She is an energetic, loving, and adorable little girl who adores her siblings and cousins. Harmony has become Emma and Noah’s little buddy whenever they visit Gigi’s house.
Zach Procter
Groomsman
Noah's oldest brother and a big influence during my childhood. He gave Zayn three amazing cousins and always seemed to be doing the right thing. Noah looked up to him a lot growing up, especially before he really understood what being a man meant.
Vince Procter
Groomsman
Noah's other older brother—loyal, low-key, and always ready to help. They've always had a strong bond, even if they don’t talk daily. Back in the day, they were known as “Hands and Feets” when we dominated Super Smash Bros. online.
DeeDee Colbert
Groomsman
Noah's best friend and former next-door neighbor when he first moved to Culpeper. Life split them into rival high schools, but they reconnected as college roommates. Deedee helped Noah land his first full-time job, and now they both are Territory Managers at US Foods.
Caleb Hayes
Groomsman
Caleb was one of Noah’s very first friends when he moved to Lakeview. Sharing similar interests, they always found various ways to earn money together, from mowing yards in the summer and shoveling driveways to working blue-collar jobs with Caleb's uncle. Their families grew very close as both boys played on the football team together. At one point, they were completely inseparable and even imagined themselves as a rap duo, going by the names Cnote1k and Bundo1k.
Sebastian Pullin
Groomsman
They’ve been close since middle school, having grown up in the same neighborhood and forming an early connection. Bash and Noah’s bond deepened even more in college—filled with late-night talks, unwavering support, and true loyalty. Bash has always looked out for Noah and his family as if they were his own.
Matthew Lowry
Groomsman
Matt and Noah met the summer before high school football and instantly clicked. Played varsity together, built a brotherhood, and stayed close after graduation. He’s always shown love to my son Zayn like family. From day one, he’s been someone Noah could count on.
Caleb Hastings
Groomsman
Caleb is Emma’s younger brother, and the two have always shared a great relationship. They remain best friends to this day and can bond over almost anything. He was also Noah’s college suitemate at UVA Wise, where they grew closer and bonded over basketball and intramurals. Once they discovered a shared passion for fitness, they started lifting together whenever their schedules aligned.
Daquan Battle
Groomsman
Daquan is one of Noah’s best friends, and they built a great relationship at UVA-Wise. He was a huge supporter of Emma and Noah’s relationship while they were in school. It’s also where he met his girlfriend, Sarah.

Zayn Procter
Ring Bearer
Zayn is Noah’s son, best friend, and Emma’s future stepson. He has brought so much love and light into their lives as a smart, kind, and energetic boy. He brightens every room he enters, and watching him grow has truly been the greatest blessing in both of their lives.
