THE BRIDE

What can I say without spoiling the ceremony? Matt and I met in Minnesota during the holidays of 2023. We’ve been inseparable since our first date; through four moves over three years, we’ve known this day would come for a long time.

THE GROOM

She’s Perfect, she’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of, my greatest inspiration and admiration. I could barely wait another second to make her my wife. You’ll hear the rest later ;)

MAID OF HONOR

And the best sister known to sisterkind. Gabi gives the greatest advice, always calming, logical, and from the heart (and right). She once was a professional event planner for the University of Toronto — which means she’s to thank for many of this wedding’s biggest decisions!

BEST MAN

Jon, Matt, and Nick made a pact in their adolescence that they would need to come to some sort of arrangement so they would not have to choose a specific best man amongst the three of them. They fulfilled the first part of this agreement last winter at Jon’s wedding. He is Matt's closest confidant and a man he could talk to for hours on end about nothing. He is a humble, smart, and infinitely kind person. Nothing he says at the wedding should be taken as legal advice. 

MAID OF HONOR

At their first internship, Olivia was the designer and Bella was the writer. The two went hand-in-hand and fully plan to work together again someday. For now they’re lifelong friends, hoping and dreaming and giggling together every moment they get.

BEST MAN

Nick and Matt’s friendship began in high school plays, continued as his was the designated basement for playing video games, and has remained rock solid for almost 10 years. To Matt he is a fashion icon, a most mature professional, a board game mogul, and a fellow amateur historian of the city of Sartell. Nothing he says at the wedding should be taken as legal advice. 

WORLD’S BEST BRIDESMAID

Seattle is great because of Jasmine. The two met on Bumble BFF: proof you can make friends online. Together they spent a year and a half writing essays, training for and crushing a sprint triathlon, and talking in Lighthouse Coffee for hours on end.

WORLD’S BEST GROOMSMAN

Kyle met the groom when he showed up uninvited to his 16th birthday. In college, he was Matt’s first roommate. They lived in 3 different homes together, a testament to a strong tolerance of each other’s habits. As well as being a model outdoorsman for a future park ranger, he and his wife Lauren are a model of love for a future husband.
