Wedding Party
Lily Ayotte
Maid of Honor
One of Emma's earliest memories is of her parents asking her & her brother Max, what they thought of the name Lily. Emma's excitement to be a big sister has never waned, from that moment on. Over the years, Emma & Lily have grown closer & closer, always there for each other (and usually chatting daily on Facetime). Lily lives in Boston & works in the theater industry.

Bonus sister! When Max brought Savannah home to meet the family in 2018, Emma & Sav were fast friends! She's one of the most creative & empathetic people you'll meet... and the QUEEN of karaoke. Savannah lives in New Hampshire and works as a Behavior Therapist while also completing grad school
Joann Snyder
Bridesmaid
Emma & Joann quickly bonded over their roles as camp counselors at Boys & Girls Club in 2016...& their love of Beyonce. Weekends visiting each other usually end with pj-dance-parties & laughing at themselves until they cry. Joann lives in New Hampshire & works as a Speech Language Pathologist.

Taylor Handy
Bridesmaid
Emma & Taylor met in college & moved to Boston together in 2018! Sitting on their kitchen floor over one of Taylor's notoriously creative Trader Joe's dinners; they giggled & daydreamed & stepped into adult-life side by side. She is sunshine in human form & will definitely be on the dance floor more than anyone. Taylor lives in Boston and works as a Business Strategy & Growth Specialist.
Megan Stewart
Bridesmaid
Megan & Emma met in college, living in the same dorm & eventually moving into the same off campus apartment (sorry you never got your walk-in closet/extra living room/at home gym/craft room Meg!). Megan's infectious laughter & inherent exuberance is magnetic. Megan lives in Waltham and works as a Paralegal.
Tamra Cardoza

Tamra & David met in high school but became best friends after graduating. When Tamra started posting Instagram stories playing the drums, David reached out & (kindly) demanded they start a band.
