Kevin Goldfield

Groomsman

“Kevin is my cousin, and we have been best friends for our whole lives. Cousins by blood, but friends by choice. We have very similar interests which made the choice pretty easy. We both love football, Jesus, and the USA. As for Erin, I’ve known her long before her and Kevin officially started daring. We met at a baseball game in summer the of 2019, where we went on a double date. From that day on, it no longer was just Kevin, it was Kevin and Erin. I’ve seen there love grow since that first day and could not be happier for my cousin Kevin and my new cousin, Erin. I cannot wait to see where this next chapter takes them and I feel blessed to be a part of the journey”.
