Emily & Vladimir

Wedding Party

Ana Karen

Maid of Honor

Ana Karen and I grew up together and have been friends since elementary school. We were roommates at Western where our friendship was solidified over cafeteria food and late night secrets. We have navigated all of life’s big and little moments together and this one is no different.

Matt

Man of Honor

Matt and I have been friends since a competitive game of recess wall ball. I don’t think he knew it then, but our hikes throughout high school gave me space to breathe and grow into the person I am today. Getting to be the best woman at his wedding was such a privilege- it’s only fitting that he’s now my man of honor.

Kelly

Bridesmaid

Kelly’s parents and mine were friends before we were born. My childhood is filled with memories of her- playing outside, school dances, studying for AP tests, XC meets and leadership camp. I don’t remember not knowing her and cannot be more grateful to have her next to me.

Caitlin

Bridesmaid

Caitlin and I met during our first year of teaching in Detroit. I have never met anyone who could resolve a conflict, teach a lab and eat lunch all at the same time. I am constantly wow-ed by who she is and am so grateful to have her as my friend and bridesmaid.

Kellyn

Bridesmaid and Officiant

Kellyn and I met working summers at the state park where we grew up. Between our love of nature, family and Harry Potter, we were fast friends. She’s been a constant voice of reason and gentle support- we are thankful it will be her words of wisdom officiating our big day!
