Wedding Party
Emily Morris
Bride
Emily is the most kind person you will ever meet! I am so excited to be able to marry you! You are always there for me when I need you most. You are the only person that I want to go through life with. I love you forever and always! - Andrew
Andrew Quakenbush
Groom
Andrew is genuinely one of a kind - I have never met anyone that even compares to him! When we met and started dating in high school (which, at the time of the wedding, will be 7 whole years ago!!), being where we are now felt like a dream and a million years away. I could not be more proud of the partner that Andrew is and the home and family we have built. He truly is my person and my rock. I never thought I could love someone the way I love him, and I could not feel more lucky to be the one to navigate life with him! I love you forever and a day, Andrew! - Emily
Elizabeth Morris
Maid of Honor
Elizabeth is my sister and co-Maid of Honor! Elizabeth and I have been built-in best friends forever (well... mostly since she was able to drive me around!). I'm so thankful I've had Elizabeth as my older sister to serve as a role model and friend to me for all these years - she is my number 1 fan and is always on my team. I cannot imagine who I would be without her, and am beyond thankful to have her as my sister.
Zarek Metz
Best Man
Zarek is my best friend since high school and my best man. Our friendship has only grown since marching band freshman year. Being your neighbor was the most fun year of my life. Zarek, you have helped out so much to the wedding, helping capture the moment I got engaged to Emily.
Kaity Catalfina
Co-Maid of Honor
Kaity and I have been friends for over a decade. Kaity and I have maintained and strengthened our friendship even while living in different cities for the past 5 years! Kaity is someone who sees, knows and loves me, even through the hardest times. Having her as my co-maid of honor is such a blessing, and is something that middle school us would be overjoyed about. She is truly so supportive of me and is genuinely my biggest cheerleader. Talk about two peas in a pod!
Daniel Fawcett
Groomsman
Dan has been my friend since sophomore year of college. He is the funniest guy I know. I can always count on Dan to play countless hours of Playstation with me. Having him has a groomsman only feels right.
Amanda Cinadr
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I have been besties since middle school. I am forever grateful for Spanish class leading to a decade+ long friendship (and forever grateful to Amanda for helping me pass Spanish class). Amanda is also a part of the ✨golden trio✨. 12-year-old us would be weeping over the fact that we get to celebrate this milestone together!
Avery McGrail
Groomswoman
Avery was a late addition to the party, but a worth while one. As my oldest cousin, she has known me the longest out of any one of my groomsmen. She is like a sister to me, especially in recent years. I will never forget all of the great moments we had in college, walking past each other and waving to then go on with our day.
Courtney Bockbrader
Bridesmaid
Courtney and I have been besties since middle school. Courtney is a part of the ✨golden trio✨. Courtney and I have strengthened an already tight bond by going through wedding planning together (congratulations to Courtney and Cameron!) 12-year-old us would NOT believe that we are engaged at the same time and would be so proud of our friendship!
Brynn McGrail
Groomswoman
Brynn was a late addition to my groomsmen. She is the most adventurous person I know, always hiking or trying to save the environment. She is like a sister to me in recent years and will always bake the best cakes. I am excited to have her with me up there when I get married!
Makenna Metz
Bridesmaid / Wedding Planner
Makenna and I met because our partners have been in the same friend group since high school. Our friendship was jumpstarted on a vacation and has continued to grow over the past 2.5 years. Makenna truly stepped up for us throughout wedding planning and was always there for support and guidance. Makenna has also been acting as our wedding planner and has genuinely contributed so much toward our wedding, and we could not be more appreciative of all of the things she has done for us!!
Colin McGrail
Groomsman
Colin is my cousin and a great friend of mine. When he isn’t making huge advances in fashion, he is becoming the best DJ in the world, or maybe Cincinnati. We used to play Xbox nonstop when we were kids and our friendship has never been stronger. I am happy to have him up with me.
Ella Thornton
Bridesmaid
Ella and I spoke for the first time over Instagram DM's when I started to date Andrew. Ella and I have been able to visit both in Ohio and in Florida. I am so excited to be able to call Ella my sister-in-law and and have Ella stand up with us for our wedding!
Jake Thornton
Groomsman
Jake is my brother.
Greg Morris
Father of the Bride
My dad will not hesitate to drop what he is doing to help me anytime I ask, and is always willing to step up for me. He has helped me move to multiple cities and always takes good care of my precious kitties when I visit home. I could not be more grateful for him and love him so much!
Bryan Ream
Groomsman
Bryan has been a great friend since high school. Your talent for music will always amaze me, especially your peak in high school with Threat Level Midnight. You are a great friend who even after months of not seeing you, we can talk like we didn’t even miss a beat. I am happy you are up there with me.
Jill Morris
Mother of the Bride
My mom is one of my best friends and one of my favorite people in the world. She has been there for me through every up, down and sideways, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done and continues to do for me. I really am her mini-me and I wouldn't be who I am without her. I love her more than she even knows!!
Craig Thornton
Father of the Groom
He is my dad. He’s cool I guess.
Bill Webber
Officiant
Bill has been in my life since I was a child, he is a family friend who has been there for me anytime I have ever needed him, or just wanted to see the newest marvel movie. He has been there for every big moment in my life, and I’m excited for him to officiate the marriage of me and Emily.
Amy Thornton
Step-Mother of the Groom
Amy is my step mom who has always been great to me. She has always treated me like one of her own when I have come to visit. I am excited to have her at my wedding.
