Rachel & Matthew
Wedding Party
Lauren Thomas
Maid of Honor
Rachel met Lauren her freshman year of college and through the years have gone through the ups and downs of being in your twenties together. She's been a constant hype woman and challenges Rachel in the best way!
Jacob Antin
Best Man
Matthew has known Jacob his whole life. Their moms met each other in Moms and Tots. Jacob is quick to listen and always the first to give wise counsel. He has a sense of humor that makes everyone laugh! Plus, he can read Matthew’s mind in most moments!
Sophia Thompson
Bridesmaid
The MATCHMAKER! Rachel and Phia (as Rach calls her) were roommates freshman year of college and truly best friends from the start. She introduced the couple to one another and they both are forever grateful:)
Nick Fischer
Groomsman
Nick is the most positive man Matthew knows. He is a kind and genuine person. Their conversations never fail to be funny, deep, thoughtful, and connecting. Nick is the kind of person that will always put a smile on your face. Nick and Matthew always know what the other is thinking.
Gianna Dickinson
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Gianna were interns for their church together during summer 2023 and truly hit it off immediately. Gianna has always been down to talk through the tough stuff with Rach and always ready for a quick run to Postino's!
Ryan Kassabaum
Groomsman
Ryan never fails to make Matthew laugh. They met in 7th grade and quickly started to spend most of the summer together. Ryan lived down the street and they would play basketball, Xbox games and more until late into the nights!
Jade Backenkeller
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Jade met working for the GCU marketing team freshman year and although hesitant at first (because of Rachel's love for the color pink and Jade's lack thereof) found out they were perfect friends. Jade is the best cheerleader and always willing to serve the people around her and an answered prayer for Rach.
Levi Guerengomba
Groomsman
Levi is kind. He is an advocate. The two met in college and he quickly became one of Matthew’s best friends. They joined small groups together and walked with each other through deep parts of one another’s lives. Levi will make you feel like the most special person in the room.
Maddie Garcia
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Maddie also met through GCU’s social team and have grown closer as friends each year. Maddie is always a good example of what it looks like to love and serve others like Jesus and always speaks truth over Rach in the hard moments!
Adam Leary
Groomsman
Adam was the best college roommate Matthew could ask for. A godly man, a man who walks with integrity and works hard. He will always make you smile and sees the bright side of everything.
