StephanieStephanie

Maid of Honor

Emily and Stephanie met in Georgia while working together at Target. She has been by my side, singing karaoke, going on Red Lobster dates, swimming in natural springs, playing dress-up at 1:00am, prepping the store for CEO visits and through all the tough things that come with moving to a new place. She got to see me and Michaels relationship from the beginning and now she gets to stand by by side when I say "I Do". I couldn't plan this wedding without my plant loving, kind hearted, girl boss HRETL.

Bryan WalkerBryan Walker

Best Man

Inseparable since their sophomore year of high school, Bryan and Michael met over a game of chess before class. Aside from being the smartest person Michael knows, he's also the most fun. After more than a decade of friendship, Bryan is the go-to person Michael asks for advice.

Emily JamesEmily James

Bridesmaid

Emily met Emily in High School many, many years ago. She has been a staple in my life ever since and has supported me through all that young adulthood has thrown at me. From long Virginia summer nights, to lush Oregon forests and gorgeous sunny beaches, me and Emily have been there, hitting a vape. Although we live in distance from each other, I know that I can call her whenever to catch up or rant about whatever's on my mind. I'm so excited to have her in my bridal party and to celebrate my forever love with her by my side!

Brandon SmithBrandon Smith

Groomsman

Brandon is the brother Michael never had. Between crashing at each other's places, covering each other's shifts at work, and watching each other's pets like they were nieces and nephews, one always had the other's back. Brandon has put Michael on to some peak anime and never fails to have a good time.

Mckenzie HendersonMckenzie Henderson

Bridesmaid

Where do I even start? Emily and McKenzie met briefly in high school but reconnected at her first wedding. After an insanely fun wedding night Emily and Kenzie became inseparable. From sleep overs, to long night drives and celebrating our birthdays together we have always been there laughing until our lungs gave out. Two years after McKenzie got stationed in Oklahoma, Emily found out she would be also be moving to the state. So once again Emily and her hype man are reunited and ready to party it up!

Wyatt RidgleyWyatt Ridgley

Groomsman

There was a brief 2-week period when West Virginia Wyatt, Brandon, Michael, and their friend Colten lived in Michael's 2-bedroom apartment right before a deployment. That's an easy way to become friends fast. The two bonded over movies, comics, drinking, and having a damn good (Morbin') time.

Amber LaubAmber Laub

Bridesmaid

Emily's younger sister. She's been there since day 608. We first met when my mom pushed her out. I don't know if i liked her at first because I pushed her down the stairs when she was a fresh baby. But as the years have gone by, I've learned to like her and not have the urge to commit a crime. I'm honored to have her by my side and help me with the stress and craziness that goes into planning a wedding.

Derrick BrockDerrick Brock

Groomsman

Man like Derrick has been with Emily and Michael since day one...well, more like day zero. Derrick was there when Amber asked if her sister could join their DnD campaign. The three of them have walked the streets of London, sheltered together during a hurricane, and gone to da movies.

Mayghen BrooksMayghen Brooks

Bridesmaid

Emily first met Mayghen during orientation at Target in Virginia. We bonded over Minecraft, music, and hid from stalkers while meticulously folding shirts and doing reshop. When we weren't dodging active shooters at Target we were eating tater tot taco salad and thrifting our hearts out. I could always count on her to be my concert buddy and show up to all my crazy parties, singing her heart out during Karaoke. I cant wait to sing Karaoke with her at my Wedding!!!

Dante TillmanDante Tillman

Groomsman

Dante has been a mentor to Michael in almost every aspect of life, whether it's advice about love, art, career, or honestly anything. He's someone Michael truly looks up to and respects. He's also got the best taste in music out of all of Michael's friends. (The only one who has heard of Pat the Bunny)

Stephanie's daughter and my unofficial daughter. This lil cutie loves pink, princesses, and Gabby's Doll House. She will be making her Flower Girl debut this fall!

Hailey, Ambers wife, got to have a front seat to Emily and Michaels relationship! Hailey's wonderful spirit and sense of humor is exactly why she's the perfect officiant. We can't wait to see what she says about us when we're at the Alter!
