Wedding Party
Emily Blake
Maid of Honor
Emily and I have been friends since infancy! Our parents met in birthing class before welcoming baby girls born just eight days apart. Though we never shared the same schools or activities, we’ve grown up together through every season of life. She’s my lifelong support system, my chosen sister, and I’m so honored to have her as my maid of honor.
Matthew Long
Best Man
Matt and I met through an apartment roommate matching app — basically Tinder, minus the pickup lines. We became roommates, then quickly became best friends. Just weeks later, we went through Rush together and both joined the same fraternity. From late-night Brahms runs to DP Shootouts at Chimys, Matt has been a constant friend through every part of college. I’m proud to call him my best man.
Ainslee Waterston
Bridesmaid
Ainslee and I have been friends since first grade, when she invited a “random girl” from class over for a sleepover (me!). That night sparked a lifelong friendship. Her love for the arts has always inspired my creative side, and I cherish every memory we’ve made since 2006 🤍
Brendan Neiman
Groomsman
Brendo and I first met after finding out he was my big in AKPsi.
Juliet Sittler
Bridesmaid
Juliet and I met junior year of college when we became roommates, and what started as a simple living arrangement quickly turned into a lifelong friendship. From our time at the University of Arkansas to every memory since, I cherish our bond. She inspires me daily, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side.
Jacob Luce
Groomsman
Jacob and I met during a fraternity event. I accused him of drinking my liquor to later find out I was wrong. We made amends and became bestest of friends! Love you!!!!
Breanna De Leeuw
Bridesmaid
Breanna and I met junior year at the University of Arkansas through work. I was very shy (hard to believe!), and she was immediately outgoing! She pulled me out of my shell and quickly became one of my best friends. She’s endlessly loyal, full of wisdom, and I can’t imagine life without her.
Eric Arias
Groomsman
Technically we met through a friend when we were invited on a party bus. Eric was casually giving out lap dances. I received one and the rest was history (;
Carissa Demma
Bridesmaid
Carissa and I met at the end of freshman year at the University of Arkansas and quickly became close at the start of our sophomore year. She’s someone I’ve always been able to be myself with, sharing countless interests along the way. She’s a true friend to everyone, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side.
Mikey Gonzalez
Groomsman
I forgot how I met him tbh… too much protein powder and monster shotguns were probably involved.
Heidi Willy
Bridesmaid
Heidi and I met freshman year at the University of Arkansas, but our friendship truly grew the summer before senior year. She’s one of the goofiest people with the kindest heart. She’s strengthened my faith and has always been someone I can count on. I’m so thankful for her constant support and friendship!
Bobby Rossi
Groomsman
After getting invited over for fried rice we later realized all his time was being put into rocket league and teaching me how to do an ariel. He’s been a great coach for food and love! Yours truly, Gar Bear🧸
Shelby Cooper
Bridesmaid
Shelby and I met while earning our doctorate degrees at KU Med. She is one of the kindest & most loyal people you’ll ever meet. She was such a rock for me as we worked our way through graduate school together, & in a short time she became one of my best friends. Proof that the best friendships can come later in life! 🤍
Gage Blake
Groomsman
Gage and I quickly became friends after a few double dates with Maddie and Emily. We mostly just discuss how to maintain our yards and which liquor is the best. Simple conversations but a great friend.
