I have known Maria since we were 15! We first met sophomore year of high school - I was super shy and quiet and she was loud and bubbly. We became instant best friends, balancing each other out perfectly. Eleven years later, nothing has changed and I can't wait to see her walk down the aisle to Mike!

I am Maria’s youngest sister. Maria has always been my go to for everything. From sharing a room in our childhood to endless FaceTime calls, we have made so many incredible memories together. I am so lucky to be able to call her a best friend, role model, and big sister. I am so excited to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life!

I am Maria’s younger sister! I feel so lucky to have Maria as a big sister and best friend! Maria never fails to put a smile on my face. She truly lights up any room she is in with her contagious smile and infectious laugh. I can’t wait to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life!

I’m Maria’s oldest sister! I was lucky enough to witness Maria and Mike get engaged on the slopes and have really seen their love grow. I cannot wait to watch Maria walk down the aisle as a beautiful bride and to see their love story continue to unfold!

Christine is Maria’s sister closest in age to her, only 17 months apart. Sometimes mistaken as twins growing up, Maria and Christine were always together. You could find them playing on the same soccer and basketball teams or making endless amounts of friendship bracelets and crafts with string, gimp, and beads. During summer, they loved boating and double kneeboarding and seeing who could last on the tube longer. As adults, their competitive spirits and crafty natures are still reinforcing their sisterhood and friendship through the shared love of snow skiing, soccer, (Christmas) cookie baking, photography, and reminiscing on old family memories. Christine is so excited to stand by Maria and Mike on their wedding day and beyond!

I am Maria’s sister in law married to her older brother Anthony. I have been lucky enough to have known Maria for many years. We have shared many memories together on ski trips, at the beach and on the bay. We have celebrated many milestones together over the years including birthdays, graduations and Maria and Mike’s engagement this past January. Maria is the best sister and friend and I couldn’t be happier to stand by her side on her wedding day!

Maria and I met in the fall of 2017 at the Clark’s annual thanksgiving bonfire. At the time I was dating Maria’s brother, Tommy. Maria was so friendly and welcoming from the day we met! Shortly after, Maria and I became great friends! In 2021 Maria’s brother Tommy proposed to me, making Maria and I sisters! I was honored to have Maria by my side as I said “I do” and I can’t wait to stand by hers! The love Maria and Mike have for one another is so special and anyone who is in the same room as them can see their happiness. I am so excited to celebrate Maria and Mike!!

I am Mike’s youngest sister! We have met a handful of times and I love you more and more each time. I can’t wait to be your future sister in law, and I love the sound of that! I am a very happy sister because Maria makes my brother smile a way I have never seen before in my life!

Maria is my cousin but she seems more like a sister! We have been best friends since we were little. From vacations at Myrtle Beach to sleepovers at the bay we have always had so much fun together; always laughing hysterically wherever we are! I am so honored to be standing next to Maria on her big day and cannot wait to see Maria and Mike’s love continue to grow!

Maria is my twin cousin because our birthdays are only 4 days apart. We use to play basketball, soccer, run track, and even cheerlead together. I am so thankful to have Maria in my life as we have shared many memories growing up together. I am so honored to be there to support Maria and Mike on their special day. 

Maria and I met at Coastal Carolina University and have been best friends since. We also played on the club soccer team together. Although we live states away from each other now every time we’re together it’s like no time has passed at all. Maria is one of the goofiest people I know and always puts the biggest smile on my face. I’m beyond excited to see what her future looks like with Mike by her side.

Mike is my only and oldest brother. Growing up we had our differences, but we were always the best of friends. From playing Football after school to the neighborhood sized airsoft war, we were inseparable and always had each other's backs. I am excited to have his back once more and stand beside him on his and Maria's wedding day, and many years more!

I am Mike's sister's boyfriend. I first met Mike 5 years ago when me and his sister, Carrie, brought me over food for the first time. As soon as I met Mike and realized that our energetic personalities were almost identical, I knew we would have an amazing friendship. Mike has been a blessing in my life and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for Mike and Maria!

I am the brides oldest brother.

I am the brides brother

I am the brides brother in-law.

Mike's ability to handle difficult situations have made him a perfect fit to the Clark siblings and significant others (and fight the actual fires too)! It's a blessing to find someone to spend life with, so it's an honor to welcome Mike to the family as he and Maria wed in one of the most beautiful events in a persons life. The Kerlin's adding Maria to the family is a blessing in it's own. Can't wait to celebrate you all!

I am Maria’s younger sister, Nicole’s boyfriend. Mike & I met shortly after he started dating Maria. Immediately after noticing the unending laughter that they shared, I knew they were meant for each other. Mike and I quickly grew closer while spending time together at Clark family gatherings and in Myrtle Beach by sharing our stories & best jokes. I am honored to stand by his while he commits to endless love & laughter with Maria.

My relationship with Mike is very special to me because he was one of my first white friends I ever made when I moved to America! I have grown up with the Kerlin family and they have treated me with nothing but love! I still remember the time when Mr. Kerlin blamed me for mike getting a motorcycle, but hey what can I say. That's what friends are for. Even though Mike live in Myrtle Beach now, my love for him as a brother will always be there! I am just glad to call you one of my closest friends! Congratulations!

The first time I met mike was sophomore year. Ryan introduced me to him prior to learning how to play lacrosse. This was a time I could barely speak English. Mike, Ryan, Vish and Jeff have all become a major part of my life and are like family. Mike and I have formed a friendship that will last a lifetime.

Mike and I met while we were in junior high. We attended Winston Campus in Palatine Illinois. H was one of the first friends I made after moving to a new school. It was a tough transition, but I was lucky to have met someone as easy to be around as Mike. Mike is always there when you need him and is the epitome of a true friend. I will always remember and cherish the experiences growing up together. I'm sure when we both have more time, we will continue our high school shenanigans as adults. It's just a matter of where and how.
