Emily & Stephen
Wedding Party
Sarah Baumann
Maid of Honor
It started with filming a cooking lesson for 10th grade Spanish class and it continues with a lifelong sisterhood. Sarah has been by Emily's side through the best and worst of times for over a decade, so of course she'd be Emily's right hand woman on the Big Day!
Raven Ahrens
Bridesmaid
From UT intramural Quidditch rivals to roommates to bridesmaids in each other's weddings- this friendship glow-up is something to behold. They've grown together from nerdy, but athletic, undergrads to pretty cool healthcare professionals (who still get pumped for Star Wars movies).
Madeline Krebs
Bridesmaid
Madeline, who saw Stephen’s new profile pic and thought he might be Emily’s type, is probably the 3rd most important person in this wedding. She and Emily met at age 5, and rekindled their friendship as roommates at UT. They’ve since hiked the Grand Canyon, hosted the best Christmas parties, and eaten pounds of cheese together, and they’re not done yet!
Marisa Matheson
Bridesmaid
Emily won the jackpot when Marisa was assigned as her roommate while studying abroad in London. After sharing a closet-sized bedroom and dozens of adventures, their friendship was proven to survive any obstacle. Marisa and Emily have since continued to travel the world together, so obviously Marisa would be by Emily's side for this new adventure!
Lindsay Sloan
Bridesmaid
Lindsay and Emily met through their a cappella group at UT, and continue to share their love for movies, anime, and playing dress up. As they're used to sharing the stage, it's only natural that they'd stand together at Emily's wedding!
Mitch Donowho
Best Man
Since humble beginnings in drama class at Jackson Middle School, Mitch and Stephen have shared plenty of shenanigans. Stephen's wedding is only the latest.
Mike Carrell
Groomsman
Debatably Stephen's first spouse, Mike was Stephen's roommate for 7 blissful years. Emily is deeply sorry for ending this common-law marriage.
Spencer Crum
Groomsman
As Stephen's lifelong workout buddy, Spencer has been spotting weights and lifting spirits since '09.
Kyle Fleischer
Groomsman
Friends since elementary school, Kyle and Stephen have shared food, concert tickets, opinions, and dates.
Carter Fritz
Groomsman
Always willing to share laughs and spreadsheets, Carter has been a loyal friend to Stephen since their humble beginnings at some very boring job.
Miles Luna
Officiant
Stephen unofficially moved into Mile's dorm over spring break freshman year, but officially moved into his heart forever. Miles has since been there whenever Stephen needed a shoulder to cry on or a couch to lie on.
