Costellos on the Bay
Wedding Party
Andy
Best Man
Andy and I met back in middle school. However, this was not the first time we met face to face. Andy and I always competed against each other in basketball growing up. Once we were eventually on the same side of the court, Andy's ability to shoot 3s led us to instantly become friends. Throughout childhood and college Andy and I remained close. I know I can always count on him for anything and I am excited to have him as my best man.
Grace
Maid of Honor
Grace is my younger sister by 5 years. Even though she is younger, she has become my role model over the last few years. She is someone who is independent, caring, and a go-getter. I know no matter what she will be there through everything. Grace is my rock at all times. She is someone who will listen at all hours of the day and will be there no matter what. I can always count on G for a good laugh, to keep it real, and weekly Marshall's trips. Our relationship has really grown over the past few years and there is no one else I would want to be my maid of honor. Her favorite memory of Colin is he would also show up with Philly pretzels for her when he came down on the weekends during college.
PJ
Groomsman
PJ is my older brother. Throughout our childhood, you could always find us playing sports together, especially baseball and basketball. Today we still have the same love for sports. Instead of playing basketball and baseball we now show up to the golf course. PJ is someone I know I can count on.
Kim
Bridesmaid
Kim is my sister in law but quickly became a sister to me when she officially joined the family back in 2017. Kim is someone I look up to when I hopefully become a mother with her ability to be patient and always looking for things to do with the girls. Kim is always down for an adventure and knows how to pick out a good book! Her favorite memory of us is when Josie decided she would no longer be sleeping over at my house, packed up her bags, and demanded that Colin and I take her back home. I cannot wait to have her standing by my side.
Jack
Groomsman
Jack (aka Pop) was my first friend in middle school once I moved to public school. Pop and I were often found riding our bikes around our neighborhood getting in some sort of trouble. Our friendship moved away from the neighborhood and onto the football field once we hit high school. Our friendship grew rather quickly when Pop was the center and I was the QB. This friendship has always remained close since. I am excited to have him by my side.
Brooke
Bridesmaid
Brooke and I met back in 2005 while trying out for the same soccer team. We have been friends ever since. We spent countless hours traveling to soccer tournaments together and planning our infamous High School Musical premier parties. Even though we have been thousands of miles apart since the age of 12, our friendship has never changed. I am forever grateful to have her by my side.
Wes
Groomsman
Wes and I also met in middle school. Our friendship grew once we started playing basketball together. Wes is someone you can count on to have a good time. He may be late almost always but he has the ability to bring people together with his genuine friendship.
Madison
Bridesmaid
Madison and I met back in 2005 while trying out for travel soccer. We spent countless hours traveling for soccer together and quickly our families became one. It was a running joke between our families as to who has custody every weekend of us. Even after I moved 700+ away we have remained close. We can go awhile without talking and I know we will always pick back up right where we left off. Madison is someone who I can always count on for a good time and I know always has my back. I am so glad she will be by my side on my wedding day.
Greg
Groomsman
Greg and I did not meet until high school, due to him being older than most of us. Our friendship continued to grow after high school and into college. We have spent many summer nights at his beach house and made many memories. You can always count on Greg to make the best Amazon purchases to help train your MMA skills. I am thankful to have Greg by my side on my wedding day.
Megan
Bridesmaid
Megan and I met during our time in college. We actually went to the same high school but we did not know each other. Our friendship started when we both would comment on each other's Instagram posts and that started our forever friendship. Fun fact about us, the 2nd time we ever hung out we went on a weekend-long trip to the beach. Megan was my rock during the lowest part of my life. She helped me get back on my feet and was there to catch me when I fell time and time again. Our adventures range from taking over an OCMD bar's phone calls, closing out Seacrets, and always being down for some tequila shots. I am so glad to have a friend like her and have her standing by my side.
Jack
Groomsman
Jack, otherwise known as Vogel, and I met in middle school. We grew up playing football and baseball together. Once high school was over, we became roommates in college and our friendship only grew. Vogel is someone I can always count on for a good time and is the ultimate drinking partner. My wedding wouldn't be the same without Vogel by my side.
Alex
Bridesmaid
Alex and I met during her freshman year in high school during soccer tryouts. We quickly became attached at the hip and would have daily Starbucks runs after school. Once I went off to college we remained close. Alex is someone I can count on for a good laugh or a shoulder to cry on. We spent countless hours watching The Bachelor and making TikToks in our parents ' basements. No matter how much time passes, I know she is someone I can always count on.
Jared
Groomsman
Jared is Emily's youngest brother and we met way back when he was a freshman in high school. Jared and I got along right away with our love for sports. He may be a Big 10 fan but hopefully, his love for the SEC will only grow. I am excited to gain another brother!
Josie
Flower Girl
Josie is the little girl who first made me an aunt and is the cutest! Josie is full of spunk and humor. I cannot wait to see her steal the show when walking down the aisle!
Ryan
Groomsman
Ryan and I met briefly back in 2016 when Emily and I first started dating. Our relationship grew a lot more over the summer with our love for golf. You can find us (along with Jared) on the golf course most weekends. I am excited to gain yet another brother!
Gianna
Flower Girl
Gianna is the youngest in the Matte clan. She will be 18 months on the wedding day so please cheer this little girl on as she will be wobbling down the aisle with her big sister Josie :)
