Emily & Chase
Wedding Party
Rebecca Lauritson
Maid of Honor
Sister, partner in crime, the peanut butter to her jelly, Snow White to her Cinderella, Mario to her Yoshi. Funniest person Emily knows. Road trips, Harry Potter marathons, California Rodeos, movie quote quizzes, Hot Cheetos airplane rides, pool days and a lifetime of memories. Couldn't imagine anyone else by her side!
Tyler Sloan
Best Man
Met at Tyler's 6th birthday party, inseparable ever since.
Erica da Motta
Bridesmaid
Spreckels, Buena Vista, Salinas High School. Fellow music lover, concert goer, and traveler. Driving on the opposite side of the road, horse riding in the ocean, and stingray city in the Cayman Islands was a lifetime memory! Also, #momgoals. She's too cool.
Chris Hunt
Best Man
UK to the USA, Chase met Chris in college and bonded over making fun of each other. Chase's favorite field goal kicker in the world.
Missy Elrod
Bridesmaid
The glue, the life of the party, thoughtful soul. Emily accidentally caught the bouquet at her wedding, yet she still included her in the best girlfriend group around. They've agreed to disagree JT is better than *NSYNC.
Calean Gruening
Groomsman
Just like Chase, but different.
Taryn Gruening
Bridesmaid
Emily's soon to be sis-in-law and Chase's younger sister! Creative, funny, beautiful and an incredible momma to Ayva Lou. Grateful to have her stand by our sides on the most important day. Even more grateful to have a partner to team up with against Chase.
Luke Hockaday
Groomsman
Threw Chase's only touchdown reception and introduced him to the insurance OGs.
Amber Ledgerwood
Bridesmaid
Heart of gold, fellow enneagram two, yet leader of the mischief. Makes everything better. Consistently opens her home in the most magical place in Lieper's Fork, Tennessee. OH...and has a llama named Karl. Enough said.
Josh Ingold
Groomsman
Roommates throughout college, fellow meathead, consumed many raw eggs together.
Heather Milburn
Bridesmaid
Met for the first time on a Vegas girls trip and bonded over Miller Lite's on the strip. Hallmark movie lovers, birthday twinkies, and would prefer Christmas year round. Sweetest soul, fierce friend, and tough as nails. Emily's constant inspiration and ear. Both love the Tennessee outdoors and are water slide enthusiasts.
Aaron Kunz
Groomsman
Coach turned role model turned great friend.
Laura Leigh Jones Robertson
Bridesmaid
Emily landed her dream job at the Grand Ole Opry and soon came a one of a kind friend to boot! Talented, driven, smart, funny and Emily's personal counselor (one of LL's many side gigs). Hours of phone convos go by in a blink of an eye and they balance each other out like no other. If there is one thing Emily has learned it's that she wasn't doing it wrong, they just weren't right. (Laura Leigh Jones will tell you 'He's Just Not Right' too - visit Spotify to find out for yourself.)
Jason LeMasters
Groomsman
Chase's trusted gambling sports and drinking adviser. Great friends since sophomore year of high school.
Nicole Sheridan
Bridesmaid
This SoCal girl and Emily met working at the incredible Gaylord Opryland! Sunday funday football at Sam's in Hillsboro Village, road trips to Memphis, Indy, & Denver to name a few, their favorite marathon craft sessions painting pottery, and the best new momma to Emily’s goddaughter Kennedy June. Nicole is the kind of friend who will support you through anything and be your biggest cheerleader. So grateful their paths crossed and they became besties and forever friends.
Will Roth
Groomsman
Can't throw a party or get married without a Roth by your side. Enough said.
Anne Lauritson
Flower Girl
Emily's "niece" - a girl after her own heart and little bestie. Fellow shoe lover, lip gloss wearing, dancing machine. Grateful for her fun-loving energy and sassy spirit!
Scotty Sheff
Groomsman
Brother from another mother. Political genius. Loyal friend. And trusted cabinet member.
Ayva Lou

Chase's niece and little bestie. Her energetic spirit and witty personality rivals that of Uncle Cha.
Adam Raycraft
Usher
Bike riding and bar hopping through Philly, exploring Wrigglyville in Chicago, random casino trips - these two travel well together.
Branson Adcock
Ring Bearer
Emily's "nephew" with the brightest smile and BEST laugh! Takes after his super cool Dad and eats lots of pizza and rocks out the video games. You'll find him in a pack of cousins on the dance floor!
Kalob Creighton

The newest member of the tribe. Served our country and we couldn't be more proud to have him serve on our big day.
Carson Dowd

Emily's "nephew" with the sweetest heart and best vocabulary! The ultimate big brother to Emily's goddaughter Olivia. You'll find him at the cake table!
