Emily and Clara met their freshman year of college after realizing they not only had almost the exact same schedule, but also lived just down the hall from each other. Through their time in college they became best friends and have stayed close ever since.

Abby and Clara became instant friends through Bear Catholic and their freshman Bear Awakening retreat. Over the years their friendship has continued to grow. Though they don't get together as much anymore they always have a blast and laugh just as much as they did when they were in college.

Londy and Ya'Myia are Clara's younger sisters. They love to spend time just being around each other. One of their favorite traditions is decorating Clara's apartment for Christmas and having a girls night (hopefully this continues after Clara gets married)!

Michael and Geoff met back in middle school. They both had a shared interest in the outdoors. As they got older they liked to go fishing, camping, hunting, and on survival trips together. They were roommates for years until Michael met the love of his life and moved states. They still make time to talk, do bible studies together, and see each other a few times a year and always laugh and have a blast just like the old days.

Cody is Geoff's older brother. They enjoy laughing at stupid jokes they make and are always willing to help each other out. They always have a blast playing Xbox together, just as when they were kids. Even though they are grown up now, they still enjoy hanging out, playing video games, and laughing until they cry.

Will, Evan, and Jeremy are Clara's brothers. They complete our wedding party, and we are so lucky and blessed to have them with us on our special day!
