I’m Brianna and I met Emily last summer after she moved to North Carolina, which is my home state. During our very first conversation, Emily and I got real honest about what motivates us in life and we just immediately connected—like legit started our friendship by crying and hugging it out. We’ve had such a genuine relationship ever since, which I am SO grateful for!

Fun Fact: Zoe is the one who got Dylan & Emily together! Hi yall, I’m Zoe and I currently live in Washington DC. Emily was my amazing fish camp counselor my freshman year of college and Dylan was my SLAM (sophomore year) counselor. I’m so lucky to know them both and I’m so excited to be apart of their special day! ❤️

Howdy everyone! I’m Allison and I live in Maryland. I met Emily in a line during howdy week in 2018 and convinced her she should be a political science major 😈 my fun fact is that I made Emily come to Yell Practice with me and my soon-to-be husband to give off the “this is not a date” vibes. 😂

Hi all! I’m Gianna! I met Emily through my now husband, Nathaniel. Their families had been friends since Emily was little. I’m still down here in Texas and can’t wait to see y’all! So excited for this special day! ❤️

Howdy all! My name is London and I had the pleasure of meeting Miss. Emily freshman year of college studying and crying over Bio 101. Little did we know the tears were the spark of becoming best friends. I am over the 🌙 moon excited to see one of my best friends🪄 dream come true. Congratulations 🍾

Hey y’all! My name is Mariah and I met Dylan in 2nd grade and have basically been the sister he never asked for ever since. I am so happy that Dylan found Emily and excited to see what the year brings!

Hey y’all! I’m Kendall De La Riva, a bartender in Raleigh, NC. I’ve been friends with Dylan since we were kids in high school, and meeting Emily through him has been an absolute treasure. If you wanna know some funny high school stories about Dylan: I’m your girl (ask me about the AP Bio scavenger hunt😈)! I can’t wait to celebrate you two’s big day and to dance the night away!🤍

Dylan's grandma (Deanna Schultz), will be serving in Dylan and Emily's wedding as one of the two "flower grandmas". She was born and raised in Detroit, MI where she still resides. Even though two of her three children (Dylan's mom, Anita and his Uncle Michael) moved out of state, the family always gathers in Michigan for Christmas at Dylan's Uncle Joe's house where they continue to make traditional Polish recipes that have been passed down from Dylan's great-grandparents. As the only grandchild, Dylan enjoyed gathering with his parents, grandma and uncles at his "Uncle Mikey's" house in Las Vegas where summer vacations usually kicked off after the last day of school. These adventures included visiting many of the same national parks out west that his grandma and "pop-pop" had taken Dylan's mom and uncles to as children. We are honored to have Dylan's grandma participating in Dylan and Emily's wedding.

Emily's Nana will be serving in the wedding party as one of two "Flower Grandmas." She has always been proud of her Italian heritage and has passed that pride down to each of her family members, especially Emily! One of her favorite foods are the *lightly cooked* potato mojos from Ruffalo's. Nana lives in Kenosha, Wisconsin where she raised her three children; Alfredo Greco Jr. (Emily's Dad), Chris Brunner, and Linda McDermott (Emily's Aunts) alongside her late husband Alfredo Greco (Emily's Papa). She is known for her sense of humor & her big heart. She is also the beloved grandmother of six grandchildren: Emily Greco, Allison Klingensmith, Johnny Brunner, Channa Phillips, Kristoffer McDermott, and Kyle McDermott. Last but not least, she is the great-grandmother of two great-grandsons: Micah Klingensmith & Henry McDermott. Emily's late Papa Greco was an extraordinarily talented tailor & carpenter. When Emily's two cousins, Allison & Channah, got married back in the summer of 2018, Papa made them both garter for theirs big days. He surprised Emily with a handmade garter as well, because even though she wasn't dating anyone at the time, he knew that someday she'd find the love of her life and he wanted to make sure a piece of him would be with her on her Wedding day just in case he didn't live to see her get married himself. Papa Greco passed away back in 2020 from Covid-19, but Emily has kept the garter with her since the day she was gifted it. It is one of her dearest possessions and she can't wait for the chance to finally wear such a beautiful reminder of her Papa's love.

Dylan's granny (Diana Bourbeau) is the ring bearer in the wedding which is so appropriate since Emily's engagement ring was passed down from Granny's grandma. Granny's mother passed away in September 2023 which resulted in Granny receiving her grandmother's ring and passing it down to Dylan, just in time for his proposal to Emily in October. Zelda wore this ring for 60 years and had 6 children, a very positive omen for a long and happy marriage between Dylan and Emily. One of Dylan's favorite memories is whenever we went home to Michigan, Granny had his cookie tin filled with sugar cookies (covered in sprinkles), which he would promptly hide from everyone else! It turned out this tradition of baking sugar cookies for the grandchildren started with Zelda cooking these for Granny, another sure sign this ring was meant for Dylan and Emily. We are very excited to have Granny participating in Dylan and Emily's wedding.

Hello, my name is Corbin Rednour. I met Dylan back in the sixth grade and have had the privilege of being friends with him ever since. Things started out as just school yard friends but where we really hit it off was in high school where we learned we had a mutual love for board games and things were all up hill from there. Spending many Saturdays playing games with more than a little bit of competitiveness coming out at times. But over the course of the long days I got to grow to be the best of friends with Dylan.

Hi, I am Tyler Kast! During our freshman year at Texas A&M I was lucky enough to be paired up with Dylan as roommates. We lived together for 2 years both on campus and off campus and continued being brothers when I moved out during Covid. One of the most memorable experiences we shared was volunteering in Nepal and trekking through the western Himalayas. On this trip we discovered our favorite place in the world, Dragons club.

Hi, I am Kieran Forbes. Dylan and I met in 6th grade and would avoid playing basketball in gym class by walking around and talking about Batman. Eventually I sent him a bunch of memes and he started inviting me to his house to play board games that I still don't understand even after playing them 5+ times. Now Dylan is one of my best friends and our main activity is still playing board games. Congrats on getting married Dylan!

Howdy, I am Grayson Allen, and I first met Dylan while being a member of SLAM, our sophomore year at Texas A&M. After that year, not only were we SLAM counselors together but we made the questionable decision to become roommates! Luckily it panned out and we lived together for 2 years (along with Jacob for a year) and got to be apart of many highs together: Graduations, Aggie Rings, Emily’s first time coming to the house for dinner, Pixie getting mad at me for coming into my own home! I am so happy and honored to know these two and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them!

Hi, I am Jake Nelson and I’ve known Dylan since elementary school. We were in the same 5th grade class and continued to have many classes together all throughout middle and high school. Aside from school, we’ve celebrated many birthdays through the years, participated in community theater together, and attended most Marvel movie premieres.

Hi I am Kyle and I know D- daddy through our sophomore leadership organization SLAM. Dylan became one of my closest friend but it didn’t always start out that way. Like any love story it started out in a booth at Fudruckers. We made small talk here and there and I thought he was funny. I didn’t get to know the real Dylan until our George Bush Library trip as counselors. It was there that I was exposed to the real Dylan and found out we had the same sense of humor which further strengthened our bond. After that I discovered he was on the right side of the Layne’s vs canes controversy (Layne’s of course) and from there we would take trips to laynes whenever our hearts desired. Then I discovered another piece to the puzzle when he said he also liked halo and that he had a x box, now at this point I knew it was true love. We would then plan out our famous halo and wine nights which would always start off with Layne’s of course then we would spend the entire night drinking and playing halo together. Dylan was one of the main reasons I had so much fun in SLAM. He made my experience worth all of the drama! Fast forward to this past June where he was standing with me during one of the most important days of my life! Now I can’t wait to do the same!

Hi, I am Colin Frost! Dylan and I knew each other before either of us could walk or probably talk for that matter. We were neighbors to start as well, as I could venture through my backyard and get to his family’s pool. Since childhood we nearly celebrated every big occasion together, birthdays, 4th of July’s, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas you name it! As kids, we both enjoyed a relaxing pool day with the dogs on a hot summer day, a movie matinee or having both our families get together for a dinner and a board game on the weekend.

Hi, I’m Jacob Tolbert and I was Dylan’s college roommate and his college best friend. He was the first friend I made through an organization we were both in called SLAM and I would say neither of our college lives were the same since. I can’t believe it already has been a few years since we chugged pitchers of beer in our backyard or participated in chaotic DND games in our living room. I am very proud of Dylan and who he has become. I’m honored to be up there with Dylan watching him and Emily take this enormous step in life. Congrats!

Hey everybody! I’m Kevin and I met Dylan and Emily through my girlfriend, Robyn, one of the bridesmaids, last year when we got invited over Dylan’s for a game night and wine slushees! The slushees were amazing and I got the chance to play a few of the many many board games they had. I got the chance to hang out with Dylan and Emily a few times since and it’s always been a blast! So happy for you two to have the best day ever!

Hi, my name is Chris. No, I did not forget my name tag. If you know, you know. I know Emily through being an amusement theme park worker's child. Our parents worked in the industry and as kids, being in that world, we grew close throughout the years. We often visited Disney, Six Flags, Universal Studios, and even small obscure parks. Our families grew so close that we often saw each other during major holidays - and not casually...but actually prepping/hanging/cleaning. If you've seen Monsters Inc. you'd know that Emily and I were destined to be friends (ask me about it). I'm so happy to see my friend getting married and excited to get to know Dylan!
