Emily & Seth
Wedding Party
Emily and Seth
Bride & Groom
We are so excited to celebrate our wedding surrounded by our closest friends and family! July 6, 2019 can't get here fast enough.
Elizabeth Barnard
Maid of Honor
We met first year of law school and started a great tradition of girls-night-in with take-out and Netflix. From 1L year of law school to law school graduation to Seth proposing, Libby has been there for some of the most important moments of my life and I can't wait to share our wedding day with her at my side.
Marigona Morina
Bridesmaid
Marigona and I knew of each other through a mutual friend for years before we ever met. Our first time meeting face-to-face was August 2015 at the University of Arkansas, during my first semester of law school and her third semester of a Masters in ESL. Marigona now lives and works in Prishtina, Kosova, but we still have Skype dates and I can't wait to welcome her back to her Alma Mater for our wedding.
Madison Lyonhart
Bridesmaid
We first met (in-person) this past summer in London. Madison and I quickly hit it off, sharing the joys and frustrations of being committed to a philosophic academic. I'm so very excited to welcome her as a sister and cannot wait for many future adventures.
Zoey Hart
Bridesmaid
Zoey and I met on Valentine's Day 2018 at a family dinner. We've bonded over teasing Seth and exchanging stories about his antics. Her sweetness, sense of humor, and love for her big brother have touched my heart and I can't wait to call her sister.
Eli Welch
Best Man
Eli and I met at the mature age of 10 and, after discovering our mutual love of dinosaurs, quickly became friends. Seventeen years later, living in 3 different states and 3 countries, we've kept up our friendship through thick and thin, thanks in large part to Halo, Gears of War, and all forms of modern communicative technology. Last year, I served as his best man. I suppose it's time to return the favor
Tyler Mitchell
(Secret) Best Man
Tyler and I have been best friends for longer than either he or I can remember. We do know that it has been, at a minimum, 22 years of solid friendship between us. Whether it's playing with my stuff animals at the age of 5, dance rehearsals at his mom's former studio, making fun of animal videos in Mrs. Kemna's biology class, or faking Russian accents during choir competitions, we've been through it all. In 2014, I was honored with serving as his secret best man. I guess this means we're even.
Jonathan Lyonhart
Best Canadian
Jonathan and I met my first year of undergrad at Ozark. Little knowing that I was merely a pawn in his game to eventually marry my sister, we quickly became best buds. There are few other people in my life who have helped shape, build, and encourage me the way he has for so many years. After a decade of friendship and now brotherhood, he's been the one guy I turn to for both spiritual and academic wisdom. Seven years ago, I was privileged with being the "best boy" at his and my sister's wedding. So I suppose "Best Canadian" might be a good, honorific title for him. The competition for it was tough, though...
Levi Helmick
Best of Everything Else
Levi is one smart cookie and one heck of a future bro-in-law. Levi and I met early in Emily and I's relationship and immediately hit it off. He has always made me feel welcomed into the Helmick family, and I'm super proud to call him both a brother and a friend. Moreover, I'm super happy to have him next to me when I officially join his family.
