Dana is Erika's older sister by 11 years. Dana likes cherries, Philadelphia sports, and 90s hip-hop. She is an excellent cook and loves to host. She makes an incredible kitchen sink salad! Erika can always depend on Dana. She runs a very successful animal sitting business (call her if you're in South Jersey!)

Kelsey and Erika met the first day of 6th grade when they sat across from each other in social studies. Kelsey had on K-Swiss sneakers. Her dad remembers Erika as 'the girl on the soccer team who is fast and goes to On the Border a lot.' Kelsey and Erika got themselves through a rough spring 2020 in NYC by taking scenic walks, finding speakeasies, and ordering to-go cocktails while lounging in Tompkins Square Park. Kelsey is also extremely chic and has a very masculine cat named T.

Kendall Bader (formerly Fisher) is Erika's very first friend. They met at Under the Sun Learning Center when they were around 3/4 years old. In high school, Erika's favorite pastime was driving around in Kendall's black Pathfinder and listening to whatever playlist Kendall put together. Kendall currently resides in Ohio with her husband, Jared and their two adorable sons, Beckett and Jackson.

Anna and Erika met virtually via AIM in 7th grade. In 9th grade, Lexi, Anna, and Erika conspired to elect each other as team cheerleading captains (it worked). Anna is low-key hilarious and enjoys traditional Irish dancing in her free time. You can find her buying cute, trendy toys for Five Below, getting her nails done or collecting sneakers.

Lexi and Erika met in elementary school. Over the years, they have been on multiple cheerleading teams together and taken many trips to Chick-fil-a and the local mall. Their favorite activities to do together are to re-watch Laguna Beach and meet for cocktails (like Erika, Lexi likes a good spicy margarita or an espresso martini). Lexi has an extensive accessory collection that she will always lend you during a time of fashion need.

Liz and Erika met in the most modern way possible - searching the internet for a normal human to share an apartment in NYC. After Erika missed their initial meeting because she woke up in Brooklyn, the two clicked. Liz is a fantastic stylist and business owner. If you are lucky enough to get a spot, visit her at the trendiest downtown location across from The Spaniard. She also has a stunning cat named Duncan and an extremely cool sense of style.

Grace is the first person Erika met at Temple University orientation, and they've been friends ever since. Erika followed Grace's move to NYC after a very fun weekend of visiting her and galivanting around SoHo. Grace is incredibly boho-chic, plays the guitar, and has a gorgeous lady cat named Callie. She also recently got engaged to Jameson!

Joe and Dan met when their mother gave birth to Joe in 1994. Joe is not only Dan's brother, but his best friend. Although younger, he is taller than Dan. Joe's interests include Night Moves, Pabst Blue Ribbon, trucks, and choosing the song of the summer. Joe and Dan will be the best men in each other's wedding's as Joe is marrying Abby (who will subsequently be Dan's sister-in-law) in June 2023. Make sure to comment on Joe's height when you see him at the wedding!

James and Dan met at college orientation at Loyola University Maryland in 2010 and played a nice game of racquetball. They lived across the hall from each other and quickly became good buddies. James likes bodies of water, hunting, and has recently taken up golfing. In addition, he is a classically trained and world-renowned Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). Someday, James, Philip (featured later as a groomsmen), and Dan hope to go to their 100th brewery together (they are currently at 90).

Ryan and Dan met in 1997 as kindergarteners in Ms. Merrigan's class, along with Thomas, who will later be featured as a groomsmen. Ryan used to come over to Dan's house for breakfast before school and they would eat Taylor Ham. Now they usually drink beers when they get together. Ryan and Dan lived about 5 minutes from each other growing up, playing plenty of manhunt, bonfires, and setting off fireworks (to Dan's mother's dismay). Ryan recently got engaged to Emily - say congrats if you see him!

Chris and Dan have been friends for quite a while, some would say since grade school. Chris, or "Weester", as his friends call him, and Dan spent many summers at the beach growing up between Point Pleasant and Long Beach Island. These days Weester does some top secret work for the government. Be sure to check out his moves on the dance floor at the wedding!

Jake and Dan met in Mr. Cosgrave's 1st grade class, enjoying Flapjack Friday's. They frequently checked out the playground scene after school but before CCD on Monday's. In High School, Jake and Ryan (a previously mentioned groomsmen), were on the High School swim team, where the focus was more on where we were going to get food after practice. Jake recently got married to Maggie in Washington DC, and had a lovely reception near the White House. One of his major interests includes feeding the seagulls at the beach.

Phil and Dan met freshmen year at Loyola University Maryland (go hounds!), in 2010 and became friends quickly after living across the hall from each other. Later on in March 2020, Dan and Phil became roommates in NYC, a perfect time to move into a city under lockdown. Phil's hobbies include going to many Yankees games, late night television personalities, and Yahoo! Phil will be getting married to Caitlin in Connecticut in October 2023.

Thomas and Dan met (along with previously mentioned groomsmen Ryan), in Ms. Merrigan's Kindergarten class. They quickly bonded over their love of baseball and went to games at Veteran's Stadium and Shea Stadium. He has many nicknames that he fondly goes by including Duncan, T.Z., and the BIG 11. Duncan recently got married to Maria and had a very fun reception in New Orleans. Thomas will likely get a steak at the wedding.
