Wedding Party
Megan Klemchuk
Maid of Honor

Ryan Lantz
Best Man

Alexa Martin
Bridesmaid
Alexa and Emily are going on 19 years of friendship! The relationship started as neighbors but turned into a lifelong friendship. Living so close to one another allowed us to practically live at each other's houses. Fun fact: We lived in the same neighborhood as each other two separate times! If you see her the wedding, conversation topics could include: French Bulldogs, the movie White Chicks, Trader Joes, and her childhood swimsuit era.
Eric Burke

Even though Stefan moved away, they still talk daily. If you see him at the wedding, conversation topics could include: golfing, hunting, how he rescued his dog, and the calculated probability of the Miami Hurricanes making the college football playoff.
Akira Koch
Bridesmaid
Akira and Emily were introduced to a mutual friend in high school. After one conversation they were quickly inseparable. After school Akira moved back to her hometown, Cincinnati. But, the two remain close and make sure to see each other at least once a year! If you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: travel, Arizona, espresso martinis, and how Akira and Emily convinced an entire school they were related.
Michael Iacolino
Groomsman
Michael is Emily's younger brother. When Stefan and Michael first met at a family event these two immediately hit it off, bonding off of their love of root beer. Michael even worked with Stefan for a short time before heading off on deployment. If you see him at the wedding, conversation topics could include: life in Japan, cars, anything fish related, and his extensive donut knowledge.
Haley Martin
Bridesmaid

If you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: University of Florida, New York Yankees, karate, and who likes strawberries more.
Bradley Knotts
Groomsman
Bradley and Stefan met during their freshman year of college. Their friendship was built off of over their love of basketball and cheap Chinese takeout. Bradley's relocation to Tampa has allowed these two to reconnect over their passion for entrepreneurship- and a good cigar. If you see him at the wedding, conversation topics could include: travel, anything outdoorsy, his dog Azu, and the importance of keeping your passport up to date.
