Santana & Anthoney
Wedding Party
Santana Erskine
Bride
Hi! I am Santana if you are on our wedding website and you don't know me here is very brief intro: I love all things animals (specifically our dogs and polar bears). I love cheese and if you know me at all you understand that it about 90% of my diet. I am a Behavioral Psychologist for adolescents which is what I have wanted to be since I was in high school. I am a gigantic Grey’s Anatomy fan and have made Anthoney watch almost ever season with me. I love Anthoney with my whole heart and family is the most important thing in my life. That about sums me up!
Anthoney Kirk
Groom
Some words about Anthoney coming from his future wife :) If you have made it this far and you don't know him here are some things you should know; Anthoney is easy going, sarcastic, and loves a good competition. He spends most of his time watching sports videos (literally all day long), playing madden tournaments with the boys, and making sure I am well taken care of! I get to see the side of Anthoney that is goofy, caring, creative, still very sarcastic, anime loving, and Chinese food loving. Anthoney is always encouraging and pushes me to try new things and can always make me laugh.
Taylor Hill
Maid of Honor
Taylor has been apart of Santana’s life since the 6th grade, these two have been completely inseparable since. Throughout the years Santana and Taylor remained best friends, some like to call Taylor the calm cool collected one while Santana is the wild one!
Kyle Kirk
Best Man
Kyle went from that nerdy little brother with the bowl cut, always chasing Gabe and I around, to a fine young man who is filled with dignity and moral fiber. We have grown incredibly close over the years and I’m honored to have him as one of my best men.
Meairra (Mookie) Mccaskill
Maid of Honor
As Santana likes to say, Mook is her center! Meairra and Santana first met at Edinboro University and instantly became the best of friends. You can expect a good time with Meairra around!
Gabriel (Gabe) Kirk
Best Man
Anthoney’s relationship with Gabe is one that has stood the test of time. He’s not only Anthoney’s 1st cousin, but he’s Anthoney’s little brother and his 1st best friend. They made a pact as kids that one day they would be each other’s best men. Anthoney is proud to say for him, that day has come. When Anthoney looks to his left and see Gabe, he’ll see how far they’ve have come, from kids playing in the creek, to grown men enjoying life together.
Envy Easley
Bridesmaid
If you know Santana, you know Envy. Envy is basically Santana’s little sister. She is her ride or die, and her biggest headache. Most importantly she is Santana’s whole world. These two have been inseparable since Envy was born. There is nothing these two wouldn’t do for one another!
Tyrique (Rique) Day
Groomsman
While Anthoney met Rique through Santana, he knew right away they would become close. He is an incredibly down to earth and humble guy that truly loves those close to him. It’s been a great experience getting to build a friendship of our own that I know will last a lifetime.
Miranda Huber
Bridesmaid
Miranda is the mother of the bride and grooms first Godson Julius. She has a radiant personality and has always been a great supportive friend to both the bride and groom!
Charles (Cj) Smith
Groomsman
CJ is the first non family member Anthoney formed a true brotherly bond with. From Saturday with the boys, to long, meaningful discussions about our lives, to now being The Godfather to his beautiful son Julius. He’s one of the most trusted people in Anthoney’s life. Anthoney knows he will be apart of it for years to come.
Nicole McGlashing
Bridesmaid
Nicole came into Santana’s life a little over a year ago. While their friendship timespan may be short Nicole is one of the reasons Santana has joy of living in TN. Nicole and Santana oddly have so many things in common it’s scary (you should ask them). If you have a chance to have a friend like Nicole, make sure you keep them around!
Matthew (Matt) McGlashing
Groomsman
Matt and Anthoney are incredibly similar people (crazy white boys), and they instantly clicked. He’s one of the most genuine people you will ever come across , and he’s a joy to be around. You will easily be able to find him in the crowd, with his glowing smile and shining personality.
Rachel Woodard
Bridesmaid
Rachel is one of Santana’s closest friends that has strongly developed throughout the years! Rachel and Santana were roommates sophomore year back at Edinboro University. Freshmen year these two strangely met while Santana was dancing on a couch at a Halloween party over plenty of adult beverages. (Shhhhh)😂
Andrew (Drew) Jones
Groomsman
When I first met Drew, we clicked right away. He was incredibly welcoming to me even after his intimidating brotherly talk about his little sister. He trusted me like a brother right away and I believe he could see how much I loved and cherished Santana. What I’ve learned about Drew in the time I’ve known him is family is his no.1 priority, and he cherishes in particular this group of strong women in his life(Santana, his mom and Nan) more than anything. I am happy to not only gain a wife but also gain a brother when coming into this family!
Nourhan Aqel
Bridesmaid
Nourhan entered Santana’s life at such an unexpected time and quickly became someone Santana became extremely close to in such a short amount of time. Santana met Nour through her investing company back in early 2021 and instantly became one of the best of friends! Fun fact about Nour, she’s from EGYPT!
Isaiah (Peaches) Baynes
Groomsman
Isaiah was one of Santana’s first friends in college back at Edinboro University. When Anthoney first met Peaches he instantly reminded him of one of Anthoney’s all time favorite artists, Christopher Wallace(Notorious BIG), but personality wise he’s the polar opposite. He is a very down to earth, caring guy that loves to have fun with those close to him. He has became a great friend to Anthoney throughout his relationship with Santana, and welcomed Anthoney into their friend group with open arms.
Hannah Poindexter
Bridesmaid
Santana met Hannah around 4-5 years ago, fun fact is Hannah was one of the first people to know that Anthoney was in Santana’s life! Hannah has been such an amazing and supportive friend to the bride and groom through the years!
Julian Watson Gomez
Groomsman
Julian is very good friend, who Anthoney met here in Tennessee. His kind heart and good soul sets him apart from most. He’s a joy to be around, and can always make you laugh. Anthoney is happy he’s sharing this day with him.
Shane Kirk
Groomsman
Shane is one of the best, most down to earth people Anthoney has ever come across. He’s incredibly loyal and not afraid to show those close to him how important they are in his life. He is one of Anthoney’s closest friends and it’s only right he’s with Anthoney on his wedding day.
Thomas (Tommy) Hagerman
Groomsman
Thomas is the big brother Anthoney never had, but always wanted. He helped Anthoney through the most formative years of his life and helped form him into the man he is today. One of the most kind hearted people Anthoney has ever known. He has always been there for Anthoney when he needed him most. It’s only right he’s with me on this day.
Andre Watson Gomez
Groomsman
Andre was one of the first friend Anthoney made when he moved to Tennessee. Andre has a tendency to become the life of the party (you will see). He always makes an effort to put a smile on the faces of everyone around him. Underneath he’s a genuinely good guy with a good heart.
Matthew (Matt) Delong
Usher
Anthoney met Matt when he first moved to Tennessee, De Long One as he is called. This guy is a joy to be around, he’s kind, considerate and loves to have a good time. Ask him about one of the thrilling stories about Saturday with the boys, plot twist, he’s always the center of attention.
