Wedding Party
Presley Fontenot
Maid of Honor
My lovely little sister will be standing by my side at both weddings. I could not be more proud of the wonderful woman she has become. I'm incredibly happy to have Pres move in with us and cannot wait to see all the wonderful things she is going to do. Love you Pres!
Rachael McIntyre
Matron of Honor
My BFFLNEFI (best friend for life never ever forget it) I stood by her for her big day its only fair that she do the same! Since moving to Vegas, Rachael and I don't communicate as much as I wish we did, BUT we never feel like we need to beg for each others attention. We pick up right where we leave off and it's grown to be an amazing friendship. Both of us are new mothers and I'm so happy to have someone to go through this wild ride with (besides Matt of course)! Love you Biffle (:
Kati Bowman
Bridesmaid
Kati and I met while we were working at Hooters together 5 years ago. She has been through so much with me and I am proud to call her my bff and more importantly she is one of Asher's Godparents. I could not have gotten through the last couple of years without her! Love you my little Psycho
Farah Ahmad-Stout
Bridesmaid
Where do I begin. Farah and I met recently as she is David's (Matts older brother and our Officiant for the weddings) wife BUT she has quite the personality. Not to mention she is a Friends addict and that makes me love her more. I am honored to say she is also one of Asher's Godparents and very thrilled that she will be standing next to me on this big day! Love you!
Lexy Gavin
Bridesmaid
Lexy is a wonderful person. She is not only a girl I can call one of my close friends now, but she is also Matt's VP for Charity Series of Poker. She goes out of her way to make sure that every event is successful and she has done a fantastic job. I'm also so proud of the impact she's making in the poker community. She is my spirit animal and I'm honored she is going to stand next to me! Love you beautiful (:
Joe Cappuccio
Best Man
Best Man for Texas. Matt met Joey on Matt’s 21st birthday at a $1-2 No Limit table at the Tropicana in Atlantic City. They have been besties ever since, established their careers as pro poker players together, and have a bromance that often makes Katie and me cringe. ;-)
Doug Stout
Best Man
Best Man New Jersey. Doug is Matt’s uncle and has been one of the most important people in Matt’s development and success. From street hockey in the driveway, to concerts in his teens, to supporting his pursuit of poker as a career, he’s been one of Matt’s biggest supporters and fans since day one, and Matt couldn’t think of anyone more fitting to serve as his best man.
Mario Silvestri
Groomsman
Mario was one of the first online poker pros Matt became friends with. They finally met “irl” at Turning Stone Casino in upstate NY in 2007. They have always gone out of their way to visit each other when they can in their hometowns of Fort Worth and Las Vegas.
Adam Ross
Groomsman
Adam survived living with Matt in Costa Rica...along with the 7.4 earthquake they experienced together in Jaco Beach. Adam has since moved to Vegas and become a close friend of the family...and one of Asher Ray Stout’s favorite play pals.
Mike Frazin
Groomsman
First Mike was one of Matt’s poker students, then he became his staking business partner, then he became one of the Charity Series of Poker’s original Board members, and somewhere along the way he became one of Matt’s best friends and business mentors.
Paul Wasicka
Groomsman
Paul and Matt met in Vegas in 2007 and they bonded over Mario Kart. They eventually became poker tournament travel buddies (when Matt could talk Paul into playing poker). Then Matt fell in love with Colorado and learned not only how to ski from Paul, but how to play the greatest board game of all time: Ticket To Ride.
Steve Pietropaula
Groomsman
“Dreadlock Steve” was one of Matt’s original Atlantic City poker buddies when he started grinding there in 2005-2006. He was also one of Matt’s roommates in Vegas for several years and, for what it’s worth, looks absolutely fantastic as Captain Jack Sparrow.
David Hussey
Groomsman
David and Matt’s dads were best friends growing up, and some of Matt’s earliest and fondest memories are from camping with David in upstate NY. David is still one of Matt’s favorite Thunder Buddies to this day and is his honorary second brother named Dave.
David Ahmad-Stout
Officiant
David may be officiating the weddings, but he’d be Matt’s best man if he weren’t. If David hadn’t led Matt down the path to working hard and giving back, Matt is pretty sure he’d be dead on in jail by now. David is Matt’s biggest inspiration and generally one of his favorite humans.
