Bridesmaids
AMANDA ELIZABETH LEE
Maid Of Honor
Ericka and Amanda have been friends since Junior year of college at UMass Amherst. They started out as roomates but their relationship quickly escalated when they discovered they shared the same taste in music, love for shoes, dogs, and bags. They were inseparable when they realized they were the same size! Their wardrobe closet grew twice its size overnight. Can you imagine how long it took them to get ready when there were so many options? What made their relationship so special was their contrasting personalities. Ericka had the Strong, bold personality and Amanda had the pure, soft, innocent personality. Together the two ladies kept each other grounded making each other the best of friends. <3 Amanda graduated with a degree in public health. Currently living in Brighton, Ma.
SOKLEANG SOKIE KEO
Bridesmaid
Ericka and Sokie were roomates their Junior year at Umass Amherst. Their relationship was a little "special"..It started out with awkward kisses on the cheeks that Sokie never understood. -Who gives away free kisses? Then it led to strange habits like an obsessive need for spicy food that Ericka didn't understand.- Does she not have any taste buds? These two ladies existed on different wavelengths and their relationship became more questionable with each growing day. Lord All Mighty, who would have thought they would become the best of friends. They were like peanut butter and jelly; two completely different items; one salty and one sweet and yet when you mash them together, you create something magical. Their differences were the forces that drove them closer together. Nothing made sense but it all made sense. The growth and intensity of their frienship has branded them life long friends, sisters, and blackmailers. Sokie graduated with a degree in Enviornmental Science. Currenty living in Lynn, MA.
CINDY SOUS
Bridesmaid
When Cindy first met Ericka it was at Sokie’s 21st birthday party. She remembered Ericka for how accommodating she was at the party, making sure everyone was having a good time. (Is that bae or nah?) Ericka and Cindy’s relationship grew to be more than just any ordinary friendship. It grew into the LS relationship it is today. Ericka and Cindy care about those who don’t feel that they belong in a sorority, but want to belong somewhere... So with their combined brilliance and compassion, they started their own sorority (#GreekLife #sisterhood #LS). Their relationship was far from basic, Cindy became the Bandaid 911 to the Lil Kinkz (Ericka). Cindy would always be there to play a ratchet song per Ericka’s request. You'll most likely find Cindy and Ericka together "twerking" the night away ... But in the classiest way possible. Cindy graduated with a degree in Graphic Design. Currently living in Lynn, city of sin.
AIMEE CONTOIS
Bridesmaid
Ericka and Aimee met all the way back in 2002 at Sullivan Middle School when they were just barely teenagers and their biggest fashion icons were still the likes of Lizzie McGuire. Even though they didn’t always have class together, they were always writing notes to each other, meeting up in the hall, and spending hours on the phone after school discussing all the important middle school drama of the day. They made sure to always have each other’s backs during those difficult teenage years and were always able to help each other shake everything off and have a good time, usually by making all sorts of videos with Ericka’s camera (they’re pretty happy now that YouTube wasn’t big back then and their embarrassing videos aren’t permanently out on the internet). Through the years they’ve been anywhere from just minutes to thousands of miles apart and they realized that friendship isn’t about being inseparable, it’s about being separated and nothing changes; they’ll always be sisters at heart. Aimee graduated with a degree in Animal Science and a minor certificate in Wildlife Conservation. She’s currently living in Worcester, MA
ITATI VANESSA
Bridesmaid
Ericka and Itati have known each other practically their whole lives. Although they are cousins, they consider themselves more like sisters. They are the complete opposite of each other, Ericka is more Hollister and rock whereas Itati is Forever 21 and reggae. These two never seem to see eye to eye on anything and it does not get any easier when they do argue because they have the exact same temper. If you put that all aside there is one thing they both agree on, and it is how much they love each other. Ericka is my rock, she has been there for me through everything, although sometimes I think she is being a bit too pushy, I know she simply cares, and wants nothing but the best for me. I respect the fact that she puts others first and she is always looking out for everyone. Not only is she a great cousin, but a loyal friend as well. I honestly do not know what I would do without her guidance and support along the way these past years. She means more to me than I tend to show but she knows that I love her and I am beyond proud of her because she is a beautiful young woman who has worked hard for everything she has. If anyone deserves to have a happily ever after, it is Ericka. I love you for being a true friend when I needed one, but most of all, for being the sister I never had. I hope to be as determined and an overall amazing woman as you are one day. I know with you by my side, nothing is impossible. Itati is attending college at Quinsigamond Community College majoring in Nursing. She is currently living in Worcester MA.
