Wedding Party
Emma Theis
Maid of Honor
Emma Rhea is stuck with Naomi for life. She is her longest best friend, so unexpectedly funny, and the greatest travel partner. Em is everything good in life and Naomi couldn't imagine her life without her. They have been talking about the fact that Em will be Naomi’s Maid of Honor since they were kids and now the time has finally come. Naomi is blessed to have Emma by her side on such an incredibly special day.
Stephen Keith
Best Man
Shane’s first friend. Stephen and his family lived directly across the street from Shane's childhood home. They attended the same elementary, middle, and high schools and were thick as thieves the whole way.
Katie Stutzman
Matron of Honor
Katie Kates has been Naomi’s rock for the past 3 years. She has walked with Naomi through the most difficult time of her life, directing her back to Jesus every step of the way. Katie has become Naomi’s other half and has blessed her with a new forever BFF, Miss Ellie May. Katie is wise beyond her years, is full of compassion, and has brought nothing but joy into Naomi’s life. Naomi’s day wouldn’t be complete without Katie as her Matron of Honor.
Cody Hendrickson
Best Man
Master-at-arms U.S Navy Reserves Cody is the kind of friend that if you asked him for help burying a body the only thing he would ask is, how deep?
Kailyn Pepper
Bridesmaid
Kailyn is the sister that Naomi didn’t know she needed. Kailyn is more than just a sister-in-law, she is also one of Naomi’s closest friends. From apartment parties at UF to bonding over protein bagels and smutty books, Kailyn is one of Naomi’s favorite people to spend time with. Kailyn is kind, creative, and easy to have around. Oh, and she is able to impersonate a sheep like none other (it’s incredible). Naomi hit the jackpot when it comes to sister-in-laws and couldn’t imagine her wedding day without her sister by her side as a bridesmaid.
Danny Riordan
Groomsman
Danny aka Dano. The 007 of Shane’s friends... Dano has lived many lives. Danny and his family moved to Florida from New Jersey when Danny was in elementary school. Landing in the same class as Shane and Stephen, they all became friends and the rest is history.
Joselette Crisostomo
Bridesmaid
Jos is Naomi’s college best friend and easily the funniest person in the room. What started as an awkward introduction turned into weekly visits to DI coffee bar and sleepovers in Naomi’s dorm room most nights. They have laughed until they’ve cried (or stopped breathing altogether lol), bonded over toxic exes, and kept in touch despite a whole lot of distance. Jos is one of the most important people in Naomi’s life and she couldn’t adore her more. Naomi is blessed to have a future surgeon stand by her side as one of her bridesmaids.
Benjamin Pepper
Groomsman
Naomi's older brother Ben. When Shane was first introduced to the large group of Pepper friends and family, Ben was particularly welcoming. Shane and Naomi love spending time with him and his wife, Kailyn, for game nights and double dates. Shane has always said that he and Ben would be great friends if they had met outside of Naomi.
