Wedding Party
Kenzie Smokstad
Maid of Honor
Emma’s best friend from high school. Emma got really close with her during cross country, but not physically (Kenzie was much faster).
Josh Karlson
Best Man
Eli’s best friend since high school. Loves The Beach Boys and The Simpsons. Drinks coffee right before bed but still sleeps like an angel.
Luis Revuelta
Groomsman
Eli’s best friend since middle school and roommate in Chicago during the pandemic. He’s using this wedding as a networking opportunity. If he could just get one minute of your time, he would like to go over your financials.
Madi Smiley
Bridesmaid
Emma’s best friend from high school. Had the best basement for sleepovers. Now is a big time lawyer in NYC. Fancy stuff!
Justin Hebda
Groomsman
Eli’s best friend from high school. Has long hair and doesn’t own a shirt that isn’t tie dye. Probably knows more about rock music than your dad.
Jodie Bledsoe
Bridesmaid
One of Emma’s oldest friends. Went with Emma to their first concert to see Hilary Duff—dressed head-to-toe in Limited Too.
Josh Tucker
Bridesman
Emma’s best friend from high school. Sassy yet classy—he’s the most popular person we know. And for good reason! He’s so charismatic he could talk to a loaf of bread. But if you catch him doing that, make him stop. He can’t have carbs.
Danny Lyons
Groomsman
Eli’s oldest friend. What's Danny's ideal night you ask? Feet up, by a fire, his wife Paige in the kitchen baking cookies, pluckin' his banjo to the tune of his 2 French Bulldogs breathing heavy.
Anna Taylor
Bridesmaid
Emma’s childhood best friend and neighbor across the street for many years. Still a horse girl to this day and drove a bigger truck than any of the boys in high school. Emma had a pool and Anna had a trampoline. Their friendship was a symbiotic relationship!
Sean Neumann
Groomsman
Eli’s best friend from high school. Is an actual rockstar, but he’s super humble about it.
Cate Hale
Bridesmaid
Emma’s best friend in Chicago. Earnestly owns multiple pairs of cowgirl boots, can recommend what rom-com to watch, snorts when she laughs but in a cool way.
Casey Moffit
Groomsman
Eli’s best friend from middle school. Can guess what plants are in your garden, but please don’t ask for his advice on keeping your grass green.
Maggie Cooper
Bridesmaid
Emma’s best friend in Chicago. Quite literally saves the turtles for a living. Runs marathons casually but doesn’t talk your ear off about it.
Lucas Tracy
Groomsman
Eli’s older brother. Covered in tattoos and listens to heavy metal music. Became a girl dad and now he's suddenly a big softie.
Carolyn Moore
Bridesmaid
Emma and Eli’s dear friend. You know when someone is too good at karaoke? That’s our Carolyn. Writer, actor, vegetarian…she’s a triple threat!
Clint Tracy
Groomsman
Eli’s oldest brother. Moved to Georgia and misses Portillo’s more than his family.
Kevin Kralj
Groomsman
Eli’s dear friend from high school. A warm, fuzzy teddy bear with a heart of gold. Beautiful baby blues and a well-kempt beard. Watch out Terre Haute milfs!
Andrew Cawley
Officiant
Emma and Eli’s dear friend. Just like a golden retriever, he’s cute, lovable, happy, and a little bit stinky.
