Mariah Menard
Maid of Honor
If you have seen Mariah and Kaylee together, you have probably mistaken them for sisters. Mariah and Kaylee became inseparable shortly after meeting and have shared so much life and adventure together over the years. Kaylee and Mariah both grew up with brothers and that fact is revealed in the way that they both approach life. You will probably find Kaylee and Mariah out in public looking like ragamuffins after late night conversations. The pair loves to travel and explore and is always trying to rally people for a camping trip or Tijuana excursion (maybe that's mostly Kaylee).

From work to rock climbing, to skiing, to ping pong or playing music, Emma is the queen of all trades and Kaylee laughs her way through trying (failing) to keep up.
