Wedding Party
McKenzie Merry
Maid of Honor
1. How do you know the bride? I know the bride from Chiropractic college! We bonded over a love of brunch, purse snacks, & wine tasting! 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the bride? I have two! One was when we went wine tasting at Testarossa (one of many visits) and after we decided to go try on engagement rings at a jeweler in town. I felt a little less crazy sending my boyfriend, now husband, pictures of engagement rings I wanted with Erica by my side! Another is when we went to the Professional Bull Riding rodeo in San Jose with my parents. We started the day drinking on CalTrain, got autographs from the bull riders, and ended it riding the mechanical bull at the Old Pro!
Nick Kehriotis
Best Man
We met at the University of Oregon through joining the same fraternity. We had just had “bid night” the night prior and ended up getting lunch together the next day; and that is where I met my future best man. After having 20 brothers in our initial pledge class, only 3 actually stuck it out through 4 years in college, let alone more than 1 and we are all going to be in each other’s weddings. Since then, we have built a Fraternity together, traveled the world, run multiple 10k’s in the mud, grown our love of culinary and wine appreciation, rooted for our favorite sports teams (go Kings!), and supported each other through the best of times and the bumps along the way.

Bridesmaid
1. How do you know the bride? Math class 9th grade, we spent the year passing notes and coloring in graph paper. 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the bride? Erica convinced me to do track because “you could lay on the grass and tan”. It was not long after that we self appointed ourselves as team captains, subjected the whole team to an Erica and Candice made soundtrack, and of course, we redesigned the whole team uniform (zebra print booty short spandex). Erica and I support each other’s “genius” ideas. She’s my other half that’s always willing to go on adventures; it’s how we ended up at awkward time share meetings in Mexico, baking cakes (and eating them in entirety) at 2 in the morning, and running down the highway barefoot chasing my dog. She’s the hype girl everyone needs in their lives, and I can’t wait for all our future ideas that are yet to come to fruition.

1. How do you know the groom? We met at a toga party freshman year of college and since then he became my fraternity brother, roommate, and partner in crime. 2. What is your favorite story/most memorable moment with the groom? One of my favorite memories is how we would always take the “heel-toe express” back home together after a night out. Most of the time I would drop him off at Erica’s house on the way. Other favorites would be floating the river in the summer in Eugene with the two of them.

Bridesmaid
1. How do you know the bride? I have known Erica since we were 5! She is my longest friend - from daycare to middle school to college. 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the bride? It’s hard to narrow down my favorite memories with Erica because there have been so many. One of my favorites would easily be my first staying up all night sleep over in middle school. We watched movies, ate junk food, talked with our friends all night and then had stomach aches all the next day. The other favorite would probably be going to Vegas on our spring break senior year of college - Erica and I just danced around all weekend

1. How do you know the groom? I met Anthony through our fraternity Phi Delta Theta. 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the groom? My favorite memory with Anthony is when he took me to an Oakland Raiders game. It was the best time because it was at the most beautiful stadium (Oakland Coliseum). We actually ended up winning the game, but it was preseason so it didn’t count. Just like the Raiders, Anthony and I have a commitment to excellence in regards to our friendship.

Bridesmaid
1. How do you know the bride? Erica and I were sorority sisters in college! We met on Bid Day our sophomore year and immediately hit it off. We then lived together our junior and senior years of college. 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the bride? My favorite memory with Erica was when I visited her in San Francisco a couple years after college and had the best long weekend doing all the tourist-y things in surprisingly good weather. The best part was participating in Bay to Breakers and dressing up and bopping around the city together, reunited with my college bestie. This was so much fun that we repeated it another year!

1. How do you know the groom? High school 2. What is your favorite story/memorable moment with the groom? During our sophomore year at Aragon, we were Hillsdale in our ast game of the season and Anthony was the QB. He threw the game winning touchdown pass to me from like the 5 yard line on a fade route that would end up being my only touchdown of my 3 years of high school football. Another one of my favorites was at EDC and I decided to go back to the hotel early on the first day to save my energy for the next day. When I got back to the suite, it was dead quiet and I thought I was alone in the room and used the time to tidy up a bit. When I walked into the bathroom, I saw someone lying down inside the bath tub with couch cushions, and as I approached, it was Anthony. He just looked up at me, mumbled something, and went back to sleep. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who needed to go back early.

1. How do you know the bride? Erica and I met on Theta bid day sophomore year of college and quickly bonded over our love for music and tater tots. 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the bride? My favorite memories with Erica are when we went to Stagecoach and Sasquatch (RIP) together with the roomies. We all spent the whole weekend catching up and dancing our hearts out!

1. How do you know the groom? I went to high school with Anthony. 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the groom? There are way too many moments to name. One memorable moment was when Anthony and I went and did Tough Mudder for the first time in Lake Tahoe. The race beat us up bad and I have never hung out at a McDonalds for multiple hours…Taco Bell on the other hand is another story.

1. How do you know the bride? Erica and I met at the University of Oregon and lived together for two years. 2. What’s your favorite story/memorable moment with the bride? We have too many memorable moments together to pick just one! Erica’s always up for an adventure - we’ve had some unforgettable times exploring Oregon and cheering on the Ducks.

1. How do you know the groom? Anthony hired me in 2018 soon after he was promoted to Area Manager of Ro Health. Over the next 4 and a half years we worked together to build one of the most successful branches in the company and taught each other how best to lead. Through the years he has become one of my closest friends in my life. 2. What is your favorite/most memorable moment with the groom? In 2019, just before the pandemic, Anthony and his friends from Oregon met me and my friends at my house in Berkeley before the Oregon/Cal football game. In classic Anthony fashion, he shows up looking like the living dead. He had flown to Portland to get his passport, which for some reason was in another state, as he was about to fly out to Spain (this leads to an even more iconic Anthony story). He did all this while on a couple hours of sleep and fighting a cold that was draining him of all his energy. We proceeded to bbq and play drinking games in the backyard before going to the game. I have never met anyone that personified the energizer bunny like Anthony. Whether it's going out to the ECR, studying all night for his MBA, or completing an endless task list for work, he never allows anything to slow him down.

1. How do you know the bride and groom? I have had the privilege of knowing Anthony and Erica since high school. I remember meeting Anthony the summer before when we were both skinny squeaks at football conditioning. I met Erica in PE when a group of us were talking about what few thing we would have on a deserted island. 2. What is your favorite story/memorable moment with the bride and groom? Hard to pick a favorite memory with the both of them. There have been so many! From countless music festivals and shows, hitting some wineries/bars/breweries to having fun times in Tahoe in the summer and winter time. It is always a fun adventure with them that is always memorable, but sometimes hard to remember.
