Wedding Party
Danna Laurel
Maid of Honor
Emily's older sister and first best friend, fellow crazy cat lady, and designated hype woman. How can a lifetime of love and friendship be summarized into a small paragraph?!
Meagan Vining
Bridesmaid
Emily's first best friend at Oklahoma State University. The two were often spotted dressing like Kristin Wiig characters from SNL, and destroying every kitchen they tried to cook in. The two spent many late nights bonding and laughing, and not doing much homework.
Rebecca Reeves
Bridesmaid
Emily's best friend at Oklahoma State University, met through the Christian sorority/group Sigma Phi Lambda. Rebecca shares Emily's disgust with all things Dallas, and a love for Taylor Swift.
Alexandra Paul
Bridesmaid
Emily's best friend at Oklahoma State University, met through Rebecca and ended up living with her for the last 2 years of college. The two also share a love for Taylor Swift, and hosted many living room Taylor karaoke sessions. Alex always pushed Emily to study harder and be better all around!
Lauren Hornbeak
Bridesmaid
Emily's best friend, originally bonded over the chaos of the Biology team at Cy Creek High School. Lauren has an incredible gift of being able to turn scrap paper and tape into beautiful decorations!
Jill Burkey
Bridesmaid
Emily's best friend, met on the Science Department at Cy Creek High School. Jill is one of the most organized and creative people Emily knows! She's helped organize Emily's closets on more than one occasion. Jill is an atmosphere/weather savant- be sure to ask about that heat lightning!
Dana Wainwright
Best Man
Ryan's very close friend since zero year old and close blood relative (brother)
Corey Rousseau
Groomsman
Childhood friend since third grade and Big East rival since 2007. Before Tom Brady and Julian Edelman, there were two ten-year olds that carried the New England Patriots to numerous Super Bowl Championships.
Matt MacDonald
Groomsman
Canobie Lake Park Ride Operator (alongside Ryan) turned Houston first responder. Please bring all of your very personal medical concerns directly to him on Wedding Day
Derek McLeod
Groomsman
Another Canobie Lake Park Ride Operator turned Boston Connoisseur. Need to know how many T stops it takes to get from A St in Southie to Lansdown St at Fenway? Hottest breweries within 5 blocks of the Harbor? Top 5 Bruins Hockey Moments of all-time? He's your man.
Adam Sweeney
Groomsman
A third Canobie Lake Park Ride Operator (are the groomsmen just a walking ad for a local amusement park?). Adam and Ryan pretended to look important at Canobie which slowly transformed to pretending to look important working in Boston together. This friendship truly blossomed at Gillette Stadium when they both caught multiple Patriots AFC Championship games.
Phil Liquori
Groomsman
One of Ryan's college roommates formerly known as the Italian Stallion. Be careful not to look into his eyes for too long as it is rumored that after just five seconds you can see into your own soul.
Kevin Cassidy
Groomsman
Another one of Ryan's college roommates. Ryan thinks he works hard and is well-organized from time-to-time... and then he catches up with Kevin and realizes there's always room for improvement.
Zach Corcoran
Groomsman
To quote the great poet of our generation, Rihanna: Zach and Ryan "fell in love in a hopeless place" grinding out long hours at the firm that uprooted and brought both of them together in Houston.
