Erin & Trenton
Wedding Party
Emily Hanson
Maid of Honor
Emily. Erin's Maid of Honor. Her confidant. Her beautiful little sister (and let's be honest sometimes big sister too). Emily has been there for Erin for as long as she can remember...because that's how sisters work, right? In all seriousness, Emily is the best sister Erin could have ever asked for. Her imaginative mind filled Erin's childhood full of smiles and laughter and her loving heart has ensured that Erin always had a shoulder to lean on. While sisters are bound to fight, Erin knows that no fight too big could ever separate the two of them. Erin absolutely couldn't do this wedding without her and couldn't imagine anyone else as her Maid of Honor - and we're not just talking about her job as a pseudo-wedding planner because of her awesome organizational skills.
Nolan Cisewski
Best Man
The brother, the best man, and the guy to watch out for on the dance floor. Nolan is Trenton's little brother (except for in height) and best friend. Growing up, they would often challenge each other to intense basketball games or hang out and build Lego's together for hours. Even though they don't stay up late playing video games and watching TV together anymore, they won't miss an opportunity to ball out when they're together. Don't be surprised if you hear them quoting SpongeBob or Saturday Night Live to each other like they watched it last night. He sees how happy Erin makes Trenton and immediately welcomed her to the family. Nolan is the best brother one could ask for and Trenton could not imagine anyone else standing next to him.
Brooke Cisewski
Bridesmaid
Erin first met Brooke, the sister of the groom, when she was just starting 8th grade. Erin has loved watching Brooke grow up into the woman that she is today and can't believe that she's now a freshman in college. Brooke is extroverted, beautiful inside and out, and definitely shares Trenton's humor. The entire Cisewski family has been Erin's home away from home when she has been in California, and Brooke is certainly no exception to that. She has always treated Erin like a sister and Erin is so excited to make that official. And most of all, she especially loves that she and Brooke will always have each other's back and she'll always have someone to team up against Trenton with when...you know...Trenton is being Trenton.
Jack Affourtit
Groomsman
Jack and Trenton have been friends since kindergarten. Whether it was playing baseball together and getting Slurpee’s after the game, watching Psych at Jack's house every week, or playing golf as they got older, the two of them saw each other on a daily basis until the moment they graduated high school (Go Bells!). Even though they went to college in different states, Trenton does and always will consider Jack one of his greatest friends. Trenton is honored to have Jack in his wedding party and will always seek his fantasy football advice.
Angela Delos Santos
Bridesmaid
Angela and Erin met through their pre-health sorority, Rho Psi Eta, at UCSB. From the moment they met, Erin and Angela had an instant bond. Angela soon became Erin's "Big" in the sorority and even though they are the same age has always acted as a mentor for Erin. She was always there for Erin when she had concerns about what career path to pursue and helped push her in the right direction to make sure that she was following her dreams. She has been such a positive force in Erin's life and one of her best friends. Erin can't wait to have Angela by her side at the altar.
Patrick Carr
Groomsman
Patrick is Trenton's second (unrelated) younger brother. They both agree that the Dark Knight is the greatest movie ever made and that Fortnite is the greatest game ever played. Not only are Patrick and Trenton very close, but Patrick and Erin have become good friends as well. Patrick is one of the few people to see Erin in her natural habitat (a Disney Park). Both Trenton and Erin are glad Patrick could share this day with them. Patrick will also be found tearing up the dance floor with Nolan.
Megan Shakespeare
Bridesmaid
Megan and Erin met their freshman year of college at UCSB when they lived a couple doors down from each other. However, it wasn't until half way through college that she truly came into Erin's life. After moving in together their fourth year, Megan quickly became one of Erin's best friends in the whole world and has always been one of her biggest supporters. Megan has also played a crucial role in Erin and Trenton's relationship and has truly helped them branch out as a couple. She was the driving force in bringing their two friend groups together that now act more like family. Erin just couldn't imagine her big day without Megan standing by her side.
Blakeney Fairey
Groomswoman
Blakeney was Trenton's neighbor growing up and they have been friends longer than he can remember. Blakeney, McKenna (her sister) and Ellen (her mother) have become part of the Cisewski family. During the Charter School years, Blakeney and Trenton would do their nightly homework together and, more often than not, her stay would extend through dinner. Trenton’s and Blakeney’s families have travelled together, cried together and laughed together. Trenton takes all the credit for teaching Blakeney everything she knows about football. It is only appropriate that she stands on the groom side.
Hailey Sprague
Bridesmaid
Hailey is one of Erin's first friends, but is someone who is much better described as a sister than as a friend. Hailey is one of the most kind hearted people in the world and has always been someone that Erin can talk to about anything. Growing up, they would spend hours upon hours telling each other about things going on in their life, both the good and the bad. Hailey also has always shared Erin's love for scary stories and movies, so they loved torturing Emily, Sara and Rachel who didn't seem to love them as much as they both did ;) But on a more serious note, she is truly such a beautiful soul and her love makes this world a better place. She is such an important person in Erin's life and Erin can't wait to have her stand by her side on her big day.
Peter Ginty
Groomsman
Peter lived down the hall from Trenton his freshman year for a brief time before moving into the same room. That dorm room will always be remembered for producing the fiercest FIFA competitors (verified by Peter winning the freshman year tournament). Peter and Trenton’s friendship grew as they struggled, like really struggled, through their circuit class together (along with Ben and Sam). Peter and Trenton continued to be housemates for the next three years of college. They spent annual weekends in Big Bear snowboarding together and laughing as Sam and Ben struggled down the mountain, spring days in Isla Vista perfecting their Beer Die skills and most days playing, in Erin's opinion, way too many video games.
Brittany Telegan
Bridesmaid
Before Erin and Brittany ever actually met each other, they knew they were going to be perfect roommates. The summer before college, they texted about their mutual love for Perks of Being a Wallflower and Harry Potter, but that bond continued when they got to Santa Barbara. Brittany became Erin's very first friend in California and within a few days also became one of the best friends she has ever had. Brittany has been there for Erin and Trenton's relationship every step of the way, from encouraging the two of them to talk to each other the first night they met to Trenton running his proposal idea by Brittany. While she is Erin's best friend, both Trenton and Erin couldn't imagine their big day without her.
Sam Goyal
Groomsman
Trenton met Sam his freshman year of college and Sam would have the distinct privilege of being his roommate for another three years. Sam has seen Erin's and Trenton's relationship develop over the course of five years, as he has continually taken third place in their Mario Kart races and lost a repeated amount of times at Wii golf. Trenton and Erin joke that Sam is the third wheel, but the all-important front wheel of the tricycle, when the three of them go get dinner, see a movie or play board games all night. In all seriousness, Sam is one of Trenton and Erin’s best friends and both of them are excited to have him a part of the wedding.
Rachel Sprague
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Erin started their relationship off on a rocky start...and by start I mean when Rachel was the toddler that ruled the roost that was daycare. But don't worry, as the grew together their love grew too. Rachel is one of Erin's oldest friends, but is also undoubtedly family to Erin. She has always been such an important person in Erin's life and is someone that she knows she can always count on. She has such a beautiful soul and it is sometimes hard to believe that that same toddler has grown up to be one of the kindest people that Erin has ever had the pleasure to know in her life. There will never be a time in Erin's life where Rachel will not be there for her and the wedding is no exception to that. She can't wait to have her stand by her side on her big day.
Ben Patient
Groomsman
Ben and Trenton met their freshman year in an upper division statistics class, which was quickly dropped by both of them. He was Trenton's engineering lab partner and he served as the co-grill captain of the yearly Super Bowl party. Ben, Trenton and Erin also spent many long hours studying and bonding in the library together. Most importantly, Ben leads the fantasy football league every year, even if he has questionable integrity as the commissioner. Trenton and Erin would tell you that no one is more excited for this wedding than Ben, so much so that he asked for a wedding countdown to put as his phone screensaver. Even though he drives a Mustang, Ben is an excellent friend that will always have Trenton's back.
Ali Wegryzn
Bridesmaid
Ali is Erin's older cousin, but she has always acted more like the big sister that Erin never had. Some of Erin's favorite memories with Ali are her taking Erin and Emily trick or treating, being excited to show Ali her new American Girl Doll each Christmas morning, and especially all of the fun adventures they had during the summer that Ali babysat. As Erin grew older, she had the privilege of being a bridesmaid in Ali's wedding and is now so excited that Ali gets to be a part of hers. Instead of childhood adventures, Ali is now someone that Erin knows she can always go to for life advice and will be there for her through thick and thin. Her wedding day would not be the same without Ali by her side.
Alex Schnorr
Groomsman
Trenton and Alex met in 4th grade and quickly became two peas in a pod. They were known as the Twin Towers in middle school because they were always together, taller than everyone else, and exactly the same height. They got along because they loved technology and made the decision to work as partners on their Mars Rover 8th grade project. Both of them will say that they never want to read or learn anything more about the subject. Though Alex and Trenton went to rival high schools and colleges, they still remain great friends.
Kira Trombly
Bridesmaid
Kira and Erin met all the way back in the first grade and from the moment on they were inseparable. Whether it was Kira teaching Erin how to play soccer at recess as a second grader to the moment they graduated high school still playing soccer by each other's side, they always did everything together. Erin remembers asking her parents millions of times for sleepovers and recalls countless nights of sharing secrets and dancing around the room to Shania Twain. Kira has always been such an important friend to Erin, and while they have spent the last few years apart, she will always hold an incredibly special place in Erin's heart. It seems as if they hit every milestone in life together and Erin couldn't imagine hitting this next milestone without Kira standing beside her.
Sara Sprague
Bridesmaid
Erin and Sara met before either were old enough to say their first words. Sara has always been one of Erin's best friends and the two of them grew up always doing things with each other by their side. They have the type of relationship where they can go months without talking to one another and then pick up right where they left off, because in reality they are more like sisters than friends. Sara has an adventurous soul and has always gotten Erin to step out of her comfort zone to do something awesome. The next awesome adventure Erin will take on is saying "I do" and cannot wait to do it with Sara by her side.
Peaches
Pet of the Party
Unfortunately, our baby (middle-aged) Peaches won't actually be in attendance at the wedding but our purrrrr-fect kitty will be there in our hearts. She's too important to both of us not to mention, so she will be the honorary Pet of the Party :)
