Erin & Daniel
Wedding Party
Kelsey Smith
Maid of Honor
Kelsey is Erin's younger sister and best friend. She is also the most supportive, thoughtful, and organized maid of honor anyone could ask for! Erin and Kelsey are two years apart and opposite in most ways, but always have each others backs. Kelsey has many nick names for Erin including E, Er, and Erwin (her favorite-thanks to Geno the swim coach). Erin could not imagine anyone else standing next to her on her big day!
Phil Harrah
Best Man
Best Man and Dan's youngest brother. Will soon win an Emmy for Special Effects Make Up and then an Oscar. Hangs out with a lot of celebrities. Forever immortalized in the Pike Creek yearbook as Gollum playing basketball. Ask him to show you the picture sometime. He is also a founding member of "The Dumbest". Likes to save lollipops after licking them and setting Booby Traps with Legos.
Caroline Koenig
Bridesmaid
Caroline and Erin have been best friends since 9th grade when they both got left at the CNN museum on an orchestra trip because they took too long in the gift shop. They both attended PITT and were roommates at the infamous Dawson Street house. Caroline and Erin have been by each others' sides through thick and thin. Erin is looking forward to both of their weddings this year and for this next chapter in both of their lives!
Josh Harrah
Groomsman
Dan's oldest brother and husband to the beautiful Dawn. Aka James, Jamesy, Drama, Lundgren, Scobbers, Drewpiter, etc. Responds to all names if said in the right tone of voice. Can talk about cheeses for hours. Also loves bringing cruciferous salads to Thanksgiving dinner.
Kait Hoover
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn and Erin have known one another for longer than they can remember and are like sisters! They grew up in the same neighborhood and have been in each others lives throughout all chapters of life. From kids camp, to playing school, to now both being special educators, Erin could not be more thankful to have had Kaitlyn by her side through it all!
Dave Harrah
Groomsman
Dan's older brother. Master of the Buttery Fades. Founder and CEO of Daves Shave and Barber Parlor LLC. Married to the lovely Jennifer but aspires to be united with Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, it's really funny when he rolls his ankle for everyone but him.
Millie Odenthal
Bridesmaid
Millie and Erin have been best friends since rooming together at the Dawson Street house! While at PITT Erin and Millie were champions of the Oakland scavenger hunt (still have not gotten the Boy Meets World DVD's) and loved getting Papa D's pizza and Mozz sticks. Erin is thankful that Millie has always gone out of her way to be a loyal and supportive friend throughout the years, even though she and Erin live miles apart now!
Connor Smith
Groomsman
Erin's brother (Dan's future brother in law) Dan's #1 choice for fashion advice. The dude has style. He also has great taste in beverages. Don't try and tell him something new though because he already knows it.
Claire McGinnis
Bridesmaid
Erin and Claire are cousins and grew up together side by side! Claire and Erin have had nick names for one another since they were little (Gucci and Catting). Holidays, vacations, and life in general would not have been the same without Claire and her family being a part of them - from Christmas Eve elf hats, to beach trips, to grandma and grandpa's cookies. They also both have the McGinnis love of tea in them!
Nick Baxter
Groomsman
Grew up with Dan in Galloway and went to the same high school also played soccer on like 10 teams together. The Ace with the flip throws. Will do backflips on demand. He and Dan dominate the Beer Pong circuit. Has a penchant to fall on his face...A lot. Also loves lifeguard boats.
Kayla Rockovich
Bridesmaid
Erin and Kayla have been best friends since meeting in the CASE teacher program at PITT! They both have a love for teaching and a love for traveling. They were there to support each other as they prepared to be teachers in undergrad and grad school and also studied in Italy together. Erin was excited to be a part of Kayla and her husband John's big day last year and is honored that Kayla will now be standing by her side as she gets married!
Ian Taylor
Groomsman
Grew up with Dan in Galloway and they were roommates in Colorado. Master Chef and Baker. Makes a mean Torte. Huge fan of Whoopie Goldberg. His obsession with pigs is a bit nauseating. He loves when they oink.
Lauretta Werner
Bridesmaid
Erin and Lauretta met in Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestra in Pittsburgh at age 11! They have never gone to the same school, but have remained best friends ever since. They both have a passion for music, specifically violin. Lauretta has always been a positive light and steadfast friend through the ups and downs. Erin is so thankful that she will be a bridesmaid and will be sharing her musical talents at the wedding!
Jut Labor
Groomsman
Has known Dan his entire life. Social Media Icon, #1 Orioles fan. Easily a Christiansen, not a Sorensen. Do not feed him 5 hour energy drinks or you are in for a long and scary night.
Shea Fontana
Bridesmaid
Erin met Shea the first week she moved to Greenville because they lived in the same hallway! They have become close friends over the years: taking trips to check out nearby cities, having wine nights with Shea pours, and eating their way through downtown Greenville. Shea and Erin loved to hang out at Trappe Door with their favorite bar tenders for weekly catch ups! Erin is grateful to have a friend like Shea in Greenville!
Shaun Woods
Groomsman
Grew up with Dan in Galloway. On the path to become CEO of Rite Aid. #1 Flyers fan. Knows all the best playlists. He totally was into everything way before you. Most likely to be seen wearing a scarf, drinking IPA's, and reading Charles Bukowski. Has beautiful hair that impairs his vision.
Shannon Gillen
Bridesmaid
Shannon and Erin met through their first apartment building in downtown Greenville! They have become best friends over the years through wine night heart to hearts, weekend trips, and octopus cookies. Erin and Dan are thankful to have Shannon as the friend who introduced them at Trappe Door and helped to make this love story happen! Although she does not live in Greenville anymore, we are glad that we are all still friends!
Mickey Martin
Groomsman
Aka Metalmouse. Grew up with Dan in Galloway and went to high school together. Loves his music loud, his Jameson neat and his beautiful wife Denna. His house was always the spot when nothing else was going on. Also, a co-founder of "The Spot" if you know, you know. Master of getting lost and finding his way back home 12 hours later
Shannon Ellingson
Bridesmaid
Erin and Shannon met in Greenville at their apartment building! Shannon and Erin are both teachers in Greenville and are always there for each other to lean on when things get challenging! They also love third and fourth wheeling Dan and Ben's dates to Luna Rosa. Erin and Dan feel grateful to have close friends like Shannon and Ben in Greenville and cannot wait to share many more chapters of life with them!
Luke McCann
Groomsman
Grew up in the same neighborhood as Dan. A little brother to all of us. He is Brett Favre's #1 fan. It's all good though because he represents the Yankees as well. Really fun to beat up. We really don't like when he twerks in a turtle neck. Also, weirdly obsessed with Leonardo Dicaprio.
Rachel Baker
Bridesmaid
Rachel is the first person that Erin met in Greenville! Rachel and Erin have become close friends over the years by catching up over wine, brunch at Jianna, bike rides, trips to Asheville, and Connolly's Irish Pub (in our younger years). Rachel is the kind of friend that will always be there for you, and Erin is thankful for her friendship! Erin and Dan are glad that we have friends like Rachel and Will in Greenville to share life and fun times with!
Zack Lewis
Groomsman
Aka Smackary, Bub, Sasquatch, and Leprechaun Chin (he knows). From Ohio, he is Dan's oldest first cousin. Known to down more tacos than a parade on Cinco de Mayo and toss his smaller cousins around one armed when they get on his nerves. Has a laugh that is contagious and a head of hair like a Brillo pad. Just please don't feed him deviled eggs after 6pm.
