Erica & Michael
Party People!
Ala Ruffolo
Matron of Honor
Ala is Erica's sister-in-law, but they are so close that you won't really ever hear Erica refer to Ala as an "in law."
Niki Foust
Bridesmaid
Niki is Erica's cousin - and yes - a blood cousin. Don't let the hair fool you. Niki and Erica are as close as sisters and have been friends since they were babies.
AnnCatherine Downing
Bridesmaid
AnnCatherine (aka "AC") has been one of Erica's best friends since they were in 4th grade. She's a wicked 4 square player - especially if she has a blue and yellow ball.
Sheri Tudjan
Bridesmaid
Sheri is one of Erica's best friends and they have known each other since 9th grade. Sheri is the world's best storyteller, so be sure to have her tell you one sometime.
Allison Borkenheim
Bridesmaid
Allison is one of Erica's best friends and when together they like to drink, eat, and oh, "lawyer" people together.
Jennifer Mortenson
Bridesmaid
Jenny is Mike's sister-in-law and, as Mike describes her, cool as, um, well, you get it.
Ava Mortenson
Miniature Bride
What Mike would be if he was an 8 year old girl. There is no question that Ava is Mike's kid, that's for sure!
Taylor Foust
Flower Girl
Cutest little flower girl there ever was. (And Erica's darling niece).
Adam Mortenson
Best Man
Mike's brother. Hard core dinosaur enthusiast. He’s so paleo! Just don’t ask him to clap. Also does a spot on DIDDY impersonation.
Axel Rodriguez
Groomsman
Father, brother, fireman, Puerto Rican, licensed clairvoyant! One hell of a model American!
Brian Ingram
Groomsman
Mike's cousin who just happens to be married to one of Erica's best friend's sister’s cousins brothers fathers mothers. His service dog needs a service dog.
Benny Ruffolo, Jr.
Groomsman
Benny is Erica's oldest brother and probably still sees her as an annoying little sister. But, it's okay because he still kinda likes her. Big fan of Jim Croce’s early work.
Michael Foust
Groomsman
Mike is Erica's cousin by marriage. However, Erica considers Mike to be like blood and for the longest time would introduce him like this, "These are my cousins, Mike and Niki. They're married." Yeah, Mike finally ended that.
Benny Ruffolo, III
Groomsman
Erica's handsome nephew. Tries to be tough. Gentle as a teddy bear. (Just like his soon to be Uncle Mike!)
Michael F. Mortenson
Miniature Groom
Funny. Witty. Charming. Definitely Mike's mini-me.
August Mortenson
Ring Bearer
Just started solo urination. He’s pretty stoked, always. Identifies as a monster truck.
Marianne Rozinski
Mother of the Bride
She has a beer in her hand, which is clearly indicative that she is in fact Erica's mom. Cheers!
Benny Ruffolo, Sr.
Father of the Bride
Italian father + youngest and only daughter getting married = Mike better not screw it up or else! (JK!)
Barbara Ruffolo
Stepmother of the Bride
If there was a contest for most popular, Barb would win! She knows everyone, so don't worry about introducing yourself to her, because I'm sure she already knows you. (JK, say hi to her!)
Michael E. Mortenson
Father of the Groom
Ain’t having your shit Michael! Ardent lawn bowler. May he rest in peace and know he is loved and missed.
Michael Ruffolo
Usher
Erica's brother. Follow him, he will show you the way (to your seat!)
Alexis Ruffolo
Ring Security
Erica's beautiful and kind niece. As well as the ring security because let's face it, August will lose them if we let him actually walk down the aisle with them!
Emily Antoku
Officiant
5’3” ordained law student gonna change the world, but first let’s get these kids hitched.
