Wedding Party
Tessa Hultin
Maid of Honor
With a shared love of dogs, musical theater, and thrift shopping, it’s no wonder that Tessa and Emily seem more like best friends than sisters! In her free time you can usually find her perfecting her aerial silk hammock skills. Tessa is also known for her unique ability to beat Ryan in most board or card games and she is sure to remind him of this whenever given the chance.
Brian Giraud
Best Man
Started with throwing rocks at Ryan on the playground to becoming best buds a day later. Brian even housed Ryan when he had no place to live. Still to this day Ryan is his favorite roommate (suck it Kelsi). Ask Brian about the time Ryan beat him in basketball.
Kate Meiners
Bridesmaid
Going on nearly 2 decades of friendship, Kate is Emily’s longest and still one of her closest friends! The self proclaimed “mother hen” of most situations, you can always count on Kate to be a listening ear and give sound advice. The only thing that runs deeper than her love for chocolate is her love for Jesus! Emily has missed Kate dearly after her move to Washington DC in 2021 and can’t wait to have her by her side on such an important day!
Brittany Jones
Best Woman
Oh dear. If you run into Brittany just start dancing and turn the other way. Unless you want to meet someone way too friendly and will probably shart near you and walk away. Ryan and Brittany share a very weird friendship that Emily just ignores half the time. Ask Brittany about why she sharts all the time!
Mikayla Fahning
Bridesmaid
Emily and Mikayla go all the way back to 2nd grade Sunday school and have shared so many amazing memories since then! Whether it’s a spontaneous trip to California or a Monday night spent watching trash reality TV, these two friends are guaranteed to have fun no matter what they are doing! Emily was thrilled to have been a bridesmaid in Mikayla’s recent wedding and is so excited that she will be able to do the same for her come November!
Mike Swartz
Groomsman
Not much say here, still don't know why we are friends but it works. He might not be the best roommate but he also has the some bad taste in dogs. Mike doesn't have kids so he has the most time to hang with Ryan. Ask Mike about how much he loves being a teacher!
Megan Klair
Bridesmaid
Megan is one of those people that when you meet her, you feel like you’ve known her for your entire life! Emily and Megan first connected through their college cross country and track team. Their friendship was then solidified through long runs (many of which they got lost on), early morning workouts, and long bus trips to meets. The two proceeded to room together for the remainder of their college years and have remained close ever since then!
Greg Benzing
Groomsman
This guy here is the grandpa of the group. He is always grounded and never gets mad at anything. Even when his kids start making fun of him when he is golfing. Ask Greg about his brand-new pergola.
