Wedding Party

Kylee Peterson

Maid of Honor

Emily met Kylee when she moved to Orion in third grade. Emily made her a welcome card and they have been best friends since. From slumber parties, to living together at Northern Illinois University, and being Emily's cupid the night she met Bryce. It's only fitting that Kylee stands next to Emily on the most exciting day of her life!

Jason Jones

Best Man

Bryce's best friend since the age of 4. He quickly discovered the "new baby brother" would stay around for quite some time. These two are always competing over something! Bryce is so excited to have his brother stand by him on his big day.

Jordan Miller

Matron of Honor

A dynamic duo since diapers! Emily and Jordan have always been more like family. They have been together for many life changes, challenges, and successes. Emily had the honor of watching Jordan marry the love of her life in July of 2020.

Emily and Kayla met in the Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program at SAU. These girls quickly created a "womance" and had many fun adventures in the QC. Emily owes it to Kayla for surviving grad school!

Oral Gordon

Groomsman

These bro's met at the gym junior year of high school. Their friendship grew over lifting weights and talking trash - Oral took lifting to a whole new level. Although Oral has moved around for the military, these two have remained constant friends.

Annie Bingham

Bridesmaid

Emily and Annie's moms were friends before they came along so this friendship was destined to be! Though always friends, these two became closer during the summer of 2014. Annie has always been such a supportive, free spirited, good vibes kind of gal.

Raegan Waite

Bridesmaid

Emily's cousin who is more like the sister she never had! These two bond on pranking their grandma and eating yummy food. Raegan has always been such a positive light in Emily's life. She's even doubling as their wedding photographer! Safe to say she holds a vital part in the wedding weekend!

A bond built over sports. Bryce and Trae have been lifelong friends. While Trae is usually out of state for the military, these guys never skip a beat once back together.

Paige Diamond

Gal pals since birth - these two go way back! Emily and Paige have countless memories together - from daycare, sports teams, to family vacations, and visiting Paige in her home of San Francisco.
