Erik & Jana

Wedding Party

Amanda Foxall

Bridesmaid

Amanda was the first person that saw potential for Erik and I as a couple... back in 2002!

Christina Federighi

Bridesmaid

Chris is a dear friend and old college roommate who spent many hours with me talking about boys and creating lists of what we were each looking for in a future mate.

Alita Putnam

Maid of Honor

Alita is my sweet younger sister and my complete opposite. I still have the email in my inbox from several years ago when I despaired of ever marrying, and she assured me: "Jana, one day you will get married".

David Sanders

Groomsman

David's a great friend and fellow from Jacksonville. We met and were roommates the summer of 1994 in Panama City Beach, FL, when we participated in a Campus Crusade Summer Beach Project. Good fun and memories. We both enjoy fishing, target shooting, and gadgets. I was in David's wedding. David and his wife Sarah live in the Raleigh-Durham, NC, and recently had their third child, a boy!

Matt Leopold

Groomsman

Matt was in the class ahead of me at the FSU College of Law. We were instant friends after discovering we had many, many things in common. We were both UF Grads and big Gator fans, same major (History with concentration in History of Science), similar international teaching experience (he in Nicaragua; me in Jerusalem), both were rejected by UF Law (and are very thankful that UF Law did not accept us - LOL), and have a shared interest in Law and Politics. I was also in Matt's wedding. Matt's in the D.C. area with his wife Kim.

Gunnar "Gunni" Sigurðsson

Best Man

I've got alot I can say about my Best Man, Gunni... We've so many things in common and a similar outlook on life: He's like a brother to me. From the first time we really hung out in Iceland (October 2002), we were instantly great friends!!! We've shared some good adventures, climbing a Mountain in Iceland together with our friend Gummi, and are huge 007 "The name is Bond, James Bond!" fans! What we enjoy most is, over a pint of his uncle's Icelandic home brew, we chill out and philosophize about religion, life, and solutions to the problems of mankind. Gunni hails from Reykjavik, Iceland, and ladies, he's an eligible bachelor!
