Our Story

Kara and Emily met in college at Ball State University and their friendship formed (and nearly ended) on a drive home from Indianapolis in 2014 when Emily nearly kicked Kara out of the car because she was hangry. Despite the hanger, their friendship blossomed and is still going strong, fueled by long phone calls and four-hour drives between Indiana and Michigan.

Emily and Krista have been friends since college, although most people would assume they’re sisters. Krista can’t remember how they met, but she’s very grateful they did! Their friendship really solidified when they both became members of the Dead Dad Club. Now they talk almost every day, whether it’s just an update about life or to laugh at a dead dad joke on the internet

Growler is thrilled (and anxious) to be a part of Mom and Dad's wedding! He's not sure if he will make it down the aisle, but he can't wait to spend time with his pawrents on their special day!

Graham can't wait for Mom and Dad's big day! He already has his outfit picked out and plans on looking like a very dapper gentleman. However, no matter how cute he looks, he requests guests look but do not touch.

Granger can't believe Mom and Dad are throwing him such an elaborate party! He heard Mom say only the bride gets to wear white, so he guesses he's the bride at this shindig!

<p>We know dress codes can be confusing, so here’s a quick guide to help. Our wedding will be a formal affair. For ladies: consider a floor-length gown, a formal midi dress, or an elegant pantsuit. For gentlemen: no tux required; a suit and tie is perfect. Please avoid jeans, sneakers, and overly casual attire. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!</p>
