Wedding Party
Morgan Matott
Maid of Honor
Morgan isn't just your typical crazy little sister who's a staple in every sibling story; she's been Emory's partner in crime since day one, her ultimate ride-or-die, and hands down the best birthday gift Emory's ever scored in this lifetime. Emory is over the moon to have her sister by her side on this epic day of matrimonial mayhem. Let's give it up for Morgan, the MVP of maid of honors!
Katrina Stewart
Bridesmaid
The very first friend from Derick's crew who waltzed into Emory's world was none other than the fabulous Katrina! Not only is she the driving force behind Emory's questionable book-buying addiction, but she's also the best listener and the most caring. Let's be real, this day just wouldn't be the same without Katrina bringing her book-loving, heartwarming vibes to the party!
Codie Granger
Bridesmaid
Where do we even begin? Codie may have entered into Emory's world only a couple of years ago, but it feels like they've been sharing boots and banter for an entire lifetime. In that brief spell, Codie's become Emory's trusted wingwoman and partner-in-mischief, especially when it comes to raising a glass or two. Emory couldn't celebrate her wedding day without her cherished country bumpkin by her side!
Lyndsie Hall
Bridesmaid
Though vertically challenged, Lyndsie packs a punch with her feisty spirit and overflowing affection, making her a standout in Emory's life. Hall Pass was the stage for their fateful encounter, and since then, Lyndsie's become an indispensable part of Emory's journey. As this special day approaches, Emory simply can't imagine it without her. P.S. Don't forget to circle June 29th on your calendar—Emory's on a mission to witness the rare sight of Lyndsie getting a bit tipsy!
Megan Brotherton
Bridesmaid
Megan holds the title of one of Emory's oldest friends within this circle. Their paths crossed back in the days of the ole' Whistle Stop, and they have remained as Megan has been there ever since. With her vibrant personality and infectious energy, Megan always brings a splash of color and the best vibes to any occasion. Emory can't wait to share this special day with her beloved Meggy-Poo!
Michael Stewart
Best Man
Meet our Boston buddy, the dynamic duo with Derick since 2013! They crossed paths in the Vermont guard through a mutual friend and have been inseparable ever since.

Taylor Phillips
Groomsman

Kevin Martin
Groomsman
In the depths of the division headquarters at Fort Drum, Kevin and Derick found solace in their shared sense of fatalism and a distinct lack of Vitamin D. United by their indoor adventures, they became fast friends, navigating the fluorescent-lit corridors with a dose of humor. Now, as groomsmen, they bring their unique brand of camaraderie to light up any room... or at least the ones with windows!
Zac Carpenter
Groomsman
Left behind on the last deployment, Zac and Derick forged a bond over Jack Daniel's and the anomaly of having spouses who actually got along. Amidst shared bottles and shared laughs, their friendship solidified, proving that even in the most unexpected circumstances, true friendship can thrive. Now, as groomsmen, they raise a glass to enduring friendship and the resilience found in good company!
Patrick Wall
Groomsman
In the cramped quarters of a broom closet, Pat and Derick found common ground over discussions regarding the why files and Alex jones. Being stuck together day after day and bar visit after bar visit they forged a strong friendship . Now, as groomsmen, they bring their unique blend of curiosity and tism to the forefront, ready to tackle any mystery that comes their way!
Hannah Bentley
Mastery of Ceremony
Just over a year ago, a radiant soul entered Emory's world – A.K.A. Hanada. As Emory's top pick among Canadians, the party simply wouldn't be complete without her. Hannah's boundless love for both humanity (and chickens) illuminates every moment, and she's a steadfast presence through all of life's ups and downs. If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting her yet, mark your calendars for this special day – you won't want to miss out!
Benny Walseman
Officiant
For the dynamic officiant of the wedding: A massive shoutout to one of the day's MVPs – none other than the fabulous Benny! Emory and Derick overly grateful to this incredible soul.
