Their connection is proof that some friendships are built to last - no matter what team you root for.
Bennett Green
Maid of Honor
Emma and Bennett’s story began 15 years ago, when a shy girl walked into a dance studio and met a boisterous gal who would become her lifelong friend. From high school rehearsals to living room dance parties, their bond grew through every stage of life. They’ve weathered long-distance phone calls during college, shared countless Blackout Wednesdays back home, and stood by each other through life’s hardest and happiest moments—including when Bennett was by Emma’s side after her father passed. What started as a childhood friendship has only deepened with time, and now, after years of dreaming about this moment, Emma and Bennett are overjoyed to enter this next chapter.
Robert Konnick
Groomsman
From the start, Robert, Emma’s younger brother, and Brian hit it off like old friends. Bonding over sports, humor, and quick banter, it was clear they were kindred souls. Over time, their friendship has only grown stronger, filled with laughs, debates, and a lot of inside jokes. As Brian joins the family, he’s not just gaining a brother-in-law, he’s gaining a true friend for life.
Megan Miller
Bridesmaid
Megan, Brian’s younger sister, and Emma connected instantly. The same age with a shared love for dinner parties and city life, they quickly became close friends. From swapping recipes to laughing over wine at Friendsgiving, their bond has grown into something special. Now, as soon-to-be sisters-in-law, they’re thrilled to officially call each other family.
Arnold Donado
Groomsman
Arnold and Brian have been friends for over 30 years! They started off being the tallest kids in first grade and moved their way up to captains of their high school football team. They still remain close friends and can be seen city biking through central park and eating hot dogs outside Gray's Papaya. ARNOLD, ARNOLD!
Morgan Jacobs
Bridesmaid
Morgan is Emma's youngest cousin. They grew up going to their grandparent's beach house every summer in Ocean City and begging their parents to take them to Candy Kitchen. Emma was a part of Morgan's special day in 2024 and is thrilled to have her by her side when she walks down the aisle.
Wilson Sarmiento

Wilson and Brian met in high school. They were known to pile into Wilson's van during fifth period to get a snack and arrive late to sixth period Spanish. The two continued to grow their friendship bar hopping in college and can be found on the handball courts today.
Lydia Patselas
Bridesmaid
Lydia was Emma's first friend in college. They spent four years together in East Carolina University's dance program. From living off campus together, late night dance rehearsals, studying in the library and many bar outings to visiting each other in their city's post college. No matter the time or distance between them, their friendship will always remain strong.
Zack Pumerantz
Groomsman
Zack and Brian met when Zack moved to Port Washington in High School. He was the catcher for the best game I ever pitched, and we've been close ever since. Whether it was on the field or off, Zack's been a loyal teammate and an even better friend. I’m honored to have him standing beside me on this big day.
Elizabeth Cousar

Liz and Emma met in college while dancing together in East Carolina University's program. The were both cast in their very first college piece together and the friendship didn't stop there. Four years of college, moving to the big city together, many friendsgiving's and vet encounters later, the two remain strong friends and will look back on many fond memories of this city.
Paul Kearon
Groomsman
Brian met Paul in college, and they became fast friends—bonded by softball games, legendary house parties at the Kearon’s, questionable camping trips, and perfecting the art of sleeping on the job while working for Paul’s dad. Their friendship has survived hangovers, bar disasters, and a complete lack of productivity. It only made sense to include Paul in the wedding - because who else would bail Brian out?
Caley Crawford
Bridesmaid
Caley and Emma met only three years ago. Although the duration has been short, they quickly bonded and have been inseparable ever since. They share a love of Labradors, late night Taco Bell, working out, choreographing TikTok's and crying at the bar over their friendship. If you are ever looking for them after happy hour, you can certainly find them at karaoke.
Anthony Peranzo
Groomsman
Anthony and Brian met in college through mutual friends, and they've been causing trouble ever since. From late nights dancing at the bar to partying around town, he's always been the life of the party. When they're not out and about, they're probably gaming into the early hours. He’s one of the most loyal and fun people Brian knows, and lucky to have him in his corner.
Stephanie Damiani
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Emma met only three years ago through their mutual friend Caley. Her and Emma met at a last minute concert invite and quickly realized their vibes together were unmatched. The three quickly became a menace to the city living out their best life. Stephanie has introduced Emma to many concerts and continues to expand her music palette. If you ever need makeup advice, Stephanie is your gal!
