Emily Southard
Maid of Honor
It all started way back in Junior High, over 28 years ago, when Devon first laid eyes on Emily's fiery red locks. It was like fate had brought them together!

Emily's got you covered - she's got all the stories and isn't afraid to spill the beans 😉. Emily's the epitome of the perfect best friend - a delightful mix of goofiness and depth.

She lives all the way in Denver with her awesome hubby, Will, and their adorable pooch, Nali.
