Best Man
Younger brother, first friend to the groom, life long pest and his spirit animal is an ant-eater. Even though Alex may have grown in size and may appear larger then his older, wiser and more handsome brother, Erik still likes to think he can still take him on. Alex is the groom’s greatest friend and can often been found lounging on the couch with two dogs at Erik & Kerry’s house in Bonney Lake.
Maid of Honor
Partner in crime for the last 15 years. Besides Erik, there is no one alive who knows her better (or has more dirt on her). If the bride ever got into trouble, you can bet Heather was driving the getaway car!
Groomsman
Sean and Erik met after the Pierson family moved to Washington State from Japan when Erik was about 10 years old. They grew up just a few blocks away and have been close friends since. Sean is the type of guy that would bail you out of jail around 6:00am on a Sunday after a wild night.
Bridesmaid
Little sis to the bride. Fun Fact: growing up, Becca could always be found playing in the dirt, barefoot, with crazy unbrushed hair and toes covered in black marks from the trampoline. She cleans up quite nicely! My Becca Boo
Groomsman
Erik and Zach met while serving together the Marine Corps. They were both from Washington and connected instantly. Zach welcomed Erik into his family and they have been very close through out the years. Zach’s wife often expresses her concern for how close their relationship can be at times and calls Erik “Mierson” (It’s a long story). Erik left the Marines in 2010 and Zach continued his journey in the military to serve in special operations. Zach recently left the Marines and has moved to Wyoming with wife and three children
Bridesmaid
Big Sis to the bride. They didn't grow up together, but that didn't stop them from having incredible similarities, right down to that sadistic sense of humor and all those little mannerisms. Candice is a Psychologist with her own practice in Utah. One of our favorite things to do when we are together is making our father extremely uncomfortable with jokes of a very inappropriate nature.
Groomsman
Lorenza and Erik were assigned as partner’s throughout the police academy. They both currently work for the Sheriff’s Office and still are district partners to this day. Lorenza is a Tennessee native, and was brought to Washington State when he was stationed at Fort Lewis during his time in the Army.
Bridesmaid
It all started as lab partners in organic chemistry 8 years ago...We talked about boys and parties all class long, yet Yui still aced it (its because shes Asian) . She is now an oncology nurse at Children's Hospital, and is currently getting her DNP. One of the best friends I ever had, and the person I goes to for all that "adult" advice.
Groomsman
Matt has been a dear family friend to the Pierson’s for years. Matt often greets Erik by saying “What’s happening my brother from another mother!” Matt is famous for his ability to boogie and has been given the special assignment of making sure Erik gets out on the dance floor during the celebration
Bridesmaid
My earth child, free spirit. We met in 2014 when I started working at Swedish Hospital, and we were immediatley great friends. She and I worked together as nursing assistants back then, but she has since then moved on to become a nurse on the unit. She is one of the kindest, most understanding people you will ever meet, and she has often been that voice of reason when Im about to do something really unwise (Thanks friend!)
Officiant
Donnie has agreed to do the honors of marrying the bride and groom. Donnie was Erik’s Platoon Sergeant during his deployment to Iraq. Donnie has been a great friend, mentor and role model to Erik though out the years. Donnie recently retired from the Marine Corps and currently lives in southern Oregon, where he spends his time raising his family, building custom wooden flags or spending time on the peak of a mountain.
