Tabitha is Emily's best friend of many, many, many years. They started off as enemies when Tabitha founded the "Pink Shirt Club" in elementary school in which Emily was not invited to join. Following their rivalry, they became best friends and have been inseparable ever since. Tabitha is a special education teacher at Mackinac Trail Middle School. She obtained a Bachelor's degree in elementary special education from Grand Valley State University and a Master's degree in Autism Services from Grand Canyon University.

Nick and Stephen have been best friends since childhood. After high school, Nick went on to pursue a career as a Lineman. He now works for Point. Nick bought a house in Six Lakes, Michigan in 2022 where he still resides and loves the area. You can typically find Nick at the Back Forty if you're ever looking for him. :)

Candace was Emily's dance teacher turned best friend. She and Emily bonded over many trips to New York City and beyond. She became a big sister throughout the years and she taught Emily all of the curse words she knows! ;) Candace continues to teach dance and inspire girls of all ages. She is "Mom" to Max and Everly.

Katy and Emily became friends when Emily joined the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority. They became fast friends, sharing a love for makeup and boys. Katy introduced Emily to cabernet sauvignon, which has become her favorite wine! Katy obtained a Bachelors degree in Spanish and mathematics from Grand Valley State University. She now resides in Arizona with her son, Buster.

Drew and Stephen became friends by way of Dale. Stephen calls Drew every day on his way to and from work, and they catch up on the latest gossip. Drew is an all around good time so we know he will bring the fun (and surprise) to our wedding party. Drew resides in Lake City, Michigan with his daughters and son. He works for Ritesma Construction as a Foreman. You will be able to spot him easily, because he will be the tallest person in every room he enters.

Natalie and Emily were brought together by the Miss America Organization. They became Miss Huron Shores and Miss Huron Shores Outstanding Teen in 2016.

Natalie graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelors degree, and now attends Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she is pursuing her Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine.

Tommy and Stephen go way back. Their favorite pass-time is making fun of each other. Tommy also loves to make fun of Emily for having "yellow feet" (I do not have yellow feet.) Tommy resides in Grand Haven, Michigan and works for Wolfline Electric as a Lineman. One thing about Tommy, you never know what he's going to do next.

Katie and Emily became friends when Emily joined the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority. They bonded over a shared love of makeup and their uncanny resemblance to one another. They have remained friends throughout the years, and Katie always brings party. She is hilarious, but she will never laugh at your jokes. Katie graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelors degree in marketing and now works for Alpine IQ as a marketing operations lead.

Michael, aka, Frankie and Stephen became friends when Stephen moved to Webberville, MI. I (Emily) imagine they never let each other make a bad decision on their own when they were young. The stories they tell would make their mothers cringe. Frankie is a quiet kid, but tells the best stories of his job. He works at the Livingston County Sheriffs Office in the jail. He resides in Okemos, Michigan with his children (cats.)
