Bridesmaids
Ericka Gannon. Without a doubt, Er is the most fun and hilarious person I know. She is a free spirit who remains true in her beliefs, and to know her, is to love her. Through the trials and tribulations of junior high and high school, distance through college and the changes that adult life brings, our friendship has remained a comfort and constant in my life. Growing up, we couldn't be more different: she was the star athlete with a ’67 Mustang and I was the cheerleader going to the mall. She wore black Reebok’s (against my repeated advice) and I wore purple suede boots (what?!) Differences aside, we’ve been friends for over 20 years. We’ve made enough memories to last a lifetime and every single one is dear to my heart. I couldn't be prouder to have Ericka as my Matron of Honor.
Tara Hux. TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Tara and I became friends immediately following an introduction at a lunch table in the Bretton Woods cafeteria. As we get older, I realize more and more that our friendship is based on two things: acceptance and patience. She has a heart of gold that shines through everything she does – especially being a mom. We’ve laughed and cried together over the years and each giggle and each tear has brought us closer as friends. Through talent shows and slumber parties, wigwam socks and too much make up, dance recitals and broken hearts, first kisses and first cars, Tara and I truly accept each other for who we are, and will be friends forever.
Amy Goldberg. Amy and I became friends in spite of a little secret that she kept from me growing up (she was a bit envious that I didn’t have zits… but did have boobs.) Little did she know that I was envious of her ability to ALWAYS get into the open house parties and her party girl, risk taker personality. Amy is still a risk taker, is strong in her convictions and takes life for everything it’s worth. Even though Amy and I don’t see each other as often as I’d like, we can pick up the phone or see each other after not being in touch for a while and feel like no time has gone by at all. “True friendship isn't seen with the eyes, it is felt with the heart.” My friend Amy is always in my heart.
Melissa Eckert. I know being an only child has its rewards, but I have always wanted a sister. Not only am I gaining a husband, I feel very fortunate to be gaining Jay’s entire family - including Melissa - my future sister-in-law. Our love for fashion (though her love affair with shoes is a lot more passionate than mine) is just one of the “sisterly” things we have in common. I look forward to getting to know Melissa even more and enjoying our new sisterhood. (Don’t worry Corey, I’m thrilled to now have a brother too!)
