Wedding Party
Emily Corbett-Jordan
Bride
A Boston transplant from Philly. An empath who wears her emotions on her sleeve and gives her heart to "her kids" at school as much as she does to Drew, and the rest of her family. Drew is her grounding force, bringing her back down to Earth despite the challenges of day to day life. Despite being the Cougar in the relationship, she's always willing to learn from Drew and try things a new way. She's so glad she listened to a good friend that talked her into giving it a try with Drew because "he can cook and looks good without a shirt".
Drew Jordan
Groom
Looks good with his shirt off? Enthusiastic about cooking but not so crazy about doing dishes? What's not to love about Drew? Of all the thing that make Drew the catch he is, his best quality is his head-over-heels love for Emily. From the moment they met, he knew she was the one and that somehow, someway, he was going to marry her. I think it's safe to say that he's also a wizard capable of seeing the future.
Sarah Egan
Matron of Honor
Emily's older sister, the two did almost everything together growing up, from pretending to be the Spice Girls, or horses running around the backyard, to playing with our American Girl Dolls... Playing soccer together on the Unicorns team is one of their favorite high school memories together. The two were famous for our days of hosting bonfires after football games, where we were in The Amazing Strath Haven Marching Band! Sarah is now married to Jason Egan, and accompanied by their two children Elliott and Lorelei.
Diana Fuller-Dupont
Bridesmaid
Diana is a founding member of the famed "Marge Party" (Emily's group of 7 college BFFS). Diana and Emily's friendship goes all the way back to 2007, when Emily rarely spent time in her own dorm room, and carried her life in her backpack. The two were roommates in their famed Shirley Street home. Diana is a renowned school psychologist, and she and Emily often support one another about challenges at school, and share in their successes.
Ann Villarreal
Bridesmaid
Ann is another Marge Party member, she and Emily were friends all throughout their days at Clark University! Both were varsity student-athletes, and despite having incredibly tight schedules, always found time to hang out. Ann and Emily were roommates on Shirley Street for 3 years, including the year they both did the 5th year program. Both Ann and Emily have been teaching since 5th year, and have always learned from each other, and leaned on each other.
Allie Mitrovic
Bridesmaid
Allie is another member of Marge Party, she and Emily met when Emily would hear a good song through the wall of their suite (from the suite next door), and burst into the room to sing along. The two battled in SingStar, a karaoke type videogame. Their friendship continued to grow stronger during Emily's 5th year, when Allie would come visit with her then boyfriend (now husband) Darko. When Emily finally moved to Boston, she and Allie spent the majority of their downtime together, as neighbors in the Brookline area.
Cassidy Tarczali
Best Man
Drew met Cassidy in their first year at Emmanuel College. They were like old friends when they met, and ever since. She often plays the role of "voice of reason" for Drew.
James Connolly
Groomsman
James and Drew have been friends since first grade little league baseball. Drew got James into playing volleyball, and they played all the same sports growing up. James is also Emily's go to doubles volleyball partner.
Aaron Jessee
Groomsman
Aaron is a mutual friend of Drew and Emily's, and has been a consistent and welcomed 3rd wheel in their relationship. Drew and Aaron talk about the best of the best in volleyball overseas. The two have played many volleyball tournaments together, and are great teammates.
Zack Pindara
Groomsman
Zack and Drew always seemed to be in the same gym talking to the same people, but never each other. One thing led to another and before long they were teammates and friends that had to pepper together or they weren't going to play.
