Emily & Christopher
Wedding Party
Christie Cooper
Maid of Honor
Emily and Christie have been best friends since the 5th grade at St. Ambrose Elementary School. They have been through a lot together, from snow boarding disasters to elementary school dances. Christie is the ying to Emily's yang, her roller coaster buddy, and sister for all intents and purposes. Christie eventually gave her seal of approval to Christo, despite the fact that he stole her parking spot in front of the Dean's house. Christie is a physical therapist and a Virginia Tech alumni. She is the best friend a girl could ask for and Emily is very thankful for her help in planning this wedding.
Rebecca Cramer
Bridesmaid
Becca and Emily were college roommates and inseparable at East Carolina University. It was not unusual to find a blanket fort in their dorm room, or people over for movie night. They were even known to have coordinated Halloween costumes. Becca was there for the beginning of Emily and Christo's relationship, the late night studying and the midnight snack runs to Sheetz or Cook Out.
Callie Moore
Bridesmaid
Callie is Christopher’s older sister. She is currently teaching history, English, and religion at a Catholic Middle School in North Carolina. She loves anything that involves crafting and planning, and the color pink. Callie always wanted to make sure that Christopher grew up to be a proper gentleman, so she made sure to help teach him proper manners, how to straighten his posture, and how to cook macaroni and cheese. She also educated Christopher on all things prince and princess so that he could find his princess (Emily) and be her Prince Charming. Callie is very excited for Emily and Christopher and their happily ever after.
Haylie Moore
Bridesmaid
Haylie is Christopher’s younger sister. She is currently a biomedical engineer living in Connecticut. She enjoys swimming and helping those in need. As children, Haylie and Christopher were commonly mistaken for twins (as they are only 18 months apart) and spent much of their time together playing on the farm. Haylie cannot wait to be a part of the bridal party for Emily and Christopher’s wedding.
Cameron Smith
Best Man
Cameron is Christopher's childhood cross-the-hayfield-neighbor. He currently works with aerospace engineering software and recently moved to Seattle, Washington. He enjoys reading, history, jujitsu, swing dancing, and teaching youth basketball. As kids, Christopher and Cameron explored the woods around the Moores' home defeating imaginary foes, trading tips on Lego spaceship construction, and playing wallball in-between Denton Pool swimming events. Although Cameron is a little older, Christopher taught him many important life lessons that have served him well over the past twenty years. Including: how to safely launch firecrackers underwater, how to properly execute a jump spinning kick, and what truly goes into being a great friend.
Benjamin Dean
Groomsman
Ben is Emily's younger brother, a graduate of Virginia Tech and now an Ensign in the United States Navy. Ben enjoys surfing, driving his Jeep and shooting Emily's past boyfriends with his airsoft sniper rifle. His other hobbies include working out, growing his mustache, and playing in the road with cars. Ben is very excited about the wedding and the open bar!
Jon Morgan Kresken
Groomsman
Jon Morgan is one of Christo's cousins. He ran six marathons for metastatic breast cancer in 2017 in honor of his mom's battle. He later made a docu-film about his experience called "Marathons for Mom". He is currently working in digital media and marketing in New York City. According to Facebook and other reliable sources, his hobbies include music, running and kickstarting a non-profit for Metastatic Breast Cancer.
Albert Kresken
Groomsman
Albert is Christo's cousin and is currently traveling around the country in a decked out van. He has been documenting his nomadic lifestyle on Instagram with beautiful photos from his adventures. He has visited Alaska (possibly wrestled some bears), Yellowstone Park, the Golden Gate Bridge and even traversed the Grand Canyon ... however, we are hopeful he and his van will be back in time for the wedding!
