Erica & Sam
Wedding Party
Anna Lopas
Bridesmaid
Growing up I always wanted a sister but I had Anna instead -- and I wouldn't change a thing. I looked up to Anna so much that I even tried to play the French horn because she did, and I ordered spaghetti at restaurants when she did --- I don't like spaghetti. She has always been a constant in my life and almost all of my favorite childhood memories include Anna. When I envisioned my wedding when I was younger, it was always Anna standing next to me.
Bill Dennis
Groomsman
Bill is my older brother, so I have never known any other life but with him around. He has always been a great mentor to me (sometimes on what not to do), and has led me through thick and thin. I am incredibly honored and excited to have Bill by my side when it comes time to for me stand with Erica at the alter.
Logan Rigsby
Bridesmaid
I will be forever grateful that Logan moved from Ohio to Wisconsin in the first grade. From our childhood days of creating epic music videos in our basements to standing beside each other on our wedding days we share countless memories. Logan is the ultimate adventurer and the heart of every good time. With her around, there's never a dull moment—she has a knack for turning any situation into an unforgettable experience. Beyond her fun-loving nature, Logan is genuinely invested in the well-being of those she cares about. She's the kind of person who knows how to have a blast while also making sure her people are thriving. Our wedding day wouldn’t be complete without Logan by our side.
Alex Dennis
Groomsman
Alex is the oldest of the Dennis boys and has been there for Bill and I no matter what. He is the most supportive person a sibling can ask for! And although it is only figuratively now, I have always and will always look up to him. I am so excited to have Alex up there with us on our special day!
Maggie Layng
Officiant
When Sam and I talked about who would officiate our wedding, Maggie was the only name that made any sense to Sam and me. As the oldest of the Shaffer cousins, Maggie has always been someone I've looked up to. She's confident, funny, insightful, and kind—qualities that make her the perfect fit for such an important role. We have no doubt that Maggie will do a damn good job of getting us married and making our special day even more memorable.
Jack Shaffer
Groomsman
Jack is Erica's younger brother, and was quick to welcome me into his family. We instantly hit it off, and our relationship has continued to grow ever since. I couldn't ask for a better (soon-to-be) Brother-In-Law to join us on our wedding day and to have in my life moving forward.
