Emily and Katie met in 1st grade at St. Mary's Catholic School and never looked back. From 1st grade to college roommates through adulthood, there are not many memories that Emily has that do not involve Katie. Katie is truly the sister Emily never had.

You don't get to pick your family, but there is no one else Emily would have picked to be her sister in law other than Sydney. Sydney is truly the sister Emily always wanted, and a perfect fit to the O'Gorman Family.

The only person Emily talks to more than Aaron is Emily. Emily & Emily both got laid off when their respective hospitals closed and both ended up at Kennestone Hospital two and half years ago. Emily O has no idea how she lived 30 years without Emily H in her life, but she's grateful for the broken road that lead to this incredible friendship.

Emily's right hand man, but actually left handed woman, both on and off the tennis court. Emily and Katie became fast friends through tennis after college and have just as much fun on the court together as they do off court in various activities such as trips, nights out, and working out together. Emily undoubtable is having more fun if Katie is around.

Kayla and Emily met in 7th grade, and formed a fast bond over copying each other's homework. Emily and Kayla remained best friends throughout high school and college, and Kayla was a big reason why Emily moved to Atlanta after grad school. The duo ended up living together, and trying out every new restaurant Atlanta had to offer. Kayla was the one who ultimately was the final piece in connecting Emily to Aaron, as if Emily wasn't already grateful enough for their friendship already.

Emily met Stacie freshman year of high school and quickly bonded over their less than average math grades. Emily's dad, Tom tutored both the girls and at least one of them put their math skills to use to from a highly successful business. Emily and Stacie have remained best friends over the years, and Emily is in complete awe of the powerful business woman Stacie has become all the while continuing to be such an amazing person. If Stacie and Emily are together, the laughter is truly endless.

Emily and Caroline met when Emily was in 5th grade and Caroline was in 4th grade in competitive cheerleading. They grew up to become the best of friends.

A dull moment doesn't stand a chance when they are together.

Emily and Tara met in middle school, but became the best of friends in high school. Tara was always and still is there for Emily during the highest highs, and the lowest lows. Tara is always there to encourage Emily to be a better Christian through the best advice, and is just simply always there to be a really good listener. Whenever Emily is with Tara she feels at home.

Zachary is Aaron's younger brother and go-to guy for great tunes and outdoor adventures. Zach's passion for whatever he does is recognizable from afar, but when we're luckily enough to have him home, he always brings the good vibes. Being the middle child was made much easier with two amazing brothers on either side.

Emily's older brother, who now lives in Greenville, SC, which has made every trip to this special city feel like home.

Emily's younger brother and Aaron have bonded over old fashions and Atlanta's top Tomahawk steak at Marcel.

Emily's youngest brother, the first of which Aaron met, at Greek Easter...no pressure or anything.

They became roommates through the post college years including the chaos of Covid and Tiger King, Aaron and Fallis have experienced many of the best monumental moments that life has to offer.

Sam and Aaron were gaming buddies long before they ever met in person, shout out to "Fallis" for their introduction. What started as online matches turned into late night chess games, deep theology debates, and just the right amount of whiskey. Sam is representing the group of friends known as "The Chat."

Aaron and Rhett met freshman year of college in Geology class at Clemson, where they bonded over rocks; but let's be honest, more so over beer. Rhett was one of the first to meet Emily in Greenville, on the couples first trip together. The wedding day would not be the same without Rhett representing the Clemson crew, in his current town of Greenville, SC.
