The Matta Wedding
Our Wedding Party
Kristie “Krew” Kreuter
Maid of Honor
Hi! My name is Kristie (aka Krew). I've known Fish since we were 5 years old. We grew up next door to each other and have been sisters ever since. I'm a medical insurance specialist. I like to binge watch true crime and I love Halloween. I am a fur-baby momma to a precious 92 lb. pit bull named Tony. I'm so excited to celebrate this special occasion with Fish and my second husband ;) because Fish and I have been through every life milestone together and I can't wait to add this one to the list. ♥️
Chris "Bun" Matta
Best Man
Brother of the groom. I have known Eddie my whole life and have been close since day one. Living in different states has had no effect on our brotherhood. We video chat extremely often. Weekly, Alice, Eddie and I video chat, connect playing "Mario party" online, talk about life, and inspire each other to grow. I am Chris, AKA "Bun". I'm married to my beautiful wife Amy. We have a house in Massachusetts, along with two dobermans "Vegas and Deniro". Watching my brother grow, seeing him happy, and gaining a sister are the reasons I'm excited to celebrate this milestone in their lives.
Taylor “Tay” Morris
Maid of Honor
The friendship you both have given me throughout the last decade is worth more than gold and to be a part of such an exciting event, celebrating the love you both share is such an honor! Hello, I'm Taylor! I travel frequently for work and love to be out in nature. I grew up in Central Florida, and will always call it home. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing both Eddie and Alice throughout many phases of my life and they have never been shy to jump in wherever is needed and be such an incredible support system and voice of reason. Some of my most favorite memories include them, so watching how how they have and will continue to commit the rest of their lives together will be such a privilege! ♥️
Zach Webb
Groomsman
20 years of a deep soul bond that words get lost on. If there’s anything I know about Eddie, it’s every step he takes is with intention in building personal legacy through meaningful memories & experiences. He is the most present person I know. Wether it’s music, food, experiences, or just sharing an arbitrary thing he has discovered, he is an artist that creates things to talk about, to remember, and to cherish. It’s sacred to him, and sacred because of him. I know the same will apply to the family Alice, and Eddie are creating together, and I feel really lucky to be a part of, what I know will be, the most sacred memory they will both hold in their hearts for the rest of their lives. Eddie, and I met at a New Years 2003 party in a backyard. His punk band was performing, so I went to check out this cool new band mutual friends had been talking about. The band?…not good (sorry, Eddie) - but Eddie was the most charismatic, talented and exciting drummer I had ever seen. I knew I had to know him. We became inseparable. Best friends, family, and musical soulmates. He’s been my voice when I didn’t have one, and I’m grateful to/for him forever. I met beautiful Alice in 2018. Her energy felt immediately familiar and lovely, just like Eddies did when I met him. In my heart, I feel them both the same way. It’s no surprise to me at all that they complement one another the way they do. I am proud to know them both.
Briana “Bri” Cafiero
Bridesmaid
Hi, my name is Briana or you can call me Bri! I work at a veterinary clinic and I absolutely love it. When I’m not at work I love shopping, spending time with my dog and I love spending time with Alice whenever our busy schedules allow it! I have known Alice for 10+ years and I’ve never been more grateful for this long lasting friendship. I consider Alice family, which is why I am so happy to be apart of Alice and Eddie’s special milestone in their lives! Cheers to Alice and Eddie!!!! #makeitmatta
Jordan "Juice" Roberson
Groomsman
Having known the groom, Eddie for a long time, I can’t wait to see him and Alice share their love with family and friends. Eddie is one of those people that you remember meeting. There is not a person I know that doesn’t have a great story involving Eddie’s kindness or humor. He is a truly one of a kind person that deserves all the love he exudes to others. I am Jordan Roberson (they call me Juice in the streets!) I am a father of twins and have been with my partner for 11 years. We currently live in Nashville, Tennessee after having lived in Florida our whole lives. I have been in two bands with Eddie, We are Medicine and It’s Alive. I like to think we could have had a rap career too but that’s another story for another time. Eddie and I went to the same middle school where I’m certain we met or crossed paths. We truly began our friendship in high school during a “senior lunch day” where we spent it in our friend Steve’s garage playing metal covers. From then on, fate would have us becoming more like brothers than friends. We share a matching tattoo!!
Amber Wilkinson
Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Amber. Alice and I are cousins and grew up together always laughing and getting into some of shinanigans! We were more like sisters than cousins. I can’t wait to spend this special day with her and Eddie and see what the future holds for this amazing couple!
Jeremiah "JJ" Wheaton
Groomsman
Eddie has been a close friend for 2 decades and is one of the nicest, and most genuine people I’ve met. Eddie has always been searching for “The One” and I’m so happy he finally found her. My name is Jeremiah, aka “JJ”. I have been with my beautiful wife Ashley for 17 years and we have 3 boys together. Im contractor and own my business called Florida professional remodeling. From the “honey please dos” to the “Honey please don’ts” used to be my slogan and Eddie’s favorite thing to say Haha. I did Alice and Eddie’s home renovation. “The Godfather” or “Uncle Eddie” as my kids call him, met 20 years ago. We’ve been playing drums together as much as possible over the years. Back in the day we used to go dancing downtown at Ibar with Jordan (aka “Juice”) during our emo girl pants wearing times. When my oldest child was being born, Eddie, Zach, and Juice were all at the hospital before we were, that’s true friendship. All and all we been like brothers since the beginning and look forward to being great friends til the end.
Emily Heil
Bridesmaid
My name is Emily and I am one of Alyssa’s cousins (her favorite cousin). Even though, we have never lived in the same state, we go way back making many wonderful memories. Every time we visited each other, it was like we had never been apart. Some memories consist of climbing trees, swinging off of trees, making forts behind the cabin, making tie dye shirts, swimming in the ocean (at which she got stung by a jelly fish and I offered to pee on it…she declined), enjoying Disney rides, soaking in the hot tub, mattress sliding down the stairs, and her trying her best to teach me to pole dance. We have been there for each other through the happy times and the hard times. Our relationship is one I will cherish forever. When I first met Eddie, I was caught off guard by how he always referred to “my Alyssa” as “Alice.” Then when I found out many people referred to her as “Alice,” I had to explain she will always be Alyssa to me, my Alyssa. I immediately saw how Eddie made Alyssa laugh, smile, and talked to her like a best friend. We are “blessed” to have him part of our family. I am honored to be a part of their big day and excited to celebrate the loving couple. I wish them many years of love and happiness.
Max Ramery
Groomsman
Two of the most amazing people I have ever met. Beautiful Soul with kind hearts. I hold them to the highest regards. I am excited for what’s to come in the future. I am Dennis Maximillion Ramery just a simple man in a complex world. I live my life with Respect, Love and Loyalty. And never with regrets. You only live once so you might as well be the best you can. Just grateful for my friends and family and loved ones. Eddie and I crossed paths. One night when I went to pick up Bun to go to a party. And the garage door was open and I met the band practicing that Eddie was the drummer for but little did I know i just met a brother for life. Years later I had the honor of meeting the bride to be in Boston for buns wedding and she was a keeper and so happy they compliment each other so well. Blessed to be apart of the special day.
