Kyle & Emily
Wedding Party
Emily Blumenthal
Bride
The better half. California girl. BA, BSN, MS and soon-to-be Mrs. #islandlifeislandwife
Kyle Willcott
Groom
The better-looking half. Kansas boy. I don’t have cool acronyms.
Leah Loewenthal
Maid of Honor
Our moms were sorority sisters, so we go way back. Womb to tomb! California girl, best friend, travel buddy and closest thing I have to a sister! Loves coaching basketball and works in finance.
Ryan Willcott
Best Man
The one on the right. Brother of the groom. Best friends since 1990. Majority of my scars are from him.
Michelle Coffee
Bridesmaid
Best friend (and unofficial roommate) in nursing school. Lives in Nashville, bakes cakes like you've never seen before and works as an OR nurse. Fellow travel buddy and world traveler. Always willing to drop anything to be there for you!
Josh Greene
Best Man
The one on the left. Best friends since pre-school. He’s my other brother from another mother.
Sam Meade
Bridesmaid
This chick. We weren't friends at all, then we met for cocktails and we've been best friends ever since. A fellow California girl. Also getting ready for her own wedding in July!
Joe Zappone
Groomsman
I met Joe through Josh during my freshman year of college. Josh and Joe were roommates sophomore through senior year, so we were usually all always doing something together on the weekends.
Kaitlyn Day
Bridesmaid
Being from the East coast, Kaitlyn and I bonded because we were both in Galveston alone and without family. When her appendix ruptured, she listed me as her emergency contact. I was honored! And I’m honored again to have her as my bridesmaid!
Curtis Beall
Groomsman
The responsible one. Curtis is the older of the Beall brothers (cousins on the Willcott side). He’s 1 month younger than me, so we’ve grown up and lived the majority of our lives together.
Sam Huston
Bridesmaid
We met in Prague when we shared a 2-bedroom AirBNB. Turned out we were there by ourselves and decided to be friends! Technically a California girl, lives in Florida, works as a teacher and loves her sweet Yorkie pup, Denzie, and boyfriend, Michael.
Brian Beall
Groomsman
The younger of the Beall brothers (and youngest Willcott cousin), Brian was usually the one that got picked on. We became a lot closer living together in college. Since he doesn’t have a kid, he can have more fun than Curtis.
Robyn Bianchin
Bridesmaid
We became friends in kindergarten, then Robyn moved to Washington state in third grade. Although we don't see each other often, we can pick up wherever we left off. The sign of a true friend!
Jefferson Blumenthal
Groomsman
Brother of the bride and awesome photographer. All pictures under the “photos” section were taken by him.
Nancie Blumenthal
Mother of the Bride
Been friends for 28 years!
Bruce Blumenthal
Father of the Bride
The reason why we get to have a hell of a wedding!
Yvonne Willcott
Mother of the Groom
The reason why Ryan and I are (somewhat) disciplined.
Dan Willcott
Father of the Groom
The reason why Ryan and I like to have a good time.
Zach Robinson
Usher
Zach likes to have a good time. Here he is with his best friend, Barry Bong.
Jamie Deuser
Officiant
A pastor in Chicago, Cousin Jamie is one of our most beloved relatives. We couldn't ask for a more meaningful person to be our officiant.
Boomer & Bodie Willcott
Ring Bearer
Boomer is obviously the most qualified. Bodie will be wedding ready, hopefully...prayers are appreciated.
Jason Morton
Ring Bearer
The ring bearer-bearer. He gets to try to control Bodie down the aisle. Good luck (Liam Neeson voice)
