Hi, I’m Denise! I’m one of Erin’s maids of honor (which I am so excited about). Couple things about me during this wedding process: 1. If I ask anything of you, it’s for the bride. therefore you must answer/do. It’s the law. 2. I will tackle you if necessary. About us:
I remember the first time I met Erin. I was at a Halloween party (where I didn’t know ANYONE) and Erin along with two others who don’t need to be named, came to introduce themselves. All I could think in that moment was “this is a trap” and honestly, it’s one of the best “traps” I’ve ever walked right into. Since that day (10/31/15) Erin has become my dominos and wine partner, my Facebook fiancée, and truly my best friend. We’ve done everything from spontaneous Disney trips, to adopting a dog together and getting matching tattoos— and now we’re planning our weddings together! I love our friendship, mutual support, and unconditional love. I couldn’t imagine my life without her by my side, and I’m so excited to stand by her for one of the biggest days of her life.

Rachel and I met in kindergarten and have gone through an entire lifetime together, quite literally. We've been through so many things together, always coming out the other side stronger. Through multiple travels abroad, too many bad haircuts to count, and of course our share of heartbreaks, we've always had each other to lean on, and that won't be changing anytime soon. At this point, it's a sisterhood bond for life, and there's no getting out of it :) Rachel showed me Ireland for the first time, so I have her to thank for my love of the beautiful country and all it has to offer. So grateful that it's come full circle and we get to celebrate together in a place that's so meaningful to us both!

Erin and I met years ago through a mutual friend and I almost instantly knew she was a kindred spirit. When she happened to move to my neighborhood in Culver City, I badgered her to hang out until she gave in and benevolently adopted me into her friend group. My life hasn’t been the same since. Beyond our mutual bonding over deep-cut 90s animated movies, moscow mules, and Mariah Carey’s discography, she has become an irreplaceable pillar of friendship in my life. She has brought so much joy and positivity into my world, that I often believed I manifested her (iykyk). She is a staunchly loyal and big-hearted friend who loves adventure, whimsy, and connecting with people from all walks of life. She is preternaturally sensitive to the needs and moods of others, which makes her ability to read (and work) the room almost supernatural. She makes friends and strangers alike feel seen and understood--a rare talent in itself. When she asks for your name, she remembers it. She pushes those around her to be better, she has an endless belief in the ambitions of her loved ones and she sees the possibilities in others that we don’t yet see in ourselves. I know she will bring all of these incredible qualities into her biggest adventure yet: marriage. I can’t wait to see how Erin and Eli complement each other, complete each other, and push each other to new heights. Congratulations to Erin and Eli on their new marriage!

First, there was Erin. She popped up into my life as a friend of a friend, a smart, driven, young professional, and truly one of the most giving people I’ve ever met (any of us have ever met - let’s be real). It wasn’t until she became apart of our covid pod that our relationship really took off. I was never much of a fan of horror, but in one fall season Erin changed all of that. Week after week, she brought her passion to my open mind and gave me the horror education of a life time! Classic after classic, then to cult classics, franchises, campy horror flicks, anything and everything horror related under the sun. A fall that started it all, and one I will forever cherish. From there, Erin and I fell in love - sorry Eli ;) Our one-on-one chain restaurant dates, our movie nights, the holidays we’ve spent together - just getting to know you on a deeper and deeper level has been the best part of all of it. Being there for each other on our best and worst days. Being able to laugh together and cry together. That’s what makes our friendship so special, and truly, I could never live without one of the most spunky, quirky, loving humans I’ve ever met! And boy oh boy, who would ever want to. After all, you are the Barbie to my Ken. I love you, Erin! Then, there was Eli. Just as Erin joined our pod, so did this 6’ 12”, handsome devil. A wonderful human I instantly fell in love with- sorry Erin ;) Eli came in funny as a clown, fitting into our little group like the perfect puzzle piece. The minute Eli walks into the room a preemptive smile shoots across your face. You just know that you’re going to have the time of your life. I’m so blessed that over the years I’ve gotten to spend so much time with you through birthdays, New Year’s parties, Thanksgivings, movie nights, Barbenheimer, comedy shows, and much more. The fact that my two favorite people are getting married is so incredibly special, but truly, I’m the lucky one. It means the fun will never end :) I love you, Eli!

Hi. My name is Blake English. I work in the film and music industry in Los Angeles. Erin and I met and bonded through our mutual friends but our lifelong kindred- spirit status was truly sealed through our adoration of all things horror. We both knew right away when we were able to converse over the brilliance of the movie “Scream”, that we had both found something special in each other. Through Erin I have gotten to know Eli quite well and have witnessed the blossoming of their relationship for quite some time. I’m so happy to get to be an apart of and celebrate their wonderful union. Their love for each other is nothing short of awe-inspiring and I’m very excited to see where this new journey together leads them.

Holly met Erin at a mutual friends wedding. It was obviously love at first sight, but when Erin instantly guessed Holly was a Taurus it was game over. A new best friendship blossomed in a matter of seconds. From making homemade pizza together, to murder mystery parties, to braving haunted mazes, their mutual love of all things spooky and film and tv, it was really meant to be. Holly is forever grateful for Erin’s love, generosity, kindness, humor and let’s be honest… Erin’s undeniable hotness. Eli, you lucky man! Holly is beyond honored to be a bridesmaid for Erin and to stand beside her as she and Eli tie the knot. Holly cannot contain her excitement and cannot wait to celebrate the beautiful couple!

When I look back on things, it feels like I met Erin only a couple of years ago. In reality, 2024 will mark 8 years of friendship. I remember when we first met; we were fresh faced and both getting our roots settled in Los Angeles. Over the years, the wide eyes might’ve also gained some eye bags, but time has done us well. Things change as you get older, especially your relationships. People come and go, and those that stay often take on may different roles in your life. In Erin, I’ve gained a mentor, therapist, cheerleader, fellow horror fanatic, and most of all friend. I can’t say thank you enough for having my back and believing in my for all these years; and I’m honored to be able to stand with her on this special day. I’m glad to have her with me for all these years and am looking forward to many, many more. Here’s to more wine bars, game nights, movies, and late night talks about getting old.

Hi, I’m Patrick Broderick! I run a film studio in Los Angeles and love movies. Naturally, when I met Erin a few years back, we were an instant connection about film and so much more. As our friendship developed, she started dating Eli. I got to watch their love story begin. When Covid hit, we all became connected through our love of movies. I got to know Erin and Eli both so deeply as the world was in chaos, and they helped keep life feeling safe. Our friendship grew as their love grew. I am so honored to be here today in celebration of two of my favorite people. Congrats to Erin and Eli for the beautiful love that is just beginning!

Reflecting on the several years of my friendship with Erin fills me with overwhelming gratitude. Our journey has been sprinkled with laughter, shared secrets, and loads of unforgettable memories. As we approach her special day, I find myself wrapped up in the beauty of those moments. Erin isn't just a friend; she's become a sister and an essential part of my life. Here's to more years ahead, full of having each other's backs, understanding each other's craziness, and a bond that's anything but ordinary. Wishing Erin all the love and joy in the world as she starts this wonderful journey into the next chapter of her life with Eli!
