Wedding Party
Emily Howard
Maid of Honor
Emily and I met sitting next to one another in Mrs. Smiths class in the 1st Grade. I remember liking her because we had the same glasses on that day. From that day forward we have done everything together. From riding our scooters around the neighborhood as kids, to going to 10+ concerts together, having countless sleepovers, bonfires, hanging out with each others families, to now seeing her graduate from law school and her helping me pick out my wedding dress… we truly have done everything together. I am so grateful to have such a kind, thoughtful, selfless, hilarious, fun, and loving best friend. I hope everyone gets to experience having an Emily Howard in their lives. Some of my best memories have happened with her/because of her. There’s no one else I would rather have by side on such a special day.
Jacob Mosher
Best Man
Jacob and I met in our freshman year of college. We were roommates for 3 years and played together on the baseball team. We spent many nights up watching football and Star Wars… talking about our lives and now our wives. We shared our goals and just about everything together. I had the opportunity to be his best man in May, 2024 and can say I was truly happy for him. We also acted as dog parents to “Goose” and cut down trees together as coworkers.
Jessie May
Bridesmaid
Growing up Jessie and I fought like sisters. I thought I was better than her because I was her older sister(I was). As we’ve gotten older we still fight, but we have bonded and gotten a lot closer. My favorite memories together are going to Florida and riding around in Nanny and Grandpas golf cart together, going for night walks on the beach, vlogging every single thing we did on our home video camera, jumping on the trampoline & zip lining in our backyard. It has been an honor to watch her grow up and become the person she is today. I am grateful to have a sister like her, who I know I can always turn to for anything. I’m excited to continue to grow beside Jessie, and to watch our future families grow up together. I will always be better, funnier, and cooler than you. Love, your big sister.
Chance Cortez
Groomsman
Chance is my brother. We work together for the family tree business and spend our days joking around and yelling at each other. Who wouldn’t want the opportunity to spend every day with their brother. I have been proud to watch him grow and take leaps to improve his life. We weren’t as close growing up living in different households… but now we are truly brothers.
Erika McDaniel
Bridesmaid
I loved Erika from the moment I met her in Girl Scouts. She was my middle school band buddy. She was fun, very sweet, absolutely hilarious, and shy just like me. From forging our parents signatures so we could take the bus home to each others houses after school and then getting in trouble for it, our band trip to New York & The Bahamas where we got to experience new cities together, so many marching band and Friday night football game memories, the day I decided I was no longer a 1D fan anymore RIP, going to just about every school dance together, to coming to visit her in Rolla, & her coming to cheer me on at my Winter Guard competitions. Regardless of what we have going on we always seem to have the best laughs and the best memories together. I will cherish our friendship forever, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
Luke Harris
Groomsman
Luke and I met freshman year of high school when I had to drive to another town “and state” to play baseball. We quickly became friends and have stayed close ever since. We have implemented mandatory 2-week phone calls to stay in touch. I have to say he was the happiest of all the groomsman when I asked him. He’s always upbeat and is a genuinely good person and a lifelong friend.
Katherine Howard
Bridesmaid
For months Emily talked about her older sister Katherine. We bonded over how annoying our sisters were. In second grade, I finally got the chance to meet Katherine… her and I bonded from the start. She is one of the funniest people I have ever met, she’ll always be 100% honest with you, she cares deeply about the people she loves and would do anything for them, there is never a dull moment with her, and she is all around an amazing person. I never imagined Emily’s older sister would be anything other than “Emily’s older sister”, until I met her. I am so grateful to have her in my life and today I can say that although she is Emily’s sister… She has been like a sister to me and forever will be one of my best friends.
Jacob Young
Groomsman
Jacob and I met pretty recently (2024) when he started working for our family tree company. We have since grown close as he looked to me for advice and as a mentor during work hours. I’m proud of him and how much he has grown. He’s an extremely hardworking and determined man with a beautiful family. I aspire to love my children as much as he does his.
Mackenzie Goode
Bridesmaid
In high school, Mackenzie and I dressed up as Dwight and Michael from The Office and took pictures recreating scenes from The Office. That’s how deep our Office obsession runs, but I would also say our friendships runs that deeps as well. Mackenzie and I had the best time working together at an Italian restaurant. She has been an honorary May Family Member and has attended 5 May Family Reunions (more than Isaac). Sadly she lives in New York now and is no longer able to attend. She has been like a sister to me. She’s someone I can turn to for advice, a laugh, a cry. Anything. She is hilarious, selfless, sweet, beautiful, and fun. We have had countless sleepovers that consisted of making cringy Video Stars together in middle school, munching on Steve’s popcorn in the basement, Mario karting for an endless number of hours and laughing about just about everything.
Riley Miller
Groomsman
Riley is family, we’re cousins first and brothers second. He’s a hardworking and aspiring young man who I’ll always remember as my little cousin who went everywhere I went and did everything I did. We spent endless hours exploring the woods, building forts and making our moms worry about what we were up to.
Issie Mosher
Bridesmaid
Since the day Isaac and Jacob started rooming together freshman year in the dorms at UMSL, I had hoped that he would hurry up and get a girlfriend so I would have a friend to hangout with. I never would have guessed Issie and I would be as close as we are today. From being dog moms together and taking our dogs to the park, going to baseball games to cheer on our now husbands together, trying on prom dresses for fun(we were in college), lots of bonfires, and double dates. She has surrounded me with love, joy, and genuineness, and she is the best dancer. I am so grateful that Isaac and Jacob chose each other as roommates because it brought me my friendship with Issie. I am so happy that she and Jacob found each other, and I am even happier that I can call her such a good friend.
Caden Miller
Groomsman
“Caden baby” is what we used to call him… and I can remember very fondly when he was. He always wanted to do whatever his brother Riley and I were doing… and always got hurt trying. But he is another tough young man and is smart as a whip. He’s a passionate storyteller and I believe he will be a great mentor to Jacob M, Thomas and I when we finally get enough preference points to go elk hunting. He’s family and another cousin turned brother.
Sarah Euson
Bridesmaid
I remember being so excited when I had heard that Isaac had an older sister, I hoped she would be cool so that we could be friends. My first memory of her is when I came over to their house for dinner in the fall of 2020. It was my first ever dinner with her family. We were having Cajun Chicken pasta. I was SO nervous. I think I maybe said 10 words the entire dinner. She gave me the biggest hug, & she was funny. I think I knew I wanted to be friends with her right away. She has surrounded me with nothing but love, joy, and laughter. She is one of the most sweet and genuine people I have ever met. I aspire to be more like her everyday. And I’m so grateful that Isaac grew up with a big sister like Sarah. She has been so much more than Isaacs sister… she has been like a sister to me.
Thomas Euson
Groomsman
Thomas married my sister, so now he’s my brother too and I had to invite him out of pity. Just kidding, he is an extremely lighthearted and hardworking man. He’s always joking and always wearing a smile when I see him. He also hides the fact he’s a stubborn as hell stone cold-k*ller and a great match for my sister. I’m excited to see them raise their first child and I’ll know I can always look to him for parenting advice someday.
