My Bridesmaids

I really really wanted to get a wedding website together, but let's be real...with what I have going on in my life that is just asking wayyyyyy too much from me. It is such a lengthily process. 
So on that note I decided to just introduce our wedding party on here and then give all the juicy details after the big day. 

The Maid of Honor "Matron of honor" 
Kristina Mendoza
 
Best friends since 2006!
She is hilarious and such a softy, and a music junky. Her speech should be very interesting at the wedding. I am soooo excited that she is going to be my maid of honor, and then two months later I am hers. 
 It is so typical of us to end up having our weddings close together and being eachothers MOH's. When I moved away to Tahoe and Kristina would go to bars or parties people would ask "What the heck? Where is Erica, I didn't even recognize you without her on your hip?" It has been sooo hard not having her around all the time, even still and its been over two years.Thank goodness she met Sir Nathan and moved to the East Coast with him...she's now in the same time zone, woohoo!


Bridesmaid
Katie Bergin

I met Katie in August of 2009 while working at the Hyatt in Lake Tahoe. We worked together in the child care program, and instantly hit it off. She invited me to move in with her into her parents house and became best friends. Then I met her family and I realized why she was so easy to love. They treated both Adam and I like family from day one. When we found out we were having Annabelle, Katie and her family were probably some of the most important support I received. I felt so far from my family and at such a point in my life where I needed them I felt all the love and reassurance that we were doing the right thing from the Bergin's and their family in Tahoe. I feel so lucky to have her not only in my life but Annabelle's as well. 


Bridesmaid
Tiffany Stanbury


Adam is the first and only guy that I have ever dated that was genuinely sweet. My long time best friend and I used to joke that we would never find a nice guy and that we would forever be eachothers stand in boyfriend. When I first started dating Adam, Tiffany came to visit and he was put to the ultimate test...which he obviously passed with flying colors and she was thrilled that I had found a great guy. We have enough memories of laughter together for an entire lifetime! She is one of the most outgoing and goodhearted girls I have known and basically the most fun any one person can be!


Bridesmaid
Lindsay Delgrosso
 I met Lindsay through Adam's best man when we first moved here. She was my first official friend here and one of the best friends I have ever been fortunate enough to have. It was so hard moving to a new city not knowing ANYONE except for Adam and his family. Then add being 6 1/2 months prego and it made it soooo much harder. Linds was a GODSEND! She invited me places, called to chat, made me laugh, and then when Belle came into the world Lindsay was like the sister I never had. She literally treats Belle like she is her neice and it is so sweet. Her family is the same way...they genuinely care so much about all of us and I don't know what kind of depressed life i would be leading if it weren't for Lindsay! 


Bridesmaid/ Sister of the Groom
Andrea Burzynski

Andrea and I met when she flew out to visit Adam in Tahoe after living in China for 2 years. She had never been out to Tahoe to visit and was coming to stay for about a week. I was already about 4 months along and we were making plans to move closer to family but unsure of where. Adam got a call a couple of weeks before Andrea came to visit for a job interview in Buffalo. Of course he had to go! We needed him to get a job SOMEWHERE. So off he went a couple of days after Andrea arrived in Tahoe. We spent 4 days together after just meeting! I was a little nervous at first, I mean she was the older sister, we had never met, and I was pregnant! If she was a mean person it could have gotten really really awkward....luckily she is seriously the sweetest person in the world, would not hurt a fly! We had a good time doing touristy things and I loved getting to know my "future sister in law". She is the most well traveled person I have ever encountered and I envy her motivation to go places. If you are coming to the wedding make sure to chat her up about her travels!! :)



Bridesmaid
Chelsea Mckean
 

I had the joy of knowing Chelsea before she was even in the world. I used to rub her moms belly and talk to her when she was pregnant with Chelsea. 
note: she is probably going to kill me for this haha!!
I can remember scraped knees, and playing house, bike riding, and family trips to Tahoe. Our mothers have been best friends for 21 years...freaking impressive! We were next door neighbors for most of our childhood and both had cabins on the same street in Tahoe growing up. Needless to say our families were close, and I have had the joy of watching her grow up to be a beautiful young lady. 



I cannot wait to have everyone we love in the same place for one wonderful evening!
