Erin & Christopher
Wedding Party
Caitlin McKenney
Mate of Honor
Caitlin is the sister and lifelong best friend of the bride. She's an expert problem-solver and the most encouraging, supportive person -- making her an amazing mate of honor. She's also the self-proclaimed godmother of our cat, Maisy, and an integral part of our life in Philly. We're so happy to have her celebrating with us on our special day!
Keith Vreeland
Mate of Honor
As a friend of both Chris and Erin from the first semester of undergrad, Keith has literally been there since the beginning. Whether he's having a ping pong fight with the bride or having a morning coffee ritual with the groom, he is a constant source of laughter and support. We're so happy to have him help us start this next chapter of our life!
Max Landy
Wedding Attendant
Max was Chris's roommate during their semester abroad in Vienna! Even though since then they've been halfway across the country from one another, they've still made it a priority to carve out time every week to play video games together with Max's girlfriend Sophie. He's both a great person to have long, deep talks with and one of the great human makers of dinosaur noises. We can't wait for him to join us for our wedding!
Hendrik Mayer
Wedding Attendant
Hendrik is Chris's younger brother and eternal games rival. They were lucky enough to both be in Cambridge for higher ed (Chris for law school; Hendrik for undergrad), so they explored the food scene there on their Tuesday lunches. Even though they now live hundreds of miles away from one another, Hendrik always pushes Chris to live his happiest and most authentic life; he is an unfailing source of support. We're so excited to have him with us on our special day!
Rachel Pepin
Wedding Attendant
Rachel has been friends with the bride since high school. After years of inside jokes, commiseration, and long-distance cheerleading for each other, Rachel is a friend that feels like family. It's only fitting to have her by our side for our wedding!
Emma Stierhoff
Wedding Attendant
Emma first met Erin when she accidentally showed up to the undergrad dance class Erin was teaching. Erin did not hold it against her that she did not stay, and they eventually became best friends (...through a different dance class). Emma is a main contributor to the couple's playlists and the primary reason Erin remembers any swing dance moves at all. We couldn't be happier to have Emma to celebrate (and dance!) with us.
Scarlett van Wijk
Wedding Attendant
Scarlett is Chris's oldest friend--they met when they were just 6 months old! They're so close, that in fifth grade, Chris and Scarlett dressed up as each other for Halloween. Nobody got it, even though it was a brilliant costume concept. Even though she now lives and studies in the Netherlands, she never fell out of touch with Chris. We're so thrilled for her to be a member of the wedding party!
