Erin has taught her many things such as, how to shoot a hand gun, how to test for knee injuries, the backstory behind every Taylor Swift album, and how to persevere through trials. She is so honored to be a part of her big day!

Nicole and Erin met on a mission trip with Stetson's Baptist Collegiate Fellowship in 2020, even when Nicole wasn't a believer yet. They didn't talk too much for the next year until they bumped into each other in the athletic training room and realized they both wanted to pursue the same career. They both worked for the Stetson Football team as sports medicine students assistants, and became fast friends after that. Erin has been a huge part of Nicole's walk with Christ since and is one of her dearest friends. The two continue to remain good friends even when living in different states during graduate school, where they both suffered in solidarity.

Alexis met Erin at BOLC for the Army, where Alexis noticed from afar she and Erin had the same unit patch! Throughout BOLC, they hung out, got to know each other and found out they have a lot in common and became close friends. Alexis and Erin frequently get to run into each other during different training events and missions for the Tennessee National Guard. One time, while they were at Fort Hood, Texas they even survived a tornado together! In that moment, they both got to step up as leaders together make sure everyone around them got to safety, and that the Army got the accountability checks it needed. The military has brought these two together in a way that has led their friendship to grow so much!

Matthew is CJ’s younger brother, and although the two argued plenty growing up, CJ was always the protective big brother when it mattered most. Matthew has always admired CJ for his confidence, outgoing personality, and ability to be unapologetically himself no matter who’s watching. Despite their differences, they’ve shared countless memories together—from nerding out and dressing up for Star Wars conventions to weekends spent cruising with the top off CJ’s Jeep or rebuilding their grandfather’s Triumph Spitfire. Matthew still remembers nervously getting in the car for the first time after CJ got his license, but these days he’s proud to ride shotgun as CJ begins his next journey with Erin, who already fits into the family perfectly.
