Emily & Maxwell
Wedding Party
Natalie Hassett
Maid of Honor
Somehow lying to a bunch of boys about being best friends with a random girl from my hall and my Delta Zeta pledge class at a party the first week of college brought me the most special friendship in the entire world. From Clemson, South Carolina to Florence, Italy, freshman year to senior year, graduate school and pharmacy school, my adventures with Emily have filled my heart with so much joy. My friendship with Emily is one of those that you hope and pray for your entire life. The person you know you will laugh with all day, dance with all night and will always put a smile on your face no matter how many tears come your way. It is my pleasure to be next to you on your big day because you deserve the world!

Best Man
I met Max during rush sophomore year, but it feels like I’ve known him a lot longer. We’ve lived together, gone on many trips, and shared countless memories, but that wouldn’t be what I’m most proud of about him. I’ve seen Max grow into the man he is today, and while being around him, his drive for success and love for others is contagious and can only make one think how the world needs more people like him. I’m thankful for his friendship, his advice, and his ability to make anyone laugh to remind them of the simple things in life. I'm proud to call him my brother, and I can’t wait to see he and Emily take this next step on their journey through life with one another.

Maid of Honor
Julie and Emily grew up just across the street from each other- 84 steps away to be exact! They became inseparable over the years, spending almost everyday together. Although they now live 584 miles away from each other, whenever they see each other it’s as if nothing has changed!

Best Man
Knowing max from a young age it was a great experience seeing our friendship and each other grow. From cross county races and High School to being in the same fraternity and sleeping on my futon every morning sophomore year. It was and has been truly an amazing journey and I’m thankful for every moment so far. I wish both Max and Emily luck as they transition into this next chapter of their lives

The first time I met Emily was the first DZ function freshman year. That was the first of so many adventures that didn’t turn out quite the way we planned in the best way possible. I couldn’t begin to go into all the memories we made along the way and how much they meant to me. And then she found Max who fell seamlessly into our adventures and managed to make them all the more fun. I couldn’t be more excited to stand by her while she starts this new chapter of her life!

Max and I became friends in 8th grade, and during the early stage of our friendship I would always joke that he would just come over to drink all of our milk and eat my Captain Crunch. He became like a brother to me, and we would be at each other’s house so much that our parents would claim us as their own. We played baseball and ran cross country together with our close knit group of friends. Our most recent trip and probably my favorite was our trip to Bonnaroo a couple summers ago. It was the weekend I turned 21 and it was an amazing experience. I’m so grateful to have met Max, and I’m so lucky to be a part of another great experience in being a part of his wedding. Best of luck to them and let the rest for their days be filled with happiness.

Emily and I met freshman year clemson and since then it’s been fun times and friendships (occasionally games). My favorite thing about Emily is the joy and kindness she brings to every room. I can’t wait for more years of traveling, clemson games, and friendship. I was there the weekend max and Emily met and I’m so excited to continue to watch their love story grow!

I first met Max about 5 years ago, when he was just one of Tanner’s best friends from high school. If you asked me then, I would have never guessed that I would be writing this and about to be celebrating one of the happiest days of his life not only as a close friend, but as a member of his wedding party. We quickly became friends his first semester at Clemson, mainly due to the fact we had a couch for him to sleep on, but this eventually turned into becoming big and little in our fraternity. Just as that was a great day, I can't wait to share this one with him too. After getting to know Emily over the last few years, I'm excited for them and looking forward to seeing them take this next step.

Bridesmaid
Emily became one of my greatest friends sophomore year as we struggled through organic chemistry together and were neighbors on the sorority hall. You could regularly find us dancing on elevated surfaces prior to functions and football games. We then grew closer taking on a more serious role as executive board members for Delta Zeta where we depended on each other to make it through that year. I can’t wait to dance the night away with you on your special night

Thanks to our buddy Jake, Max and I were immediately thrown together the first day we met as pledges. Since then, it’s been years of great times and friendship. Countless late nights, weekends, and trips together have created a bond that will last a lifetime. I’m proud of the man he has become and honored to call Max a brother. I couldn’t be happier for him and Emily, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.
Haines Fleshman
Bridesmaid
Haines and Emily met through their sorority, Delta Zeta, and became close while living on the hall during their sophomore year at Clemson. Emily’s fun spirit and infectious personality could light up a room, and she and Haines were instant friends - often spending time together every weekend at various tailgates and parties! Haines and Emily lived in the same apartment complex the following two years, where many bonding moments ensued through watching the bachelor and hosting 21st birthday parties. One might say that Haines and Emily have followed each other through their 20s because as soon after Emily declared she would be attending pharmacy school at MUSC, Haines said she would be attending MUSC the following year as well! It is clear that fate has brought these friends together!

I met Max as I was pledging our fraternity as a freshman. Little did I know that we would soon become close friends, hanging out playing pool, Cards Against Humanity, or just screwing around as college students do. The first time I met Emily we were playing Cards Against Humanity and all I knew was that some random girl was hanging out with a bunch of guys, and smoking us all in cards. As I got to know both Max and Emily better, I quickly figured out that they were perfect for each other. To be here for them on this special day is an incredible honor and I couldn’t be happier for them.
