Maid of Honor
Thalia and Emily met back in 2015 when they both made the all-female a cappella group in college. Also, Thalia was the best roomie for 2 whole years post-grad. Nick also loves to remind Emily that he's known Thalia longer than he's known her. :)

Brianna and Emily also met in college acappella. Super duper fun fact: Bri is the best matchmaker of all time since she is the reason why Nick and Emily even started talking in the first place. Thanks Bri! :)
