Cara and Sue are cousins who grew up together. They have way too much fun when they get to spend time together, which isn't often enough because Sue lives in Missouri (and just refuses to move closer to Cara). Sue is married to John Lylera who is also a lot of fun. Sue and John own Under The Yellow Umbrella-a craft and gift store in Saint Charles, Missouri, that features over 70 local small businesses under one roof, offering a wide variety of handmade goods, home decor, apparel, and custom-made items.

Our B-F-Jeff! Call him Jeff or Jeffrey, whatever you like. Always with a joke or a kind word, Jeff has been one of Eric's closest friends over the last ten years. "Jeff may be the "best man" that I've ever known. I'm so honored to have him stand with us on our big day."

Bob is one of Eric's closest friends and mentors. Working side by side since 1991, Bob has always been there to support Eric in whatever he does. When Cara moved to Los Angeles, Bob and his wife Wendy welcomed her into the family with open arms. The Davis' exemplify what "found family" can be. We love them dearly, and are honored to have Bob as the figurehead to give the bride away.

Ron Hart has recorded and performed with a variety of jazz, new age, rock and pop artists, beginning at age 19 with Dionne Warwick.
