Wedding Party

Angie Sanfillippo

Co-Maid of Honor

Eyrica and I met in middle school when we both joined Lou Fusz Soccer Club. Our friendship started because of a “fued” over who got jersey #10. We quickly learned our levels of crazy and stubbornness were equal, so we compromised by splitting two different jersey numbers for games. Hence, why you will hear me referred to as her “Italian twin” despite us quite literally looking nothing alike. E & I are very much alike in our craziness, personality, ADHD, and values. In high school, our day usually started with a “get in loser we’re going shopping”, a car jam sesh to our favorite band The Summer Set, and trying on homecoming dresses at the mall. Now as adults, I got the privilege to watch Eyrica say “yes to THE dress”! We have always been inseparable, even after months of not talking (long distance friendship) it’s like no time has passed when we’re get together. Eyrica and I have been through every up and down, failure and victory, and of course every boy😆…. We were in it together for all of it! It is an absolute honor to stand by my best friend’s side on her big day!🤍

Hello! I'm Eyrica's college best friend, also affectionately called MèiMei by hers truly. I met Eyrica in 2017 when she first started her journey in pursing nursing at Belmont University in Nashville. From late nights studying at my house to studying in Target, I helped pushed Eyrica to get through some of the hardest times and beginning steps in her career. While we live apart and it's hard to visit, we always make time for each other and we're only one call away. It has been so amazing being by Eyrica's side and watching her grow into the woman she is now and I am proud to stand by my JiěJiě on her big day.

Anthony and I met in middle school, as friends of a friend, and before long we were always together - our house became a second home. Over the years lots of people have moved in and out of my life, but even though we've lived apart for over a decade, he's always made an effort to stay a part of it.

Hello! I met Eyrica in nursing school at Missouri Baptist University. We spent endless hours studying in her apartment and used giant white board more than anything - she even had a small one to bring when we would study at a cafe or restaurant (so ruthless)! We were always first to partner up for any project or check off skills with our other friends. We still dream about pursuing more education and going back to school together because anything is possible when we're together. From texting about rough nights, spontaneously getting breakfast after a long shift, and planning play-dates for the guys, we always have an amazing time together. Now we get to have an unforgettable night celebrating Eyrica and Anthony and I can't wait!

"Anthony and I go way back but really started being good friend over COVID spending countless hours playing D&D, games, or just being around for one another. We met in Fargo, I watch his cat for like 18 months, and we are good buds!"

Bridesmaid

Hi! I was one of Eyrica's first friends when she started nursing school at Missouri Baptist University. We quickly grew close and did our first head-to-toe assessment together. We spent so much time together with her white boards, quizzes, and perfect color coded study guides while having fun and making "interesting" connections for class. What started as study buddies became a close friendship that has allowed us to be together through some of the hardest challenges and the greatest victories. Getting to know Anthony has been so fun and watching their love grow from the hardships of nursing school to balancing her career on night shift and their family has been so amazing and I'm so happy to stand by them on their special day.

Bridesmaid

Hi everyone!! My name is Kirsten, and I met Eyrica when she started working at St. Luke’s. We quickly became really good work friends, but after one wild night at Olive Garden we also became best friends. I believe the first time I met Anthony is when he came to celebrate New Year’s Eve with Eyrica at work. He brought us all sparkling cider and brownies. You could tell just how much they loved each other. I cannot wait to stand beside them on their wedding day, and watch their love grow even more.

"I met Eyrica in our freshman year of college in a haunted house in our dorms, and we've been friends ever since. From late night adventures at the Parthenon in Nashville to roads trips to visit each other, we've made sure we're there for each other. When she started dating Anthony, I could see that he made her the happiest she could be. The first time I met Anthony was when they both came to Nashville to visit. Playing Super Smash Brothers SEEMED like a great idea until he broke the joystick on one of my controllers... (I forgive you, anyway). I still can't wait to see what lies ahead for these two amazing people I call my friends."
