I have known Zita for the past 4 years. We met at a surprise birthday party and quickly bonded. From then on we became inseparable. From the good to the bad, we did a lot together. I cherish every moment we have shared in life so far. I was there the night she met Matt and I’ve watched their love blossom over the years they have been together and I can’t explain how happy I am for the both of them. I am so honored to be able to stand next to you on your special day and in life as a best friend. I can not wait to watch you both say I Do and start this new chapter in life. Congratulations!
Brendan
Best Man
“Brendan and Dinda met back in Elementary school, although they became close friends in high school after playing poker together in Matt’s basement. They continued to hang out over the years and Matt became close with the entire Schelhorn family. Brendan is honored to be one of Matt’s best men and wishes him and Zita nothing but the best.”
Kristin
Maid of Honor
Zita and Kristin met roughly 15 years ago, working at Coleman Country Day Camp together. After noticing Zita was new on the campgrounds, Kristin befriended her almost immediately and the two became inseparable, at the summer job and during the rest of the year as well. As they grew up, Zita and Kristin’s friendship turned into sisterhood, filled with beach trips, shopping sprees, birthday parties and special occasions, and tons of sleepovers. Through it all, Kristin and Zita have stayed by each other’s side, sticking together through thick and thin. “Congratulations my dear. I am so proud of you and the person you’ve become. I’m so very happy for you and Matt as you take the next step in your journey together. And I am blessed to be a part of your big day. I love you to the moon and back.
Travis
Best Man
I originally met Dinda as a kid when we went to the same elementary school. However, it wasn’t until poker games in Dinda’s basement and basketball games in my backyard with Phil and “Jump-shot Superior” that we became very close friends. From that point on, Dinda began referring to himself as the “fourth Schelhorn” and became a brother to me. Every Sunday, Dinda would pick up my brothers and I and we would grab lunch and watch football together in our garage. This typically resulted in Dinda yelling every time a random player would score a touchdown or a crazy dance move when a player on his fantasy team would score. I’m so happy Dinda found Zita and I can’t wait to be one of the best men at their wedding. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you both.

Zita and I are cousins. But the best part about being cousins is that she’s my bestie & doesn’t really get a choice. I love that we get to enjoy all of the amazing family memories that only we understand. From our sleep overs at Nana and Papas house when we were little to our shopping adventures and sushi dates as adults. We have countless other memories that mean so much to me. Since we were little, we have always talked about our weddings. I’m so happy to be here celebrating your marriage. Congrats to you and Matt!
Phil
Groomsman
Phil and Dinda sat near each other in class in 9th grade and became close in no time. Since then, the “Dindabbrach” duo has shared too many laughs over Family Guy quotes, terrible name puns on football Sundays and all the great times they’ve had. Mrs. Dinda also helped care for Phil’s grandmother, which brought their families closer together. “I wish Dinda and Zita all the best in their marriage and can’t wait to celebrate their special day. Over the years I’ve made too many memories with Dinda to count and I know their wedding day will top them all and be a beautiful way to start their new life together.”

Dan
Groomsman
Dan and Matt became friends and started hanging out sometime during high school. They would meet up after school for some competitive games of Slam Ball and soon were dominating together on the court for THE St. Killian Church basketball club. Some referred to the duo as a young Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash (minus the hair of course). Off the court, Dan and Matt translated their dominance to the BP tables at their local town shindigs. However it didn’t end there. The two became even closer during their college years, dominating every dance floor in sight in the process. Matt would make frequent visits to Morgantown, WV to visit Dan for some of the most legendary weekends of their lives. No matter where or when, there has been nothing but laughs and good times between the two bro’s. From sporting events to golf outings to weekend trips to NFL Redzone Sundays on the couch, no one does it better than Dan and Matt. After almost 15+ years of being best buds, Dan couldn’t be happier to see his brother marrying a girl who appreciates Matt’s comedy and unique personality as much as he does. Dan can’t wait to see Matt and Zita as parents and is excited to watch them grow and progress together. However, Dan just requests if he can still steal him away for football Sundays

Groomsman
Dinda and I met when we were just little kids going to elementary school together and we have been friends ever since. I can always count on him for a good guys poker night, a round of golf, or seeing the latest superhero movie. I know that these are things that will always continue. I am so happy for Dinda and Zita and wish them so much happiness together. I was happy to have him stand by my side for my wedding and I feel honored to do the same for him. Congratulations Dinda & Zita!

I met Zita at NYIT, since being in the program I gained more than a friend she’s more like a sister to me. When I think of words to describe our bond I think of loyalty, genuine, protector, bold, beautiful, defender, funny, sincere, empathetic, understanding, brainstormer, someone who will ride with you till the wheels fall off. I love you Zita and i am grateful to have you as a friend. Many of my days would have been difficult to get through without you. Matt you have found a beautiful gem, a rare one at it. I love the relationship you both have. Continue to love and be there for each other and always remember to be friends first. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. I love you both and Matt I don’t play about her lol!

Once upon a time in the Milky Way galaxy a humanities class existed. During the 4 minute break when we were afforded freedom my buddy Phil would be talking to a man who was freakishly hairy and would definitely be bald by the time we were 25. After watching multiple interactions between this hairy man and Phil I deemed the strange hairy man safe enough to talk to. After speaking to him that day I thought to myself “keep this man in your life, he will introduce you to your future wife in Texas one day”. So i befriended this man and participated in all his shenanigans and waiting for him to air dry out of the shower waiting for the day this friendship would pay off. If I would’ve known it would take 10 years for the final pay off idk if I would’ve spoken to him that day. Here we are though 15 years knowing each other and I’m honored to be standing by him on his wedding day! Wishing him and Zita nothing but happiness on their journey through life together.

When I started clinical I was expecting a lot of things but one of the things I didn’t expect was to meet an amazing person like Zita. I’ll always have those memories of us in clinical and lab classes together making mistakes but always learning from them but always there to encourage one another no matter what and that’s what I value about our friendship. As for you and Matt I’m so happy that you have found your soulmate and not many people are lucky enough to find their person. When I see you guys I see passion and real genuine love. You guys are stepping into a life of commitment, sacrifice, and hopefully down the line a creation of a beautiful family! I love you girl and I can’t wait to be by your side when you two make your lifelong commitment to each other!

I met dinda when I was 5 years old in elementary school and we’ve been close friends ever since. We started out in horizons making our own comedy skit called “yo-yo embryo!?” and playing dynasty warriors 4 and i was always the arrow guy. He’s always the life of the party and makes the crowd laugh, and I can always count on him. I am so glad he met someone that makes him as happy as Zita does, and wish them nothing but happiness and success in the future. Congratulations to the both of you!
Charissa
Bridesmaid
Charissa and Zita met about three years ago through Kristin. Instantly they connected through a love for medicine. What started as running through different medical scenarios to guess what could have happened, turned into brunches and dancing. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness with your forever date. Can't wait to share this day of happiness with you!

James and Matt have been great friends since elementary school. The greatest memories include hanging out in Matt’s luxurious man cave of a basement where all of us got together, hung out, and laughed for hours. Other great memories include the numerous road trips to Atlantic City, Turning Stone, and even to Rhode Island to see our favorite comedian Bill Burr. James and Matt have also been preparing for the PGA tour for years by playing a lot of rounds golf together. They continue to play golf but there are a lot of years of preparation ahead, Something James looks forward to do with Matt out on the course. Matt has always been a good man and a good friend; a guy with a heart of gold. James looks forward to a lifetime of friendship with Matt and he wishes nothing but the best for him and Zita in their marriage and life together.

Matt and I have been best friends ever since he moved 3 houses down from me 25 years ago. We first became friends when I taught him how to ride a bike, and then every day after was filled with playing games indoors like pokemon, yugioh, dynasty warriors, super smash bros (where i would win every time), or playing games outside like man hunt, stick ball, basketball, swing ball, everything. He became like an older brother to me, and Matt being one year older then me, we were always very competitive with each other in everything. This at times would get us very heated at each other, but ultimately only made us closer. Whether its matt making me grilled cheese without the cheese… or going on trips together like texas or cancun, he and i have remained great friends all these years later and iv loved all our experiences together. I am so happy that he and zita found each other, and i am truly happy for them and wish them all the best in their upcoming marriage and parenthood. Congratulations to you both!

Most people have a very vivid memory of meeting Matt Dinda. However, I do not remember the first specific instance I met Dinda. But, I do remember when Dinda and I became close friends. It was back when I was a foot shorter than him and he called me “Big Al” ironically. Every Sunday during his senior year of high school, Dinda would come over to our house to watch NFL Football. While Dinda would scream and yell about his losing fantasy football team, we would eat lunch and crack jokes with each other. It soon became an unbreakable tradition even after football season ended. Without football to watch, we switched to watching movies and eating lunch together on Sundays. Dinda affectionately calls himself the fourth.
Eddie
Groomsman
Ed & Matt met in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since. Being they only lived blocks apart from each other, “Dinda’s” basement was often the spot for playing pool, ping pong, poker, and watching sports. It’s safe to say these two will remain close, just as long as Dinda promises to keep doing his stupid but funny impressions and is always down to see the newest Marvel movie. “Congratulations to Dinda & Zita! Keep laughing. If some days you feel like you can’t, just sit down and watch some King of Queens together! Can’t wait for the big day and to stand by your side.”

I have known Zita for four years since we met at round one doing karaoke. From then on we became extremely close eventually living together. Whenever we both need each other we are always there. Currently I am honored to have been asked to be godmother to Zita and Matt’s son Zayne. I’m happy to stand by Zita’s side on her most special day.
