Wedding Party
Morgan Sims
Maid of Honor
Morgan has been the closest thing Emily has had to a sister in her life. They met at 8-years-old when they both made the same dance team, and the rest is history! If you know Emily, it is likely you know Morgan too. The two have been near inseparable for most of their lives, and each of their families has accepted the other as one of their own. You can catch them flashing their signature pose at almost any event. Emily can't wait to have Morgan by her side for this special day!
Tanner Niska
Best Man
Tanner and Blake have been friends for most of their lives. One of Blake's first memories of Tanner is tagging along with Blake's sister Cali to help babysit at Tanner's house, where they proceeded to jump off of bunk-beds into a pile of pillows. This was the start of many of their dangerous adventures together, which have included cliff jumping and long boarding down the biggest hills they could find.
Makayla Stoker
Bridesmaid
Kayla and Emily have been through it all together. Buddies since kindergarten, the two have been through the rollercoaster of life together! Their friendship has been filled with lots of laughs and adventures. Kayla and Emily can almost always be found dancing in the kitchen, crying at rom-coms, or sitting around at Lake Coeur d' Alene. Emily is so happy to have Kayla there on her special day!
Kacey Crye
Bridesmaid
Kacey has been a light in Emily's life from the start. She gives the best advice, and her laugh brightens the room. Kacey and Emily's friendship started in their awkward middle school years, and has grown to be one to last a lifetime. Emily recently got to be a part of Kacey's special day, and is so happy to have Kacey here for hers!
Kayla Robles
Bridesmaid
When searching for what the sorority world calls a "big" and a "little", Emily and Kayla instantly knew they wanted to be this for each other. The two hit it off with a shopping trip and bonded over a love for CougarGold Mac and Cheese from SouthFork (the best restaurant in Pullman). They have shared many laughs, and even got to live together for 3 short months. Emily is so excited to have Kayla by her side on her wedding day!
KaLyn Kennedy
Bridesmaid
KaLyn and Emily are the two oldest girl cousins on the Varney side of the family, and while they have lived across the country from each other for most of their lives, this hasn't stopped them from being able to form a wonderful friendship with each other. KaLyn joked once that Emily would likely be married before her, but Emily was able to visit Florida recently to be a part of KaLyn's special day, and is so happy to have her as part of her bridal party!
Kara Barnes
Bridesmaid
Kara became a part of Emily's life when she dated, and then married, Emily and Blake's friend Caleb. Kara is one of the sweetest people that Emily has ever met. Many game nights have brought Emily and Blake close to Caleb and Kara, and Emily is excited to have them both be a part of their bridal party in October!
Caleb Barnes
Groomsman
Caleb and Blake met through mutual friends at church. One of Blake's first memories with Caleb was when he was being asked to play basketball in Caleb's ward, and ended up participating in a church tournament with him. Caleb and his wife Kara have become great friends to Blake and Emily, and they all enjoy long game nights and many laughs (and no game night would be complete without Caleb's famous cookies).
Ethan Meyers
Groomsman
Ethan and Blake met on the tennis court at SCC; they became friends through shared interests in tennis and many other sports. They have enjoyed several years of Hoopfest and many hours pulling up carpet as coworkers together. They also enjoy trips with their friends, whether it be camping or to the Oregon Coast.
Chase Ferrell
Groomsman
Chase and Blake became friends while on the tennis courts at Mead High School. As doubles partners in tennis they were very successful. They also enjoy nights of ping pong and video games together with their friends. Corn hole and boating on the lake have also been activities enjoyed together.
Ryan Fraser
Groomsman
Ryan and Blake met on the Mead High School tennis courts and became friends soon after. They enjoyed intense basement ping pong tournaments that continue to this day. The two also enjoy going rock climbing, bouldering, and skiing together.
Niamh Lakewolf
Groomsman
Tennis court buddies from SCC, Niamh and Blake have spent many hours together playing this sport. They have also spent days at local frisbee golfing courses, which has led to many healthy competitions between the two. Niamh is the goofiest person Blake has ever met, and can make him laugh even when he isn't trying to.
