Victoria “V”

How do you know Emma?“Emma and I met freshman year at Auburn! She offered to give me a ride home from Wesley, and the rest is history.”What is the coolest thing about Emma?“The coolest thing about Emma is how deeply she loves the people in her life. She would do anything for the people she loves, no questions asked, whenever they need it.”What is the weirdest thing about Emma?“The weirdest thing about Emma is that she told me that she could play the harmonica freshman year and kept the lie up for 4 years.”

Kate

How do you know Emma?"Emma is my longest friend! Her grandparents are my neighbors, and we grew up together hanging out every summer and whenever she came down to visit Tallahassee!"What is the coolest thing about Emma?"The coolest thing about Emma is how passionate she is about the things she cares about! It doesn't matter if it's something small like memorizing all the words to The Sound of Music or something impressive like pursuing her master's degree. Emma approaches all of her passions with focus and enthusiasm!"What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"The weirdest thing about Emma is for the first 14 years of her life, she only ate 4 foods. My family still lovingly calls her 'Cheez-It' because when she'd come down to visit with us, the only snack she would eat in our house was Cheez-Its!"

Kassid!

How do you know Emma?"I grew up with Emma -- meeting her in first grade, growing closer in middle school, and even closer in high school! I've been blessed to call her a close friend ever since :)"What is the coolest thing about Emma?"The coolest thing about Emma is her dedication. She is extremely dedicated to her friends, her family, her faith, her work, TV shows, movies, and now her soon to be husband!"What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"The weirdest thing about Emma is her hatred for Dan Scott from One Tree Hill. Don't get this girl started on him and people named Dan, thanks to him. He will most definitely not get an invite to the wedding."

Calley

How do you know Emma?"Emma was lucky enough to stumble into my awesome brother's life who I happen to have known from birth. So naturally, we met shortly after they did."What is the coolest thing about Emma?"Emma loves Disney about as much as Jess and I do, so I can't wait for all our vacations there together."What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"Emma is quite detailed with storytelling. It takes a long time to tell about a trip to Target or something lol."

Katy

How do you know Emma?"I know Emma from the Auburn Wesley Foundation and bonding together during the slow summer months about friends, relationships, and our mutual love for movie musicals and Starbucks cake pops."What is the coolest thing about Emma?"The coolest thing about Emma is her unparalleled ability to multitask. She is able to finish a TV series in a week, while also practicing calligraphy, while also reading through the Bible, while also doing homework, while also analyzing the current lives of past Disney Channel stars."What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"The weirdest thing about Emma? To quote a Tom Hanks movie (one of Emma's favorite actors), 'How long is your program?' What stands out the most is how she can be so incredibly particular about her decorations and furniture layout but does not seem to be at all bothered by the bright blue painters tape she uses for every occasion despite how it might clash."

Morgan

How do you know Emma?"I know Emma from our mothers both working in Angel Workshop at Riverchase. We were in the same group, and we've been inseparable ever since... at least that's how the story goes! The moment I remember knowing Emma originate in JAM Girls Bible Study when I always had someone to sit by and giggle with!"What is the coolest thing about Emma?"The coolest thing about Emma is no secret -- she remembers EVERYTHING down to the tiniest detail!"What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"The weirdest thing about Emma is that she has a vendetta against a Mii character. (Mustache Helen will never know peace.)"

Cassidy

How do you know Emma?"I know Emma through a mutual bestie who also happens to be my brother: Caden."What is the coolest thing about Emma?"Emma is incredible at having good conversation with anyone she meets. Her storytelling and random-information-sharing are engaging to listen to, and she strikes a great balance by asking good questions and listening well."What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"Emma really likes to e-nun-ci-ate her words. I guess that's partly what makes her interesting to listen to, though!"

Claire

How do you know Emma?"Emma and I met back in middle school when we both skipped the class field trip to Moundville. It was by far the best decision we ever made in middle school. We got to spend all of our high school days together and live together our first 2 years at Auburn. Emma is a friend I've been thankful to know through so many seasons of life!"What is the coolest thing about Emma?"If you've ever met Emma you'll already know this, but the coolest thing about her is her ability to bring others in and immediately make them feel known and loved! She is the most loyal friend to everyone she loves."What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"The weirdest thing about Emma is that she can distinguish between different brands of water in an eyes-closed taste test."

Lily

How do you know Emma?“Emma and I became super close in Ms. Smith’s 5th grade class, though our families were connected before then! We did all the childhood best friend things: sleepovers, trips, secret code words, and inside jokes.”What is the coolest thing about Emma?“The coolest thing about Emma is that she’s been who the Lord has called her to be from the first day I remember knowing her. Her heart for others is a true reflection of Jesus, and she’ll never waiver from her desire to see people thrive.”What is the weirdest thing about Emma?“The weirdest thing about Emma is that she prefers no ice in her water, which I get sometimes, but it’s lukewarm or bust for her.”

Zelda

How do you know Emma?"Our dads have been best friends since first grade, and their friendship translated directly into ours. We have known each other literally since Emma was born (I'm 11 months older) and have been like family ever since! We even used to say we were cousins for the longest time!"What is the coolest thing about Emma?"It's definitely her enthusiasm! Whether it's her friends, family, movie or TV franchises, her faith, you name it. She shows unparalleled enthusiasm that would make anyone excited to share in her joy; it's infectious!"What is the weirdest thing about Emma?"She remembers EVERYTHING. That one friend that was at my 7th birthday party? An old Disney Channel movie from 2008? A funny party game answer from 6 years ago? She remembers it all. I swear she has the strangest ability to bring up memories from the furthest recesses of my brain; it's uncanny."
