Conner Harden
Best Man
Eric’s little guy who isn’t so little anymore. Conner spends much of his time drawing, creating new worlds or universes, or watching the same YouTuber over and over again. He loves to share and challenge his dad on his knowledge of history and is becoming a cinefile like his dad, discussing movies and constantly sharing movie quotes. Eric is very proud of the person Conner is growing to be and extremely grateful that Conner agreed to be his Best Man…as long as he didnt have to give a speech ;). This is a photo of Eric asking Conner to be his Best Man by hiding a piece of “gold” that said “Conner be my Best Man?” in the river where he proposed to Emily!

They both share a passion for helping others and both work in the counseling field. Casey is an accomplished psychotherapist and business owner. When Emily bought her first house in Brewers Hill, she was so excited to have Casey as her roommate and he lived with her for over 3 years! Casey is also a talented cook and taught Emily lots of great cooking skills. Emily even made a cookbook called "Cooking with Casey" and gifted it to family and friends. Casey and Emily made lots of great memories living together. This is a photo of Emily at Casey's wedding celebration in 2021!
Chris Glisson
Groomsman
Eric’s oldest friend, who he’s known since he was a few weeks old. No matter how long it has been not seeing each other, it always feels the same when they meet up. Chris also has the honor of being the first person that Conner ever peed on, at the hospital, right after he was born, something Conner is very proud of, even though he has no memory of it. Chris really appreciated that when he said “I think he’s peeing,” Eric jumped up to grab his phone for a picture instead of getting a towel. This is a photo of Eric and Chris as babies. Guess which one is Eric and which one is Chris???
Tyler Harden
Groomsman
If Eric was the effort, Tyler was surely the talent,. Just don’t let him know Eric said that. Tyler doesn’t know this, but when Eric was a lifeguard at the lake, Tyler would be doing a flip and diving into the water, so naturally, Eric thought, if my little brother can do it, that he could do it as well. The flip occured, the dive did not, and with a flop that was probably worthy of America’s Funniest Home videos. Eric landed on his face, hitting so hard that his silver chain broke (it was a thing at the time). Eric has always admired the skills his little brother possessed, whether it be soccer, or the guitar, to climbing at EarthTrek or whatever it’s called now. This is a photo of Eric in Tyler’s wedding back in 2014!
Rony King
Groomsman
Rony, Ro, Roland, whatever you want to call him, he will always be Rony to Eric. They met in middle school and became good friends in high school. One of the original CoreDawgs in college, even though they went to different colleges, they stayed close. Eric is still upset with Rony for getting the MR2 (for the girls of course) instead of the agreed upon pool table when he moved to his dad’s house. Rony also just recently proposed to his fiancé, Sarah and they look forward to getting married sometime next year! This is a photo of Eric and Rony at Eric’s surprise 40th birthday party!
Jeremy Voelkel
Groomsman
Eric met Jeremy through soccer in fourth grade and one day, dragging a sled up the road on a snow day, found out that Jeremy lived one street away and they have been together through thick and thin ever since. The two of them lived off of Genova’s pizza and free movies from the library throughout high school. Jeremy is very successful as the Finance Manager at Koons Westminster Toyota. This is a photo of Eric in Jer’s wedding back in May 2011!
