Joshua & Erika
The "I Do" Crew
McKenna Wilding
Maid of Honor
McKenna and I met 26 years ago when McKenna was born and I became a big sister and best friend. We have been through it all and this wedding would have not been possible without all of McKenna's love and support.
Karli Newell
Bridesmaid
Karli is my best friend since high school. From making coffee to partying it up, we always have a great time together. Karli is the one person that I can always count on and is a great friend that is irreplaceable.
Kati Alati
Bridesmaid
Kati has been my next door neighbor since we were both 2 years old! With that being said, all the bus rides, all the boys, and all the drama, we have seen it all. I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor and friend to grow up with.
Melissa Wilhelm
Bridesmaid
Melissa was the first person to welcome me into Josh's tight group of friends from college. We are so much alike it is scary at times and she is someone that I have grown to love in such a short amount of time.
Chrissy Schaefer
Bridesmaid
Chrissy and I met at a golf tournament in high school and in college, fate brought us back together. I am so thankful for Chrissy and all she does. She has helped me so much, especially during nursing school. I would not have been able to do it without her. *not related to Josh
Ashley Wells
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Josh's sister and has become my sister as well. She has the biggest heart and will do anything for me. I cant wait for her to become my official sister in a few months.
Gregg Ackerman
Best Man
I have known gramps for my entire life. He is the guy that has always been there for me and helped out whenever I needed it. For letting me move in during high school to helping out with college we I needed a little extra help. We go on sweet vacations, like Maine, D.C. and most recently an epic western adventure. I couldn't think of anyone else I would rather have as a best man on the big day.
Steven Lavergne
Groomsman
I have been friends with Steven since, well as long as I can remember. I grew up visiting his house for our sweet "LAN" parties (we thought we were cool) and huge bon fires/fireworks we would always put on. We would go on random adventures that almost involved us getting arrested for something we never did. Even though we live far apart now, he is still a great friend and I am glad we have known each other all these years.
Brennan McGilvray
Groomsman
They say you make some of your best friends in college, and that couldn't be more true when it comes to Brennan. Brennan and I bonded in 2008 when we both lived in Bulger at Akron. What really brought us together was our choreographed dance to "Cherry Pie". This guy is one of the nicest people that I have ever met and I always look forward to our Bulger '08 hangouts. One last thing: TRY ON YOUR VEST AND PANTS ALREADY! ;)
John Schodowski
Groomsman
Although I am John's solid number three, I have grown to like this guy over the years that I have known him. Honestly, at first he drove me nuts and got on my nerves, but now he is a friend that I can count on to always be able to talk "geek" with. I met John through Brennan and the rest is history. From his bumming "free" beers off me years until today, he has been a guy that has brought many laughs and good times.
Eric Wilhelm
Groomsman
Another Bulger '08 guy that I met through Melissa! Eric never ceases to amaze me and the rest of the group with his amazing cooking skills and fire starting skills. I know that Eric has a heart of gold and will help out with anything that is ever asked of him. Another person I can talk "geek" with and have him understand everything that I am saying! Also, his twin boys are pretty awesome and in our wedding as well!
Ryan Willey
Groomsman
Ryan is my cousin who I have grown closer to over the last few years. He is always a great time to hang out with and we spend a lot of time at gramp's camper at Pleasant Hill. From boat rides to a crazy bachelor party in Cleveland (where Ryan found a new love of concrete), he has been a great person to have a good time with. (P.s. don't tell him I secretly just use him to see his adorable baby daughter Aubrey :) )
