Our Wedding

If you know Noah and Emily, you know they are two of the busiest people ever. Noah works as a Sherriff's Deputy, is part of the S.E.R.T. team, coaches a travel soccer team, and plays on a professional soccer league. Emily is finishing up her Masters degree, works as a Career Coach, volunteers as a class advisor and works part time with a non-profit.﻿

Before

Noah and Emily first met in 2021. Noah caught Emily's eye in everyone's favorite Salisbury bar, Hoppers. Emily overheard a conversation that was being had between Noah and his bestfriend, JT. The two were attempting to find a girl to join their co-ed soccer team. Emily quickly interrupted the conversation and said: "Oh, I can play on your soccer team". Anyone who was around Emily in 2021 knew she had a huge shoulder sling on during this time and anyone who has ever met Emily knows she absolutely does not know how to play soccer... and anyone who knows Noah, knows he did not pick up on the subtle flirting. He was excited to have found a girl to play on his team that was SOOO good she could play with a dislocated shoulder! Fortunately, Noah thought this was was hilarious and the rest is history.

The Beginning

During their years together, Noah and Emily have spent their time traveling, hosting game nights, creating a home together and of course adopting their two babies, Ryker and Bean! One of their favorite memories is riding a scooter down the coast of St. John in the Virgin Islands. Noah proposed to Emily on September 30th, 2023, in a lavender field. He planned an intimate celebration in their home to follow. Needless to say, Emily said yes! We can't wait to celebrate January 19th with all of you, and establish this date as our "forever anniversary."

Ever Since...

Our bridal party will be wearing light blue &amp; navy blue!﻿

From hanging around the streets of Barrington Ridge to becoming lifelong confidantes, Olivia and the bride have shared an unbreakable bond since their childhood days as neighbors. What began with mischief and endless giggles quickly evolved into crashing each other's family events, forming a loving friendship that became their chosen family. 

Through every stage of life, they've been inseparable—whether it was collaborating on school projects, sharing earbuds on the bus, celebrating milestones with trips to NYC and combined graduation parties, or simply being each other's unwavering support. They have spent the past 16 years creating memories that solidified their bond.

Their friendship thrives on constant laughter, shared adventures that sometimes landed them in trouble, and a deep understanding that comes from growing up side by side.

To the groom, Max isn't just his best friend; he's practically family. From childhood antics that got them into trouble to playing every sport under the sun, they've shared countless adventures and memories.
Their bond deepened even further when Max became roommates with the bride and groom in their first apartment. Sharing living space solidified their friendship as they navigated early adulthood together, from late-night pizza runs, to deciding who would clean the kitchen.
Both pursuing careers in law enforcement, the two always have each other's backs whether on or off-duty. Their families have celebrated holidays, milestones, and everyday moments together, creating a bond that's as strong as any blood relation. Known for their shared love of sports, good-natured mischief, and a loyalty that's unwavering, Max has been a pillar of support and laughter in the groom's life.

Riley isn't just the groom's sister—she's also a cherished friend to the bride, who has brought a unique blend of sisterly love and best friend camaraderie to her life. Their bond has grown from exchanging secrets and giggles to  sharing life advice, deepening into a profound connection akin to sisters.

Always up for a good time and a lively gossip session about the groom (only the positive stuff, of course!), Riley has been a constant source of laughter and unwavering support for the bride. Their friendship has been filled with fun times and family adventures and it always feels like a lifetime of memories packed into every moment they spend together.

Despite a nine-year age gap, Gunnar and the groom have forged a bond that defies mere brother-in-law status. From the early days of kicking a soccer ball around to now, where Gunnar and the groom hang out weekly, their shared love for soccer (and Emily!) has been a cornerstone of their relationship. Beyond sports, they bond over fishing, video games, playing poker, and enjoying each other's company as if they've been lifelong buddies. 

Gunnar considers the groom not just a brother-in-law but a mentor and a close friend. Their relationship is built on mutual respect, laughter, and a deep understanding that transcends family ties.

Always up for any adventure, Kelcie has been by the bride's side through thick and thin, making every milestone more memorable.

Their journey from childhood classmates to best friends has been marked by countless inside jokes, late-night talks, and a steadfast support that transcends distance and time. Whether they're exploring new places, dancing like no one's watching, or simply enjoying each other's company, Kelcie brings a contagious energy and unwavering loyalty to every moment.

Since their high school days, JT and the groom have been the best of friends.

Known for his infectious humor, JT has always been the life of the party, effortlessly lightening the mood with his jokes and antics. He has a natural talent for making anyone laugh without even trying, bringing joy to every gathering they attend together. Beyond the laughs, JT has shown an endless amount of support for the groom, cheering him on through life's successes and offering a comforting presence during challenges. Whether reminiscing about their glory days on the soccer field or celebrating each other's milestones, JT has always been there.

Bonding over shared experiences of navigating the bride and maid of honor's antics with good humor, Jesse quickly became an integral part of the groom's life. 

What began as a connection through their respective partners has blossomed into a deep and genuine friendship. They've discovered common interests in gaming, golfing, and spending weekends together.

Their bond has grown stronger with each passing day, and they now find themselves exchanging more texts than the bride and maid of honor! Together, they've merged into a friend group that feels more like family, creating lasting memories and sharing in each other's triumphs and challenges.

Things to Do

Registry

Personally, I always struggle with knowing exactly what to wear, so here is a mood board to help you get the vibe of the Wedding night!!! It's formal, but we will be by the ocean so lighter, floral, beachy formal dresses are perfect. We will be outside for the full event but not on the sand for the ceremony or the reception, so any shoe will do. For the men, please wear suits! :) Please avoid white and ivories.
