Josh Rapacz - Best Man
Josh has been the groom's best friend since, well, about birth. Living next door to each other in Norridge, IL ensured that they grew close as they grew up. When Matt moved halfway across the world, Josh was sure to stay in touch. When Josh enlisted in the U.S. Army and was deployed overseas, they stayed in touch. Upon his return he became a Woodstock, IL police officer, got married, had two children, and still managed to stay in touch. Josh has been one of the most constant presences in the groom's life, and has always been like a brother to him.

Tim Coates - Groomsman
Tim is the groom's multi-talented uncle. Tim is an accomplished musician, has a multitude of degrees and certificates, is a phenomenal BBQ chef, has an abundance of hobbies, and has a great sense of humor. A few decades ago Tim added to his list of skills by becoming a Chicago police officer. Never afraid to take on a project, his home is his workshop. Seeing Tim work on projects, like moving his car stereo into the glove compartment to avoid a second theft, was a great influence on the groom, and certainly contributed to his ability to start unfamiliar projects. He is, quite a guy.

James Strong - Groomsman
James, yet another multi-talented member of the wedding party. James can go straight from preparing a gourmet meal to rebuilding an engine in no time flat. Remarkable creativity combined with a powerful intellect allow him to bounce between fields and abilities without effort. His first love was engines and anything mechanical. In fact he was fabricating custom airplane parts before he was a teenager. Later in life he pursued his passion for cooking, and produced amazing plates of food at several of Chicago's high-end restaurants. Now he is studying large ship design in New Orleans, and fabricating custom scientific apparatuses for the university. If you have an idea, James is the kind of person that will absolutely be able to help turn it into a reality.
