Emily & Cameron
Wedding Party
Jessica Swanda
Matron of Honor
I met Emily our Sophomore year of high school, and we have been best friends ever since. Emily has been by my side during some of the hardest and some of the most exciting days of my life. She was my maid of honor a couple years ago, and I’m thrilled to be her maid of honor in June. (I refuse to say matron because that makes me sound like I should be sitting in a rocking chair telling stories about the good old days). I can’t wait to be part of one of the most significant days in Emily’s life. Em and Cameron, much love to you both!
Hunter Smith
Best Man
I’ve known Cameron for 20 years now. We were roommates all the way up to the age of eight we were still living with my parents at the time, pathetic I know. I guess our friendship blossomed when we became business partners and founded Smith Bros Film Company. Though the company later shut down, due to the fact that we were eleven and thirteen and only had a small camcorder, we continued to be mates. We were so close, some called us brothers. I am honored to be able to stand beside him at his wedding and support him like he has always supported me.

Emily and I became fast friends during our freshman year of college. It's rare to have a friend from freshman year all the way through college and beyond, but here we are. We've spent many hours together laughing, studying, adventuring, talking about life, God, and boys. We've cried with each other, hurt each other's feelings, and made-up. Our friendship has grown with us as people and through out all of the changes life has thrown at us. I'm so happy to see someone I love so much being loved so well, and I'm excited to stand next to Emily as she begins this new chapter in life.

Cameron and I met freshman year at BJU. We were on the same hall, in the same society, and spent a lot of time in the theatre department together. Over the last six years, I have come to call Cameron one of my closest friends, and I feel truly blessed to have him in my life. Wherever the next steps may take us, I know this will be a friendship that lasts a lifetime. To the bride and groom: I wish you all the best in your new life together.

I met Emily at orientation before freshman year but it wasn't until we started school that we really hit it off and became fast friends. Despite different majors and opposite schedules we became close during our 4 years at Bob Jones, making time for lunches and plays. It's definitely hard to keep a friendship long distance and it takes a special person but I know Emily is always there for me and has been a supportive and loving friend. I cannot wait to stand by her on her special day and celebrate with her and Cameron!

I first met Cameron freshman year. I remember walking into my room second semester and was introduced to him then. Since then, we have managed to survive undergrad, experience BJU's first spring break, graduation, and eventually became roommates. Over the past five years he has become one of my best friends and I am glad to be a part of this momentous occasion! Congratulations man! I wish you and Emily all the best as you start this new chapter in your lives!

Bridesmaid
I met Emily through a mutual friend during our first few weeks of college, actually it was the same event where she first met Cameron... Over the four years of college, countless meals, great conversations, a few prank calls, birthday parties, and custody of a pet fish were shared. I even went on my first group outing with my now husband with Emily, and was lucky enough to have her coordinate my wedding day!

Cameron and I first got to know each other during rehearsals for Bob Jones University’s production of Wait Until Dark in 2013. We ended up working together on seven different productions within three years. #DramaQueens I spent an entire Christmas break with Cameron and his family, and also lived across the hall from Cam during graduate school. I’m very thankful to have had Cameron as a groomsman at my wedding last year, and I’m extremely honored to be standing with Cameron this year as he makes this covenant with Emily. Best wishes brother! May your love for God and one another only increase!

Emily and I met at freshman orientation! We were roommates that first year and Emily really helped me get through that first year of sewing! Hahaha So many memories!

I don't remember precisely when I met Cameron, but I know that it didn't take long after meeting at school for us to become close friends. Our mutual love of theatre, food, the Squatch, and standup comedy has filled the few years we've known each other with a lifetime of memories. I consider it a great privilege to be counted among Cameron's friends, and I am honored to stand by him on his wedding day.

Bridesmaid
We've been friends since we were girls, when strawberry lip gloss and Sperries were all the rage and when Anne of Green Gables was our lifeblood (oh wait, it still is). We went through our awkward fashion fazes together and our boy drama together. And now, we are all grown up! And Emily is getting married! We've talked about weddings and all of the planning for so long and your dreams are now reality! Love you, my beautiful friend. I hope your day as a lovely bride is as special as you are.

I first saw Cameron at an audition for a play. Little did I realize at the time that Cameron and I would become close friends by performing in 7 plays together over then next few years. From performing Shakespeare to teaching speech, Cameron and I have spent a large amount of the last several years working together and those experiences have led to quite a few things... sarcasm, a healthy dose of cynicism...but most importantly, a fantastic friendship. To quote from our main man , Billy Shakes, "I would not wish any companion in the world but you". I am so excited to be a part of your wedding day Cameron, and I will be here for you until the end. Congratulations!
