Amanda and I met during the first few days of seminary at Southeastern. She doesn't really remember when we met, and I will forever hang that over her head. We share a love for Dawson's Creek, 90210, trips to Target, and good food. This absolutely qualifies us to be best friends! Amanda and I are the best travel buddies. Thankfully Kyle and Jeremy encouraged our continuing this after we are both married. We are marrying winners!

Lindsay is my Alabama friend. We also met at Southeastern, and she "didn't know who this Erin girl was that everyone was talking about." I am thankful for her friendship which was solidified the day I cried on her. Tears make true friendships. Lindsay and I have run together quite a bit. We've cruised the high seas. And we've found ourselves in some awkward dinners a time or two.

There is quite the trend in this bridal party: Candie was my first friend from Southeastern. Candie taught me how to make a quesadilla, watched the royal wedding with me at 5 AM, and was married on my birthday. How could I forget her?

Yet again. I offered for Amelia to ride with me to church one night, and friends we became. We haven't lived in the same place very long, but talk about once a week. She is my friend and prayer warrior. We can chat about it all and be on the same page!

Koral is my soon to be sister-in-law. Koral and I met over Christmas of 2014. To meet the sisters is a big deal. I look forward to getting to know her better! Though what I do know is that we share a love for People magazines and certain types of slushie/Icee situations from a gas station.

Karly is also my soon to be sister-in-law. Christmas proved to be nerve-wracking for a bit in meeting Karly and Koral. But I think I passed the sister test. Karly and I share a love for Loft .. (which I think Koral does too).. And when a girl gets in Loft, you just know you need to be patient. I'm looking forward to shopping with these girls!
