Emily & Adam's Wedding

Lauren is Emily's (favorite) sister, but their bond goes far beyond genetics.  Summers spent in faraway lands like Charlottesville and Cambridge ensured social isolation from peers and a dependence on each other for entertainment. Growing up Bierman, the two share a love for sea chanties and civil war battle hymns. Today, Lauren teaches 7th, 8th, and 9th grade English in Greenwich, CT, where she lives with her hubby and fellow teacher, Rob. She is the best pun-generator of all-time, and makes a pretty good cocktail, too.

Amanda is one of Emily's best friends from high school. Their adventures have taken them from Iowa (woo running camp!), to Italy, France and Diagon Alley (true story). At the Minnesota Department of Education, Amanda watches out for the kiddos in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and makes sure our tax dollars go to good use. She also has the best taste in music of all of our friends, yet still appreciates a good Aqua sing-a-long. Amanda lives in St. Paul with her boyfriend, Martin, and her dog, Clancy.

Kath is Emily's best friend from college. The two bonded over early Saturday morning long distance runs, (following) late night Taco Bell trips, and many a dance party. Kath lives in New Haven, CT and works as an alumni counselor. Kath can also knit like a boss and has recently perfected the art of calligraphy--a skill you can admire on our invitations ;)

Elizabeth and Emily became best friends in middle school when Elizabeth signed up for NMS track. Elizabeth shares Emily's passions for long-distance running, bad horror movies, and supernatural TV shows. Elizabeth can kick your butt in any athletic competition, but be so darn nice while doing so that you won't even care! Elizabeth puts her amazing artistic skills to use as an art teacher in Rochester, Minnesota. She lives with her husband, Matt, and their ADORABLE daughter, Violet.

Jessica is Adam's sister and the prettiest of the Sonnenfelds (don't tell Matt!). She graduated early from Skidmore College in upstate New York before fleeing the northeast for warmer climates. Jess now lives and works in Los Angeles where she gets to rub shoulders with the Hollywood elite. Like all good Sonnenfelds, Jess loves a good roller-coaster ride, and you can find her on off days making the most of her proximity to Disneyland.  

Violet is the youngest and sweetest member of our bridal party. She turns two years old this August, and her interests include being adorable and breaking hearts with her cuteness. She is the daughter of Elizabeth (see above) and Matt Christensen. We couldn't be more thrilled to have this cutie as a flower girl!
