Matron of Honor
A lot of people know me as Barbs, Barbarella, or Barbie! I have known Lauren (or I call her by many other names including Lo, Losefina, and Loseph, or bestie) for EIGHT years now (I can't believe that) and we met at work (classic). We immediately became best friends, inseparable in and out of work. Fast forward to now, and she's always been Mama Lo taking care of everyone, but we both have grown so much over this time, even though we may not see each other everyday, we still are at every important moment in each other's lives from my wedding to hers, I am honored to be by her side on this beautiful journey. As Lo knows, I was the office Queen of Fun and I love a good party, so I can't wait to celebrate this special moment, and every one in between.

Hi my name is Tyler Schneck I am the best man! I met Eric at Hope City and we just clicked instantly (I think he's secretly in love with me) also I'm probably the most cultured white boy you'll ever meet. But anyways I'm excited and honored to share Eric and Lo's big day with them!

Maid of Honor
My name is Gina, and I have the honor of being the maid of honor. I'm the groom’s sister and the bride’s best friend, and it’s been truly incredible to witness their love story unfold. Watching them reach this chapter has been a joy, and I’m so grateful to stand beside them as they say “I do.” I just hope I still get to be your favorite third wheel!

Eric and I met at work — our friendship began the day I was doing push-ups in front of his locker (he respectfully declined to join in). Somehow, that ridiculous moment turned into a solid friendship, and now I’m honored to be part of such a huge milestone in his life. I’m genuinely grateful to be chosen as a groomsman, and I can’t wait to celebrate Eric and Lauren’s big day. I know it will be unforgettable!

I met Lauren and Eric through serving at church on a team called LILO (Load In, Load Out), and Lauren and I just naturally clicked. Fast forward almost two years, and somehow we’ve turned sending each other long voice notes—like mini podcasts—into a love language. I’m so honored to be part of such a beautiful, Christ-centered day and to celebrate these two as they step into marriage. Fun fact: I’m always down for a good playlist, a deep convo, or planning something way too thoroughly for fun.

Dear friends and family, I'm Dom Aka Snoop, to those who don't know me. I've known Eric and Lo for so long it's hard to really know the time frame. It all started former as employees with Eric. Through the toughest and I mean my toughest years, they've been there for me. That's what you call family. With the timeline we shared been nothing but fun and practicing vulnerability. He's that big brother for me (but I am bigger) LOL. I'm wishing them both the best on this continuous journey.

Bridesmaid
For those who do not know me, I’m Brittany Viramontes, proud cousin of the bride. For the last 31 years I’ve competed fiercely for the title of the “better” cousin- more competitive, more clever, more everything. But today there’s no more competing. I stand here full of pride, not just because of the bond we share, but because of the incredible women you are, especially in your walk with God. I’ve always looked up to you, and I still do. You will always be my older cousin, my role model, and now a beautiful bride stepping into the next chapter of your life. I’m honored to stand by your side, today and always.🫶🏽

Hello, I’m Coby, a longtime friend of the couple and honored to be part of this special celebration. I’ve had the joy of watching their relationship grow over the years, and it’s been nothing short of inspiring. It means so much to to me simply to have an opportunity to share in their joyous journey. I’ve been around for the good times and bad times and I’ve witnessed how much they’ve both grown. They are a shining example of what you get when you put in the work. I love you guys and can’t wait to share in celebrating the love and commitment ya’ll share. May God bless your union.

Hi there! I’m Sydney — the proud cousin and honored bridesmaid 💐 It means the world to me to be part of such a beautiful celebration for two of my favorite people. Growing up just down the street from Lauren, I had a front-row seat to someone truly resilient, loving, and full of heart—someone I’ve always looked up to. Lauren, you deserve every ounce of the love and support you and Eric give each other. Watching two souls so full of light come together has been nothing short of magic. I can’t wait for more endless brunches, game nights, and spontaneous salon makeovers with you two. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and all the espresso martinis in between! 🍸💕

Cousin of the Groom I’m most excited to see someone I consider to be a brother be so happy and in love with an amazing person… and for them to seal the deal on their big day. Been a long time in the making ! I’m a very big social butterfly with tons of stories that comes from a big family, but I also know when to stay quiet and observe. I have one of the most weirdest job mixes you’ve probably ever heard of… I’m a US Army Sniper, Bar Manager/ Bartender, and Private Security Contractor. Feel free to ask me about any of them !

Hi! I’m Angelica, and I’m so excited to be a bridesmaid for the beautiful bride, Lauren. I’m also the very proud sister of the groom—one of only two boys in our whole family, so the Sierras name growing means the world to us! I’ve known Eric and Lo since I was a senior in high school, and from the very beginning, there was this unspoken connection. I’ve had the privilege of watching Eric love her since those high school days and seeing Lauren grow into the strong, kind, and beautiful woman she is today. From the moment Lauren joined our family, she brought such warmth, laughter, and a whole lot of love—it honestly feels like she’s been one of us all along. I’m beyond thrilled she’s becoming an official part of our family—and even more excited that I get to call her my sister. I can’t wait to celebrate their love story. Let’s make it a day to remember!

Hello, my name is Jordan but some people know me by my DJ/nickname- Jaudi. I am a groomsman & the youngest sibling to the bride! Some say that I was the spoiled child between my older brother & sister, but I did get a second job in high school just to help buy them beer in college. I’ve known Eric for a long time- he’s a really great guy and has an awesome circle of family & friends. I used to think Eric was out of my sister’s league.. then I thought my sister was out of his- but with time, I’ve realized they are perfect for each other. I’m most excited to celebrate the fact that 2 people this day and age actually like each other enough to tie the knot!! That is starting to become very rare and it is a beautiful thing. I love cracking jokes & love to make memories so hopefully I get to do that will all of you! Sincerely, Jordan / Jaudi

Brother of the bride As Lauren’s younger (and arguably wiser) brother, I’ve had a front-row seat to watch her grow into the amazing person she is today. I’ve been protective since day one—but after getting to know Eric over the years, I knew she found someone who truly deserves her. I’m honored to stand beside them on their big day—even if I was mostly recruited for my dance moves at the reception. Always down for a cold beer, a trip to Vegas, or a bad decision that makes a great story!
