Groom
Born in Virginia, Leo loves food, shopping, video games, and movies. He is a huge fan of Lord of the Rings and Fast and Furious ("I don't have friends, I got FAMILY"). Growing up and to this day Leo has loved football and skateboarding; he is a horror fanatic and (thanks to his patient fiance) is learning to enjoy hiking more.
Bride
Born a Florida gal, Emily absorbed the adventuresome spirit inherited from her British father and has an ever longing for the outdoors. Be it hiking in the mountains or swimming in the seas, she never let her thirst for sweating in the sun or trudging through the pouring rain stop her mission to see the sights. Emily became a fan of Lord of the Rings as a child, when her father showed the family all the movies. Her favorite movie is the Two Towers, but her favorite book is Return of the King. Samwise Gamgee is her favorite character. His commitment and perseverance to always see the good that is worth fighting for makes him the bravest and most courageous of any character.
Maid of Honor
Karsyn, keeper of the bees, has been best friends with Emily since sophomore year in high school, where they bonded over interactive Shakespeare reading (and a wonderful performance, might I say). Karsyn is currently attending medical school, has a published paper in Greek mythology, and is an incredible artist. She has an amazing creativity and an analytical mind. She is smart, sweet, kind, gracious, funny, and an Amazonian Goddess (in Emily's opinion).
Best Man
John and Leo met when they were weeeeeee little babies, 6 months old, and have been best friends since. They share a fondness for movies (especially horror movies), video games, laughing, and Wings! He is incredibly ambitious, talented, driven, funny, and "ode yayalicious". He is a true and loyal friend and one that Leo would have gone with to the end, into the very fires of Mordor.
