Lance and Seth have been friends since their Eagle Day before starting their college careers together in 2019. Once school started, they found out that they were next door neighbors and started a group of people who watched movies in the dorm lobby. They even once took Seth's grandma out on a "Boys Night". The two eventually became roommates where they played lots of video games, darts, and had movie nights. Seth now works within a warehouse and enjoys being with his son Acyn.
Carlie Baldus

Carlie and Amy met through Zeta Psi Lambda at Central Methodist University. Their junior year they became roommates and besties and haven't stopped chatting since. Amy helped Carlie emotionally survive nursing school (one year ahead of Lance) and Carlie helped Amy survive her dental school admission exams. Carlie now works as a nurse at Children's Mercy in Kansas City. They like to spend their time hanging out singing Taylor Swift, shopping, and planning their weddings!!

Lance and Mike have been friends since Seth introduced the two in Spring of 2022 at Mike's house, aka the Chi Delta house. It was here where the three logged many hours into fighting each other on a game called Jump Force. Going over to Mike's house after class to play some games with Mike and Seth became a regular part of Lance's schedule. Mike is working for the Braun Home in Fayette, MO where he provides assisted living care to those who are elderly or with mental handicaps.

Lainee and Amy met when Amy first came home with Lance for his birthday in 2022.

Tucker Karl
Groomsman
Lance and Tucker have been friends since 2021 when they met at Central Methodist University through Seth at the Chi Delta house, which he was a member of. The two quickly hit it off talking about Monster Hunter, Star Wars, and other nerdy topics. Tucker is currently finishing up his senior year at Central Methodist University and the two still hop on the games to hunt some monsters and catch up.
