Our Wedding

It all began when Adam received a photo of Emma at the pickleball courts thinking his co-workers were playing a prank on him because he couldn't believe that this girl was real (obviously blown away by how incredibly beautiful she was). Come to find out, Emma's best friend's dad was on the other side of the text- which also raised suspicion. However against his disbelief he decided to text her (FINALLY after a few long weeks of waiting). Emma had her reservations too, she was being set up with someone named Adam Smith, let's be real. Fast forward a few weeks of texting, they finally went on their first date, which went - well they're getting married so you know how! After a few dates, hiking, pickle balling, and getting to know each other, Adam was headed to Salt Lake City for the next six months and Emma was unsure if this was just a fling or if they were going to make this thing work. Adam then proceeded to tell her that they were in fact boyfriend and girlfriend and he didn't think he needed to ask her that, which was a huge relief because Emma was not ready to let go of this man that easy. While Adam was in Salt Lake, Emma would fly out and visit for a few days at a time, usually a month apart and they would develop their relationship off of countless hours of FaceTime and phone calls, what better way to fall in love? Once baseball season was over that year, Adam moved back to Arizona and their relationship continued to grow stronger over the next couple of years. Moving in together, grabbing a couple extra companions, going on trips together, and becoming inseparable. Adam realized that he couldn't possibly live without Emma so he planned the most beautiful engagement and executed it (almost) flawlessly. Obviously Emma said yes immediately! And that brings us to today, and will bring us to their wedding, and through to the rest of their lives, happily ever after.

Our Story

Photos

Ali and Emma became best friends the very first day of beauty school when they were in the same starting class headed to a hair-show a few weeks later, Ali pointed out Emma and asked to be her roommate, with much relief Emma said yes as she was eyeballing her too because she seemed like such a cool chick! They have been inseparable ever since!! Ali is the most funny, kind, selfless, sun beaming person, and she makes you feel so warm to be around!!

Marietta and Emma became best friends in 6th grade when Emma got sent to the back of Mrs. Braude's science class for talking, where Marietta was already sitting! Through thick and thin they have always managed to stand by each other and always remain the best of friends!! Marietta is the real life barbie princess you won't believe is real life because of how genuine and caring she is!

Marietta Perkins

Isabella and Emma became best friends when they went to cheer camp in seventh grade together. The two middle schools in the district had merged together at the time and they both ended up on the same cheer team together because of it. They continued their friendship through high school and then even through (Isabella's) college and now where she resides in Washington DC, their friendship has always been insanely strong even with the crazy distance between the two of them! Isabella is the funniest, most compassionate person in the world!

Isabella Bingaman

Allie and Emma have been friends since they were two years old, they originally met through horse lessons that Allie's mom taught at the time! They have been through literally every stage of life together and have always remained so close and each others shoulders to cry on! Allie is the most reliable human you'll ever meet!

Maddie and Emma became friends (you guessed it) in middle school where they had several classes together. Then Maddie had moved away and came back, where they got even closer in high school and went on to be roommates in college and have been besties ever since! Maddie is a ray of sunshine and probably the sweetest most pure soul you'll ever meet!

Maddie Dingus

Sandi and Emma were in the same friend group throughout high school but really became super close after graduation.
