Our Wedding

Max cleverly recreated the day him and Erin met almost exactly 1 year prior. He got the same group of people together for a day of sand volleyball, took Erin out for frozen yogurt at the same spot, and took a walk out to Belmont Harbor - just how they had done when they first met. Erin knew he had recreated the day for her, but she thought it was to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. Little did she know he was planning for a proposal. While out at the harbor, Erin was throwing the tennis ball to Kobe - without realizing that Max had written "will you marry me" on the ball. When she finally noticed, Max got on a knee and professed his love. Neither of them remember what he said (but I'm sure it was sweet). Dan, Dingo, and Jeremy were hiding behind the trees and captured the whole proposal on film and video.

Brother of the groom. He loves to play video games, board games and impersonate Gollum. 

Jacob Tucker

Bekka is the older sister of Erin and recently completed her M.D.&nbsp;at the University of South Dakota. She&nbsp;is now on the interview trail for Internal Medicine and Family Medicine Residency programs. Bekka would always instruct Erin that her theme should be timeless not  "wow factor." Needless to say, this wedding could not have happened if it wasn't for the hours of phone conversations, FaceTime sessions, and thousands of text messages about wedding plans with Bekka. Bekka also served as the calm mediator between Kris and Erin. For those of you who have met Kris and Erin or have seen them together, it shouldn't surprise you that a mediator was much needed. Thank you, Bekka!

Friend of the groom (head groomsman) - Dan and the groom have known each other since kindergarten when they&nbsp;made a secret pact of friendship. He is a Michigan sports fan and enjoys playing golf even if that means losing to the groom for the last few years. 

Daniel Williams

Alyssa and Erin have been best friends since high school. The two are known to be a little too adventurous: Meijer trips in Halloween costumes at 3am, crashing weddings, basketball camps, and TP-ing various people in the county (sorry!). 

After high school, Erin went to college down in Florida and Alyssa went to school at Detroit Mercy. Even though they didn't get to see each other as much, their friendship still remained strong and they tried to do a road trip every summer. During the summers in Michigan Alyssa and Erin were inseparable and you could find them running on M22 or playing basketball or volleyball with the boys. Alyssa is currently a nurse at Munson Hospital in Traverse City. 



Erin is so excited to be Alyssa's maid of honor for her and Trevor's wedding on July 14, 2018!

Allyson is the first cousin and friend of the bride. Allyson and Erin share many stories growing up and even went to college together at Florida Southern. When they weren't tanning at the campus pool&nbsp;they could be found&nbsp;backpacking in Orlando and Tampa, journaling,&nbsp;pulling pranks on&nbsp;people on the hall with food concoctions and animals, and taking&nbsp;many trips to Disney and Universal Studios. After college, Allyson went to live in Europe for a few years to study and travel. She recently received a job in NYC and Erin hopes to be able to visit soon!&nbsp;

Erin Dingrando, also known as "Dingo", has been a friend of Erin's since high school. She is primarily responsible to setting the two love birds up. The day she met Max she admitted thinking to herself "you need to meet Erin". Six months later they were introduced at a group volleyball game (that Dingo set up and made sure Max attended) and it was love at first sight. Max will forever have Dingo to thank!Dingo and Erin share memories of working at the Pedaling Beans, soccer, sand volleyball, crazy diets, sleeping on the trampoline, and living the life in Chicago! Dingo lived with Erin for several summers in Chicago while interning at Deloitte. In 2016, she began to work full time in Chicago and the two friends took on the city - one froyo shop at a time!Dingo is one of those friends you can pick up with anytime and the friendship is always there. Whether it be to play sand volleyball for 6 straight hours or go grab an iced coffee with, Dingo is always up for anything. Dingo is finishing up her Master's Degree at the University of Michigan and has accepted a job at Deloitte. Erin is so excited she can be part of the big day!

Friend of the groom- Dante and Max met freshman year of college . Dante&nbsp; is best know for his famous mixed drinks, 3/4 liquor with a splash of soda.&nbsp; Dante is always up for anything , and would never&nbsp;turn down a night out with his pals, even if it's country night at the Copper Dragon.&nbsp;

Kim and Erin met in 2008 at Florida Southern College. They became friends almost instantly and shared many memories...often times stirring up trouble. Dressing up and going to the goth club, Halloween costume contests, driving around in overheating Percy (Kim's car), Spring Breaks, taking fruit from the cafeteria, Valentine's dates, etc. Kim and Erin both served as the college mascot "Mocsie" (the viscous water snake) and did events such as the mascot olympics. Kim even spent a summer in Michigan to get away from the Florida heat and worked at the Cheese Shop!

The two friends have kept in touch since graduating from Florida Southern, even though Kim moved to Kansas for the Army and Erin moved to Chicago for graduate school. Kim celebrated her wedding in Novemeber 2015 and Erin was very happy to be a part of that day.

Kim Gutierrez

Friend of the groom - Max and Sam have known each other for a long time. They go way back to the days of grade school and little league baseball. Sam loves very few things more than the board game Catan and his golf game. He is currently working on lowering his handicap in the low double digits. Go get em Sambo! Gotta get that wheat!

Olivia and Erin met in 2013 when Erin moved to Chicago. They worked at Lululemon together and immediately&nbsp;bonded over Drake's&nbsp;Nothing Was The Same album. Even after leaving retail life,&nbsp;Olivia and Erin have remained friends and Olivia and her husband Jeremy have made made Summer trips up to Leland (fun fact: Jeremy proposed at Sleeping Beat Dunes!). The couples love to cook together and Jeremy and Max have become good friends over golf.&nbsp; Despite Max's refusal to go to the gym,&nbsp;the 4 of them refer to themselves as&nbsp;"the Fitfam". Erin and Max recently traveled to Antigua, Guatemala to attend Olivia and Jeremy's wedding.&nbsp;

Olivia Hodal

Friend of the groom - Nubby (aka AJ) and Max met in college. Where to start with nubz... first off he's a compulsive planner and probably would have this whole wedding finalized weeks ago. He still owes Max $500 for a new laptop which he spilled Kool-Aid on Sophomore year of college. But even after all that, they have stayed great friends. Feel free to make small talk about fantasy football with him, 50/50 chance he ends up on the floor throwing a tantrum. Oh btw, AJ just had his first child, Aubrey. Welcome to the world little nubby!
