Wedding Party
Alexa Nikolai
Bridesmaid
Recipient of three degrees, and co-mother of Lilo Lewis-Dryden-Nikolai, Alexa is an expert on fitness trackers, books, and water supply in the desert. From Hanover to San Diego to Atlanta, she and Emily have shared countless nights of popcorn, mulled wine, and candy corn.
Aloukika Gorti
Bridesmaid
Renowned dancer and pigeon fanatic, Aloukika is Vishy's baby sister. When not listening to Migos or helping Hyper navigate her messy room, she enjoys binge-watching TV dramas and achieving her true potential as a Wall Street finance bro.
Andy Dryden
Groomsman
The source of the 2 cutest flower girls (and another little fella), Andy is Emily's older brother. When not furthering STEM education for children in Colorado or building new Lego models, he dreams of Lou's Cruller French Toast, probably.
Christian Williams
Groomsman
An expert on Oklahoma sports, tornadoes, and everything in between (?), Christian has had the pleasure of being friends, roommates, and kickball teammates with Emily and Vishy. He's a staunch opponent to hiking and yearns to find the best donuts in the country - give him your recs!
Divyam Satyarthi
Groomsman
A finalist in the 54th World Series of Poker tournament in Vegas, Divyam insists he "isn't" a gambler. Having known Vishy since elementary school, he remains passionate about playing video games during work hours, the Baltimore Ravens, and Terps for Change.
Eric McCarty
Groomsman
Hailing from Bowie, MD, Eric holds the exclusive title of inaugural Bunker Bros golf champion. An absolute menace in the Rocket League arena (and Draftkings best ball drafts), he now resides in Tacoma, WA, exploring all the PNW has to offer.
Erin Connolly
Bridesmaid
Two-time half-IronWOMAN and owner of Molly Three Dollar Margarita Brick City Connolly, Erin lived with Emily in Erin's hometown of Atlanta. Ask her about @atlhiker5, greenhouses, and Bachelor Fantake recaps.

Michael Fraunberger
Groomsman
A co-founder - along with Emily - of Margs with Mike™, Mike aspires to be a bagel and pizza shop owner (but not together). When not fixing his friends' bikes, or convincing them to buy more, you can find him haunting social media with his one-liner tweets and thorough burger reviews.
Sahith Mukku
Groomsman
A recent convert to the West Coast, Sahith met Vishy in college, where they spent more time on Fortnite than they did at class. When he's not doing rounds at the Mayo Clinic, he dedicates significant time and money on pristine hair care - ask him for tips!
Sara Dryden
Bridesmaid
Decreed "Emily's Best Buddy" by official certificate in 2002, Sara hopes to one day be the owner of a Home Depot 12-foot skeleton. Infamous for being "really big fans," Sara and Emily have traveled to Cooperstown and Toronto to see their idols, Todd Helton and Taylor Swift.
Shari Dryden
Bridesmaid
Host of Big Sandwich Day, Shari was Emily's first roommate. Lover of feather boas since a young age, she enjoys learning floral design and mastering campfire charcuterie while living with her cat, HotDog, in NYC.
Robert Nicol Jr.
Groomsman
A two-time D.O.N. Dynasty League runner-up, Robert was introduced to Vishy in college, where they hit it off with their mutual interest in engineering memes and excessively analyzing golf swings. When he's not visiting Atlanta and trying to catch Vishy for all of 10 minutes, he enjoys building exquisite furniture for his cat, Lazlo.
Robert Nikolai
Groomsman
Originally from the Greater Seattle area (ask him where), Robert has had the "pleasure" of going to school with Emily, at Dartmouth, and Vishy, at Georgia Tech. An advocate for tacos, bears, and ranked choice voting, he spends his free time exploring the world of urban planning and delicately crafting bits.
Tate Mitchell
Bridesmaid
After traversing all 272 miles of the Long Trail with Emily, Tate (trail name: Paw Prints), has fostered over 57 dogs. If she's not walking 4+ dogs in NYC, you might find her knitting on the shores of Lake Champlain.
