Cori & Eric
Wedding Party
Katie Carmona
Bridesmaid
Katie and I go way back to 1994 when I was a wee little baby. Over the years we have become more than sisters, we have become friends. We made it through hair pulling and wardrobe wars. We've bonded during road trips and watching many chick flicks. I've been her "basement bodyguard", and she was my "high school way-maker." We have been able to share the joys and difficulties of adulthood. And thankfully even after all those times of not exactly seeing eye to eye, I am so excited she’ll be there see me through this next step of life. Love ya Kate! Can't wait to party with you!
Kassie Carmona
Bridesmaid
Kassie-bo-bassie and I go back to '96. This chica is the most artistic, eclectic, thoughtful, creative girlie I have ever known. Her badassery mixed with her impeccable taste is always blowing me away! Kassie, I am so excited that you will be standing by my side on my wedding day! You are such a gift! Love you so much and you are def my favorite little sis.
Mary Schmidt
Bridesmaid
Mary and Cori go way back to first grade where they met at White Pines Academy. As they’ve gotten older, they’ve become songwriters and creatives and have been there for each other through highs and lows for 20 years.
Cristina Ballestero
Bridesmaid
Cristina and Cori met at John Paul the Great Catholic University. Cristina introduced Cori to Praise & Worship music and has been such a light to Cori’s spiritual life!
Will Hickl
Best Man
Eric met Will met a decade ago while playing music for young adult volunteers (Mercy Crew) at a conference (Steubenville on the Bayou) and after connecting with one another through their love of faith and music, they became fast friends. Will took the lead inviting Eric to start a band and thus their band NOVUM was born. It's taken many shapes and forms that have included some amazing and talented members and has led to the evolution of a community of artists through NOVUM RECORDS. Will and Eric continue working with artists and making music to this day. Along the way have had some great adventures around the globe, the greatest one eventually leading to Will's lovely bride Rebekah. It will be an honor for Eric to have Will stand as his best man on he and Cori's special day!
Zach Miller
Bestest Mensch
Eric and Zach met in 5th grade when Zach asked if I wanted to ride bikes and the rest is history. Zach pulled Eric out of his shell and extended the invitation to more deeply discover a relationship with Jesus, music, and friendship. Eric and Zach went on to start multiple bands -- Shorts in January, Temporary ID (a Christian screamo band), Sgt Peppers (2nd place Denham Springs High School Battle of the Bands Winners), Nebraska's Finest, and Uncle Cunningham to name a few -- and later on reconnected on holidays. They've seen each other through the awkwardness of middle school, the ups and downs of high school and been present as they've both moved into adulthood. It will be such a gift to Eric to have Zach stand with him on Cori and Eric's wedding day!
Greg Boudreaux
Groomsman
Eric and Greg had heard legends of one another through mutual friends until one faithful day when they finally had an unplanned run in with one another at a Camp Covecrest in Georgia. From there, they ran into one another at different gigs until Greg was kind enough to invite Eric to play music with him at some of his gigs. Over the years, Greg, and his wife Lizzy, have been wonderful friends and confidants through life's ups and downs. Eric greatly admires Greg and is looking forward to having him stand with him on his wedding day.
James Rosenbloom
Groomsman
James and Eric met through mutual friends and over the years have traveled all over the country playing music and sharing life with one another. James and his family have been such witnesses of faith, hope and endurance and he has been a great encouragement to Eric throughout the years. After having been blessed to have stood with James on his wedding day, Eric is looking forward to having James stand with him on his special day.
Patrick Williams
Groomsman
Eric and Patrick met playing music with Greg at a festival in Covington and were fast friends. Patrick was certainly a kindred spirit and was someone who was able to connect through music, humor, and good conversations. Over the years, Patrick has been a great friend and example of joy and authenticity to Eric. It will be an honor to have Patrick stand with Eric on his wedding day.
