Our Wedding

Joe and Erin met technically in middle school. Every class had alphabetical seating so every day they sat right next to each other and had lockers side by side all throughout middle school and high school. Yet Joe still barley ever spoke a word to Erin. He eventually worked up the nerve to talk to Erin by the time junior year hit. When two of their very close friends (who will be in the bridal party on the big day!) decided to set them up. They all went out on a few double dates together. Eventually Joe took Erin on their very first solo date at a famous local landmark “Park East” and the rest is history. Joe and Erin’s relationship was tested early on when Erin was hospitalized her senior year and was diagnosed with DVT. At 17 she had to spend a week in the ICU and Joe never left her side. After that she had to miss a majority of her senior year of high school to recover at home and Joe remained by her side and sat on the couch with her every single day. That’s when they knew their relationship was real and would last a lifetime. They remained together all throughout college and have been through every major milestone of life together. Joe finally proposed at dinner in front of their very best friends and they cannot wait to begin their life together as man and wife officially surrounded by all their loved ones. Even though they have been married in their hearts since 17 🤍

You have been my friend for 25 years and at this point you're stuck with me and Joe for life! We wouldn't trade our bond for anything in the world. You've been a brother to me since first grade and most importantly you are a brother to Joe now too. You have your own special relationship with both of us and it doesn't go unnoticed. We cant wait to keep annoying you for years to come! We love you.

Jared

Let's just start by saying there would be no Erin and Joe without you. You gave us both our soulmate and we can never repay you for that. You mean so much to me and Joe. We know we can always count on you for anything. You are a true friend. Joe has always been your fifth brother but I am so grateful to say I can consider you a brother too. We love you so much!

Tyler

How about that ride in? I guess thats why they call it sin city. You have been along for the ride of our relationship since the very beginning. 25 years friendship. You are family. We wouldn't want to quote ridiculous movies with anyone else. But at this point we prefer Bri over you...Let's black!
