Wedding Party
Jordyn Van
Maid of Honor
Jordyn and Emaley lived together throughout most of their college years. What started as just being roommates eventually blossomed into a close friendship (mostly due to their shared quirkiness and oddities). Jordyn has been an invaluable part of Emaley’s life; she has continuously been the voice of reason through hard times and the bright, glowing light during the best times. Her genuine love for those closest to her shows through in her everyday actions and Emaley could not be more excited to share this special day with such an amazing friend.
Camille Phillips
Maid of Honor
There is nothing like having a sister to share your special day with, and Emaley could not be more proud to be Cami’s sibling. Cami is brilliant, hilarious, and so motivated to do what is right. There truly are no dull moments when Cami is around. She can entertain a room with her personality and is never afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Emaley is undeniably honored to have such a powerful, beautiful sister.
Jordyn Daley
Bridesmaid
Although they both grew up in Appleton, Emaley and Jordyn didn’t find each other until becoming coworkers in Madison just after graduation. It didn’t take long for the friendship to grow, and eventually the two found themselves golfing, skiing, and exploring downtown Madison together with their significant others. Jordyn’s infectious laugh and positive outlook are so deeply felt by those around her, and Emaley is so excited to share in this important day with her!
Bailee Brinkman
Bridesmaid
Bailee has an energy that could light up any room. She is eccentric, quirky, and continuously compassionate and grounded. There truly is no one quite like Bailee. Bailee’s grace, comedy, and passion are so unique to her; Emaley and Tyler love her endlessly and are so happy to share this day with her.
Rylee Brinkman
Bridesmaid
Rylee and Emaley have been practicing their new “sister” roles for a while - by picking on each other (as any good sisters do). Rylee is so fun to be around; Tyler and Emaley are excited to have her with them on this special day!
Grant Lee
Best Man
Grant and Tyler have been best friends since fifth grade, which isn’t a surprise because Grant is everybody’s best friend. It seems like just yesterday they were sitting in their dorm at SIU when they made a pact to one day be Best Man at each other’s weddings. Now the day has come and Tyler couldn’t be more honored to fulfill that promise.
Connor Fiaush
Groomsman
Although Connor and Tyler attended rival schools - Ball and Chatham elementary - they became fast friends when they were placed in the same class at the fourth grade merge. Since then they’ve had each other’s backs through it all (apart from when Connor convinces Emaley that the slots are hot when she has Tyler’s wallet).
Greg Nagel
Groomsman
Greg was one of Tyler’s first friends in college. They stuck together through the good, bad and strange times in Carbondale, IL. After witnessing the solar eclipse, college ended and real life began. Several years later they’ve remained close friends, so it’s only fitting that they stand in each other’s weddings.
Freddy Rios
Groomsman
Emaley introduced Freddy to Tyler as “the wild card”. He immediately took Tyler under his wing and got them in (and out) of trouble all over Madison. Freddy’s carefree attitude comes with a big heart, which makes him a big softie for a love story. When they were roommates, Freddy gave Tyler the guts to ask out Emaley, and the rest is history.
Brady Brinkman
Groomsman
Tyler had always wanted a little brother and after 8 long years, Brady finally entered the world. Even though they are in different generations, Brady and Tyler are able to enjoy their time together anywhere they go. Tyler is excited to have Brady stand with the wedding party not only as a brother, but also as a friend.
Miles McAdams
Officiant
Miles and Tyler have been friends for as long as they can remember. Growing up down the street from each other led to so many adventures and a bond worthy of brotherhood. After a lifetime of laughter together, it was a no-brainer to ask Miles to officiate this special day for Emaley and Tyler.
