Emma & Anthony
Wedding Party
Camille Conard
Maid of Honor
Hi, I’m Camille! I’m Emma’s (not so little) sister and Co-Maid of Honor. I’ve mirrored Emma for most of my life, so much so that I’m studying Animal Science at Penn State to hopefully pursue a career in animal conservation and ecology. When I get a break from schoolwork, you can most likely find me adventuring with my parents or boyfriend, and probably searching for a cool rock or flower. I’m also a proud aunt to Declan (the ringbearer) and dog/cat mom to Ninja, Moose, O’Malley, and Guinness. Words can’t describe how excited and honored I am to be a part of Em and Ant’s special day.
Paul Casella

It’s an honor the be the Best Man at this wedding, and I couldn’t be luckier to have such a great brother and wonderful new sister-in-law!!!! My wife Sara and I are happily married since May '24. We currently live in Chester NJ, with 2 dogs and two cats, and we are looking to extend our family soon ;). Maybe some chickens. Or pigs. Or goats. Actually you know what, probably just children. Hope you enjoy the wedding!!
Alexa Williams
Maid of Honor
Hello! I'm Lex, the other Co-Maid of Honor and Emma's other Sister. I have been blessed to know Emma and Anthony closely since our time in college. Emma and I started as Sorority Sisters in Omega Chi and continued our bonding through love of music, art, and birds if you can believe it. Ant and Emma have been a huge part of my life over the years, and I could not be happier to play such a huge role in celebration of their ongoing love for each other. I live in Philadelphia with my many animals (shocking, I know!) and am senior business development associate at a veterinary acquisition firm. Yes, it is a mouthful, I basically call vet owners who might want to partner with my team while figuring out their retirement plan. I look forward to meeting all the people that are special to Emma and Anthony as they embark on the next chapter of their lives! See you there!
Damon Barley
Groomsman
Hello! I’m Damon, and I currently live in Denville, NJ with my wonderful partner, Christina, and our two dogs (Bentley & Dixon). Anthony and I have been friends since before we could talk, with a friendship that has spanned for 28 years and counting. One of my favorite memories was staying up way too late (sorry, Stacy!) to watch anime & play RuneScape. We would have some of the best conversations during those times and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. Looking forward to celebrating the union between Anthony, his soulmate, Emma, and with all of you!
Abigail Spratley
Bridesmaid
I was lucky enough to meet Emma through our class Facebook page right before we started at DelVal and then roomed with her all throughout college! I don't know how I would have gotten through college without her and our late night laughs as I was trying to find a comfortable position to fall asleep. She's the peanut butter to my jelly! She'll forever be my roomie in my heart, but these days I live in New Orleans with my boyfriend and our golden retriever. I am working my dream job at the Audubon Zoo where I'm thankful to take care of the amazing primates there. Some of my favorites are the siamangs, mandrills, and tamarins! As for Anthony, as the roomie I got to watch their relationship grow from that very first night and see how unbelievably happy they've made each other from the beginning. I couldn't be happier to stand by Emma's side when she says "I do" to the man of her dreams.
James Yenesel
Groomsman
Hello there! My name is James Yenesel, long time wedding goer and first time Groomsman. I’m born and raised in New Jersey, with sprinklings of Montana summers. I’ve known Anthony since middle school, but our friendship truly started in the year following High School. I can fondly remember of pick-up games of soccer, and being absolutely terrified of Ant’s tackling skills. I still have the scars from the studs of his cleats on my shins, we would use this to our advantage playing for a local rec-league a few years later. He introduced me to the large world of EDM and the hilarious late hours spent after discussing meme’s, repeating phrases that were their own inside jokes for months, and the long conversations on life, love, everything in between. I am beyond honored to be called a friend, groomsman, and everything in between by both Anthony & Emma. They are loving friends, and like many of you are excited to party the night away in celebration of the two.
Courtney Deutsch
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Courtney. My friendship with Emma began over FB and was forged in the chaotic dorms of freshman year at DelVal, where our shared need of French fries at every meal evolved into a symbol of our indomitable, mischievous spirits. From paint wars on the quad, heartfelt conversations at any and all hours, and nights that led into hazy mornings, we quickly became partners in crime. The roomies will never forget Emma excitedly sharing first impressions of Anthony. Those conversations marked the beginning of a journey filled with laughter, adventure, and countless hours of Abby being banned from their room. I have so many amazing memories with Emma throughout the years, but above all else, I cherish every moment of watching Emma and Anthony grow together. Post-college life took me to the bustling concrete jungle of NYC where I now navigate urban living in Brooklyn with my sassy cat Pinot. As a Wild Animal Keeper with the Bronx Zoo and Vice Coordinator for the Bolivian Gray Titi Monkey SSP, I spend my days intricately caring for animals of all shapes and sizes & managing the genetics of a captive population of some of the sweetest monkeys. My unwavering support remains for Emma and Anthony as they celebrate their love. Witnessing their bond evolve into something truly extraordinary fills me with joy for 2 incredible souls. Here’s to the nights we will always remember and to the love that guides us home. Cheers to a beautiful couple and the promise of a beautiful life ahead.
Anthony Cordero
Groomsman
Hi! I’m Anthony Cordero (otherwise known by my gamer name Torn) and I live in Rockaway NJ. Anthony and I met through mutual friends from Morris Knolls. While we went to the same school, we actually became friends after graduation. Our mutual friend, Nick, also, a member of the bridal party, Introduced me to Anthony. We share a love of music and frequently go to concerts and festivals together. Emma, Anthony and I recently went to Lost Lands music festival together and had the time of our lives. Our friend group enjoys game nights, bowling, bonfires and many late night video game sessions. I am so happy to be included in this special couples happy day.
Diana Manners
Bridesmaid
As one of Emma's randomly assigned college roommates, we didn't have to become best friends. However, when I found out about her cookie cutter collection, I felt we may be meant for friendship! Ten years of great memories (and great snacks) later, and I am still so grateful for our South Hall dorm. I moved to Texas for about five years after graduation and just recently moved my things back north. When we all meet up, I will have returned from my backpacking trip through Europe, so hopefully, I will have some international dance moves to add to the festivities! Watching Emma and Anthony's relationship grow from our college days to our "adulting" days has convinced me (somewhat begrudgingly) that love is not a lie. Till death do they part and till the last song shall we celebrate on the dance floor
Kyle Smith
Groomsman
Hey there! I’m Kyle, and currently live in Orange County, CA with my beautiful wife Megan, our two dogs (Charlie and Kora) and two cats (Flick and Louise). Anthony and I met through mutual connections in high school and became fast friends! The many days and nights spent laughing ourselves into delirium, countless hardcore gaming sessions supplemented by far too much Mountain Dew for any two human beings to safely consume, spontaneous late-night trips to 7-11 to see Ant fill a Double Gulp size cup with 4 different flavors of Slurpee (which we found out is something like 1400 calories), and a wealth of heart-to-heart conversations held in the wee hours of the night are all some of my fondest memories that I will cherish forever. Anthony is a true friend, and I am so grateful to be celebrating such a special day with him and all of you!
Aleah Wolfe
Bridesmaid
Hey there! My name is Aleah and while I'm currently living in North Carolina, my story with the happy couple started longgggg ago in Doylestown, PA. I first met Emma during our freshman year of college when we were neighbors. From late night study sessions to becoming "honorary roommates", teammates and the dance team, and sorority sisters, there's never been a dull moment in our friendship. Emma is a part of some of my favorite memories, and I wouldn't have it any other way. She's always an ear for listening (even until 5am), a shoulder for crying on, and a partner in crime to dance with for hours on end. For all the good that makes Emma who she is, it takes a special person to complement this - Anthony does just that. I remember when they first met and Emma beaming from ear to ear as she talked about him. Not much has changed because I still see that same smile on her face in 2024. I could not be happier to celebrate these two and I can't wait for the big day!
Nick DeMaio
Groomsman
Hey, my name is Nick DeMaio. I've known Anthony forever as we have gone through school together our whole lives. Even after high school, we kept in touch and talk almost daily amongst our friend group. When Anthony introduced Emma to us, I knew they would end up together. Their personalities and likes mesh together like no other couple! I wish them both a happy and successful marriage! I'm very proud to be apart of their special day! Salúte!
Gina Marie
Bridesmaid
Emma and I first met when she started working at Zwahlen’s. I had been working there for a few years at that point but I immediately gravitated towards her because she was the only normal person around. We quickly bonded over our love of loud chaotic music and ice cream and everything else fell into place. Over the years Emma and I grew closer and we spent so much time talking about anything and everything, but mostly Anthony, and I knew I had to keep such a positive person around. Emma is a literal ray of sunshine and always thinking of the people she loves, but throw Anthony into the mix and you get an example of what true love looks like. I’m so honored to stand beside Emma and Anthony on their most triumphant day and witness them tie the knot. The two of them absolutely complete each other and I’m even more honored that I get to be at the rail for it too!!
Jeff Iversen
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Jeff. I live with my wife Devon, my son Owen, and our dog Mowgli. I met Anthony at a friend’s house in 5th grade and have been great friends ever since. We have had so many good times over the years it is impossible to count. Whether our time was spent playing video games, vacationing in Mexico, or shooting tequila out of a glass pistol bottle shouting “High Noon”, I can always count on Ant for good laughs, solid talks, and even better memories.
Anthony Henderson
Bubble Boy
Hello, my name is Anthony, but everybody calls me Henny. I met Casella at Rutgers in 2016 where we shared a house together and we’ve been inseparable ever since. From bonding over music or video games or just general buffoonery, we’ve grown closer and closer while sharing countless laughs and memories throughout the years. He introduced me to Emma and I knew right away she was the one when she lit up the room with her warm personality and indelible charm. When the two of them are together, everybody knows without question the vibes will be immaculate. I live in Pompton Lakes, NJ and work as a senior royalty analyst for Sony Music. Even after their move to PA, I still see them very often as we continue to make memories at concerts, festivals, or on the couch laughing until our sides split. I’m incredibly honored to be apart of this beautiful celebration of two of my most treasured friends’ love and matrimony. Looking forward to meeting everybody and blasting some bubbles!
