Best Man
"I decided about two years ago that if this didn't work out I'd definitely be on team Sadie...so I am glad they are getting married so I can remain friends with my brother. I love you both and I'm incredibly honored and excited to be part of your special day!"
Maid of Honor
"I met Eric and Sadie when they were freshmen at SVSU, little did I know what an important role they would have in my life. From random days full of shopping with Sadie, to letting me stay in their apartment when I didn't want to drive home late at night. Eric and Sadie have always had my back. When I call needing advice, Sadie ( and Eric since I am usually on speaker phone) are always willing to listen and tell me what I need to hear even if it isn't easy. I am honored to be part of their special day and can't wait to celebrate with them.

"I met Eric and Sadie when destiny and a college administrator paired me to be Eric's roommate. I have been the proud third wheel of Eric and Sadie for four years now. Now I get to look forward to a lifetime."
Bridesmaid
"Little did I know at the time, but Delta Sigma Pi's Fall Pledge class of 2016 brought me two extra siblings that God almost forgot to give me. From serving on DSP's Executive Board together, to getting burnt in Mexico and all of the Applebee's half off apps in-between, I realize now that my college chapter would not have been the same without them. I am truly blessed to be standing up to them in this next chapter of life. Cheers to many more memories involving wine, long talks, half off apps and becoming Mr. & Mrs. Mark! "
Groomsman
"5 years ago Eric and Sadie met while we were all working on Mary Poppins and since then they have been practically perfect together in every way. I'm glad to have them in my life and to see them start tis next chapter of their lives together."
Bridesmaid
"I met Mersadies and Eric through Delta Sigma Pi. Ultimately being on E-board is what brought us closer together. From meetings to girl's night, I now consider them forever family and am blessed to know the future Mark's!"
Groomsman
"When I met Eric and Sadie four years ago at our first ever SVSU event, I never imagined our friendship would grow this much. From classes shared together, school trips, and our time in DSP, we have been through it all at SVSU. I can't think of a more perfect way to bring it full circle. I am honored to stand up in this wedding and to be their friend for a lifetime!"
Bridesmaid
"I'd have to say one of the things I appreciate about her the most is her sense of loyalty and kind heart to the ones she is close with. If I was ever in trouble she is the one I call. We are all lucky to have a friend as willing as Sadie to be there for you."
Groomsman
"I've known Eric for 15 years, and he is like a brother to me. They make a perfect couple and Eric is always happier when they are together. I wish them the best for their future together."
Bridesmaid
"From Big and Little to Bride and Bridesmaid, a lot changes in a year! Both Sadie and Eric have both been tremendous role models for me, showcasing what hard work, dedication and true love are. To be in their presence is to know that you are truly in the presence of love and I cannot wait to celebrate that at their wedding!"
Groomsman
"Eric and Sadie have always been the example of a happy and ideal couple in my eyes. They support one another, and you can tell that they are not only in a relationship, but best friends as well. I am happy to view them as the mom and dad of the group."
Bridesmaid
"Who knew when I pledged DSP two years ago that I would meet two of my favorite people, Eric and Mersadies. I didn't know at the time how close we would end up becoming. Especially after that faithful blizzarding trip back from Ohio. I look forward to see what this adventure will bring them. Love you mom and dad, proud to be one of your daughters!"
Groomsman
"Having so many memories with Eric over the course of our childhood and teen years, he has been a very honest and reliable friend and still is to this very day. I can see that he brings that in his relationship with Mersadies, who I also know is a very kind and generous person. Together they have what it takes to have a marriage that is everlasting and prosperous."
Bridesmaid
"Sadie is my big sister and to quote Ami Li "Having a big sister is like having a friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there." I'm so glad she is marrying her best friend."
Groomsman
"Couldn't be more proud of my brother and where he is in life. Our dog likes Sadie more than us, so she must be pretty good too."
Bridesmaid
Sadie is my cousin but she is like a bis sister to me. I look up to her for a lot of things. I knew I liked Eric right away (she was five) when he asked if "the little blond girl was going to be at the party" so he could hang out with me.
