I met Christina through mutual friends 10+ years ago. I did not become close with Christina until after we hit it off at one of our annual golf outings and realized we had so much in common! Christina is the one person I can relate to on planet earth because our brains operate the same way. When I met Eric, Christina and our friend Danie were the first gal pals I spoke to about him. We were out for drinks on Bridge Street in Phoenixville and due to my nervous nature, Christina knew she had to coax me through this new found "love". Well - here we are! I can't think of a better person to marry my soulmate and I than her. Eric and I cherish our relationship with Christina and cannot wait to create this memory.

I met Kim at DUB C where we were both majoring in Criminal Justice. We quickly became close after realizing how much we had in common. Countless memories were made but the best times were traveling to Mexico. Ziplining, four-wheeling, snorkeling, and many other funny (and scary) moments were shared. My favorite memory is when Kim and her boyfriend Don gave me the biggest honor of godmother to their daughter Amelia. I can't imagine my life without Kim and I'm so excited to have her take her rightful place behind me when I marry Eric.

I met Taylor when we both worked at Philips. I didn't talk to Taylor too much until I was promoted to the same position she was in. We got to know each other more and found lots of mutual interests. My favorite memory with Taylor is when Eric, Taylor and I all went on a hike together in the Poconos. Unfortunately, we got lost after I convinced them we were going the correct way (PSA Jacki is NOT good with directions). While Eric's hips were breaking and I was complaining - Taylor remained calm, cool and collected (she was singing to herself the entire walk back to the car). We managed to get back to the car in one piece but it was a lengthy detour :) With this memory, I realized Taylor was someone that I saw in my life forever. I am beyond honored and excited to have Taylor stand up next to me on the biggest day of my life!

I met Sommer in the Criminal Justice club at WCU. Sommer is one of my most welcoming and caring friends I have ever had. This quickly showed when I first met her. We share so many memories together, including traveling to Kansas City (Missouri) for a nationals conference, Sommer's bachelorette in OCMD and countless more. My favorite memory with Sommer is shoving all 7 girls on her bachelorette trip into an uber. From that, I have now developed the nickname "Mama Llama". I am so honored to have Sommer stand next to me on my wedding day!

I also met Ally in the Criminal Justice club at WCU. Ally and I became closer as years passed but Ally was always someone I could count on. I share so many memories with Ally (including the 23 hour trip to Kansas). My favorite is when Ally dared a fellow bridesmaid to snort a margarita on Sommer's bachelorette. And you bet she did to earn that 20 bucks! I adore Ally and her sense of humor. I am so excited to have her part of this process!

Marika is one of my sister-in-laws whom is married to my brother Jon. When Jon first brought up Marika to Mama Kath and I - we realized Marika was something special. Obviously when everyone met - it was clear that Jon was the happiest he has ever been. As their relationship grew stronger - so did Marika and I's. I value Marika with how caring and loving she is to the people she loves. My favorite memories with Marika are all the times she beautified me with hair and makeup - including my engagement party. I am honored to have Marika stand up next to me!

Jacalyn is my sister-in-law whom is married to my brother Bob. When I first met Jacalyn - it was at a 30th surprise party for Jon. I knew Jacalyn was something special from the way Bob looked at her! Our relationship has grown stronger by the day. I value Jacalyn's work ethic and her perseverance to go after what she wants. My favorite memories with her include beach days in OCMD, family dinners and helping prep me for a career-changing interview. I am honored to have Jacalyn as a bridesmaid!

Rylee is Eric's niece and soon to be mine (officially by marriage)! She is such a sweetheart and a genuine caring soul. Eric and I are so blessed to be a part of this kids life and I couldn’t imagine not having her by my side on my wedding day!

Teagan is another niece of Eric's and soon to be mine (officially by marriage)! She is a loving and caring kid who loves spending time outdoors with her family. I like to think of her as an old soul who just beats to her own drum. Eric and I love being a part of her crazy adventure and I can’t wait to have her by my side on my wedding day!

Amelia is my goddaughter. I absolutely love spending time with her and her parents. She is growing so fast and I so wish time would slow down! Amelia is going to look adorable strutting down the aisle as Eric and I's flower girl!

Ms. Olivia is just a wee little newborn as this blurb is written BUT by the time the wedding is here she will be strutting her little self down that aisle! Eric and I adore this little munchkin like our own and love that the family keeps on growing!

Mikey is Eric and I's nephew. He is the most smiley baby and Aunt Jacki and Uncle Eric love every moment with him. While he is only 7 months when writing this blurb - Mikey will be more than ready to walk down the aisle as the ring security!

Jonny boy is a friend of both Eric and I's but I met him first through his wife Ally. While Jon, Ally and I all worked at the jail together - we didn't become close friends until after they started dating. Jon has always been the funniest guy in the room and can make anyone smile if they’re having a bad day! My favorite thing Jon does is greet me with "JACKAAAAAY!" every time I walk in the room. He will be the flower beer man so be prepared for laughs and drinks during the ceremony!

I've known Sean from the sandbox. Cheers, fella.

My nephew; Mike's son. He has two people who will be screaming from courtside when he's playing basketball. Chase is the luckiest for that.

Sometimes you meet your best friends in the cafeteria of a community college. Meeting Brad, and his twin brother, Jeff, was the best thing that could've happened to me when I transferred from West Virginia to Delaware. To this day, he is one of the most incredibly smart, and talented people I've had the pleasure of knowing.

Jeff was the person I spoke to before I proposed to Jacki. I saw him at Trolley Tap House before we left to Western Pennsylvania. He explained to me that there isn't a certain way or time to do it, you just have to know it's right. It's so simple, but thank you, Jeff. You kicked me in the right direction and I made a wonderful decision.

One of the most matter-of-fact people you'll ever know. Chris isn't just a former roommate; he is a dear friend from college. It's likely that I'll pick some music out of his selection for the wedding. You'll know it, because it won't be country. That's from Jacki.

To this day, I don't think about Jon without hearing, 'shut up, Eric.' He and Bob welcomed me into their family almost immediately. Jon has a sense of humor that makes a room feel light. He just didn't think a New York Jets Aaron Rodgers jersey was funny.

Bob welcomed me with Jon as soon as Jacki and I began dating. When it came to asking him permission to propose to Jacki, he was so relaxed about it, and I was anxious. He is the oldest of the Hogga Brothers. He is also the Eagles fan.

Anthony has been a dear friend of mine for over 6 years. Once I brought Eric around - the both of them hit it off quickly! Ant has been a huge part of my support system and I can't imagine life without this break-dancing, funny and charming guy! Keep an eye out on the dance floor because this dude will be bustin' a move!
