Bri has always been that close friend that Aubrey can always count on.
Groomsman
Travis Rath is a friend Brandon met during graduate school in Kirksville. Brandon gave Travis the opportunity to grow from a small-town Minnesotan boy to a man discussing philosophy and the healthcare system while drinking quad ales. Just like each bottle of Maker’s Mark is dipped by hand, a friend like Travis is unique and hard to find. He is currently in family medicine residency in Sioux Falls, SD.
Bridesmaid
Missy is the Aubrey’s oldest cousin. Missy instantly became Aubrey’s role model and taught her everything she needed to know including how to play barbies the best way, to eat foods other than chicken nuggets and countless other lessons. Missy is expecting a baby girl right before the wedding and Aubrey is so excited to meet her.
Groomsman
Lance Deeter is a friend Brandon met on his medical school interview in Kirksville. From the moment of that interview, Lance and Brandon bonded over discussing good beer and life in general.
