Wedding Party
Kelli Kobza
Maid of Honor
Kelli is one of those once-in-a-lifetime friendships that just makes everything better. She has been by my side through every season... laughing with me, lifting me up, and reminding me who I am when life gets ahead of me. She is the kind of friend who shows up without being asked, loves without limits, and makes life so much more fun. I truly don't know what I'd do without her, and I am so lucky to have her standing next to me this day.
Kristen Mercado
Bridesmaid
Kristen has been by my side since 2009, through some of the most challenging and defining moments of my life. Her loyalty and strength have been a constant I’ve always been able to rely on. We’ve shared years of memories, and through it all, our friendship has only grown stronger. Seeing her son Parker and my Dawson become such close friends is something that means so much to me. I’m incredibly grateful to have her standing beside me on this day.
Gina Langer
Bridesmaid
Gina is my emotionally driven, big-hearted friend who feels everything deeply—and that’s one of the things I love most about her. She brings so much love, energy, and fun into my life, and there’s never a dull moment when we’re together. Whether we’re laughing until we can’t breathe or having real, meaningful conversations, time with Gina is always something I look forward to. Her boys are always a big help and so sweet with Dawson. I’m so lucky to have a friendship that’s both heartfelt and so much fun.
Tom Zaroban
Best Man
Tom is my older brother and someone I've often looked up to my entire life. We grew up doing just about everything together-whether it was hunting, fishing, exploring the wilderness, or probable just out causing trouble along the way. We definitely had our fair share of fights, both yelling matches and physical matches, but I always knew he'd step in and step up to defend me when it really mattered. He's always been full of energy, driven, loyal, and most certainly someone you want in your corner. Having him stand by me on our wedding day truly means alot!
Dan Engstrom
Groomsman
Dan has become one of my closest friends over the years. It all started with a random text from Dan to go and get a drink after we had just met through mutual friends. He's calm, cool, and collected; not the type to make a big entrance, but the more time you spend around him, the more you realize he's a big presence in his own way. He is driven, loyal, intelligent, and a bit of a quiet leader. Dan is genuinly a joy to be around...even if our inside jokes (usually followed by a random elbow point and loud "Habalaba!") tend to confuse everyone else. Dan has always rooted for Erica and I to be a thing, we're lucky to call him our friend!
Chris Bivens
Groomsman
Bivens, as we all tend to call him, has been my partner in crime since 2006. We've lived together (for far too long, don't ask, he might technically be my first marriage), laughed together, unapologetically cried together. Bivens is a calm soul, yet full of stories, experiences, and ideas. Give this man a beer and expect conversation in which you'll debate (respectfully), learn, grow, and have a few laughs in between. Bivens is also the type of guy you can go great lengths of time without seeing or visiting with, yet, when he comes back around, its like he never left. I am grateful to have him share in my wedding day!
