Wedding Party

Stephanie Brokop

Bride

“When Matt didn’t hesitate to join me and my entire family at the racetrack for our first date, I knew there was something special about him. The more time we spent together, the more it felt like we were just meant for each other. I’ve grown more fond of Matt with each passing year and love when I get the chance to learn new things about him. Never did I think I would be able to find a man who spoiled me more than my father, but Matt said ‘Hold my beer’ and got to work making my dreams come true. I’m so proud of all the hard work he has done to provide us with the beautiful home and life we have. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing man to spend the rest of my life with.”

“I was so excited when I found out that Stephanie and Matt were engaged. We have always talked about what our weddings would be like as children and we always knew that we would be a part of each other’s weddings. I’m so happy that we remained close and I get to spend her wedding day by her side!”

Natalie Anderson

Bridesmaid

“When I first saw they got engaged, I thought no one deserves it more than Stephanie. I’ve heard about her wedding dreams for my entire life and I’m so happy she found the right person to share her life with. I’m so excited to be a part of their day!!”

Charlotte Herst

Bridesmaid

“For as long as I can remember, Stephanie was the cool older cousin I looked up to. When we started hanging out, I could tell by the way she talked about Matt that they were going to be endgame. Meeting Matt for the first time, I could tell by the way he looked at Stephanie that she was what he wanted for the rest of their lives. I can’t wait to party it up on the dance floor with my favorite double date couple, and Im thrilled to see the beautiful life they’ll create together.”

Allysa Volkert

Bridesmaid

“As a friend of Matt and Stephanie for 5 years, going from irresponsible young adults living it up in the weekends, to now getting our lives together with real jobs, houses, puppies (or kids). Watching you two tie the knot is like going from Assistant to Regional Manager. The next step. Let’s make even more memories!”

Madelyn McGinnis

Jr Bridesmaid of Honor (God Daughter Supreme)

“I knew for a very long time that Matt was going to propose to Stephanie.  I knew about the ring and it was so hard to keep this secret from my best friend.  So I thought I was prepared when he actually proposed but honestly my first reaction was that I was sad to be losing my best friend. But now I know they will always have a place for me at their home and Stephanie will love me always.”

Norah McGinnis

Jr Bridesmaid

“When I first watched the video of Matt proposing to Stephanie I was sitting on the couch and the first thing I thought was “ wait am I THE ONE GETTING OLD orrrrrr am I just hallucinating”. I never understood when someone would talk about a huge milestone they hit and people would respond with ‘Man I’m getting old’ but this time I finally understood what it was like.”

‘Since knowing Matt for the last 10 years, marrying Steph is the smartest decision he’s made. And if you know Matt, I’m sure you would agree with me on that one. Congratulations man!’

Blake Brokop

Groomsman

"Matt is a good dude. I know he would give the shirt off of his back to help friends and family any time they need it. I know he makes my sister happy and I’m glad to call him part of the family”

Austin Leach

Groomsman

“One of the funniest memories I have with Matt is when I asked him to wire up my bowfishing lights when he was an electrician apprentice. He got it all wired up and blew all the lights and my garage fuses, he looks at me and said ‘Why didn't you tell me they were ac lights not dc?’ Well gee Matt, that's why I asked the electrician to do it! Good times”

Tyler Losh

Groomsman

“Matt is an easy going guy, I know exactly where his heads at. Unless he speaks up about something, he’s fine with anything that you’re fine with, but that’s just a part of rolling with the punches for a long time.”

“I’ve known Matt and Stephanie for my whole 5 years of life! I’m so happy they are getting married. I love going on vacations with them and playing around in the mud in the big truck! I wish Matt & stephanie a lifetime of happiness!”

Aria McGinnis

“Stephanie and Matt getting married makes me happy! Stephanie looks so beautiful!”

Todd & Michelle Brokop

Parents of the Bride

It took a while for me and Todd to realize that our daughter was completely smitten with Matt. Her entrancement grew with every passing month and she would only talk about Matt, Matt, Matt. After we got to know him better, we realized how he made his way into Stephanie's heart. They are compatible in every aspect of life and encourage each other to be their best. During their courtship, they have experienced both loss and success and have grown-up stronger together. Between the Wagg/Foy, Brokop/McGinnis and extended families, these lovebirds come from great stock. They have witnessed the dedication, devotion and commitment it takes to create a great marriage. On that note, we are looking forward to celebrating the union of Stephanie and Matt with all of you. We'll see you at the Ironworks!
