Wedding Day

Alan and Emma's love story began in the digital world and quickly blossomed into a real-life romance. Alan, with his rugged charm as a boot-wearing, hunting and fishing enthusiast, found his perfect match in Emma, an Adidas-wearing, Taylor Swift-loving, indoorsy type. Despite their different interests, they discovered a shared passion for life and love. They truly are a match made in heaven, and now they are set to join as one. We are delighted to have you with us to celebrate this special day.

ALL BECAUSE TWO PEOPLE SWIPED RIGHT!

Details

Emma met Maddie before attending Salisbury University, thanks to their moms, Chris and Steff, who had worked together for years. When it was time for Emma to transfer to a university, Chris knew exactly who to reach out to. Emma ended up attending SU, where she and Maddie became roommates for their final two years of college.

During that time, they developed a strong friendship, and Maddie played a significant role in Alan and Emma's relationship, especially when it came to preparing for their first date. Given their close bond, Emma immediately knew that Maddie would be her Maid of Honor, and she couldn’t be happier to have her by her side on this special day.

Zach and Alan go way back—Zach's mom was Alan’s daycare provider when he was growing up, and from those early days, they’ve been friends ever since. Over the years, Zach has become like family, always there with his quick wit, unwavering support, and the kind of friendship that stands the test of time. Alan couldn’t imagine this day without him by his side, and we’re so grateful to have him as our best man!

Katie and Emma met during a travel softball tryout in high school, and they connected instantly. Despite going to different schools, they forged a close friendship, strengthened by long practices, weekend tournaments, and road trips that gave them countless memories. Over the years, they made a point to stay in each other’s lives. Katie became more than just a friend to Emma—she was a confidant, teammate, and practically family. When it came time for Emma to say “I do,” there was no question that Katie would be right by her side, sharing in one of the most meaningful days of her life and creating yet another unforgettable memory together.

Riley is Emma’s (not so) little brother, and an easy choice as a groomsman. With his quick wit and charming personality, we knew he had to be part of the celebration. While Emma might have thought differently when they were kids—especially during Riley’s more “annoying little brother” moments—she wouldn’t have it any other way now. Having him by her side on this special day is a perfect fit for the fun and unforgettable memories they’re sure to create together.

Riley Smith

Reese is Alan’s sister, making her a natural and perfect choice as one of Emma’s bridesmaids. From spirited pumpkin carving competitions to lively family dinners, Reese has been part of countless fun memories, each filled with laughter. With their shared sense of humor and easy connection, Emma couldn’t be more thrilled to soon call Reese a sister. Having her by her side on this special day is just one more joy in a friendship that already feels like family.

Reese Scott

Evan is Alan’s sister’s boyfriend, but their first meeting wasn’t exactly traditional. Since Evan was too nervous to come to the house, Alan had to track him down at his workplace just to introduce himself. After a while, they formed a close bond, and Alan came to appreciate Evan not only as a friend but also for the way he cares for his sister. Now, there’s no question—Evan belongs by his side as a groomsman on this special day.

Emma and Alexis have known each other for years, their friendship practically destined with their moms, Chris and Stacie, having been close friends long before they were. To Emma, Alexis is more than a friend—she’s the little sister she always wanted. When it came time to plan the wedding and choose the bridal party, Alexis was an easy and heartfelt choice. Emma couldn’t imagine getting married without her “little sister” by her side, sharing in the joy and excitement of such a meaningful day.

Alexis Walck

Tyler is Maddie’s fiancé and first met Alan when he started dating Emma. Since Maddie and Emma were college roommates, it was only a matter of time before their paths crossed. Even after Maddie and Emma graduated, the four of them remained close, building a strong friendship over the years. Alan has come to think of Tyler as a close and good friend, and there’s no way he could imagine his wedding day without him standing by his side as a groomsman.

Tyler Elzey

Ally is Emma’s cousin, but more than that, she’s one of her closest friends. Their bond began early on, with countless memories made during family trips to the campground in Gettysburg, where they spent summer nights with their grandparents, exploring, laughing, and getting into just the right amount of trouble. They shared endless fun at fire department carnivals, cheering each other on through every ride and game. Through all of life’s stages, they’ve stayed close, making it impossible for Emma to imagine this special day without Ally by her side. Having her as a bridesmaid means celebrating with not only family but also one of her truest friends, as they create yet another unforgettable chapter together.

Matt and Alan first met as teenagers while working at Baja just outside Ocean City, MD. Initially, they didn’t exactly hit it off, but over time, their mutual experiences on the job turned into a strong friendship. From long summer shifts to countless adventures outside of work, their bond grew, and they’ve been great friends ever since. Now, Alan couldn’t imagine his wedding day without Matt standing by his side as a groomsman.
