Yeomans/Maddox Wedding
Wedding Party
Laura Ann (L.A.) O’Sullivan
Matron of Honor
Sydney and L.A. have known each other since college, but their bond truly deepened during their graduate school years, becoming inseparable ever since. They shared countless experiences, from playing volleyball against each other, coaching volleyball together, and finally to being roommates for several years. If you cannot tell by the photo they both have so much love for each other. Through all of life’s highs and lows, Sydney couldn’t imagine celebrating this special day without L.A. by her side.
Bianca Benson
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Bianca's friendship began in 2016 when they were both navigating life while working at L.A. Fitness. Neither of them could have imagined that their shared journey would lead to such a meaningful bond. Bianca's vibrant personality and generous spirit have always been a source of joy to those around her. Sydney feels incredibly grateful to have Bianca by her side on the most significant day of her life!
Rachel Dunlap
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Sydney’s friendship blossomed after working together through a series of shared experiences. What began as a simple co-worker connection quickly evolved into a genuine bond. Sydney is incredibly grateful for all the fun-filled Houston nights and weekends they’ve shared. As Rachel grew closer to both Matthew and Sydney, they couldn’t imagine this special day without her being a part of it.
Bhavika Patel
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Bhavika's friendship grew naturally from the start. When Sydney relocated to Houston for work, Bhavika was always there with amazing recommendations for dinner, drinks, and everything in between. Before long, their bond deepened into something even more special, and Sydney is incredibly grateful for how their friendship has evolved. This day wouldn't feel complete without Bhavika by her side.
Erin Rossabi
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Erin played volleyball together in college, but the sport was just a small part of their bond. It was the late nights spent sipping Moscato, just the two of them, or the themed parties they attended side by side that truly shaped their friendship. Those moments turned into a connection that would last a lifetime. Even though miles have separated them since college, they’ve always found comfort in knowing the other is just a phone call away. On this special day, it wouldn’t feel complete without Erin sharing this moment with Sydney.
Dennis Heyman
Best Man
Dennis is Matthew's cousin, but in reality, he has always been like a brother to him. With just five months and 5 days separating their ages, the closeness between them growing up was unmistakable. While Dennis was the one who often followed the rules, Matthew was the mischievous one, yet their bond was undeniable. That connection has only grown stronger into adulthood. Today, he would simply not feel complete without his "brother" by his side.
Zach Buckner
Groomsman
Matthew and Zach met in college at North Georgia, bonding over dumbbells, squat racks, and friendly competition over whose biceps were bigger (no, that's not a joke). What started as a simple workout partnership blossomed into a true bromance, and even to this day, the two still compare biceps whenever they're together. Matthew has always known that this day wouldn't feel complete without Zach by his side.
Ian McBride
Groomsman
Ian and Matthew’s friendship dates back to their high school days, making them lifelong buddies. From their basketball games at Norcross to their wild adventures at Six Flags, they’ve shared countless unforgettable memories. Although distance has made it harder to see each other as often as they'd like, their bond remains unshaken—they can always pick up the phone and continue as if no time has passed. Ian has had a profound and positive influence on Matthew’s life, and today wouldn’t feel complete without him standing proudly by Matthew’s side.
Jared Lucas
Groomsman
Jared and Matthew, though cousins, have always shared a special bond. Their connection deepened over the years through their "Cousin trips"—from summer gatherings at relatives' houses to international adventures as they grew older. They also share a passion for debating who the true protagonist is in the latest popular anime. Despite their contrasting personalities—Jared being all business and Matthew more playful—it's this difference that strengthens their relationship. Matthew knew Jared's presence was vital on this special day and is excited he will be by his side.
Hamad Shirazi
Groomsman
Hamad and Matthew's friendship started during their time at North Peachtree, united by their shared passion for basketball. Over the years, Hamad has been a constant presence in Matthew’s life, supporting him through pivotal moments, from the physique competitions to his move to Miami. As Hamad pursues his Doctorate in Chiropractic, he has always encouraged Matthew to embrace a holistic approach to life. The nickname "Manifest Matt" came to be because of Hamad’s unwavering ability to help Matthew focus on positivity and energy. Today, Matthew feels that the day will be complete with Hamad by his side.
