Wedding Party
Emilee Helena
Bride
Emilee grew up in Nampa, Idaho with her three siblings; Elizabeth, Elijah, and Elias. As the oldest of the “four E’s” she rarely did anything alone and loved being involved in everything, from playing Wii in the living room to wrestling the boys outside with the dogs. In 2017, her family moved to Meridian, where Emilee attended Meridian High School, made lifelong friends through band, and first became familiar with Brycen’s name. Someone she’d reconnect with after high school. In 2020, during lockdown, Emilee and Brycen reconnected and quickly fell in love, spending their time painting, bowling, and taking long drives filled with conversation. This September, they celebrate six years together, and Emilee is so excited to begin this next chapter, grateful for everyone here to celebrate the greatest love of her life.
Brycen Grout
Groom
Brycen grew up in Meridian, Idaho as the youngest of three, alongside his older siblings Dylan and Michalis. He spent much of his childhood playing sports like baseball, basketball, and soccer, but swimming became the one that truly stuck. Years in the pool taught Brycen that hard work pays off and shaped the discipline he carries with him today. When Brycen met Emilee in 2020, the first thing he noticed was how close she was with her family and it was also the first thing he loved about her. As time went on, he continued to fall for everything about her, from the way she connects with her family and friends to watching her chase her dreams. There was never a doubt in his mind that she was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
Elizabeth Oman
Maid of Honor
Elizabeth is the bride’s sister, but more importantly, Emilee’s built-in best friend. Growing up as Irish twins, they were inseparable sharing music, hobbies, adventures, and occasionally the classic sister arguments that always ended in laughter. Their bond has only deepened with time, and now, as adults, they continue to navigate every chapter of life side by side. Elizabeth has been a constant source of joy, support, and shared memories for Emilee, and there’s no one she’d rather have standing beside her on this day.
Dylan Davis
Best Man
Dylan is Brycen’s older brother and the very first friend he made in life. Growing up together meant shared rooms, shared stories, and a lifetime of memories. Dylan taught Brycen countless life lessons while always reminding him how to have fun. Because of the bond they share, there’s no better person to stand beside Brycen as his Best Man on one of the biggest days of his life
Michalis Davis
Bridesmaid
Michalis is Brycen’s older sister, but quickly became so much more to Emilee. From the very beginning, the two clicked effortlessly, bonded by shared traits, humor, and the mutual understanding that comes with being older siblings. Their relationship is filled with laughter, playful teasing, and an easy comfort that has only grown stronger with time. While Emilee never experienced having an older sister growing up, she feels incredibly grateful to have found one in Michalis, and is honored to have her as part of this chapter of life.
Isaac Oman
Groomsman
Isaac is the newest member of Emilee’s family as Elizabeth’s husband. Isaac and Brycen quickly bonded as two quieter individuals stepping into a loud, outgoing family. They share a love for nerdy movies and games, often sitting back at family gatherings, laughing along, and occasionally chiming in with a perfectly timed sarcastic remark. Though they aren’t related by blood, their bond has grown quickly and naturally into brotherhood. Without hesitation, Brycen asked Isaac to stand beside him on one of the biggest days of his life.
Cait Davis
Bridesmaid
Cait is someone Emilee has always appreciated for her warmth and her kindness and attentiveness. From the very beginning, Cait welcomed Emilee with openness and kindness, and always offering support through each season. As Brycen’s sister-in-law and soon Emilee’s as well, it is especially meaningful to have Cait standing beside her as she begins this next chapter. Emilee is thankful for Cait’s presence in her life and honored to have her as part of this day
Elias Helena
Groomsman
Elias is the youngest sibling in Emilee’s family, a role he and Brycen instantly connected over. Brycen never had the chance to experience having a younger brother, but through knowing Elias over the years, he’s been able to experience the very best parts of it. Watching Elias grow from a hyper young teen into a hardworking young man has shown Brycen what it truly means to be an older sibling. Because of that bond, Brycen couldn’t imagine celebrating this beautiful day without his youngest brother standing beside him.
Alexis feldmeir
Bridesmaid
Emilee and Alexis’ relationship began at work, where they quickly bonded over their craft. What started professionally grew into a friendship rooted in alignment, laughter, and mutual understanding both in and out of the salon. They can make light of any situation, and every conversation somehow ends the same way “What can we do, we’re just girls.” A phrase that perfectly captures their relationship, and one that makes Emilee so grateful to have Alexis be part of this day.
Elijah Helena
Groomsman
Elijah is Emilee’s oldest younger brother, and he and Brycen immediately connected over a shared love of video games and poking Emilee’s buttons. Brycen has always enjoyed having Elijah around, as the two can easily find conversation or find themselves causing a little trouble together. They’re known for teasing each other and debating the silliest topics just to see who can argue better. Over the years, their bond has grown into a genuine friendship that extends far beyond being brothers-in-law.
