Wedding Party
Emily Folkema
Maid of Honor
Emily and I have been best friends since we were 7 years old! We have over two decades of sleepovers, inside jokes, and a friendship that’s remained steady and strong, even when life gets busy. She’s not just my oldest friend, she’s truly more like a sister. Her family feels like an extension of my own, and having her by my side on this day means everything. Emily lights up every room she walks into - she is hilarious, sharp, and she naturally makes everyone around her feel welcomed and cared for. Watching her become a mom to baby Camden (who I ADORE) has been one of the most beautiful things to witness. She and her boyfriend Zach have made the sweetest little family, and I couldn’t be prouder to call her my best friend.
Tyra Hunt
Bridesmaid
Tyra and I have been friends for about six or seven years, and most of that time has been long distance (she now lives in Portland, OR!). Despite the miles, our friendship has never missed a beat. Tyra is an incredible photographer and videographer, with a sharp eye and an unstoppable creative spirit. She’s as driven as she is fiercely loyal - she would go out of her way to be there for the people she loves, no questions asked. She’s also one of the funniest people I know! We are always laughing whether we’re on FaceTime, texting, or lucky enough to hang out in person. Tyra’s care and passion shine through in everything she does, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side.
Caleb Crowe
Best Man
Having my younger brother stand beside me as my best man means a lot to me. Even though he's the younger one, he's always been someone I've looked up to in a lot of ways. He’s intelligent, witty, and a great listener. I'm so proud of the man he's become, and there's no one else l'd rather have by my side on such an important day.
