Known as the Erics by our parents, we’ve been friends since childhood. You know you have a friend for life when distance or stage of life can’t keep us apart. The wedding wouldn’t feel right without my best friend as my best man.

Sister of the bride. Fellow cheesecake lover.

Niece of the bride. The most amazingly talented person there ever was on the face of this planet. There, I said it.

America became so much better when our South African girl joined our country. The wedding would not be complete without you.

Jaele Grace, amazing grace. Such a strong, independent girl. You will move mountains, mighty one!

Brielle: adventurous, thoughtful, clever, and steadfast. You are a treasure!
