Our Wedding

Alexander &amp; I met in the summer of 2018 at Docsiders. I was out downtown with my best friend, Megan, we were out trying to have a good time, (we were at Coconut Joe's, however during summertime, being there was crazy and jam-packed, which if you're from here, you'd know). Megan and I decided to head to docsiders to finish our night out. Megan then ran into Alex and his buddy Ryan. She was/is a friend of Alex's through the firehouse, and her dad was the fire chief. Megan and Alex talked, we danced for a bit, all together, and the night ended. Alex asked Megan for my number, so she told me that he was interested in me, and she received my permission to give my number to him. Alex was persistent and patient with me for months after we had met until we made it official in November 2018. Since then Alex and I have not been apart and have spent everyday together since.

How we met

Our Story

Details

Just some of our favorite pictures and memories with each other.

Photos

Megan has been my best friend for 7-8 years. We met through a mutual friend, Jamie and we have been close ever since. She is the first one on the dance floor with me, the first to always agree on Taco Bell, as well as after our fun nights out. Megan has supported me from afar as she completes her dream of becoming a Doctor. Megan is the first one to stumble through life with me.
if it wasn't for her and always being my dance partner, I would have never met the love of life and be as strong as I am now. Megan has been such a blessing to my life.

Megan

Carly and I met while working at Shriners together back in 2017. While we shared good times there and crying sessions in the one bathroom, we knew we would be the best of friends. Carly and I have been pretty inseparable since. We have worked 2 job locations together, I brought her along with me when I was hired at UPMC Neurosurgery. We have this bond like no other. We can tell each other everything and argue like sisters, but we never stay mad for long at each other. Having her as my maid of honor # 2, there was no other choice! She will have fun planning things with my friend Megan and knows exactly what I like and has been by my side through everything life has thrown at me so far. 

Carly

Kayla is my twin sister. She is 2 minutes older than me and we are fraternal. We couldn't be any more opposite actually. She is a homebody who enjoys video games and reading books. She has much of the "Tina" factor from Bob's Burgers. HAHA!! 
Kayla is my best friend! She has kept multiple secrets for me. She defended me when working together for a short stint. Kayla has been my backbone since I can remember. There is no one else I would have standing beside me if it wasn't her.

Kayla

Brittany is married to my brother, Billy. She is my sister in law, and has been a huge impact on me and our family since they met. Brittany and I are very close, we have the same humor and RBF. She just gets me. Brittany does not hesitate to dance on a bar with me. 
well.... maybe now she would, we are both older since the first day of meeting and our bodies can no longer do what they used to. Brittany is the first one to go with me to a country concert without question. She will dance with me at our seats rocking out.

Brittany

There was no hesitation from me when it comes to this special person. Selena and I met back in 2017 when I started at Shriners. The moment we met, its just been the 'realest' relationship I have ever been blessed with. Selena is my soul sister. She keeps me wise and is ALWAYS there for me. Selena and I share a bond like no other. We can give one look to each other and know exactly what each other is thinking, immediately. I could NOT have picked her, if anyone knows me through my heart and soul besides my twin sister, it's her. Selena knows my heart and soul more than anyone could understand.

Selena

Morgan is the little sister I have always wanted! I have known her since 2008. I dated her brother back then and even though we are no longer together or even 'friends', Morgan and I have remained best friends ever since. We immediately developed a close bond since meeting and we have the same humor, same mannerisms, we actually get mistaken quite often for actual "sisters" than not. We have the funniest stories between us and jokes. We often come back to each other when the jokes or stories come back up. Morgan has the skills of all the little sisters that the older ones who are now in this generation don't have. She can braid and do hair, and I am always asking her to do my hair when we are together. 

Morgan

Sam and I met back in 2016 when we were going to school at Great Lakes Tech School. We were both becoming a medical assistant. Ever since we met, we both knew we would be and remain the best of friends. 
Sam and her little family are also my little family, they have included me and recognized me as a family member. To her kids, I go by Aunt Erin, and I will forever remain that no matter how much time goes between us. Sam is someone I can call or text at any time with anything for any reason. Sam is such a good friend of mine and I can not think of anyone else to be by my side!

Samantha (SAM)

Sarah is recently married to Matthew Heath- 2024 who is the best man. Sarah and I met when Alex and I started dating, 2018. Sarah is the kindest and most sincere person I have ever met. She is someone I can always call on for any help that is needed, not just because they live 10 seconds down the road, but because she has a heart of gold. There is no one else like her and I am honored to have her as a friend and a bridesmaid. 

Sarah

Tuna and Matthew have known each other since grade school. They are annoyingly inseparable and they are always "twinning" one way or another. Matthew loves to annoy me (Erin) constantly. We have very much a sibling relationship. You can catch Matthew teaching Tuna all the tricks of any trade because Matthew is a jack of all trades and can do and fix any and everything. 

Matt Heath

Tuna and Matt #2 have known each other since their navy days. They remained very close ever since. Matt tries to make trips up once a year if not once a year, every other year, and when he does you can catch the 3 guys at the McKean tavern drinking beers and having a good time. 

Matt Wise

Alex and Chris have known each other since Alex started at the Erie barracks, 5-6 years now, maybe? They are midnight partners together working the same shift & schedule. The two of them together are very much an older brother and little brother. The cause a lot of chaos when together out and about, and Chris is looking out for his "little guy". (inside joke between them)

Chris W.

Alex and Ricky (the guy on the right-hand side) have known each other for quite some time. They were volunteer firefighters at Westlake Firehouse. Now, they work together at the Erie barracks where Ricky is a dispatcher and Alex is out fighting crime. No one's ever seen him and Batman in the same room, suspicious? Kind of. But we can't talk about it. 

Ricky

This is Erin's older brother, Tuna and Billy have developed a close relationship since they started dating. Billy and Erin (me) have a close relationship and they act more like twins than she does with her actual twin sister. 

Billy

AKA- Kovacs.
Tuna and Nick have been long-time good friends since middle school. They are always planning hunting trips to take together or with a group of their closest friends. Nick has been someone to always make the first joke that should not be said out loud. 

Nick

AKA- Beining, pronounced "BI-NNING"
Alex and Beining have also been long-time friends since their Navy days. Beining currently lives back home in Wisconsin, and we try to alternate years to go and visit each other, however this year it'll be each way, 2 visits one out to Wisconsin- he is getting married in July and the next they will come out here in October for our wedding. Super cool that it'll work out like that for 2025. 

Chris B

This is one of Erin's best friends so I am including him in my lineup (so we can be even).
Josh has been a great friend to me and mostly to Erin. She speaks highly of him and has shared many stories about their trustworthy relationship. They have been best friends for the past 10 years or so. Erin was adamant about him being a part of our wedding one way or another, so we agreed to have him stand on my side.

Q + A

Registry

Baymont by Wyndham Erie

This airport is one of the closest and nicest ones to fly into and drive from. It is about 2 hours away from us, or maybe less than, depending on the day and time when arriving.

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport

This is also a nice airport and maybe 2 hours or less from us, however, Pittsburgh is hard to navigate with all the hills and traffic, nonetheless, its just as easy as Cleveland.

Pittsburgh International Airport

Travel

No code for a discount as of yet, but will update this once I get that worked out, along with a shuttle service to the venue as well.

If you're looking for a bar to hang out at and have good cheap drinks and decent food, this is the place!

McKean Tavern

If you want someplace downtown that is fun, cheap and has decent food as well, this is the place!

Calamari's Squid Row

The last but not least place, which is also downtown, has good food, cheap drinks, and good music. This is a chill atmosphere, while can be very busy at times as well.
