I met Emily through our sorority in 2015 and I knew pretty quickly that I needed her to be my little sister. Over the past 9 years Emily has been my best friend, my roommate, and the little sister I’ve always dreamed of. Now, I get to watch Emily enter the next chapter of her life as a bride and I can’t wait to stand next to her on this special day.

Hi! I’m Josh and I first met Ryan years ago at a Christmas Dinner, but it wasn’t til college when I really got to know him. We started hanging out at UNLV over 9 years ago and since that time we’ve traveled to a new countries, picked up hobbies and had the privilege of seeing Ryan and Emily get engaged and now married. Ryan is like a brother and he and my wife are actually cousins so it’s fitting that we’ve become actual family. I’m humbled to be Ryan’s best man and so excited to celebrate Ryan and Emily’s special day!

Hey! My name is Mia and I met Emily in middle school — 17 years ago! We both were new to the school and instantly became best friends. Since then, we’ve seen each other graduate high school & college, she’s been by my side as I raise my family and she is the God Mother to my second daughter. I am honored and so excited to be by Emily’s side as she enters this new chapter of her life with Ryan!

Hello! My name is Bradley, and I’m honored to be part of Ryan and Emily’s big day. I met Ryan and Emily back in 2015 during our college days, even before they started dating. We quickly became close friends, and our bond has only grown stronger over the years. I’ve always had a great time hanging out with them, especially on our travel trips. I also had the privilege of dog-sitting their beloved Labrador, Haru, for multiple occasions, which was a real treat. I’m excited to witness this new chapter in their lives and can’t wait to celebrate their love on the wedding day.

I’m Megumi! I met Emily when I sat next to her in math class after she moved to Mililani Middle School in 7th grade. Since then, we've never strayed apart and have always supported each other, even while living in different states. Although I didn’t attend UNLV with her, it seems the universe wanted us to be closer—who would have guessed that my fiancé and Ryan were already friends from college too!

Howzit everybody! This is the first time I’ve been a groomsman and what an honor! We’re getting old! The first time I met Ryan, we didn’t even shake hands! He was just eyeing me out from the back of the room! A couple or 10 beers later, now he’s asking me “eh what school you went?”  Almost a decade later, we’ve been through it all and I’m grateful to have such a swell guy I can call my brother. I’ve shared a lot of great memories with you, I’m thankful for you, and I’m blessed to be a part of your special day.

Hi! I’m Nicole and I’m overjoyed to be a part of Emily and Ryan’s special day. I’m actually Ryan’s cousin and I met Em when they first started dating after college. Since then, our friendship has blossomed into something truly special. We started getting close from going to spin classes every week. Years later, we’ve travelled the world together, learned how to snowboard, and share a lot of unforgettable moments. I already think of Emily as my sister so I’m elated to officially welcome her into the family. I feel so honored to be able to celebrate this huge milestone with Emily and Ryan!

Hey, I’m Chase and I am Ryan’s younger brother. Like all siblings, we have our share of ups and downs. However, I am honored to be a part of Ryan and Emily’s special day and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s in store for them in the future!
