Wedding Party
Elizabeth Speed
Matron of Honor
Elizabeth Speed, or "Lizzie" as she's known to her friends and family, will be stepping into her once-in-a-lifetime role as 'Matron of Honor' for her sister. Emily and Lizzie are true partners in crime whenever they’re together, whether they’re creating a secret language, spending hours shopping at Dirt Cheap (R.I.P.), playing pranks on their parents, or enjoying a meal at any Mexican restaurant in Mississippi. Emily couldn't imagine having anyone else as her most important bridesmaid!
Justin Bryant
Best Man
Justin is Logan's oldest younger brother and a senior at Petal High School. He’s passionate about sports, particularly when it comes to competing with his friends and brothers. While Logan used to easily beat him, Justin now has the upper hand (at least in basketball!). Outgoing, athletic, and the life of the party, Justin brings energy wherever he goes. Logan is incredibly proud to call him not only his brother but also his best man!
Marlee Stewart
Bridesmaid

Emily is thrilled to have so much family, especially Marlee, by her side on her wedding day.
Seth Bryant
Groomsman

Madison Bryant
Bridesmaid
Madison is Logan's sister, and she has been a caring friend to Emily ever since she and Logan started dating. Fun fact: Emily actually met Madison before meeting Logan at a Disciple Now youth retreat—Madison has been part of their relationship from the very beginning! Currently, she is attending Pearl River Community College and is kindly walking down the aisle with her brother Seth. Emily cannot wait to gain another sister in Madison!
Patrick Dunkle
Groomsman
Patrick, also known as ‘Pat,’ ‘Dunk,’ or ‘Dunk Dunk,’ is another one of Logan’s roommates at MSU. They became instant friends in high school when Patrick helped Logan pass his Calculus I class! Now a senior studying civil engineering, Patrick and Logan share the same appetite and love making memories at the local frozen yogurt shop in Starkville and the China Garden Buffet. Logan truly values Patrick's authenticity and originality, and he’s excited to have him as one of his groomsmen!
Louise Berryhill-Stewart
Bridesmaid
Louise was the first sister-in-law to join the "Stewart Six" when she married Emily's brother, Stephen, in 2018, and she holds the title of the sweetest of them all! She is currently finishing her medical school residency program at the University of Arkansas, and Emily is so thankful she’s able to make the long trip to be in her wedding.
Sam Marlowe
Groomsman
Sam is one of Logan’s closest friends, with a bond forming during their college years as they both pursued degrees in electrical engineering—first at Jones College and now finishing up at Mississippi State University. After solving hours of homework problems together and living as roommates, Sam has become one of Logan’s dearest friends. Fun fact: Sam married his fiancée, Loren, a few months before Logan and Emily will tie the knot, and they’re both thrilled to take part in each other's weddings.
Madelyn Lynch
Bridesmaid
Madelyn is the newest friend in Emily’s bridal party, but that doesn’t make her any less important than those she’s known for years. Madelyn and Emily have become close friends through William Carey, their attendance at Petal-Harvey Baptist Church, and working together at Common Grounds coffee shop. It has also been wonderful for both Emily and Logan to grow closer to Madelyn and her fiancé, Micah (who is also one of Logan's groomsmen)! Madelyn has a kind and intentional heart, which is evident in the way she loves others deeply. Emily is excited to have Madelyn standing by her side on her wedding day.
Micah Mixon

Micah is another friend with whom Logan shares meaningful, uplifting conversations, and Logan is honored to have him as both a friend and a groomsman.
Marilyn Jeong
Bridesmaid
Marilyn has been Emily's longest-standing friend in the bridal party. While they attended Newton County High School together, it wasn’t until they shared a dorm room at William Carey University that they truly grew close. Through both the best and toughest times, Marilyn has been a steady source of support for Emily, offering wise guidance through Scripture. Emily is thrilled to have Marilyn’s comforting presence in her bridal party.
Jadon Glenn

Logan is thrilled to have Jadon, with his calm demeanor and reliability, by his side on his wedding day!
Viki McKeown
Bridesmaid
Viki is one of Emily's closest friends and former roommates. It took them a while to realize that they first met in 2014 in Thailand at a missionary family conference - the Lord works in crazy ways! Over the years, Viki and Emily have created countless inside jokes, often resulting in fits of laughter and confused looks from strangers in public. Viki has probably made Emily laugh more in a short period than anyone else, and Emily can’t wait to spend her wedding day laughing all day with Viki by her side.
Zachary Ladner
Groomsman
Logan can’t recall a time when he and Zach weren’t friends, but they grew especially close while attending Jones College. Since then, Zach has graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Computer Science. Some of Logan’s favorite memories with Zach include camping trips, disc golf competitions, and deep discussions in their discipleship group. He has always been a reliable and faithful friend to Logan, and Logan can't wait to have Zach stand by his side on his big day.

Logan is excited to have Clint be a big part of his wedding day!
