Emily & William
Wedding Party
Hannah Holcomb
Matron of Honor
Emily met Hannah her first year of college through her brother, Jonathan. Jonathan and Hannah had just begun dating, and they would host Emily for weekly dinners at Hannah's apartment. The three of them shared many laughs through those dinners, walking the dogs, and eventually Hannah started going on vacation with the Holcomb family. After three years of dating Jonathan was going to propose to Hannah on a vacation. Hannah came to Emily angry asking if Jonathan was ever going to propose to her. Emily had assisted her brother in picking out the ring, but not to ruin the surprise Emily instigated the situation further, and told Hannah she needed to confront Jonathan! Emily truly thinks of Hannah as the sister she never had.
Matthew Moore
Best Man
Matt and Will have been best of friends for many years. From middle school soccer, high school afternoons shooting hoops, and late nights in Neyland, to summer days at the lake on the boat, rooming together through college, countless hours playing FIFA, and devouring hot wings - the two of them have done just about everything. They share a lot of memories growing up and its only right that Matt be Will's best man.
Kathryn Anderson
Bridesmaid
Will's little sister, Kathryn, was actually a member of the same sorority as Emily! Kathryn joined a few years after Emily, around the same time Will and Emily began dating. Emily was always too nervous to talk to Kathryn in the sorority, but then when they finally talked at an Anderson family function they hit it off! Now Emily loves goofing off with Kathryn at every family event; she is very thankful to have Kathryn as a future sister-in-law!
Jonathan Holcomb
Groomsman
Emily's brother Jonathan happened to be a member of the same fraternity as Will in college. Will actually knew Jonathan before he met Emily. As the story goes, Emily and Will met because she stopped to look at Will's dog Boomer, who shares incredible resemblance to Jonathan's dog, Harry.
Mallory Cooper
Bridesmaid
Mallory and Emily became friends through how all good friendships and relationships start...a direct message on Twitter! Mallory messaged Emily in high school addressing a similar situation they were going through, then they realized they had SO much in common. They had many slumber parties, sonic runs, and tried to find things to do in the small town of Ringgold, GA. When Mallory and Emily were sixteen they promised eachother they would be bridesmaids in eachothers weddings one day, and here we are!

Bret, Will's older cousin, has always been a partner in crime. Growing up, the two were constantly needing correction from their grandparents and they were known as the fastest scooter drivers East of the Mississippi. Bret shares Will's passion for the Christmas Season, and you can find them each December quoting National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation without error.
Genna Parker
Bridesmaid
Emily met Genna through her older sister, Grayson. Grayson and Emily were in a dance class together when they both 4 years old. Shortly after, Genna would become interested in dance. Genna and Emily spent all of their days together in high school. (Literally...school, then dance practice, and then dance competitions on the weekends)! The friendship they developed through dance continues to make them the best of friends.
Anderson Guse
Groomsman
Anderson has long been a friend of Will's through church. Anderson and Will were known as the "Blues Brothers" among the congregation for their suit-wearing. Originally from Brazil, Anderson's command of the Portuguese language came in handy to Will when he decided to take a Portuguese class in college. An avid gun enthusiast and automobile aficionado, Anderson and Will best bond at the firing range or admiring cars well beyond their financial reach.

Ryann is always ready to pack up and make new memories. She is such a great friend!
Christian Mauldin
Groomsman
Christian and Will went to kindergarten together and later revived their friendship in middle school. From Will's 16th birthday where they faked Matt's death, CiCi's pizza nights, and Saturday backyard football games, to kayaking 3 miles to "the rock", trying new cigars, and later rooming together for 3 years, Christian has been a part of Will's life for every milestone.
Sienna Cartier
Bridesmaid
Sienna is Emily's grand little in Kappa Delta! Emily was very nervous to add to her sorority family during recruitment season in 2017, but then Emily met Sienna and the rest was history. They immediately had a special bond, and knew they were going to be lifelong friends. While at Kennesaw State University, Emily and Sienna became each others go-to's for tailgates, cracker barrel dates, carpooling to and from sorority chapter, and everything in between! Emily adores Sienna's jovial spirit and personality!
Kaleb McBrayer
Groomsman
Kaleb and Will have been friends since high school, but became better friends in college. Kaleb lived in the same building as Will at KSU his freshman year, and then they moved in together with Matt and Thomas the following year. Kaleb always provides comic relief to the group and you can count on him to play golf any time of the year.
Ryann Miller
Bridesmaid
Ryann is Emily's big sister in her sorority, Kappa Delta. A big sister in Kaydee is supposed to be someone who you look up to, and helps you navigate through your college years. Ryann became so much more to Emily and will forever be a person she looks up to! As the years go on, Emily still continues to turn to Ryann for Christ centered discussions and big life decisions. Ryann is truly an angel!
Thomas Lewis
Groomsman
Thomas and Will became friends by chance through random roommate assignments freshmen year of college. Will learned of his new roommates and sent them all a message on twitter introducing himself. Thomas responded and the rest is history. 4 years of rooming together brought them many memories, most notably the nights spent sharing beers on their balcony discussing anything their minds could conceive. A great friend and an even better roommate.
