Maid of Honor
Sarah and Courtney met by force at their churches young adult ministry. The young adult leader told everyone that they had to look at the celing and on the count of three, look at someone else in the room and then had to plan an out of church hang out with that person... Well, they both prearranged to look at the person they came with so they didn't have to do that but the young adult leader had other plans. She threw Sarah and Courtney together and by a stroke of luck they quickly became friends. They had weekly Saturday night sleep overs with Sarah's cousins and went to church together every Sunday. Sarah has been an incredible blessing to Robert, Courtney and Taylor in every way and it is only right that she hold the special title of Maid of honor.

Since then, Courtney and Emmy have gone few days without talking to eachother and enjoy hobbies such as drinking coffee together, spontaneous Target runs and complaining about their husbands.
