Liz & Matthew
Wedding Party
Elisabeth "Liz" White
Bride
Liz is a CCAD alum and Art Director at BrandWell Solutions, with a love of makeup, movies and any kind of ice cream she can get her hands on (even though she’s lactose intolerant). More gorgeous now than the day he first laid eyes on her, it’s always been Liz’s blue-green eyes that Matthew has loved the most. But more than that, it’s her goofiness, ambition and her love of family that has kept him falling more every day.
Matthew Franks
Groom
The man, the myth, the legend. Liz wouldn't marry just anyone - but Matthew made the cut with his handsome face, kind smile, and wit almost as sharp as her own. Along with being a model fiancee, Matthew is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and a Digital Marketing Specialist at Chase. He also loves sports, cheetahs, chocolate peanut butter ice cream, and snuggling with Liz and their dog, Chloe.
Emma Cook
Maid of Honor
Emma is Liz's longest and closest friend, since the first day of 6th grade when they both identified each other as the weirdest person in the room. Emma has been there through every one of Liz's major life events, so it's only fitting that she'll be her Maid of Honor on the big day. In true Emma fashion, keep an eye out for her RBF as she walks down the aisle, and lyrics from Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts" in her speech.
Owen Franks
Best Man
As his younger brother, Owen grew up wanting to emulate Matthew in just about every way (though he'd never admit that now). Despite being four years apart, they grew up close friends and have only gotten closer with age. There's no one in the world that Matthew loves more than Owen (besides Liz of course), and that is why Owen is his best man. Watch out for his potty mouth during his speech - he claims he got it from Matthew and Liz.
Allen White
Officiant
Allen is more than Liz's older brother - he's a confidant, a mentor, a protector and a best friend since the day she was born. In a promise to their mother that day, he swore to look after Liz for his entire life. And, as soon as Matthew joined their family, Allen took yet another younger "sibling" under his wing in a friendship that has grown in tandem with Liz and Matt's relationship. There is no one that knows the two of them better than Allen, which is why they have asked him to officiate their wedding.
Addelynn "Addy" Tucker
Flower Girl
Addy is Liz's niece and the little sister she never thought she'd get. This wild child, flower power flower girl is always the life of the party, so we couldn't resist having her be a part of our special day. Bright, witty, creative and independent, keep an eye out for our Flower Girl, as she just might steal the show from Aunt Liz and Uncle Matt.
Orin Nester
Ring Bearer
Orin is one of the newer additions to the Franks/Nester family, and is responsible for 1) being adorable, and 2) bringing the rings. For accepting to be our ring bearer, we may owe Orin a lifetime supply of Spider Man popsicles, but it's worth it to see this sweet kid walk down the aisle.
Chloe
Liz and Matt's Dog
Chloe won't be in attendance, but she wanted you to know that she's always watching. Unless she's sleeping. Or under a blanket. But other than that, she's always watching, keeping an eye on this ragtag bridal party, and making sure they stay in line.
