Eric Derachio Jackson - Syracuse, NY

MAN!!! Hernz and I are both so so so similar. Kind hearts, love meeting and hearing people’s stories, are completely and ridiculously silly, and will talk with any and everyone. And so our friendship has been one of constant fun and laughter. We always push each other to be our best selves and we can go from straight jokes to deep philosophical conversations. Quite literally two peas in a pod when we are together and it’s a friendship that lights up the room when we enter! Some people might say “don’t walk across Syracuse’s campus with us,” but I would argue and say it will be a fun adventure… just make sure you budgeted an extra hour to get to your destination (LOL!)

Seeing Hernz get to live out one of the many, happiest days of his life in becoming one with his person. I cannot think of a more deserving man to be joined with a life partner and I am so excited for the love, joy, and growth that this union will have on the world. You don’t meet too many Hernz’s in a lifetime and it will be amazing to see my dawg so happy! I am hoping to see some tears out of him! (I don’t ever think I have seen Hernz cry come to think of it!)

You know better than I do because you are so patient and loving, but remember to be patient with one another. Unity with your partner is not about how many days are perfect and just like the day you both fell in love, but rather the growth – the journey of you two consistently getting closer to one another, and together closer to God. And so remember to keep your faith in him and know that he won’t bring you to any situation that you both cannot arise from. But that does not mean there will not be tough days, heart breaks, challenges, and anything else in God’s will. But it is through his will that your union will grow stronger and your love will triumph!
