Wedding Party
Erika Terry
Maid of Honor
Erika is the sister of Eden and the first person who knew about our relationship! She is a best friend to both of us. Erika says " if you would have told me 15 years in our hot pink shared bedroom that we’d be as close as we are today, i’d never believe you. she is my best friend, confidant, & the most genuine person i know. 3 years ago when we sat on the bathroom floor painting our toe nails as she told me about Jacob, I knew she was going to marry him. She just said “Sissy, there’s something about him”. Jacob has not only become my new brother but a lifetime friend. There is no one else I could choose better to spend their life with my sister. I love you both & I am honored to be a part of your big day. Through thick & thin, your little sissy forever🤍 ”

He has always been right by my side through all of life’s ups and downs.

I am very glad that he has found Eden to spend the rest of his life with. They compliment each other perfectly and I know they will have a wonderful life together.

Shelby is our sister in law. She is the wife of Jacobs brother & our best man, Benjamin. Shelby is also the mother to Adrian and Turner, our sweetest ring bearers. Shelby says " I’ve known Jacob for almost 10 years, ever since his brother and I started dating. He is such a thoughtful, caring person with a huge heart, and he has been like a little brother to me over the years. A little while after Jacob and Eden started talking, he started to tell us about her, and I was just so excited for him - I could tell he really really liked her. But little did I know, I would not only soon be meeting an amazing friend, but I would also be getting the sister I never had. Even though we’ve only known each other for a couple of years, Eden has quickly become one of my best friends, and she is someone I know I can always count on to be there for me. She is one of the kindest, most compassionate people you will ever meet, and I’m lucky to call her my friend. I am so excited for both Jacob and Eden as they enter this new season of their lives together. I wish them a whole lifetime of love and happiness - they both truly deserve nothing less!”

Joseph says " Jacob has been one of the most impactful people in my life over the last couple of years that I have known him and I am so thankful for our friendship. Jacob and I have been friends for a couple of years now and he somehow dragged me to the finish line of nursing school. Jacob was my closest friend throughout college and has been there for me through and toughest and best moments the past few years. We are the same age but I look up to him in a lot of ways and I am forever grateful for our bond over Cici’s. He is one of the most giving people that I know and never expects anything in return and is like another brother to me. I’m super excited to be apart of his special day and can’t thank him enough for our friendship”
Jazmin Kernstine
Bridesmaid
Jazmin is the childhood best friend of Eden. She has always been the most genuine person, from first boyfriends, to bad fashion choices together, to the big girl lives we've always dreamed of. Jazmin says " Eden and I first met back in our competitive cheer era and I knew from that moment forward that we were going to be friends for life. From glitter eyeliner & lips for cheer, to flat ironing our hair to no end, to more sleepovers than I could ever count and the hilarious memories from those times, pranking Charles, math classes in high school, being one of my favorite clients + hair models, to being a bridesmaid in my wedding, to me standing by your side on one of the most special days & hopefully so many more life experiences! I’m beyond thankful to have a friend like Eden, there is truly no one like her” Xoxo Jazz

I’m proud that I have been able to grow up with Jacob and I can’t wait to watch him and Eden continue to grow together in this next chapter of their lives. Love you, Jacob!”
Abbey White
Bridesmaid
Abbey is the high school best friend of Eden! We have been through every phase of life together but for some reason, God always leads us back to our friendship. Abbey says " Eden and I met when we were in high school. At the time her boyfriend and my boyfriend were friends, so we started to hangout as well. Needless to say, those boyfriends didn’t work out, but our friendship did! If you can make it through high school and college as friends then you can make it through just about anything. You name it, we have probably been through it. No matter what happened in our lives, we always remained strong in our friendship. Eden has been there for me through the high school drama, relationship drama and every life crisis along the way. She has helped me get through so many things in life. She is resilient, independent, caring, loving, strong, encouraging, supportive, the list could go on. Everyone needs a friend like her. We have grown from high schoolers into women and now into wives! I couldn’t be more happy that she has found her forever person. Eden deserves all the happiness in this world. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her and Jacob. Cheers to the Juarez’s!”

We have instantly bonded and formed lasting memories through countless study sessions, shopping trips, random day trips, and graduating together as Registered Nurses! Not to mention Jacob becoming the younger brother I never had and never knew I needed. I am honored to be a bridesmaid and I am thrilled to celebrate the union of one of my favorite duos! Much love, Trina”

From sports in his childhood years, to piano, and band in high-school. On to his nursing degree, and now a nurse. No matter what stage of life he was in I always saw him give it his best. Once he set his mind on doing something he followed through with it. Now it’s great to see that he has found the person who makes him complete in Eden, and I’m so proud that they have asked me to be a part of their special day as they become one. Wishing you two the best in your new journey together. "

Wendy Terry
Mother of the Bride
Wendy says “ I remember looking at Eden on the day she was born and thinking “what a beautiful little doll”. Even then, she had the flawless skin and sculpted brows that perfectly frame her face. She was so tiny that the outfits we brought to the hospital swallowed her.( I had to go out and buy premie clothes). As I held her in my arms, she looked at me and gave me a little smile. I knew then and there that I would be blessed to be one of her closest people. It has been my greatest honor to be one of Edie’s parents, to watch her grow, become stronger and more independent every year. She is an amazing and resilient person. Eden has tenacity and drive that are second to none. I am beyond delighted that she has found a mate that sees her worth, values her as a person and is a fierce advocate. I hope that God blesses their union and that they have limitless happiness. ”

Carlton Terry
Father of the Bride
Carlton says “I have had the pleasure of watching Eden from the day of her birth until she blossomed into the talented, smart, funny, beautiful and determined woman she has become. She has shown time and again how she can push aside any obstacle and achieve whatever she sets her mind to doing. The twinkle in her eye when she started dating Jacob gave me a thrill. His calm, steady demeanor is the perfect counterpoint to Eden when she is on a mission. His wry sense of humor makes me laugh. They complement each other in the best way. It is my joy to welcome him and his family to ours. I wish Eden and Jacob all the best.”
