Erin & Eric
Wedding Party
Jeffrey Haber
Best Man
Jeff is Eric's older brother. He is best known for his witty banter, classic one-liners, and large nose. Hehe. In reality, Jeff has been a great role model for Eric, teaching him how to be cool throughout his childhood. He taught Eric how pick up chicks with smooth R&B, and the importance of always being comfortable. Physically. In sweat pants. Eric has always looked up to Jeff, and especially in recent years as Jeff as modeled how to be a wonderful father to our flower girl, Lilly. We couldn't imagine our day without having Jeff by our side and we feel so lucky to have him as one of our best men!
Max Friedman
Best Man
Max is, and will always be, the Jerry Seinfeld to Eric's George Costanza. From awkward middle school years to even more awkward adult years, Max has remained by Eric's side through thick and thin. Their relationship has thrived because they truly compliment each other. For example, Eric is a drumstick man whereas Max prefers wings, making bar food splits easy peasy. When entertaining, Max provides the activities and booze, and Eric provides the food (and usually the snooze). To break up Max and Eric would be like breaking up the Beatles (but don't get us wrong, Erin is NO Yoko). In all seriousness, we are so thrilled to have Max as one of our best men because he really is one of the best men we know.
Chris Smith
Groomsman
Chris "Smitty" Smith is Eric's best friend from college. Smitty is credited as Eric's longest roommate (longer than Erin, mind you). They lived in a room so small that their beds touched. The bottom corner ONLY according to Eric. If Max is the Jerry to Eric's George, than Smitty truly is the Joey Tribbiani to Eric's Chandler Bing. Living in Delaware, Smitty and Eric bonded over a love of drinking, eating bagels, napping, and repeating. In that order. Soon, they became creative masterminds together, punching through walls to create beer passageways, and more, but that's classified. Then, they would enjoy feasting on a Little Caesar's pizza after a "hard" day's work. Smitty made the good times better and the tough times bearable, and we're so happy to have him up there with us!
Zach Appman
Groomsman
Zach Appman is Eric's friend from high school. They met when Zach, a junior, thought it would be a good idea to invite Eric, a sophomore, over for a friendly game of poker where he would attempt to hustle him out of whatever money he had left from his Best Buy paycheck. Mission accomplished. Since then, they've enjoyed late nights at "Club Z" (Zach's attic) and many a night out on the Southside. Known for his one-hit-wonder "Rage Harder" available exclusively on Youtube, Zach is always the life of the party. Zach has stayed by Eric's side while he battled teen angst, text-breakups, and impromptu Wendy's runs. We love you Zach!
Joel Gamoran
Groomsman
Joel is Erin's oldest brother. When you think of a role model, you think of Joel. As Erin's permanent airplane seat mate on family trips, and credited with bringing her into the world of time travel, Joel has always included Erin on adventures, inventions, and road trips. He has had a huge impact on Erin's younger years, and both Erin and Eric's years living in New York. Joel has made Eric feel welcome from the very start, from their first encounter where Joel prematurely invited Eric on a trip to Mexico, all the way to the days right before they moved, where Eric and Erin stayed in his apartment. We feel so lucky to have Joel up there with us today because his kindness and energy are contagious!
Alex Gamoran
Groomsman
Alex is Erin's older brother. The small diagonal hallway that Alex and Erin shared for approximately 15 years served as a jumping off point for their relationship. The two used to spend long nights communicating on walkie-talkies across the hallway, only until Alex would eventually tire, hanging up while Erin was mid-sentence. Classic. That being said, from their signature songs to get pumped up for family vacations, to nights on the U of R Frat Quad where Alex told many attractive suitors to "step away from my sister," Alex has been the quintessential big brother. He mentored Erin through her first hangover, telling her to chew on ice (trust us, it works) and he's helped her survive many homesick nights at Camp Ramah. Erin is so grateful for Alex - anyone would be lucky to be his sister!
Shauna Gamoran
Bridesmaid
Shauna is Erin's older sister, and is best known for her scat girl dance moves, ability to 1-2-3 POP! at a moment's notice, and incredible talent at telling jokes SO funny that the entire room laughs until they are in physical pain. Shauna can be credited with introducing Erin to the world of Hip Hop and R&B, creating a love of TLC, Mario, Ludacris, Mariah Carey, Usher, Montell Jordan and R. Kelly that was only made possible because Shauna refused to let Erin change the station on drives home. Well played Shauna, well played. Shauna and Erin have always come together around their love of veggie spring rolls, rice and cheese, and mexi-fries from Taco Time. Shauna is also a supremely talented artist, with an eye for color and fashion that Erin has always admired. Love you Shauna!!
Courtney Keller
Bridesmaid
Courtney is Erin's oldest friend, as they are sure they've been besties since the womb itself. Despite a small stint in elementary school known as "the lost years" (don't ask for clarification, just leave it at that), Courtney and Erin truly are a package deal. Whether it's making friends at a Britney concert, traveling to Israel and having to recite their Torah Portions at customs, sneaking out and then chickening out of the sneaking out at Camp Ramah, hiding in closets so that their moms couldn't take them home after a playdate, laying on the beach at Hualalai, or even road tripping to Seattle with Neil in tow, Court has always been by Erin's side. We can't wait to have her up there with us, and by the way if you see her give her a Mazel, as she's a recent newlywed herself! ;)
Loretta Douglas
Bridesmaid
Loretta has been Erin's friend since they were 11 years old, wearing Gap sweatshirts, gaucho pants, and changing the color of their braces to match the holidays. Despite these awkward realities, they've remained friends ever since! Loretta and Erin have enjoyed many questionable activities together such as hanging out with the Montana boys, wearing pink flared pants as if they were a neutral, hot tubbing under the scrutinizing eye of her irate neighbor, taking pictures ONLY in sepia tone for an entire night, and of course, joining Dansation. Whoops. Loretta can also be credited with introducing Erin to a variety of meats, much to the dismay of Joel, who wished he could be credited with such an honor. Loretta is fiercely loyal, and Erin feels so lucky to have her by her side. #obsessed
Sarah Werner
Bridesmaid
Sarah "Swerner" Werner is Erin's best friend from college. One day in Psych 101, Erin, being the studious freshman she was, found herself distracted by two rowdy boys in front of her. She couldn't hear the professor's lecture, and therefore couldn't take the scrupulous notes she was accustomed to. On a whim, she saw a girl (Sarah) with an empty seat next to her, and asked if she could sit there as she was clearly in an academic predicament. Sarah said "of course," and the two sat in silence - because both wanted an A. After class, Erin suggested they go for bagels, and the rest was history. Since then, they've lived in Elevator Suites, joined SDT, studied at The Bean, added feathers into their hair, stayed in without FOMO, dressed up as Sookie Stackhouse, and more. We love you Swernie!!
Livie Cohn
Bridesmaid
Livie is one of Erin's closest friends from college. Drawn to each other because of their tell-it-like-it-is style, raunchy humor, and love of the 90's, Livie has remained a staple in Erin's life. Luckily, Livie also shares Erin's love for busting a move whether or not the dance floor is full, or even slightly ready for use. However, Livie does not share Erin's affinity for keeping a messy apartment, dorm room, car, etc, so while they could never have been roommates, they became the perfect example of "opposites attract." To put it simply, Livie is the kind of friend you can go out with, have deep conversations with, laugh at stupid memes with, and do it again the next day without needing a break. Keep your eyes peeled because we KNOW she'll get the party started on the dance floor!
Angiolina Gamoran
Bridesmaid
Angiolina "Ang" Gamoran is Erin's sister-in-law and friend. She's best known for her upside-down chicken, peach cobbler, and famous focaccia. Ang is the girl to go to if you need a new book to read, if you had a celebrity sighting at Russ and Daughters, or if your throat is parched and a LaCroix is the only way to fix it. Ang works as an executive assistant at Apple, and kicks butt every day of the week, making her even more of a badass. From missing the subway stop twice in a row after IKEA, to spotting Nick Jonas buying a pack of gum, to fun throwback nights at Benihanna Midtown, Ang and Erin always have fun together. Still not convinced? Check her out on the dance floor because she's definitely the life of the party!
Andrea Gamoran
Bridesmaid
Andrea is Erin's sister-in-law, and the most recent addition to the Gamoran clan! She is best known for her phenomenal taste in footwear, her uncanny escape room abilities, and her upbeat personality. Andrea works at Nordstrom as a Buy Planner, which makes her A-OK in any Seattleite's book. She and Erin both have a love of both savory and sweet, which makes any evening perfect according to Erin. We're so happy to have her not only as a bridesmaid, but also in our family, as she's the yin to Alex's yang and they are a perfect match!
Erica Weisfield
Bridesmaid
Erica is Erin's first cousin. Born 6 weeks apart, Erica is a staple in many of Erin's earliest memories. Whether it was boarding the plane for the first time to Camp Ramah, listening to Luau music, walking the Brooklyn Bridge, touring NBC studios, or even just hanging out and catching up, Erica and Erin have always been close. Erin feels so lucky to not only have Erica as a close cousin, but also as a close friend. We're so happy to have Erica by our side on our special day - we love you Erica!
Naomi Gamoran
Bridesmaid
Naomi is Erin's first cousin. Erin and Naomi have always bonded over the fact that they are, inadvertently, the same person. They wear the same size clothes, have the same size shoes, are the same height, have the same taste in books and movies, share a knack for designing customized Jeopardy games, and even shared the same profession (both teachers). Naomi was one of Erin's earliest confidants in the beginning stages of Erin and Eric's relationship, as they were on a family vacation in Miami when Erin and Eric began sending messages back and forth. We couldn't be happier to have Naomi standing with us on our big day! We love you Naomi!
Lilliana Haber
Flower Girl
Lilly Haber is Eric's niece, and Erin's groupie. This 6 year old is not your average kindergartener. Known for her take-charge attitude and exceptional taste in toys, Lilly will be gracing us with her presence on our special day. Some might say that Lilly is the reason we're all here, as she pushed "Uncle E" to marry Erin in April 2017, with her famous line: "Don't you want Erin to be a Haber?" With her birthday one day before Erin's, it's no wonder the two Capricorns are on the same wavelength when it comes to future plans. Always dressed for success, and with brains to match her beauty, Lilly is sure to steal the show (and that's allowed). :)
