Erica and Kent
Maids and Men
Abby Check
Matron of Honor
Abby is Erica’s lifelong friend—they’ve known each other since before they were born thanks to their parents’ friendship. They went to the same school from preschool through 4th grade, had countless sleepovers, spent fun summer days in the pool, and even once pretended to have chickenpox just so they could stay home from school and play together.
Will Chowanec
Best Man
Will and Kent met while serving together in the Marines from 2014–2018 in Hawaii. Their shared experiences—sleeping in the jungle, blowing things up for practice, and sharing beers on their days off—created a lifelong bond. They still look back on those years with appreciation and plenty of laughter.
Baylie Saunders
Bridesmaid
Baylie is Erica's future sister-in-law (Jared's fiancé), and one of her good friends. From the start, Erica felt an instant connection with her. They love bonding over the fact that both Kent and Jared golf together, share plenty of funny moments, and enjoy watching their dogs and little Charlotte play together.
Jared Bronstein
Groomsman
Jared is Erica’s brother, and Kent connected with him instantly thanks to their similar goofy personalities. They love cracking jokes at family dinners—because what’s a good dinner without a few laughs? Around the same time, they both got into golf and have been hitting the course together ever since.
Allison Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Allison is a dear family friend of Kent’s whom Erica met when she and Kent started dating. They’ve been friends ever since. Whenever Allison visits from Oregon, her board game skills are so good that Erica is always plotting to break her winning streak.
Kyle Munoz
Groomsman
Kyle is Kent’s older brother and currently works as a wildland firefighter in Idaho. The two share a deep commitment to serving their communities. Growing up, Kent always looked up to Kyle, often seeking his advice and guidance. As the oldest of four brothers, Kyle has always been a role model and a lifelong companion to Kent.
Abigail Isacoff
Bridesmaid
Erica met Abigail right after high school on a Birthright trip to Israel. They were the only two from Las Vegas and quickly became inseparable—always rooming together, riding the same camel, and helping each other climb to the top of Masada. They were two peas in a pod then, and 10 years later, they’re still the very best of friends.
Timothy Hitzman
Groomsman
Tim and Kent have worked closely together for the past three years. Both Marines, they have built a strong bond through countless police operations, always having each other’s backs.
Emma Canales
Bridesmaid
Emma was Erica and Kent’s neighbor, and they happened to be pregnant at the same time—just a few weeks apart. Their children ended up being born a day apart and have been inseparable ever since. Emma and Erica love sharing stories about their kids during evening walks, and after going through the same nine months together, it was only natural for them to become such close friends.
Kevin Canales
Groomsman
Kevin was once their neighbor, and his son was born just one day before their daughter. Kevin and Kent work in the same field and have enjoyed watching their children grow up together. They also share a passion for serving their communities—and for unwinding over a few drinks and a round of golf.
Charlotte Bailar
Flower Girl
Charlotte "Charlie" is Erica and Kent's beautiful daughter. At just two years old, she’s full of personality and a whole lot of sass. A true daddy’s girl, Charlotte loves swimming, story time, and absolutely adores every dog she meets. She has a natural gift for being the center of attention—whether she’s making people laugh with her goofy antics or charming everyone with her big smile. A funny story about Charlotte... after hearing her parents call each other “babe,” she now uses it for both of them as well. Charlotte is a joyful, happy spirit, and is sure to light up the aisle on the big day!
