Emma & Max
Wedding Party
Andrew Bak
Best Man
Andrew and Max have been friends since they were in high school where they both ran cross-country. They lived together in college for 3 years and shared a room for the majority of that time. They spent many late nights playing Madden 96 against each other in their dorm room and generally finding ways to trash-talk each other. They had each other’s back throughout college and to this day. Some of their best hang out time has been going on long runs and talking about their next adventures.
Chloe Salzman
Maid of Honor
Chloe and Emma have been attached at the hip since Spring 2013, when Emma joined Sigma Kappa and Chloe became her "big sister." They've traveled the world together and are also very good at doing nothing together. They are always on each other's nerves, always down for an adventure, and when they're not on an adventure they always know exactly where the other one is and what they're doing. They've become apart of each other's families (you know, outside of the whole sorority family thing) and are practically sisters.
Evan Brooke
Groomsman
Evan and Emma have been best friends since 1996, right when Evan was born. If Emma needs adult advice? Call Evan. If Emma wants to hop on a plane and needs and adventure partner? Call Evan. If Emma wants to talk about Mom and Dad and their ongoing antics? Call Evan. He is the mathematical and musical sibling that Emma has always looked up to...even though he's younger.
Sally Schisler
Bridesmaid
Max was actually the first person to give Sally a gift while she was a few hours old in the hospital. Well it was really Max’s parents that let Max give her a gift since they are only 4 years apart in age. They have been giving each other life advice for as long as they both can remember. Sally is the type of sibling who knows how to keep you laughing for hours, but also wants to talk to you about your day-to-day problems. They are always there for each other in the best and worst of times.
Aaron Chan
Groomsman
Aaron and Max have been friends since suffering in the Engineering building at TCNJ together. They've built steel bridges together, climbed mountains together, and enjoy the occasional evening at the shooting range. One of their favorite places to camp is Mongaup Pond with Emma and Niki and they always manage to eat impressive amounts of food and catch unimpressive amounts of fish.
Samantha DiGrande
Bridesmaid
Sam and Emma have been friends since Sam joined Sigma Kappa in 2014. They bonded over plans to drink wine in the TCNJ Library during finals season. One time, Emma dragged Sam out on a hike and she hated it, so instead they enjoy going out for large CPK salads, spilling tea, and tracking each other on find my friends. Sam and Emma's mom are BFF's too because they're coworkers.
Tom Crockford
Groomsman
Tom and Max met while they were both Sophomores at TCNJ. Their mutual love for adventure and the outdoors has grounded them in their life and friendship for year. They both have a passion for skiing and snowboarding and love adventuring together any chance they get. They have snowboarded together in everything from feet of fresh powder, to spring corn, to literal rocks and mud. Tom even convinced Max to join the Mountain Creek Ski Patrol where they both patrol every winter. Don’t get the two laughing about anything because they will never stop.
Kendall McCarthy
Bridesmaid
Kendall and Emma also met in Sigma Kappa when she joined in 2014. They both served as executive officers on the same board together, and ended up living together after college until Emma moved in with Max. Kendall is very good at keeping Emma level headed and sane through college, teaching, grad school, and life in general. Honestly, she deserves a medal.
Brian Frank
Groomsman
Brian and Max have been best friends since kindergarten when they started riding the bus together. They lived down the street from each other for their entire childhood. They played Xbox for hours after school – especially during snowstorms – to beat Halo and Legendary. They were both Boy Scouts throughout their childhood where they learned how to use a compass and actually cut down a tree with several rocks to name a few of their accomplishments.
Hayley Owen
Bridesmaid
Hayley and Emma have been childhood friends since they were both safety patrol officers in the fifth grade. Their childhood was full of fond memories of sitting on Hayley's kitchen floor and befriending a plastic seal named Earlobe, which has become a longstanding token of their friendship. Although they've had a long distance friendship for the past 7-8 years, they always make time for long phone calls.
Joey Grasso
Groomsman
Joe and Max have been a part of each other’s lives since Max was born – they are cousins. Max has always considered Joe a big brother and looks up to him for advice. When they are not shredding the slopes together, they are usually hatching a plan to get back on the snow. Joe always finds a way to lighten the mood of any situation.
Sarah Perry
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Emma were randomly selected as roommates freshman year...and because Sarah is crazy they roomed together for the remaining three years in college. They've been through it all together (some of which cannot be posted on an online public website.) They both have enough dirt on each other that will last a lifetime. Another witness of these events is Julio, the house cat that they fondly adopted and fed in their senior year house. He is pictured above.
