Emma met Alyssa in 7th grade English class, and they have been best friends ever since! From there, they danced together on the dance team from 7th grade through senior year. Even though Pharmacy School and Surgical Tech School put some distance between them, when they get together again is it like no time was lost! Alyssa is so thrilled to be Emma's Maid of Honor, she started Googling places for a bachelorette party about 10 minutes after Emma asked her to be her MOH ;)

Emma met Hannah in high school through choir. They became friends practicing together and cheering each other on for solo/ensemble. Hannah and Emma have been to many concerts together and a few trips! Emma's favorite trip together was the one they took to Clearwater, Florida......minus the part where the lady hit their rental car :( Their most recent adventure together was the Morgan Wallen concert in Milwaukee where they got rained on before they got inside.

Emma met Emily in 2016 when Emma and Evan started dating. Emily is always down to hang out with Emma and Evan and adventure together, and she'll never turn down a rummage sale ;) She is always there to do DIY projects with Emma and answer all her questions about crafting. Emily is definitely the sister Emma never had!

Emma met Kylie at work when Kylie started as an Operating Room Assistant, and they bonded almost immediately! They share the same taste for music, movies (even though Kylie will say Emma hasn't seen the most important ones lol), and so many other things! Kylie is ALWAYS down for an adventure whether it be a road trip to Chicago or Madison, going out to dinner, or just running errands. Kylie and Emma spend LOTS of time together, especially now that Kylie is going to school to be a Surgical Technologist and Emma helps her study. Their most recent adventure together was running a half marathon and 5K!

Evan and Randy have been friends for a long time! 28 years to be exact! Randy is Evan’s dad and they do almost everything together. From fishing adventures, to golfing, to family bean bag tournaments, you name it, these two are together!

Jake is one of Evan’s good friends! Evan was an usher at Jake’s recent wedding. They also work at the same company, and used to fish together all the time when Jake lived in Oshkosh. He has since moved to Ashland, but no matter the distance, he is always down for an adventure with his fishing buddy when they get together!

Chuck and Evan work together on the same team at Faith Technologies. Evan is actually his Engineering Team Lead, which is where they became so close! Whether talking about work or life, these two have many inside jokes and laughs, but are also serious and work together to get the work done.

Joe is Emily’s husband and Evan’s brother-in-law. They both are big fishermen and always have lots to talk about at family events especially when Randy Evan’s dad gets in the mix too!

Alex and Evan have known each other almost their whole lives! They were neighbors growing up and spent lots of time together just being boys! They are now grown up and starting families of their own, but they are still boys at heart! No matter how much time has passed, they are still able to crack a cold one and talk for hours about life and fishing with each other!

Emma met Amy at work in the OR. She is known to many in our department as "Mama Gocker", and dang does it show! Mama Gocker is the sweetest, toughest, tell-it-like-it-is person! Before Emma switched to nights, they shared many Thursday PM potlucks together at work where "Betty Crocker" Amy whipped up "whatever she had in the pantry" and it was the best thing you've ever had!

Emma met Maci through Merissa (bridesmaid), Maci's mom. They love hanging out together, especially chasing the chickens at Maci's house, or jumping on the trampoline. Emma's favorite memory with Maci (so far) is when Maci Facetimed Emma and told her "I misted you" after she hadn't seen her in a while.
