Wedding Party
Emily Warner
Bride
Emily was raised by her loving single mother in the beautiful city of Honolulu, Hawaii. Her early years were filled with the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of the island, which deeply influenced her love for the ocean and outdoor adventures. In 2015, a significant change occurred in her life when she and her mother moved to the town of Muncie, Indiana. This transition brought new dynamics into her life as she welcomed a stepfather into her family. With him came three step-siblings, who quickly became an integral part of her life, and later, two half-siblings, enriching her family experiences even further. In Muncie, Emily attended high school and focused on her studies with determination. She joined various clubs, making new friends and adapting to her new environment. Her hard work paid off when she graduated in 2020. She was thrilled to be accepted into the Dental Assistant program at Ivy Tech, a significant step toward her goal of becoming a dental hygienist, a profession she is passionate about and sees as a way to help others while pursuing her interests in health and science. She eagerly anticipates starting the program in August. The prospect of learning new skills and eventually working in a field that combines her interests in science and helping others fills her with enthusiasm.
