Rachael is Erika's younger sister. As kids Erika liked to pick on Rachael by singing I Hate Barney and accidentally pushing her off the bed. But over the years their relationship improved and got a little competitive, especially when it came to softball. We still have our competitive moments, but our relationship and sisterhood has grown over the years. And Erika couldn't imagine her big day without her little sister by her side!

Aaron is Ryan's middle brother. They grew up sharing a bedroom together, a car together, and even went to the same college.

They enjoy watching all the Minnesota sports teams together. Ryan couldn't imagine not having Aaron as one of his Co-Best Man on his big day!

Amanda and Erika met during Erika's Sophomore year at college when Amanda ended up being one of her suite mates!

Even though we no longer work together they've still maintained a great friendship and she still listens to me occasionally complain about work to her ha!
