Milby, Erickson Win Free Wedding; Local Couple Falls Short
August 1, 2013
Evan Milby and Alanna Erickson have won this year’s Pensacola Block Party Wedding Contest — a free wedding held on the streets of Pensacola with everything donated by various vendors.
“We had a great experience and we wish them the best in life,” Jessy Killam, a top ten finalist in the contest, said Wednesday night. “The marriage truly begins after the wedding is over.”
Jessy and her fiance Jarrett Swearingen, were featured Monday in a NorthEscambia.com story due to their local ties.
Jessica grew up in Byrneville and graduated from Northview High School. Her fiance Jarrett grew up in Jay and graduated from Jay High School. He’s now an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy.

Congratulations Alanna and Evan!!
Such a sweet and deserving couple.
The winning bride graduated from Pace High, and is a very lucky LOCAL as well.
Awesome comment Richard Acord, though I don’t know you….you are brilliant!
I am a little partial, since I am Jessy’s aunt….But, Jessy will be the most beautiful bride, regardless of who the vendors are….whether she is wearing a Vera Wang original or a feedsack! Ha!! 
Love ya, Jessy and Jarrett!
Just my opinion. You will look back on this and think this was your BEST wedding gift ever. I have not met this lovely couple however, I did attend gallery night and will say this. I felt so bad for the bride and groom family and friends (Last year), loud music playing from neighboring eating and drinking establishments, glasses clanking, smoke, laughter, kids crying , on lookers practically on the alter to get kid a balloon, , like a circus. The free use of Palfox and Garden street with a hurried free dinner at the local fish shop. You guys don’t need it. Trust me, the guy wanting a flower or balloon for his kid, the smoke, music will be in attendance….remember one in every crowd… Id say you guys have much more class than that! Jessy and Jarrett All the best
