Matthew & Brittany
Wedding Party!
Tatum
Maid of Honor
My goodness where do I begin? There's not enough words to explain the constant love I have been shown from this girl. She has defended me before knowing what she is defending just because she trusts my heart. She is the true definition of a "ride or die.” I wish I could share all the wild, fun, amazing, deep, enlightening, powerful moments we have shared together. Tatum Elizabeth- I love you!
Ben
Best Man
Where do I start with Ben? I met this beautiful man, my very first day at Saddle Up Saloon. It was Halloween and I was dressed as Jackie Moon, rockin some shorts no man should ever wear. Ben and I hit it off immediately. Within the first month, I moved in as his roommate and we continued to live together for 7 years! You never got Ben without me, as Forrest Gump said, "We was like peas and carrots." haha Through many laughs, tears, countless memories and probably 1 million movies, he has always made me a better person and has never failed to be there for me when needed. Benjamin "Baron Beethoven" Alfrey - I love you dude!
Jamie
Bridesmaid
Jamie was the person I was most nervous to meet in Matt's family. I knew she was not just his sister but also his good friend and that he trusted her opinion. Hearing her tell me that I checked all of the boxes that she had for a wife for Matthew - was one of my favorite moments in life! She is unapologetically herself and I love it. Im so happy that SHE is my sister-in-law and that we will get to forever bond over being married to brothers, motherhood, family, fun, and kings island. I freaking love you Jamie!
Nate
Groomsman
Nate is my oldest brother and my past arch-nemesis! haha This dude was good at EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING (Unless it involved 2 wheeled vehicles). I use to look up to Nate for his athletic ability. Now I look up to him for who he is as a man and as a father. He is by far the most naturally funny person I know and If I can ever be half the man Nate is, I'm doing something right! I couldn't imagine a life without you bro, I love you dude!
Elizabeth
Bridesmaid
Mountains and mountains of love for this one. Elizabeth. Another one of those friends that has loved me with the same gentleness and power at my darkest and at my brightest. 10 years of friendships filled with the deepest growth and the happiest joy. When I first met her I didn't think that we would be able to relate (I connected more with her husband Scott - our officiant) but I quickly realized that every weakness of mine, she had as a beautiful strength and I wanted more of her in my life. From living together, to raising babies together, to confessions, to face masks, and car coffee dates, and prayer, and tears, and dance parties, Elizabeth is a rare. She has loved me so fiercely. I look up to her in every way and I am so thankful for our friendship. I adore you, Elizabeth!
Jacob
Groomsman
I met Jacob at Top Golf 5 Years ago! This dude always worked so hard and I saw him do so much for others, his positivity was infectious! We ended up hanging out that summer at a friends lake house and just slowly became close. 5 years later, he has became one of my closest friends and someone I can always count on in life. I am truly lucky to have this man walk beside me in life! Love you brother!
Erin
Bridesmaid
Erin and I met when our two girls were only babies. We bonded over motherhood and Chick-fil-A. She now is a mommy of 8 amazing kids. I LOVE doing life with her. I want to be more like Erin in every way - as a wife, mommy, daughter, and friend. Erin has the sweetest spirit you will ever meet, but she is a force. She is a constant friend that has loved me with the same strength at my best and at my worst. Also for six years she has said to me "I know you will find someone. I just know it. Its going to happen and its going to be so beautiful." She was right :) I love you, Erin Moore!
Thomas
Groomsman
Thomas is Britts Oldest brother! Thomas has made me feel like I am part of the family from the minute I met him. He has always been there for fun, wisdom, and complete love and acceptance of exactly who we are. He is truly a light in a dark world and I couldn't imagine not having him stand with Britt and I as we make this incredible decision! I am happy to be able to call you family! We love you Thomas!
Lindsay
Bridesmaid
Lindsay was my first friend ever when I moved to Indy. She is so warm, so inviting, so hilarious, and so wonderful. She has been there through the thick and the thin, the sickness, the growth, the pain, the transitions, all of it. Being with her feels like home. She is so easy to be around and I am beyond grateful for the consistent, precious, faithfulness, and effortless friendship of hers. I love you, Linds!
Kevin
Groomsman
Kev is Britt's Brother in Law! Kev has a natural way of bringing peace to any situation. He has given great advice and positivity throughout our relationship! His presence alone brings comfort! Im truly grateful to know Kev and happy to have him stand with us! We love you Kev!
Kiriana
Bridesmaid
My sister-in-law! Not only is she the absolutely perfect for my brother (in literally every single way), she is my friend. I love hanging out with her. She is the easiest person to be around. She is soft and kind but knows what she wants. I love the way she communicates. She has given my heart so much peace to know my brother is adored and cared for by such a beautiful person. The sister I always wanted :)
Grant
Groomsman
Grant is Britt's Big Brother! Hands down the one I was most nervous to meet! haha Grant is a man of character and integrity and truly lives by it. He has a great way of, leading by example. I know he has influenced Britt a lot in her life and in the short time I've known him, he has done the same for me! I am grateful to be able to learn and grow, in many ways, having him a part of my life. We couldn't imagine not having you stand with us! We love you Grant!
Jenn
Bridesmaid
I met Jenn over 3 years ago through my job (she's a #bossbabe) and was instantly drawn to her. She has the type of personality that everyone loves and relates to. Jenn is someone that I can call and talk to about anything. She is an amazing listener and has always loved me and appreciated me for exactly who I am (even the annoying parts haha!). She is always checking in on me, asking me good questions, and just being a great friend. I love your heart and that brilliant brain of yours, Jenn!
Shaun
Groomsman
Shaun and I go way back to my start at Saddle Up Saloon. I've known him for 8 years and we ran around a lot of the same people. In the last few years, Shaun and I have became brothers. This is truly a man who has never said no, when I've needed anything. Shaun will always find a way to be there for people and lend a helping hand. I value this man in my life and I am truly grateful for his friendship! Love you brother!
Abigail
Bridesmaid
I met Abby a few years ago... in a bathroom... at a bar haha! We bonded over Jesus, beer, and guns. Abby quickly became such an amazing friend. She has such a positive and encouraging heart. She is a great listener and wears her big heart on her sleeve. She makes me laugh every single day. Abigail will add joy to any situation. She’s a prayer warrior and her confidence is in Jesus alone. She's the boujiest, country girl you will ever meet - yeeyee! & I love her heart & big personality. I love you, Abby!
Chad
Groomsman
Mr. Chad Bechel - Chad is yet another one of my brothers, who has always been there for me. His demeanor can change your energy in a second. The love he makes his friends feel every time Hes around is 1 of a kind. He once almost made me ruin my jeans, on the interstate, in his BMW. That was pretty cool. haha I couldnt imagine not having Chad next to me on my wedding day. Love you brother!
Britney
Bridesmaid
Coop. This girl is a constant overflow of new insight. We've stayed up all night talking heartbreak and dreams. We've studied our pasts and fought like hell to learn the art of existing and thriving throughout all the curve balls of life - divorce, family, motherhood, religion. She balances me out. Always one to observe, nurture, and retain the nuances of life. Cooper- you are a joy to ebb and flow with. You are the big sister I never had and I love you!
Jon
Groomsman
Jon, single handedly ruined my life. I met him through a couple friends and he hired me at Saddle Up to barback and eventually trained me to bartend. When I met him, we were at the gym and I knew who he was, so I introduced myself. Im pretty sure Jon, didn't like me off the bat! haha After starting at Saddle and working with him, we became close. We have been through quite a bit and this man has always supported me and helped guide me in life. I am very grateful to have Jon as a brother! I stood next to him during his wedding and i couldnt imagine not having him next to me during mine! I love you brother!
Jenn
Bridesmaid
Jenn is one of Matt's best friends & now mine! She is fantastic in every way. She has tried to get to know me from the moment she realized that Matt cared about me. She is so generous, kind, and always, always there for us. Jenn knows how to love. Plus she is so fun. Hanging out with her is simple, joyful, encouraging and sweet. We are so happy to know her and to have her in our life. I love you, Jenn!
Devon
Groomsman
Devon is technically my "Step Brother" but if you ask Nate and myself, Devon is just our "Brother". I have been blessed to have this man as one of my big brothers, since I was 2 years old. Devon excelled at everything in his life, at a much faster pace than I did. haha I always admired Devon's tenacity and drive. As adults, Devon is one of my best friends! From vacations with the goon squad to weekend nights and special occasions, Devon is always there! My life would look very different if you weren't a part of it! I am a better person having you to grow up next you, I love you bro!
Bart Parker
Usher
Barty boy. Britt's second oldest brother. He is always there to keep things silly and light. Britt loves laughing with him. He is such a big helper and loves being the best big brother ever to Britt. He loves being protective. He'll be and say whatever you need him to make you feel special. He is wonderful in every way and we are so thrilled to have him as our one and only Usher on our big day!
Jacob Graham
Groomsman
Jake is my favorite little brother! I remember the day he came home from the hospital, stole my role as the youngest and bumped me into the middle child role. Jake has exceled at many things in life, he has a very bright mind, an amazing sense of humor and the ability to make me feel inferior with every conversation! haha I am very grateful to have you in my life brother and I love you more than you'll ever know buddy!
