Matron of Honor
Rachel and I met at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY. She was in my first class but we didn't become friends until sophomore year and the memories I have created with her are some of the best in my life. Even though we live hours apart, we talk everyday. She calls me at midnight every year on my birthday and leaves me epic voicemails that I save and still listen to. No matter what life throws at us we get through it together, dancing the whole way!
Best Man
Josh and I first became friends at Illing Middle School when we met on a Ski Club trip. Little did we know that nearly 20 years later we would still be the closest of friends, despite spending a number of years hundreds of miles apart. Josh is someone who whenever I came home to CT for a visit, would always make the time to hang out and catch up. His friendship is one I value and cherish and I am honored he could be a part of this important day in Emily and my life.

Where do I begin with describing my big brother? Those of you who have known us since childhood know that we weren't always close. Boy have things changed! You went off to college in 2004 and our dynamic changed rapidly, and for the first time we were truly friends. Fast forward to 2016 and you and Sarah honored me by having me perform the wedding ceremony for you both! Scott, you are an incredible brother and friend and I am so grateful to have you here beside me as we welcome another beautiful woman into our family!
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met at St. John's Lutheran Church in Albany, NY. We weren't close until years after we first met. She came home from college, we met up and everything just clicked. Lauren is truly my soul sister. She answers the phone whenever I call. Her guidance and support even though we live so far apart is always present. I love you to the moon and back!
Groomsman
Ethan is and always will be my little brother. He is working on his undergraduate degree at Niagara University and still loves soccer just as much as the first day he played at five years old and scored for the other team. He has been to countless dance recitals, band concerts, and graduation ceremonies; my wedding day is no different. I couldn't imagine having a special day without him present.

Rachel and I met in 6th grade and have been close ever since. She is the ying to my yang, the peanut butter to my chocolate, and the clarinet to my flute. We danced together for many years and actually performed a senior duet together at Proctor's Theatre. Rachel braved many Knapp family outdoor adventures and always helped me conquer challenges that arose with style. No matter how far apart we are, we have always managed to stay in touch. Having her with us on this special day means the world as we create more memories to cherish.

Where do we begin with our B?! She came into our lives at a year old and has us completely wrapped around her finger. We love our family dinner nights, our hikes and watching her giggle when Tyrion gives her kisses. B is an amazing big sister and we are so happy she is part of our day!

Helen is ALWAYS smiling. She has grown so much since we first held her in our arms and will be chasing her sister Brooke before we know it!
