Wedding Party
Meghan Darcy
Maid of Honor
Hi! I’m Meghan, Emma’s sister and maid of honor! A little about me... I’m an artist, and my favorite sport is competitive swimming. I’m adventurous and probably trying to make someone laugh right now! Emma and Tyler, my wish for you is that you’ll seize every day for what it can be. Make memories, grow and change, do life together! I can’t wait to see it.
Randall Warners
Best Man
Hi, my name is Randall. Tyler and I have been roommates for about five years, so we know each other pretty well! My favorite game is chess, but I enjoy playing all sorts of games and playing video games with Tyler. My advice for Tyler and Emma is that it's impossible to get Chick-fil-A too frequently!
Hannah Ham
Matron of Honor
Hi guys! My name is Hannah Ham, and I am Emma’s cousin, favorite cousin at that. I am also Emma’s matron of honor. She can be the first to tell you that I absolutely love running;) Besides that, I enjoy being by the pool, spending time with my friends and family, and trying unique coffee and ice cream shops. I’ve been married for two years now, and I think the best advice I can give to Tyler is if you plan to take Emma to a steak restaurant, make sure you have A LOT of time. In all seriousness, enjoy the little moments, make sure you can laugh when things get hard, and always keep the Lord at the center of your relationship.
Adrian Villacorta
Groomsman
I’m Adrian, & I think Tyler is just the best. I met him my freshman year of college & got closer over the years. I knew he was special by the way he could instantly connect with people. He’s thoughtful, a great listener, & the most compassionate person I know. Tyler & I both like similar TV shows & days where I’d ditch class to watch Mr. Robot with Tyler are some of my best college memories. One time we even spent an entire Saturday watching the LOTR collection extended edition with friends. Of all the passions Tyler has, Emma stands out as truly special in his life. I’ve seen the way their relationship blossomed firsthand & I’m so happy to see how far they have come. My only wish for you guys is to continuously find joy & laughter, to always edify each other, & to keep the laughs going.
Natalia Castro-Schneider
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Natalia, Tyler’s big sister. I’ve always loved trying unordinary things; whether it be a new food, a new hair color or a new city to call home. Growing up, Tyler & I had individual personalities which brought out the typical brother/sister conflicts (I’m pretty sure I was right most of the time). Distance brought us closer together & he’s an important part of my adult life. I’m thankful for how he supports me & hope to do the same for him. My advice for Tyler & Emma: Family is important. As you commit to one another, you’re creating a little family of your own, starting with just the two of you. While it’s good to consider the advice of others, it’s important to develop your own beliefs/values & make the final decision as a married couple. But always remember, big sis knows best!
Nicholas Darcy
Groomsman
Hello, I’m Nick Darcy, and I am Emma’s brother; soon to be Tyler’s as well. My favorite board game is chess, and I love to play disc golf. I’d really just like to let the “soon-to-be-weds” know that their family will always be here for them, and they only need to ask.
Abbie Wilson
Bridesmaid
I have been Emma’s roommate for a couple years, at Trinity Christian College and post-graduation. I love playing Settlers of Catan, making art and teaching my new puppy tricks. My advice to Emma and Tyler is to be genuine and honest, otherwise you’ll be pretending your whole life.
Benjamin Andringa
Groomsman
One thing about me is that I am not good at writing bios, but here goes nothing. I met Tyler and Emma as a student at Trinity. After years of hanging out in his room with his roommates, Tyler and I decided to room together a year after college, along with Randall and Ciri the rabbit. I enjoy binge watching tv shows like The Office and How I Met your Mother, along with playing disc golf and video games. I also enjoy watching Wisconsin sports at a die-hard level. My best advice at this time for Emma and Tyler is to find your passions and let them take you to wherever they lead.
Annie Vandekamp
Bridesmaid
Emma and I met in college through Tyler when we both needed a roommate for the upcoming year...not only did I find a roommate but also a lifelong friend! My hobbies include thrifting and redecorating our fixer upper home. As Emma and Tyler get married, a piece of advice I would like to give them is that despite how the saying goes, sometimes it’s okay to go to bed angry at each other. Often we are able to think clearer in the morning. Just always say “I love you” before bed and remember some days are just harder than others.
Evan Burns
Groomsman
Hi! My name is Evan. Tyler is my (coolest) cousin. My favorite hobby is traveling—specifically the kind that doesn’t involve much planning. Last year I was in Chicago for work, met up with Tyler to grab lunch and then proceeded to spring a trip to New York City on him...that would begin the next morning. He was down, bought his ticket that same day and we were exploring NYC at 9am the following day! Oh, and I also like tennis & music a lot. My one piece of advice for Tyler & Emma is moreso a reminder that as partners, it doesn’t have to be a 50/50 balance of helping and supporting one another. Sometimes, it’ll be 80/20, and that’s ok. Lean into each other when you need it, and remember that you’re working together on the same team.
Natalie Bennington
Bridesmaid
I’m Natalie Bennington, I am a hair stylist & nanny to five kiddos. Emma and I grew up together, and I am so lucky to still call her a best friend! My favorite hobby is taking a nightly walk with my husband and dog. I’m so excited for Emma & Tyler, and my wish for them is that they will be best friends throughout their marriage!
Daniel Balint
Groomsman
Hello, I’m Daniel Balint, and I have known Tyler since high school. He was also a groomsman in my wedding! I remember I would give him the business in our biology class whenever he would flip his Bieber hair around. My favorite sport would have to be football, and I love fitness, a good video game, and other nerdy computer things. My best piece of advice for Tyler and Emma would be treat each other with respect and go on as many adventures as you can!!
Benjamin Darcy
Junior Groomsman
I am Ben Darcy, and I am the bride’s brother. I like to play board games, video games, and hang out with my friends. One piece of advice I’d like to give Emma and Tyler is to be sure to maintain a positive and optimistic outlook on life. I wish the bride and groom the best, and can’t wait for their wedding.
Jake Darcy
Junior Groomsman
Hi I’m Jake, Emma’s third brother. I enjoy going to the beach & playing in the waves with Emma. I have gotten to know Tyler over the past four years & really enjoy spending time playing board games with him. While Emma & Tyler have finished their time in school (well, kind of), I am just starting as a freshman at Morton High School. I am part of the MHS Marching Band & will be in the concert band this winter. As Emma & Tyler start their lives together, I recommend to Tyler that he get a step counter. You will get quite a workout getting Emma everything from a glass of water to her laptop. For Emma, always pack extra. Over the years Tyler has left a collection of shirts, pants & shoes at our house. I am so excited to be part of your special day & to have yet another brother in the family.
Tate Darcy
Junior Groomsman
My name is Tate Darcy. My relation to the bride is she is my oldest sister. My favorite sport is basketball. I also play baseball and tennis. One piece of advice I would give Emma and Tyler as they start a married life together is to support each other with the choices they make.
Kaden Darcy
Junior Groomsman
My name is Kaden! I’m Emma‘s little brother. I like to play games with friends, especially soccer and Roblox. I want to make movies when I grow up, and I’m always joking around. I hope Emma and Tyler are always happy and having fun!
Margot Arvin

Hi, my name is Bill! I am a cousin of the bride. I love playing ball, racing my toy cars, and splashing in the bath! I am excited to go down the aisle with my big cousin Margot and for all the wedding music!
