Wedding Party
Emily
Bride
Meet the Bride- Emily is the heart of our little world — steady, kind, and full of quiet strength. Originally from Maine, she followed her career to Louisiana nearly a decade ago, but her roots (and heart) never strayed far from home. She has a way of making every moment brighter — whether she’s cheering me on through life’s adventures or making me laugh when I need it most. Emily is thoughtful in everything she does and has the biggest heart of anyone I know. She’s my best friend, my greatest supporter, and the person who makes every day feel like home.
Leslie
Bride
Meet The Bride- I’m Leslie, and I still can’t believe I get to marry Emily. From the moment we met, everything just felt easy — like we were always meant to find our way to each other. We’ve been together since the Fourth of July 2024 (sparks really did fly), and every day since has been filled with laughter, love, and the kind of support that feels like home. Emily is my biggest cheerleader, my calm in the chaos, and the one who makes life endlessly brighter. She proposed, and without hesitation, I said yes to forever with her.
Sheryl
Mother of the Bride
Meet the Mother of the Bride (Leslie’s) Leslie’s mom has always been her heart’s home — the person who has loved her endlessly, believed in her unconditionally, and walked beside her through every season of life. Their bond runs deeper than words; it’s built on late-night talks, shared laughter, and the kind of love that anchors you no matter where life leads. She isn’t just a mother — she’s Leslie’s best friend, her safe place, and her forever source of strength. Watching her daughter begin this next chapter is both bittersweet and beautiful — a moment filled with pride, love, and the quiet joy of knowing she helped her become the woman she is today.
Rich
Father of the Bride
Meet the Father of the Bride (Leslie’s) Part protector, part comedian, and full-time proud dad — he’s been preparing for this day since the moment Leslie came into his world. In June 2025, Leslie asked him to officially adopt her, making their bond even more special. He may joke his way through most moments, but everyone knows he’ll be the one holding back tears when he walks his favorite girl down the aisle.
Donna
Mother of the Bride
Meet the Mother of the Bride (Emily’s) Emily’s mom has always been her go to for advice, especially medical, as Emily considers her a Doctor. Contrary to most gender roles, she’s also the handyman of the house and has passed that trait on. Always a call away for a recipe. Through every trial and tribulation, and life’s emotional rollercoaster, she is the one Emily calls.
John
Father of the Bride
Meet the Father of the Bride (Emily’s) Emily has always been her dad’s little girl. From her earliest days on the golf course to winning State Championships together, as her partner and as her caddie. You name the sport, he has helped guide her. The logistical and fiscal mentor of the house, plenty of phone calls are made seeking advice on “life” decisions.
Nico & Luca
Ring Bearer
Meet Our Ring Bearers- Nico & Luca Our little nephews have the very important job of delivering the rings — though we can’t guarantee they won’t get distracted on the way! With their charm, giggles, and tiny tuxes, they’ll absolutely steal the spotlight (and our hearts). Whether the rings make it down the aisle or not, we know they’ll give everyone something to smile about!
Alex Hussey
Officiant
Meet the Officiant — Leslie’s younger brother, Alex, will be officiating our ceremony — a role that means so much to both of us. He’s been a constant source of love, laughter, and support throughout Leslie’s life, and having him stand beside us as we begin this next chapter feels truly special. His kind heart, steady presence, and the bond they share make this moment even more meaningful. We couldn’t imagine anyone else guiding us through the words that start out forever.
Winston & Harley
Dogs of Honor
Meet our Dogs of Honor: Winston & Harley 🐾 While they won’t be making the trip to celebrate in person, our beloved pups Winston and Harley will absolutely be part of our special day in spirit. Winston, our 2½-year-old bundle of energy, keeps life entertaining with his goofy personality and endless enthusiasm. Harley, his calm and loyal big sister, is our laid-back girl who brings the perfect balance to his chaos. Though they’ll be waiting patiently at home, we know they’ll be celebrating right along with us—probably curled up sleeping, tails wagging, wondering when we’ll be back for snuggles and treats.
