Elizabeth & Erick
Wedding Party
Stephanie Merritt
Maid of Honor
Stephanie "Tootie" is Elizabeth's older sister. Although they are ten years' part they are closer than ever. They have been attached at the hip since Elizabeth could walk. Some of Elizabeth's fondest memories are doing different activities with her sister. When the two of them are together there is constant laughter and dancing to everyone's favorite throwback R&B songs. Elizabeth is extremely grateful to have such an amazing woman as her sister and could not imagine have anyone else standing by her side as she marries Erick.
Alexis Little
Matron of Honor
Elizabeth met Alexis in 2015 while Elizabeth was working at Soulcycle in Washington D.C. Alexis was a client and one day came up to Elizabeth and thanked her for the motivation given through class. After crying about it Elizabeth then went up to Alexis and thanked her for her kind words and they have been friends ever since.
Marcia Meade
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth met Marcia "Mar Mar" in 2013 while working at Soulcycle. At the time Elizabeth was working at the front desk and Marcia was an instructor. Mar Mar has the most amazing and contagious good energy. She is constantly keeping herself grounded and shares that feeling with everyone she meets. She quickly became like a sister to Elizabeth and would continually give her words of encouragement and motivation. They have maintained this beautiful friendship no matter the city or the distance between them.
Lai Lin Robinson
Bridesmaid
Lai Lin met Elizabeth in 2008 through a mutual friend. During Elizabeth 8 years in NYC Lai Lain was always there. They had many adventures together that always ended up with some great stories. From festivals in the city to nights out on the town, they did it all. They were apart of a great village of friends and young artists that spent the majority of their young adulthood growing up together. They share a special bond between the two of them.
Brittany Fleet
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth met Brittany they’re first day of high school. Brittany told Elizabeth within that first day that she had a feeling that they were going to be good friends. Brittany is a beautiful person who is always there for her friends and has been there for Elizabeth since that first day of high school in 2004. No matter how many cities they have moved to or how much distance there was between them they have managed to keep in touch with each other. Always checking in to make sure that they remember how great they are and how great they are destined to be.
Chiesa Mason
Bridesmaid
Chiesa (Chi) met Elizabeth in 2008 through fellow bridesmaid Brittany. Chi is one of the most loyal people that Elizabeth knows. Not only is she a friend to Elizabeth but she is like family. They had the opportunity to live in Washington D.C. at the same time. It was quite the adventure and they were so grateful to have each other during that time. When with Chi the laughs are endless and the Beyonce songs are sung as loud as possible.
Jason Evans
Groomsman
Erick met Jason on December 6, 1989. Jason is the unofficial CEO of Abbvie. Erick named Jason, and they have been conquering life ever since.
Mark Evans
Groomsman
Mark is and will always be my baby brother! I was there when he was born, and I have been there to shape and mold him into the young man his is now.
Jaamal Jennings
Groomsman
Erick and Jaamal know each other from FSU and PBM. Jaamal definitely adds laughter and excitement to this group. Jaamal is one of the smartest and quick-witted people I know. There are some wild stories never to be told. We have been to Coachella to Rio De Janeiro and back. I was crashing at his house in Washington, DC the night that I met Liz.
Christopher Seville
Groomsman
"Cadillac" as he is affectionately called is a true renaissance man. Erick and Christopher met while at FSU and have been working out, debating politics (which we do on a weekly basis. Lol) and having wild times ever since. Chris has always been a confidant to throw my wild ideas at, and he has been constant motivation to continue to work hard and never settle at being average. I am blessed to have him a part of my wedding.
Kevin Cyriaque
Groomsman
I met Kevin my Sophomore year while attending The Florida State University, and he may be the most level-headed out of the bunch. I have been lucky to have Kevin keeping tabs on me and we have had some interesting stories as well, from wild parties in Tallahassee to backpacking across Europe and South America. At some point Kevin transitioned from being a friend to being my third brother and I am honored to have him share a part in our day.
Darius Moore
Groomsman
There are not words to describe him and definitely not enough characters on this website. They say you can't pick your family but i'm happy to call him cousin, plain and simple. He has been a part of some of both my fondest memories,, and biggest challenges. We can go weeks without talking, and then pick up like we never left off. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about how great the summers were growing up, we would spend every day playing sports and getting into trouble.
