Katee and Emma met on the first day of second grade, having been seated next to each other. The teacher soon realized that was a mistake and they never shared a classroom again. They've stayed best friends throughout the years and can be found irresponsibly traveling to Europe, shopping, or shaving their cats.

Emma chose MG as her "little" in their sorority, ADPi. They ended up bonding over their self-pity and lots of wine. Instantly becoming best friends through the Cookout Drive-Thru and watching multiple shows together on Netflix, they became roommates and backpacked across Europe. Their cats, Fern and Sirius, are wedding guests in spirit.

Morgan and Emma are soon-to-be sisters as Morgan is marrying Walker's brother, Colter. When they aren't playing the boys in Mario Kart, they're talking Trader Joe's, spending way too much money at Home Goods, and wedding planning.

Andrew Fisher

Groomsman

Andrew and I have been friends since kindergarten. In high school his parents went on a 10 day vacation without him so he came and lived with me. Needless to say our studies lapsed during this time. We had a pop quiz one morning during this week about the book The Count of Monte Critso. The question on the quiz was "what was the big thing that happened at the end of chapter 12?" Andrew wrote "the picture fell off the wall." I read this and thought to myself wow thats really specific. Andrew must have read the book. So I write the same answer. Turns out Andrew had not read the book, and the correct answer was a man comes out from a tunnel in Edmon's  jail cell. We didn't pass the quiz.

La Pescaia
La Pescaia
La Pescaia

The 16th-century villa has been in the same family since 1522, and is surrounded by stables, olive groves, gardens, and the dreamy Tuscan countryside. Located in Maremma, Italy, it's 90 minutes from Pisa and 120 minutes from Rome and Florence. You can fly into Rome and have a driver take you directly to the villa or make your way slowly through Italy, enjoying the stops along the way. 

Below are our recommendations for drivers. The first link is Nick, someone we have used multiple times when touring Italy. He is a great tour guide and private chauffeur. The second link is the best option for getting from Rome to any other city in Italy, including Maremma. 

Best for Driver and Tour Guide

Private Driver

If you would like to stay near the venue, the town is Maremma, Italy. Here are a few unique stays nearby that we recommend: 

Pieve di Caminino

Country Resort Guadalupe

La Sughereta

A quick search on VRBO or airbnb gives you a list of other available homes, villas, and hotels you can rent for the night or a few days.

What to Wear

We'd love to see you dress up with us!

Welcome Dinner: Garden-Party, Semi-Formal

Ceremony: Formal Attire

Our Recommendations

We recommend flying into Rome and staying for a few nights, exploring Ancient Rome, the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Sistine Chapel. Enjoy the local cuisine and walk as much as you can! Our favorite spots are Ancient Rome, this rooftop view , the Trastevere neighborhood, and Piazza Navona. 

We highly recommend visiting the Amalfi Coast. The drivers listed above can take you there from Rome on a day trip, or there are many hotels to choose from if you'd like to stay overnight. We recommend visiting the towns of Positano and Amalfi. One of our favorite meals is at the family-owned restaurant, Da Constantino.  

Florence is a much smaller city if you do not want to feel too overwhelmed. It is perfect for a one or two-night stay. Our favorite restaurants are Osteria Cinghiale Bianco, Trattoria Il Bargello, and Ristorante Industria. We also recommend touring the Medici Palace and visiting the Uffizi museum. 

There are many vineyards in Tuscany where you can take in the magnificent views or schedule a wine tasting
