Wedding Party

Dakota ᡣ𐭩
Dakota ᡣ𐭩 - Maid of Honor
Dakota was my first friend my freshman year of high school and became my best friend very quickly. She is one of the most kind-hearted, selfless, and incredible human beings I've ever met. To say I admire her is an understatement. I will do anything to bring her up and brag about her. She is a great listener, and an even better yapper. She is currently in graduate school to be a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and I couldn't think of a more perfect career for her. She is extremely empathetic, understanding, a great listener and gives amazing advice. Fun fact: Dakota dated Chance in 7th grade LOL, talk about the invisible string theory! Dakota is a "once in a lifetime" best friend, there is nobody else like her. I am so lucky to call her my best friend, and even luckier to have her as my maid of honor on the most important day of my life.
Courtney ᡣ𐭩
Courtney ᡣ𐭩 - Bridesmaid
Courtney is my oldest sister, she is a role model of mine and someone I have always looked up to. I followed her foot steps and became a nurse like her. I'm even getting married at the same wedding venue because her wedding was such an amazing, wonderful, and beautiful day! There's no words to describe the bond between sisters, but sisters are forever. I remember being a little girl and thinking to myself, "I want to be just like my sisters when I grow up". She is incredibly caring, empathetic, and supportive. I'm so lucky to have such a close relationship with my sissy.
Kayla ᡣ𐭩
Kayla ᡣ𐭩 - Bridesmaid
Kayla is my big sister, another major role model in my life. As much as I annoy her and get under her skin, she is my built in bestie. She is beautiful inside & out, extremely selfless, and hands down the funniest person I know. She gives the best advice and is the first person I call when I need a good laugh or a pick me up. Kayla has a heart of pure gold and sure can hold her liquor. We had the most magical childhood -- playing barbies, sharing bunk beds, and carpool karaoke on the way to school. You don't get to choose your family but I am so lucky because I have the best sisters in the world.
Jessica ᡣ𐭩
Jessica ᡣ𐭩 - Bridesmaid
I met Jessica back in 2017 through my childhood friend Brandon. Brandon was my best friend, until he introduced me to Jessica which threw him to the back of the line. Jessica and I really hit it off at a tigers game sharing a strawberry daquiri, adding each other on snap chat, and becoming best friends ever since. From that day on we had countless study sessions in our early years of college, I became an honorary third wheel and crashed their dates most of the time, and helped Jessica and Brandon move into their first apartment. Jessica is a great listener, gives amazing advice, and has never told me I'm "too much". She's the type of friend that makes you feel like you're more than enough. I'm beyond grateful for the friendship we share and our mutual obsession with Taylor Swift!
Alba ᡣ𐭩
Alba ᡣ𐭩 - Bridesmaid
Alba and I have been close friends since the summer of 2019. We grew up in the same city and went to school together our whole lives, but became best friends later on in life. Alba is a compassionate, thoughtful, and gracious person. We survived our teenage years together, nursing school together, and learning how to be adults together. We have seen the best and the worst of each other and our bond has only grown stronger. I'm so lucky to have someone as open-minded and special as Alba in my life and I'm our of this world excited for her to be apart of my special day!
Jewel ᡣ𐭩
Jewel ᡣ𐭩 - Bridesmaid
Jewel and I met at Tim Hortons and quickly became good friends in 2018. Flash forward to 2021, and I find out that Jewel is Chance's aunt. What a small world! Jewel and I clicked from the moment we met, everyone at work called us twins. As I started coming around the family, everyone said I fit right in because I'm blonde like the rest of them! They welcomed me with open arms. Jewel has the sweetest soul, the best personality, and I always have the most fun with her! She is an amazing mother and one of the strongest people I know! I'm looking forward to making more memories with her and her special little family! I'm so proud of the woman she is and the woman she's becoming -Love, Ericka.
Malia ᡣ𐭩
Malia ᡣ𐭩 - Bridesmaid
Malia truly is the definition of "life of the party". She is an incredible, wonderful, and all around a beautiful person. We instantly clicked from the moment we met and always have so much fun together. Malia is a super empathetic and caring person. She is a police officer for the City of Detroit and I couldn't think of a better career that suits her. I'm so proud of her for her sacrifices every day and the young woman she is becoming. I'm so proud to have her as my bridesmaid!
Rania ᡣ𐭩
Rania ᡣ𐭩 - Bridesmaid
Rania is a thoughtful, strong-minded, and incredible human being. Also, one of the funniest and most charismatic people I've ever met. The first time we hung out we got Starbucks and went shopping and spent way too much money! Me, Chance, Jacob, and Rania were roomates for 2 years. Those 2 years were filled with nothing but love, laughter, and hangovers. We were truly one big happy family! Rania is a one-of-a-kind person, and I am one of the lucky people that got the opportunity to get to know and love her. There isn't a word big enough to describe my excitement and how honored I am for her and Jacob to be such a huge part of our wedding day!
Jamie
Jamie - Best Man
Jamie was there for a lot of my best and worst moments in my life. We’ve known each other almost 15 years. A true friend that’s always been there for me. He will always have the whole room laughing no matter where you’re at guaranteed. From countless hours on the baseball field to lots of late nights partying, or simply hanging out playing video games. It’s never a dull moment. I appreciate and cherish all the memories we made so far and it’s a honor to have him as my best man
Jayce
Jayce - Groomsman
My baby brother and a great friend to me. It’s been an honor watching him grow up and I look forward to see who he becomes. He recently just started driving and bought his own car. He’s got a bright future ahead of him and has been with me a lot at my studio training to be an engineer one day. I couldn’t be more proud of him.
Jeremiah
Jeremiah - Groomsman
My brother and my first friend. Having siblings means having people to go through your whole life with. We had the best childhood together, from having toy blocks making guns out of them and then having an all out war. To staying up all night playing left4dead or call of duty together as kids. A lot of my core memories are with him and i can’t imagine getting married without having him by my side.
Nate
Nate - Groomsman
We’ve been friends for as long as I can remember. From going to the park to film ourselves doing parkour, going to baseball tournaments on the weekends every summer, and now making music & running a studio with me. He’s someone I can always depend on and I have some of my best memories with.
Devin
Devin - Groomsman
He became a great friend to me throughout the last few years and has all of my respect and support. He helped tremendously with asking Ericka to marry me letting me borrow his camera to film everything & also shooting our engagement photos. He's been a huge help in my career as well, TAC wouldn’t be the same without him. Devin is one of the most intelligent people I know.
Juan
Juan - Groomsman
He’s been one of my best friends since I was about 15. He’s someone I can always count on and talk to about anything. Juan lived with me for a little bit in high school and those were some of the best days of my life. We would stay up all night making music, playing videos games, and just talking about life. Then we would check the clock, see it’s 4am on a school night and both agree we’re not making it to school on time. My parents weren’t happy but I wouldn’t change a thing. We still hangout all the time and I’m very grateful for our friendship.
PJ
PJ - Groomsman
He’s been one of my best friends since I was about 13/14. He’s hilarious, honest, and one of the few people I fully trust. He’s someone that has all my respect. Without him I never would’ve gotten the courage to start making music. He was on my first song ever called “Lifestyle” and even though I wasn’t good at the time, he always told me to keep going. It means the world to me to have him standing next to me on the most important day of my life.
Will
Will - Groomsman
Will, mainly known as "Siren" to us has been my best friend for a couple years now. He’s the friend that will always answer that call at 4am for anything and show up doing the best he can. He’s super supportive, a people person, and can talk to anybody about anything, We’re with each other almost everyday working at the studio trying to achieve our dreams and I’m thankful he’s one of my best friends.
Jacob
Jacob - Groomsman
He’s a great friend, We’re never not having fun when we’re together. He’s always the life of the party and absolutely hilarious. We used to play travel baseball together and was always my throwing partner every tournament. We were roommates with our girls living with us, and we were one big happy family. We watched each other grow up and become adults together and I’m very grateful he’s apart of my life.
Eliana
Eliana - Flower Girl
