Erin & Thomas
Wedding Party
Kara
Maid of Honor
Kara is my sister. We are 19 months apart and grew up as built in best friends. Kara defended me she was young enough to be in a stroller - my mom called me sassy and Kara quipped back that I was not "saucy" I was in fact, her "dister." Kara is the definition of my voice of reason and this day would not mean the same without her.
Anna
Bridesmaid
Anna is my youngest sister and kindred spirit. In her younger days, she used to put on (no joke) up to twelve minute dances to whatever CD Kara and I were stuck on at the moment (NOW 4, anyone?). Although Anna is MUCH louder and funnier than I am, she has such a soft, sweet heart. We love to send each other vegan memes and would save all the animals if we could. It is so special to have her be a part of this day.
Leah
Bridesmaid
Leah and I met in high school through a love of lacrosse, smirnoff ices, beach weeks and Investigation Discovery. Thankfully, our palates matured and we ditched ices for wine. Leah is one of the most unassuming women you could ever meet. She is so gracious and understanding and I know that is a large part of why our friendship is as strong as it is. I am blessed to know, love and have her as my best friend.
Mary
Bridesmaid
Mary and I deemed ourselves "best friends" immediately during freshman year of high school. We ran A LOT in Rock Creek Park, drank all the coffee and became scrapbook professionals. Mary has such a sense of adventure and can turn anything into one -- just don't believe her when she tells you something is "close" or it will be "quick." Teasing aside, Mary has such a calming presence that will is truly irreplaceable.
Catarina
Bridesmaid
Baltimore brought us together initially but not long after, Cat moved back to her home town in Philly. This somehow (and thankfully) brought us closer together. It didn't take long to realized that we are the same person from our empath and introverted nature to our astigmatisms. She has such an amazing energy and passion to encourage the people she loves and I couldn't imagine mine and Tom's wedding day without her!
