Erika & Kevin
Wedding Party
Erika Maslen
Bride
Kevin is fortunate that Erika gave up her high hopes of finding someone else. Everyone loves Erika should she leave the comforts of home.
Kevin Williams
Groom
Erika really lucked out that Kevin decided to settle. Kevin is known for being both hilarious and very loving, and Erika is lucky to have him.
Julie Breckterfield
Best Woman
Erika and Julie met each other when they were three and four. Nearly everything growing up was done with the other, including all their schooling, creek explorations, Tae Kwon-do and observing our brothers' soccer practices. Julie helped Kevin plan the engagement trip, and is excited enough for everyone about all things wedding related.
David Brown
Best Man
David and Kevin have been friends ever since Kevin moved up to Oregon from California in 2001. They bonded over a their shared dislike of other people, while passing the time mocking each other (which at this point is the only way they know how to communicate). They attended OSU together, sharing laughs over beer and cider.
Audi Rose
Woman of Honor
Audi and Erika have been friends since they started kindergarten together at the age of four. They spent their time together with random car rides after school, sleep-overs and learning how to skate board or do the splits. Erika got to be Audi's Maid of Honor, and is glad she can have Audi as her's!
David Overgaard
Man of Honor
David Overgaard or 'DO' as he is affectionately known, became friends with Kevin in high school. DO and Kevin chose to be roommates when they went to OSU. This was a decision that neither of them regretted and led to a great year full of memories, with many to come.
Sara Maslen
Brideswoman
Sara was born two years after Erika. She was always following Nicholas and Erika around, but conceded to playing with Erika when Nicholas abandoned them for his studies. They spent lots of time playing outside and avoiding bedtime by making up games on their bunk bed. Sara lives in Montana now, though visits whenever she needs some civilization.
Kevin Wong
Groomsman
The story of Kevin Wong and Kevin Williams is one that began in high school when their friend groups began to overlap. It didn't take long for either of them to realize that there were two Kevin Ws in the group! The Kevins have been friends ever since then and throughout college. They still like to stay in touch with their name doppelgänger!
Kandis Despain
Brideswoman
Kandis and Erika have been great friends since early elementary school. They have been together in all their activities and schooling ever since. Kandis was instrumental in keeping Erika sane and busy her first years at OSU. She since has been living in Iowa, and we all wish she was nearer or we could visit more often!
Ryan Williams
Groomsman
Ryan is the older brother of Kevin by two years, who are both first generation Colombian-American and proud of it! As brothers they played high school sports together and attended OSU at the same time. Ryan and Kevin have taken different paths in their later lives, but have remained close regardless of where they are or what they are doing.
Sophie Wilson
Brideswoman
Sophie, Erika and Kevin worked together as Resident Assistants at OSU. Kevin and Sophie were wing partners our first years as RAs, and collaborated about becoming closer friends with Erika. Sophie was a great distraction for Erika during grad school. Now, Kevin and Erika both fight for Sophie as their own best friend.
Nicholas Maslen
Groomsman
Nicholas is two years older than Erika. He always took on a "mentoring" role for Erika and Sara, and was great at playing with and beating them at games. Erika and Nicholas spent a lot of time together at OSU, where he eventually got to meet and give the seal of approval to Kevin. Nicholas and Kevin now get along maybe a bit too well.
Mila Breckterfield
Flower Girl
Mila is the "niece" of Erika, or as she calls her, her Auntie Harry. They have been best friends since Mila's birth, and love hanging out and playing together, especially dancing and looking for chiggywigs in the creek.
Glenn Breckterfield
Ring Bearer
Glenn is essentially a brother to Erika and her siblings, as we've all known him since birth. Glenn was always Erika and Julie's model during dress up. Now we just "help" him with his homework and drag him around with us.
