Brandon Charles Clement & Erica Marie
Wedding Party
Jenn Kittell
Matron of Honor
Hi! I’m Jennifer Kittell, Matron of Honor. I live in upstate New York with my husband and two children. Think Adirondack mountains and wide open country spaces…not bagels and the big apple. I met Erica in midwifery school almost 14 years ago at The University of Michigan (Go Blue!) We bonded while surviving an intense program and ever since have enjoyed conferencing, vacationing and managing whatever the universe throws at us. Having your BFF on the opposite coast, both juggling grueling healthcare work schedules and the differing time zone are challenging to any friendship, but I wouldn’t have it any other way, Erica is my person, and I’m so excited to share this special time with her and Brandon.
Bryon Leyritz
Best Man
I’m Bryon, first and foremost, Brandon's brother but also his Best Man. Brandon and I are close in age and as we get older we grow closer in so many other ways. I love sports more than anything and you will usually find me with extra tickets to any team playing in the city (Go Hawks and Dawgs!). I’m excited for Brandon and Erica - she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him. I know she’ll be an awesome addition to our family!
Mamie Nilsen
Bridesmaid
I grew up in Petersburg, AK next door to Erica’s Grandpa Bojer and that’s where I met Erica many years ago. Growing up in a small island in Alaska lends to having a life of adventure. We’ve always been local copilots and after everything we’ve been through together, we're closer than ever. I’m really excited for Erica and Brandon - she has always deserved someone like him in her life!
Ryan Williams
Groomsman
I’m Ryan, when I’m not loving on my wife and keeping up with my high energy grown up one year old son, you’ll find me fishing. I’ve known Brandon for about eight years but it feels like a lifetime. The start of our friendship is foggy but we became exceptionally close when Brandon showed up in Vegas and helped prank our families that we had eloped. Since then, we’ve had so many memories. Including being there for the first interactions between Brandon and Erica. He’s the greatest man I know and deserves the best and she is definitely the best person for him! I look forward to many more memories now as our families grow together.
Stephanie Gianarelli
Bridesmaid
I’m Stephanie, bride’s maid #3. Erica and I met in 2018 when we had scheduled to meet so we could know who we were both referring patients to. When the morning came, I had just spent the whole night in the ER and she had just spent the entire night at Harborview with her dad. We still both showed up. From there, we became colleagues and then friends and we continue to show up for each other. I can always count on Erica. And Brandon is an absolute bonus. I am so grateful to have both of them in my life.
Keith Leonard
Groomsman
I’m Keith. I’m from Portland, by way of Arizona and probably the first duck’s fan that Brandon has ever allowed in his life. I ended up on the Cedar River with my wife and one year old daughter. Brandon quickly became close over football games, game nights and dinner parties. You should see him light cheese on fire! He’s also one of the most dependable people I know. While we remodeled our house, he was consistently there multiple times a week and every weekend, tools in hand and ready to do whatever it took to get everything done in time for my baby to be born. We love golf together and talk about conspiracies into all hours of the night. I’m thankful to be friends with both of them and benefit from what they both bring to my family’s life. I’m excited for all of our futures together.
