Zanny Arey

Bridesmaid

Macy and Zanny met in the awkward stages of middle school. Many marching band shows, dance recitals, and dinners at Japanese steakhouses later, and they have still remained a big part in each other's lives. After 12 years of friendship, Macy stood by Zanny's side during her wedding last year and, this year, Zanny is returning the favor to stand by Macy's side.

Macy and Emily attended high school school together, but it wasn't until a Gen Ed Geography class at JMU their freshman year that they became friends. From then on, they were inseparable at JMU and even graduated next to each other with similar majors.

Ellie Sennett

Emily was born August 1st of last year, but we hope she'll be walking down the aisle come next September!
