Wedding Party
Katie Hartzler
Matron of Honor
Katie and Emma met one day in middle school where Emma decided that she was going to make Katie be her friend, and the rest is history. From raving about books and musicals to going to meet John Green, these 2 have been friends for 12+ years. Katie and Emma's friendship is as strong as it was when they were awkward 12 year old's and continues to grow. Emma is so grateful for Katie's light that she brings into the world and is so excited to have her by her side on this special day!
Catie Schraymeyer
Matron of Honor
Catie and Emma have been friends since Junior year of high school where they bonded through IB classes and became besties. The two have gotten to attend their first Taylor Swift concert together and continue to fangirl together. Although the two have joked about how their friendship wasn't "love at first sight," (they have known each other since 5th grade) the friendship grew at the right time and has stayed strong since. Emma is so grateful for Catie's caring nature and amazing humor. Emma is so excited to have Catie by her side as she says "I do."
Tess Born
Bridesmaid
Emma and Tess met when Emma interviewed for an RA position on campus and Tess interviewed her! They saw each other around church after that but it wasn't until they were both in the same wedding that their friendship blossomed. They continued to get to know each other and eventually the both ended up moving to Mishawaka where their friendship has blossomed! Tess is a ray of sun and a steadfast friend!
Katie Drudge
Bridesmaid
Katie and Emma met when they both started to teach kindergarten and then bonded throughout the year. They have laughed, cried, and laughed until they've cried together. Emma is grateful that she has gotten to know Katie so well and can continue to talk about teaching and all the life things with her.
Emma Modock
Bridesmaid
Emma M. and Emma R. met when they both started school at Central Michigan University in the Special Education major. After having many classes together, the Emma's realized that they both had a BIG interest in Taylor Swift and her music. It wasn't until the Evermore release when Emma R. had texted Emma M. at midnight to fangirl that they realized that they were destined to be friends. Some of their favorite memories include late nights listening to Taylor Swift, chatting about life, and ultimately attending the Eras Tour together.
Finn Thorp
Bridesmaid
Finn and Emma were roommates in college and the rest is history. Who knew that 2 strangers that were not that excited to live together would end up becoming best friends? Through listening to music, playing Mario Party Superstars, fangirling over The Witcher (iykyk), cooking, and going off on 30 tangents in 10 minutes, Emma and Finn have grown together and become great friends.
Erin Brown
Bridesmaid
Emma met Erin approximately 2 weeks after Josh and Emma had made their relationship official. It was a whirlwind of meeting Josh's family but immediately Emma knew that she liked Erin. Erin has been a great friend (and now sister!!) to Emma through listening to music, going on vacations, lake weekends, and always being willing to talk and hang out. Emma is incredibly grateful that she finally has a sister and that she gets one that is as amazing as Erin!
Madeline Hodson
Bridesmaid
Madeline and Emma met when they both signed up to go on a mission trip to Texas together. Little did they know that that week would cement a lifetime of friendship. Through their time at CMU, Madeline and Emma spent many days and nights drinking coffee together while crying/laughing and sharing the incredible vibe of each other's company. Though they live hours apart, they still consistently talk and have even tried to plan to run a half or full marathon together quite a few times (Stay tuned to see if this happens)!
Tinelle McKay
Bridesmaid
Emma and Tinelle are cousins and have had a close relationship for their whole lives. Whether it was playing at the beach when they were younger or chatting over a drink at common spirits, Emma and Tinelle have always enjoyed having a friend in each other!
