Erica & Aaron
Wedding Party
Ashley Andrew
Maid of Honor
Erica's younger sister, Theta sister, former twirling duet partner and kindred spirit! Long before she existed, Erica dreamed and incessantly nagged her parents about having a sister. Ashley filled that role and has given Erica so much to laugh, smile and cry about as her incredibly proud big sister. As a semi-professional organizer and suitcase packer, Ashley has helped to keep chaos at bay leading up to many trips, baton competitions (she only forgot one of Erica's costumes over the years) and moving days. She's kept Erica laughing for 28 years and will surely pay as much attention to Erica's train as she does to the stickers left on the fruit in a fruit bowl.
Adria Verrocchi
Matron of Honor
The rare, selfless friend everyone deserves to have! After meeting at their kindergarten graduation (when both wore the same stylish dress), Erica and Adria parted ways. A year or so later, they met again in a dance class and soon joined the same baton twirling team. A friendship that was meant to be soon began! Whether bonding throughout the awkward and goofy times of middle and high school, judging countless New England twirling competitions together or sharing the excitement of new chapters of their lives, this duo will surely last a lifetime.
Giselle Cardona
Bridesmaid
A kinder soul you'll never meet! Affectionately known as "Google" (named before Google.com existed), Giselle and Erica have been jamming to 90s hits, repeatedly watching horrible movies from the early 2000s and twirling together since elementary school. Google has been a constant, purely positive force in Erica's life and is a truly treasured friend. Recently, she's served as inspiration for Erica and Aaron's home improvement projects, as she transforms her house in Florida all on her own! Giselle is a breath of fresh air and a constant reminder of all the good there is in the world!
Jessica Delisi
Bridesmaid
Erica's first friend, dancing school partner and cutest little cousin in the whole wide world! Whether they were posing for pictures in frilly white dresses and oversized hair bows or singing oldies for their family at the lake, Jess and Erica were inseparable as children. Though space and time have limited their face time together over the years, Jess will always remain a previous and invaluable presence in Erica's life. Erica and Aaron can't wait to watch her daughter Lalia steal the show as their flower girl!
Samantha Bucci
Bridesmaid
The long time reigning baby girl of the Andrew/Legendre/Bucci/Delisi Family! While Lalia, may have ousted Samantha from her 15 year reign as the family's sweetheart, her laugher and kind heart will forever shine through. Erica has always adored Samantha's quiet power, both on the tackle football field as she showed the boys who's boss, and on stage as she sings her heart out. Samantha's passion for life is infectious and uplifting! Gentlemen, fair warning from her overprotective cousin: This lady is a stunning, underaged gem.
Michelle Chon-Knox
Bridesmaid
The extroverted introvert who lights up a room! Michelle has been in nearly every elementary, middle school and high school picture, memory and event that shaped Erica's life. From adolescent pranks, to French class debauchery, Michelle has always loosened Erica up and evoked so much joy. During the most formative years of Erica's teenage life, Michelle was there with confidence, gossip and kindness. Living hundreds of miles away may lessen the time they spend together, but Michelle always shows her consideration and care for her friends' lives and experiences and shares adorable pictures of Baby Peter!
Nick Larberg
Bridesman
One of Erica's first friends at Tulane and former marching bandmate! Affectionately known as "Big Tuna," Nick showed Erica the ropes (and the bars) during her time in New Orleans. From Erica's first week of college, when he and Eric grabbed Erica's college ID and shoes and dragged her out of her room from a night of studying, Nick has kept Erica laughing. Known for his shenanigans (scaling the roof of a church, sneaking into buildings after hours, and narrating an epic search for a dromedary camel) and for his ability to bring life and positivity to any situation, Nick always brings the fun!
Eric Wilder
Bridesman
A true confidant, outstanding friend and hilarious dance floor partner! Eric's shoulder shimmy is matched only by his incredible mind, thoughtfulness and care for his friends and family. After meeting at band camp, Eric went on to show Erica what balance could look like in college (something she sorely needed as an uptight Northerner). Erica spent countless nights watching Nick and Eric play video games, binge watching The Office and shopping at American Eagle with Eric. This trio explored Eric's hometown of Abu Dhabi and made their mark in New Orleans together.
Scott Clements
Best Man
Aaron's younger brother, a journeyman of the outdoors who has traveled the country before his latest adventure has landed him in Washington, DC. Growing up, Scott and Aaron shared a room, many mutual interests, and a knack for accelerating the gray hairs for their mother through brotherly bickering. Aaron is still the better basketball player.
Wade Clements
Best Man
Aaron's older brother, who laid the path for what to do, and what not to do, with Lana and Paul. Wade has always possessed a love for history and carving his own path, and has an independence always admired by Aaron. Despite Wade's insistent deferral of Aaron's interests growing up, the two have always shared a brotherly bond tied to love of family, with Wade nobly playing the role of "Big Brother".
Perry Mullins
Groomsman
Having met at Ohio State, Perry served as a gateway to Aaron's immersion in Ohio State culture in addition to being a worthy wingman who's medaled many times over. To repay the favor, Aaron introduced Perry to his wife, and they live in his hometown of Eugene, OR. Can't make it up. An even trade.
Danny Zehr
Groomsman
A mix between Will Hunting/Chuckie Sullivan and Mike McD and "Worm", Danny and Aaron have long-bonded over sports, music, and other adolescent riff-raff. Although having been separated by 2500+ miles for nearly 10 years, they resort back to their middle school selves if/whenever possible.
Marcus Baxter
Groomsman
Stunningly, Aaron has spent the better half of his life knowing Marcus Baxter, and is far better off for it. Meeting one another on the first day of sixth grade, Aaron and Marcus have navigated many rites of passages together, some of which their parents may regret. In exchange for his role as groomsman, Marcus has agreed to teach Aaron's first-born the buttonhook-blossom route.
Nick Barfell
Groomsman
Aaron's cousin, who served as a 7-year tour guide throughout his time in New York City. Even though their friendship progressed over many subway rides and Central Park runs, Nick was also responsible for Aaron's hefty fashion/restaurant budget. There are no regrets.
Jim Conlon
Groomsman
Oversaw Aaron's time at Anomaly, prior to his foray into teacher. Jim, a lifelong New Yorker had every right to fire Aaron after a week on the job, but let him stick around for nearly three years worth of conversation, advice and guidance. Aaron is still trying to "stay focused".
Trenton Gaucher
Groomsman
Aaron's future brother-in-law! Aaron owes Trenton many thanks for his assistance in the navigation of the Andrew family, and looks forward to many years of charcuterie boards and Titanic viewing parties.
Lalia Delisi
Flower Girl
Arguably the most adorable member of the Andrew/Legendre/Bucci/Delisi clan, Lalia is know for stealing the show and lighting up the room. In her first gig as a flower girl, she will surely make her parents, Jessica (Erica's cousin and bridesmaid) and Al, proud. Erica and Aaron can't wait to watch Lalia's smile bring joy to their special day!
Leon Baxter
Ring Bearer
Leon is the first child of groomsman Marcus Baxter, one of Aaron's oldest friends. Leon is already well-spoken in Ancient Greek Mythology and may be the youngest Raiders fan in America. He will certainly strut down the aisle with unbridled confidence, and "work the knees" on the dancefloor at the reception. Like Father, Like Son.
