Danielle and I meet while at college. Of course, we met at
Harry Potter club. I remember college days as being with Danielle, having fun between studying and walking to classes. Our trips to Universal, Halloween Town, Vegas, playing Just Dance so much during the pandemic, and our conversations about Kingdom Hearts are my favorite memories together. It's an honor to have Danielle standing by my side for this big celebration!
Emily Wollebek - Bridesmaid
I was lucky to meet Emily through another friend. We hit it off right away and have stayed close no matter the distance apart. Emily is incredibly funny and committed to all she loves. My favorite memories are the murder mystery dinner she hosted, her birthday at the pumpkin patch, many snowy cabin trips, and going to Victoria together! As she is a good friend of Blake and I's, we're both very excited to celebrate with her by our side.
Melanie Sochatzy - Bridesmaid
I was so happy to meet Melanie during my first year at Western. We were roommates and I'm so grateful for all the energy and light she brought to our little apartment! Now, we spend our weeks dancing, working out, and going to coffee shops to work together. I can always count on her for spontaneity, laughter, and being productive in between all the fun. I'm so happy she'll be there to share this special day with us!
