiest guy around. He was constantly encouraging everyone and had this superpower of including people that I’ve still never seen another person possess. My senior year I sat at a lunch table with Kyle and he invited me to a youth convention where my life was forever changed. Not only did I give my life to Jesus that night, but I also enrolled in SEU. If it wasn’t for Kyle, I may have never even met Stephanie. It’s so special to be able to celebrate this day with him by my side. - M

Loree Rowland

Bridesmaid

Besides having one of the cutest babies I've ever seen, Loree has lots of other incredible qualities. Some include: being insanely thoughtful, loving, and sincere. We first met when I was in her small group at my college and now I've been friends with her going on 7 years. She's felt more like a sister for a greater part of that time and I owe a lot of the good parts of who I am to her influence. I am so honored she would stand with me on my wedding day. - S

Kennon Phillips

Groomsman

Kennon is the best friend a person could have. I will never forget the time I was driving from his house in North Carolina back to Pennsylvania and about two hours into the drive I get a call from Kennon. I was so scared I left something important at his house. But to my surprise he was just calling to ask how my drive was going and see if I wanted company. That’s just a glimpse at the loving, genuine, and loyal character that Kennon has. He has been a constant friend and I’m so excited to celebrate this day with him. - M

Allie Cheek

Bridesmaid

Allie started off as the beautiful coworker I couldn't read and is now one of the greatest friends I couldn't live without. She's got the best advice and the sweetest, authentic demeanor...AND she's a straight up boss lady that I look up to in so many ways. @alliecheekevents. Excited for the unlimited Park St. Hot Tub nights in our future. P.S. Matt and I are on a waiting list to babysit Isla. - S

Stetson McCollin

Groomsman

I had the privilege of being roommates with Stetson for two years. While most of our friendship consists of binging shows, car ride dance parties, spontaneous photoshoots, shaving our eyebrows, and all kinds of silliness; he simply is the most positive faith filled person I have ever known. Anytime you spend with Stetson you leave feeling like you can do anything. Much of who I am is from his belief in me. With that, Stetson has been Steph and I’s biggest supporter from the start and I couldn’t be happier to have him by my side on our big day! - M

Juliana Diaz

Bridesmaid

Juliana honestly brings out the best in me and is the type of person that I know is reading my mind at all times. I can honestly say I've never met someone more joyful + kind and I KNOW lots of people would vouch for that because she was in 15+ weddings in the last year alone (and that's was a low year for her). She's the life of the party and the gangsta rap queen. I was torn between bridesmaid and DJ but this suits her best. Juju I love you - you can always have my aux cable. - S

Gabe Turner

Groomsman

Although we disagree on just about everything, I know that Gabe is one friend who will always have my back. Reliable and trustworthy, Gabe has supported Steph and I from the beginning. From being the house that I crashed at on Florida trips to the ear that listened to me go on and on about how much I love Stephanie and know she’s the one, Gabe has always been there. I’m so glad to be taking this next step with him in my corner. - M

Sarah Rogers

Bridesmaid

The first time I ever "met" Sarah was when she was accepting her position at SEU over the phone and I just remember thinking "I really want to be best friends with this girl" (she has a great phone voice). Thankfully it worked out that way and now I get to hang out all the time at work and on the weekends with the world's best adventure buddy. I love my peaceful, carefree days with Sarah Jean. - S

Zac Goodspeed

Groomsman

Have you ever had a friend that anytime you hangout, there’s no layer of small talk you have to break through to get to the good stuff? That’s Zac. Every time we hangout we talk about faith, love, culture, and everything in between. It was even in a conversation with Zac that I made the decision to step out in faith and quit my job to move to Florida to be with Steph. We’ve talked so much about this day, and I can’t wait to finally be able to celebrate it with him by my side. - M
