Wedding Party
Charlotte Myers
Maid of Honor
Charlotte is Emmy's older sister by two years. While she has lived in Ireland since 2019, they make it a point to see each other multiple times a year. Together they love trying new foods on their travels (the burrata chaat from 3 Leaves) and enjoy hikes followed by swimming in the freezing cold Irish Sea. Emmy especially loves Charlotte's eye for good wine. Charlotte lives in Dublin with her partner, Seán, and her cat, Cardi. Ever the runner, she is still running in Ireland for The Crusaders Club! You may find Charlotte doing headstands or "swimming" on a couch at the afterparty!
Talia Goldach
Bridesmaid
Talia and Emmy have been friends since grade school. During the "up for trades" portion of lunch, Talia held the crown jewel - her mom's challah turkey sandwich wrapped in foil. Later in life, Talia and Emmy bonded over trips to music festivals, waiting tables together at Aab India Restaurant, dancing to Money Trees and cheering for the world famous MLB team The Mankees. Ask Talia about: Trader's World, the Mexican Chinese restaurant on Lane, the night train or Emmy's remix of "Follow Me" by Uncle Cracker and "You'll be in my Heart" by Phil Collins. Talia lives in Denver with her husband, AJ.
Joanna Borman Moyler
Officiant and Bridesmaid
Joanna is Emmy's cousin, Jake's, wife. Ethan and Emmy met Joanna back in 2015 (pre-dating status) in a Walmart in Manchester, TN grabbing music festival supplies before Bonnaroo. Joanna has seen Emmy and Ethan grow from friends into something deeper year over year at each music festival, trip to Lakeside and holidays home with family. With their tendency to walk slower than the group, Joanna and Ethan have had plenty of time to bond as future in-laws. Joanna lives in Alexandria, Virginia with her husband, Jake Moyler, and their pup, Julep!
Kelly Jenkins
Bridesmaid
Emmy and Kelly (nickname Schnitz) met during sorority rush freshman year of college because they were the tallest girls in line and kept making eye contact above everyone's heads. They ended up in Pi Phi together and found out they shared a class, Geology. Here is where Emmy cheekily asked Kelly and her roommate, Mia, "How's that working out for you guys?" when they told her they were best friends in high school. Ask Kelly how her role was as the angel at POTH sophomore year. Kelly just had her first child with her husband, Matt! They live in Chicago.
Kate Kile
Bridesmaid
We refer to her as Croghie, not Kate. Croghie and Emmy met freshman year of college in Pi Phi. One might recognize Croghie as being the last person in Brick Street Bar every Saturday night in college...or for her work with the business fraternity. She's a multifaceted woman! Emmy and Crogh love Orca waterslides in Cabo...not to mention broken down water taxis. She very, very recently had her first baby girl! She lives in STL with her husband, Ian. Ask Ian about our speaker...
Megan Maloney
Bridesmaid
Referred to as Modge, Emmy and Modge met right off the bat as freshman. This meeting led to Modge basically moving into Emmy's dorm. It was here where Modge put Cholula on a Reese cup after an afternoon at New Bar. Modge was probably the only person to really use our kitchen in college - go figure. Modge and Emmy love going to see DJs including a 2016 Flume show in Columbus. Modge lives in Chicago with her husband, Marty, and their dog, Judy. For everyone's sake - please do not tempt Modge with the phrase "17 shots"
Gilbert Thomason
Bridesman
Although Emmy prefers the term Brides-manservant, Gilbert will be holding down the fort as the one and only Bridesman! Fitting as Gilbert was Emmy's intern at iHeartMedia when Emmy moved to NYC in 2018. However! Do not mistake, Gilbert is as fabulous and non-intern worthy as they come...just look at his photo. The two still work together at a different company, marking them as colleagues for over seven years. As demonstrated on the bachelorette in Mexico (more specifically, Coco Bongo), Gilbert is the life of the party - you won't miss him on May 31st. Gilbert lives in NYC with his fiancé, Taylor.
Julie Knisley
Bridesmaid
Emmy remembers meeting Ethan's sister, Julie, before they started dating and thinking "she's very funny!" Over the years, Julie has been so welcoming to Emmy- always cracking jokes and topping off wine glasses around the room. Julie and Emmy love being "tata's" to their niece Lennon. On a family trip to St. Martin in 2024, the family got to know Julie's then fiancé, Rob. Together now married, the two live in Hilton Head. Ask Julie about her big winnings at the pool contest in Mexico!
Elena Speake
Bridesmaid
Elena and Emmy met on a roommate app in 2018 as Emmy prepared to move to NYC. Elena was so persistent, calling and texting Emmy consistently, that Emmy's friend and wedding usher, Ryan, told her to not live with Elena. Good thing she didn't listen! Emmy and Elena lived together in NYC for five years (with Ethan as their third roommate for three of those). Emmy and Elena won battles over Ethan on what movie to watch and Ethan taught Elena how to "julienne". Elena lives in NYC, just a few blocks away from Emmy and Ethan!

Julian Ebner

Molly Magnarelli
Usher
Molly and Emmy met freshman year of college and all Emmy recalls is laughing every time Molly said something. Her love for plain cheerios, getting on Emmy's shoulders at parties and her competitive spirit are one of kind. Ask Molly to see photos from when she had the mumps or have her tell you about the push-up contest in Cabo. Having never met a stranger, Molly decided to take her talents from DC to NYC in fall '24 and Emmy could not be happier to have her! Molly is one you will not miss on the dancefloor and if you're smart, gravitate towards her!
Ryan Saunders
Usher
Ryan, nicknamed Ders, and Emmy met during her freshman year of college. During this meeting, Emmy remembers thinking "I want to be friends with him" because of his hilariously absurd personality and overall positivity. Ders was a big reason why Emmy moved to NYC - they needed to be reunited! Although he travels often, they love dining out at new spots in New York and doing dumpling crawls in Chinatown. You'll find him with a martini in hand on the dancefloor. He lives in NYC, still on the same street since day one, in his Nolita territory.
Lennon Jean Knisley
Flower Girl
Lennon is Ethan's and Emmy's niece from Ethan's Brother and Sister-in-Law, Aaron and Bridget. On the wedding day, Lennon will be 2.5 years old. Referred to as "E-T" and "Tata Emmy", Ethan and Emmy are obsessed with Lennon and how hilariously cute, smart and funny she is. Similar to Emmy and Ethan, Lennon loves being surrounded by family. She has quickly become the star of every family holiday, vacation, and celebration. A true professional, this will be her second time in a year being a Flower Girl. She's very in demand and you will find out why. If you want to befriend Lennon, ask about her favorite color (yellow) or start singing Let It Go.
