Hannah & Matthew
Wedding Party
Gabrielle Semancik
Maid of Honor
Gabbie and Hannah became friends in 2015 during their sophomore year of high school. However, they actually first met years before during their First Holy Communion at St. Mary's Catholic Church in elementary school. They even lived together as roommates for one semester at Kent State. Hannah has truly cherished their friendship over the years. Whether it's sharing a laugh, reminiscing about high school memories, or heading out to see one of their favorite singers in concert, Gabbie is always there, ready to make it happen! Everyone should be lucky enough to have a friend like Gabbie! It is so funny that Gabbie was one of the last people to find out Matt was proposing. Matt waited to tell Gabbie, until after the Jonas Brothers concert, and she dropped everything and made sure she was there for the engagement party! Hannah has a countless of favorite memories over the years but some highlights include the trips to and from Columbus and Cleveland, buying last minute floor level tickets to The Jonas Brothers, their NYC trip together and their love for Goodnight John Boy. Hannah is so excited for her best friend and Maid of Honor to be by her side on this special day!
Lucas Donley
Best Man
Lucas has been one of Matt’s closest friends since their college days. Though they started as rivals on the football field, their bond truly began to form during their freshman year at Wheeling University. What began as teammates soon blossomed into an inseparable friendship. Over the years, their connection has been built on shared adventures, athletic pursuits, laughter, and deep, meaningful conversations. Lucas has become a special spot in Matt’s life, someone he can always count on, and will forever remain one of his best friends. One of Matt’s fondest memories with Lucas is the unforgettable dance battle they had on a cruise ship—a moment full of fun, and plenty of laughs that perfectly captures the spirit of their friendship. Other memories that stand out include their first time attending the Arnold Classic together, Lucas wearing a skin-tight Power Ranger suit across campus (and yes, there’s grass—inside joke!), and the time Lucas tried to explain to Matt that he doesn’t eat rice because it looks like maggots. Through all the wild moments and deep conversations, Matt is grateful to have Lucas by his side!

Over the years, Ashley has always treated Hannah like a sister, and the two share a close bond, sharing advice whenever needed. Hannah knows she can always turn to Ashley when needing advice or needing a coffee... Ashley is incredibly sweet and thoughtful, and whenever she and Hannah are together, they always have a blast! Some of Hannah’s favorite memories include the iconic coffee runs at the beach in the golf cart (going approximately 10mph), family vacations filled with photoshoots and darty days, endless rounds of Just Dance and Wii Sports, and all of the time Hannah spent staying at Ashley’s apartment before her move to Columbus. Hannah is so incredibly lucky to be gaining such a wonderful sister-in-law like Ashley and can't wait to have her by her side!
Caden Rine
Best Man
Caden and Matt have been inseparable since childhood, but their bond truly solidified during high school, particularly in choir class. While their voices may not have always been in perfect harmony, their friendship grew into something much stronger—an unbreakable brotherhood. After school, they spent countless hours detailing cars, sipping protein shakes, cruising around, and relaxing in Caden’s hot tub, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Caden has been a constant source of joy and support in Matt’s life, and Matt is incredibly grateful for the friendship they’ve built. One of Matt’s most cherished memories with Caden is the late nights spent at Caden’s house, talking and dreaming about what they hoped their futures would look like—those conversations, full of hope & laughter, are moments Matt will always hold close to his heart.

That moment will forever be one of Matt’s most cherished, a symbol of their deep friendship and the unshakeable bond they share.

Trevor Arnold
Groomsman
A wise person once said, “You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you as you are to them.” Matt likes to think that, in his case, he’s a bit of a bigger blessing in Trevor’s life than the other way around. Trevor, Matt’s brother-in-law and husband to his sister Andrea, has become the brother Matt never had. Together, they enjoy golfing, spending time with James and Ella, and attending Mass. Trevor has been an incredible role model for Matt, and one of Matt’s most cherished memories with him is when Trevor volunteered to be his confirmation sponsor. Matt also remembers Andrea and Trevor asking Matt to be in their wedding and all of the memories of their beautiful celebration. Matt is incredibly grateful to have a great brother-in-law like Trevor.
Allison Greenwood

Jesse Dombroski
Groomsman
It’s hard to find anything bad to say about Jesse because, honestly, he’s just that great of a guy. He’s the kind of person who would take off his own shirt and give it to you without asking any questions. Jesse, who is Hannah’s cousin, has been a constant and reliable presence in Matt and Hannah’s life. Matt and Jesse enjoy hanging out together, taking care of Carol (Hannah’s grandma), and, of course, playing jokes on other family members. Matt feels incredibly blessed to have a man like Jesse in his life and looks forward to watching him continue to grow. One of Matt’s favorite memories with Jesse is when Matt had to get on Jesse’s shoulders to reach something on top of a ledge—proving that Jesse is always there to help when needed. Oh, and there was the time Sean gave Jesse a black eye...
Brooke Briggs
Bridesmaid
Brooke Briggs is Hannah’s college friend from Wheeling University. Hannah first met Brooke in 2020 when Matthew invited her boyfriend, Garrett Givens, over to a get together in his dorm room.

Brooke is such a caring, genuine, and a one of a kind friend who is always up for an adventure!

Outside of sports, they enjoy dancing, traveling, and deep conversations about life. Matt deeply values their brotherhood and is excited about creating many more memories with Garrett. One of Matt’s favorite moments with Garrett is their trip to Zion National Park, where they hiked the iconic Narrows together.
Lacey Dombroski

Lacey Dombroski is Hannah's first cousin and someone she's always looked up to. Growing up, Lacey was the "cool cousin" who would pick Hannah up from their grandma's house for trips to the mall, Starbucks, or sometimes both! Lacey has a special way of lighting up any room with her infectious optimism, fun spirit, and ability to make everyone laugh. Hannah and Lacey share a bond through their care for and support of their Grandma Carol. Hannah can’t picture her family without Lacey, and she certainly can't imagine celebrating this day without her by her side. Some of Hannah's best memories with Lacey include their unforgettable Nashville girls trip, where they kept Wendy up long past her bedtime, and their most recent big family vacation!
Cade Wolfe
Groomsman
Cade has always been more than just a cousin to Matt—he’s been a friend, a teammate, and someone Matt has always looked up to (or down if you mean literally). From their childhood days of running around outside and playing video games, to supporting each other on the basketball court in high school, Matt has had the privilege of watching Cade grow and develop into the person he is today. Matt is incredibly grateful for all the memories they’ve made along the way, whether it’s playing pickleball or just hanging out with their families!

Both only children, their connection has always been special, and Hannah is deeply grateful for the sister-like relationship they share. Carly is the sweetest, most easygoing person you could ever meet! The only disagreement they've ever had? Deciding where to go for dinner, because to Carly, it doesn’t really matter as long as they're together! Hannah and Carly share so many memories, but one that always stands out their unforgettable Puerto Rico trips and all of the corn ice cream they ate! Some of Hannah’s other favorite memories with Carly include growing up swimming together, being a bridesmaid in her beautiful wedding, and simply spending time with Aunt Janis. Hannah can’t imagine this day without Carly by her side.
Jonathan Friesner
Groomsman
Jon is technically Matt’s boss, which is scary if you have ever met Jon. Matt and Jon first met during Matt’s internship at EY, where Jon took him under his wing and showed him the ropes of working in a professional setting. After college, Matt joined EY and was placed back onto Jon’s team, only to later find out that Jon had specifically requested that Matt return to his team—though Jon might not admit it. From that moment on, Matt and Jon rekindled their friendship, quickly picking up where they had left off, and have continued to make new memories together ever since. Jon and Matt share a love for their daily ping pong matches at work, hanging out to watch the Buckeyes, and spending time playing golf and pickleball. Through it all, Matt is forever grateful for everything Jon has taught him, not only in the workplace but also about life, and looks forward to their lifelong friendship. One of Matt’s favorite memories with Jon is their first filing party together, followed by spending the night at Bristol (Jon's favorite)!
Jodie Benitez
Bridesmaid
If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting Jodie Benitez yet, just ask her to say "coffee"—you'll immediately know where she's from! Jodie and Hannah’s friendship began in 2021 when Lucas Donley and Matthew planned a trip to Cedar Point, which was later rerouted to Put-In-Bay due to storms closing the amusement park. From the moment they met, Jodie and Hannah hit it off, and the four of them became the best of friends. Jodie is always someone Hannah can rely on, and their friendship means the world to her. Hannah cherishes her favorite memories with Jodie, including going on a cruise where they shared a single interior cabin between the four of them, having Jodie play a key role in their engagement, and visiting her and her family in NYC. Hannah is excited to have a wonderful friend like Jodie standing by her side!
Stuart Calkins
Groomsman
Sometimes, you get lucky, and sometimes your cousin, Caitlin, marries someone like Stu. When Caitlin introduced Matt to Stu, it was clear right away that they were going to get along. Their shared love for the Buckeyes, tennis, pickleball, and, of course, their mutual enjoyment of trash talking Uncle Doug’s narcolepsy at family parties created an instant bond. Over time, their friendship has only grown stronger as they’ve walked together through their faith and supported each other on their journeys. Matt is incredibly grateful to have Stu as a role model in his life, and he’s excited for all the fun memories still to come. One of Matt’s favorite memories with Stu is when they joined an indoor pickleball league together. They invited Caitlin and Hannah to watch one of their games and ended up losing to two elderly ladies. Despite the tough loss, it was a game filled with laughter, and that’s something Matt will always remember!
