We've always been connected in some way to our couples through mutual friends and varying degrees of separation, and our story with Erica & Elliot is no different. A friend, who also happens to be another one of our brides, introduced us to Erica who was a fellow Bruin. After we met Erica and her twin sister(!), we found out that another good friend of ours was her roommate at Loma Linda where she had gone to Pharmacy School, and would also be a bridesmaid. But the best part of getting to know her was when I found out we had the same first and last names. It's not too often you get to meet a person who shares your exact namesake!

The tricky part about that was trying not to make things confusing when any of us referred to each other. Plus Erica asked us to help with her wedding paperie, and to be honest, it was a bit strange to see my name written hundreds of times as getting married to Elliot. While we were assembling all the paperie, my sister happened to be visiting from DC, saw the work we were doing, and asked me in an oddly serious tone if there was something I wasn't telling her!

Erica & Elliot, thank you for having us be part of your wedding day!
