Tom Erickson - Best Man

Tom is my older brother. Our lives growing up together revolved around sports and competing in everything, and it brought the best out of both of us. Tom is always down for a round of golf or a Cubs/Bears/Blackhawks/Ohio State game!

Pat Erickson - Best Man

Pat is my younger brother. He is one of the funniest and most genuine person I know. He is the baby of the family, and likewise, he runs the show. Pat also enjoys watching sports as much as humanly possible.

Andrew Baudino - Best Man

Augie Baseball #46

State Farm #1

Andrew once gave me the best advice that I had ever received in my life. The first time he met Alex on our trip to Colorado he told me, "Alex is awesome. Don't be an idiot and screw this up!" Andrew is one of the most ambitious and hard working people I know, while at the same time being the goofiest person I know. You'll never be bored with this guy around.

Joe Erickson - Groomsman

Joe is my oldest brother. He has been living in Texas for a few years and he is always working towards moving up professionally. Joe is not shy about his love for animals is a great owner to his dogs, birds and reptiles!

Ben Heaton - Groomsman & Officiant

Augie Baseball #20

Ben has been a close friend of mine since freshman year of college. We were both Pitchers and spent many hours in the bullpen pulling pranks, scheming how to get out of running and dominating on the mound. 2013 Academic All American.

Jim Sandberg - Groomsman

Augie Baseball #8

Team Swiss #8

Jim has been a close friend of mine since freshman year of college. Jim was our Catcher and never grew frustrated with my inability to see his signs. I guess not seeing signs isn't as frustrating as Ben spiking 8 straight fastballs in the dirt right at Jim's chest. Jim and I were roommates during and after college and also across the world.

John Crook - Groomsman

Augie Baseball #41

Team Swiss #41

John and I met in college at Augustana - it was his freshman year and my sophomore year. John was a Catcher and was always a part of the bullpen fun. John and I have gone on numerous trips together, most notably Switzerland. He is one of the most selfless people I know.

Joe and I were baseball rivals before college, but ended up on the same team and roommates in college. We share a love of everything Chicago sports and text back and forth for pretty much every Bears and Cubs game.

Molly Latuszek - Matron of Honor

Molly is my oldest sister. Molly and I first went from being just sisters to best friends when I would go over to her apartment every Thursday for dinner and Grey's Anatomy. Molly is also a teacher and the amazing mother of Poppy and Wes. She has always been a role model for me and one of my favorite people to hang out with.

Kelsie Modig - Matron of Honor

Kelsie is also one of my older sisters. Kelsie used to call me on her way home from class when she was at ISU and I would do the same when I attended ISU. Still to this day, we often find ourselves talking and laughing for over hours. Kelsie has been a huge help planning the wedding and is the amazing mother of Cora and JP. She is some one I greatly look up to and one of my best friends.

Danielle Weinrauch - Maid of Honor

Danielle and I met in 8th grade where we discovered how much we both love to goof off on the volleyball team. We were then joined at the hip all through high school. Even though we went to different colleges, our friendship never dwindled. We then lived together in the city for 4 amazing years. Danielle has been my rock through all the ups and downs in life and I have been blessed to have been able to call her my best friend for the past 10 years.

Maddie Block - Bridesmaid

Maddie is another one of my older sisters and the closest to me in age. Maddie and I were always together growing up and even shared a room for years.Where ever Maddie was, I was always close behind. Maddie has quite the green thumb and beautiful gardens, hopefully she will be able to help me with my garden one day.

Rachel Brown - Bridesmaid

Rachel joined our group of friends freshman year of high school. We bonded at countless sleepovers and our complete lack of dance skills. Rachel and I really grew close when we became roommates after college. We had two years of slumber parties where we cooked together and stayed up late talking about anything and everything.

Jessica Rogers - Bridesmaid

I met Jess on the first day of new teacher training only to discover we had been attending the same school since middle school. We survived our first few years of teaching together and bonded over our love of country music and the Packers. We then helped each other get our Master's and celebrated by lounging the in sun in Punta Cana. Don't tell Rick, but Jess is probably the funniest person I know.

Addie Sedoff - Bridesmaid

Addie is my younger cousin. Over the past 5 or so years, Addie and I have been getting closer and closer. She has come to visit me a few times now and we have had so much fun eating sushi, kayaking on the Chicago River, and ice skating at Wrigley Field. I'm hoping we still have our regular Facetimes while she is studying abroad in New Zealand this semester. Addie is probably the coolest person I know.

Arie Longobardi - Bridesmaid

Arie and I met my freshman year at ISU, where our dorm rooms were right next to each other. We then spent the next three years laughing as much as possible with each other. Even though Arie now lives in San Diego, when we are able to connect it's like no time has past at all. Arie is the most beautiful person both inside and out.

Tim Latuszek & Pat Modig - Alex's Brothers-In-Law

Tim and Pat have really taken the brother role very seriously for me and have not missed an opportunity to tease me. They also have my back no matter what and I know I can always rely on them whenever I need them. They are also terrific dad's to my wonderful nieces and nephews.

Grant Stewart

Augie Baseball #12

Grant transferred to Augie our Junior year and instantly fit right in. He's got a great sense of humor and work ethic - two traits that make him an excellent teacher! He is also the best defensive 1st Baseman that I have ever played with.

Dr. David Balzer
