Honorary Maid of Honor
Brina is Erica's sister-cousin and 'favorite on this trip' that we call life. Their bond was solidified after Brina moved to Baltimore for grad school. They quickly discovered a mutual love of travel and became one another's go-to travel partner. Their adventures began tracing their roots in Norway and seeing how fast they could push a compact SUV on the Autobahn. The duo became 'Los Cinco Amigos Calientes' as Shaun, Erica's brother, Colin, and sister-in-law, Milu, joined forces to embark on the adventure of a lifetime discovering Milu's native Peru. Brina is a magnanimous force unto herself; determined, kind, thoughtful, smart, generous, supportive, warmhearted, wonderful...bottom line, Erica adores her and could not imagine this day without her by her side along the way.
Officiant
Linnea has been there since before the beginning. When dodgeball went on hiatus, Linnea joined the bocce team and a thoroughly de-bocce-rous winter ensued where lifelong bonds were forged. From late nights testing our livers to finally embracing what everyone else could see from the start, Linnea has been alongside us to witness to the evolution of Shaun and Erica to 'Sharica.' In a way, we wouldn't be 'us' without her. There's nobody better suited to represent us and our journey on our wedding day. We're honored to have such a dear friend make this thing official for us.
