Wedding Party
Emily Blumenshine
Maid of Honor
"Jules and I grew up thick as thieves, just two sisters playing pretend and arguing at every turn. In our adult years, we've developed a newfound sense of sisterhood and closeness. I'm so grateful for the shared morning coffee yaps, weird voices, and belly laughs. When Jules brought Chris to meet the family for New Years, he fit right in. He shared in the card games, family meals, and inside jokes right away. We all immediately loved him, his sense of humor, and the way he cared for Jules. Watching them together, I see how they strike a perfect balance. It's obvious the love and care that they share with one another. Anyone who can handle my sister and her strength is a winner in my book. I'm proud to welcome a new brother into our family and excited to share continued memories with them both."

Best Man
"I had the honor of meeting Chris while we were stationed in Virginia together. Even though Chris and I never served at the same command, we grew a bond of brotherhood regardless, and I couldn’t be more proud to call him family. I had the amazing privilege of being introduced to Julia through one of the many video calls our friend group had over Instagram. While I had heard about her through Chris many times and said hello during those video chats, it wasn’t until months later that we got to meet in person. Her warm smile and loving embrace instantly made her family to me. I couldn’t be more honored to be a part of their lives and for them to be such a huge part of mine."
