Best Man
While the Groom's brother is usually the Best Man, Colin gets this title for his dedication and commitment to supporting Drew everyday. Being his built-in-best-friend since birth, Colin always makes time, effort, and immense consideration when it comes to supporting Drew. Colin has a sense of humor that is undeniable in any room and is an amazing uncle to Olivia. If you tell Colin you like something, he will go out of his way to find it and get it for you without a reminder or expectation. We are truly proud to have Colin as Drew's Best Man.

Colleen Rae Ann, the spunky sister! Drew came to Saint Louis for the first time on Colleen's birthday, and she was more than happy to share her day with the excitement of meeting him, selfless in nature. Another example of her selflessness: Colleen was one of the couple's favorite helpers and visitors when they first had Olivia. While one guest rearranged the new parents cabinets, Colleen woke up silently and would take Olivia outside no matter what hour it was if she could tell Bailey was sleeping. Colleen has always had a generally calm and laid back attitude when it came to life, something her sister Bailey DOES NOT HAVE. She will eat anywhere, drive anywhere, wear anything, and just about do anything you ask her to. When Colleen was younger, her nickname was "Me Too". If Bailey was doing something, Colleen wanted to go too. To the point where she had her own t-shirt branded with this nickname. Colleen would agree with the fact that the tables are turned now as they go through adulthood together; Colleen had a daughter, and Bailey said, "Me Too!". Colleen is home in Saint Louis, and Bailey finds herself saying she misses being there, especially for the little things, too.

One of Drew's longest friends, Calvin and Drew share a love for everything outdoors. From hunting, to fishing, to shooting at cans, Calvin and Drew can always find something to do in nature. Calvin was the first friend of Drew's that Bailey met and was overly respectful and generous with planning a fun "Kent Island" day for Drew's new girlfriend. Calvin is a magnet to those around him and the newlyweds will never forget Reggae Rise Up 2022 with Calvin and his endless Chinese food! One of Calvin’s favorite stories consists of Calvin and Drew fishing with a couple of other friends just drifting, meanwhile, Drew was catching fish after fish and the group was confused trying to figure out what he was doing that we weren’t. Another fishing story was just last summer Calvin took Bailey and Drew out and Bailey caught the only fish between the three of them that day, it was a blue fish of all things!

Lindsay and Bailey became friends in 2017 introduced by a mutual acquaintance. At that time, Lindsay was flying to Missouri from Maryland for major holidays and weddings. Every time Bailey and Lindsay got together at a wedding, CLEAR THE DANCE FLOOR. Now, Lindsay lives in MO, and flies to MD for special occasions only, leaving her and Bailey frequently on opposite flight paths! Lindsay has the biggest heart, and the most spontaneous nature that keeps her and Bailey glued together. Lindsay is recently engaged to Jerel Williams and will be tying the knot soon!

Eliza, Eliza, Eliza. The firecracker! Bailey and Eliza met at Hooters in Fairview Heights (we're being honest here okay!). They clicked as friends instantly and both "retired" their Orange Shorts soon after meeting. Everyday before work at Texas Roadhouse, Bailey would go to Eliza's, even if she didn't respond, Bailey showed up anyways and let herself in :) While both going through challenges, this daily decompression session was the glue to what has now been 9 years of friendship. During this time, Eliza got her CPA with the (not so helpful) study sessions Bailey forced on her! They bond over their shared roots in Springfield, Illinois, the Irish Alphabet, and love for animals (shout out to Honey and Bugs!). Eliza promotes trust, loyalty, and honesty and is a safe place for Bailey to always open up and vent. If you want to have a good time, take Eliza to TopGolf, I know my dad will never forget!

A core moment between Blake and Drew was on a late Saturday night road trip to Ocean City, casting lines off a dock and creating cherished memories throughout the night and impending morning. Their camaraderie flourished during the good times at Calvin's place. Over the past 6 years, Drew has been an uplifting and knowledgeable friend to Blake (as Blake would put it). Their friendship deepened through shared gym sessions while working at Ledo's Pizza. Drew and Blake connect on a profound level of friendship. Blake is overjoyed for Drew and Bailey, and wishes them a life filled with extraordinary moments together.

When Bailey and Tori first met, Bailey was intimidated by Tori. She is small in nature, but her personality and confidence fill the room. Naturally, Bailey thought it would be a great idea to befriend Tori during Texas Roadhouse Orientation 5 minutes after meeting her. 7 years later, here they are! Tori is incredibly intelligent, strong, and personable. Any given get-together Bailey and Tori could be found laughing, crying, or speaking too loudly. Tori and Bailey do have a matching tattoo to celebrate a milestone they reached together, 200 days apart. There's an entire story behind the day they got the tattoo that can be told later (sorry in advance T!) Recently, Bailey and Tori took a day trip to NYC where they got lost without cell phones, missed McDonalds for dinner, and walked 11 miles from sunrise to sunset, because what else is expected from them? :)

Another veteran of the Orange Shorts, Kendall, Bailey, and Eliza all worked together at Hooters. Kendall was promoted to Bailey's "Big" at Lindenwood University where they both played collegiate Lacrosse together. Kendall encouraged Bailey to get her full college experience every chance she got, including a trip one night to a Louis the Child concert where she PROMISED to have Bailey home by 12am because they had to get on their team bus to play Indiana University the next morning at 5am. Needless to say, they had to pick Kendall up from her house...on the team bus! Kendall always brings the energy, the smiles, and conversation anywhere she goes. It is incredible watching her live her dream in Sports Management all over the country with pro sports teams like the Tampa Bay Lighting & Buccaneers. Kendall was there for Bailey in every aspect of life: work, school, sports, and relationships, since Bailey was 17 years old.

Brice is Drew’s Step brother, he has known Drew for 15 Years. When they first met their was definitely a big age gap. Drew was only 10 and Brice was just getting into high school. Their interests were very different. Brice was a big nascar fan and raced motor cars. Playing video games and hanging with his friends were a big part of his life. As Drew and Brice got older their relationship grew stronger and Drew wasn’t so much a little kid anymore. They had many fun times and late nights laughing together. More recently Drew and Brice’s relationship has never been stronger. The bond that holds them together now is their faith and Brice being Olivia’s Godfather. Brice is also married to his wife Abigail and lives in Seaford, Delaware.

Kat came into Baileys life when Bailey was 5 weeks pregnant. She always took the time to check in on Bailey, give her advice, and show great care for her and her family from the very beginning. Bailey couldn’t thank her enough for that. They have laughed and cried numerous times together, in the most unexpected places. When everything was falling apart, she helped Bailey picked up the pieces and put them back together. Kat is always thinking about how to help others, and has the kindest personality you can think of! Thank you, Kat for being so caring, devoted and faithful.

Taylor and Bailey met at Reggae Rise Up just after Bailey and Drew welcomed Olivia into the world! Taylor went to high school with Drew and has been dating his good friend Ethan for over 7 years. Taylor is one of Baileys best friends in Maryland and most positive influence in her life. They run together weekly, go to church together, and frequently have their Littles play together. An amazing and sweet mom, friend, and sister to have by your side truly!!

Burke has quickly become one of Drew's closest and dearest friends. Burke supports Drew and Bailey in all they do and is a constant light and reminder of what could be and what "serendipity" means daily. Burke has been a huge help with all things Olivia, marriage, and church. One of the couple's favorite things about Burke, other than his positive spirit, is the amount of food he can intake. Burke and Olivia have started their own "Shore Eating Team" where they eat anything and everything together! All metabolism jokes aside, Bailey and Drew are lucky to have Burke apart of their new little family!

If you want to play Millenial trivia, Kate is YOUR GIRL. Late nights in DC and early mornings at work have been Bailey and Kate’s mantra. Bailey and Kate were first introduced when Bailey was thrown into a promotion she had no idea what she was doing in. On their first Teams call, Bailey was in full wedding makeup after doing a trial in Saint Louis an hour before hand 😂 Kate helped Bailey immensely learn everything and always encourages Bailey to enjoy all DC has to offer. Kate loves to travel, enjoy new experiences and is gifted in serving others professionally and personally.

How these two don’t have more pictures together blows my mind. BUT Lydia and Bailey met in Mr.Lattimore’s science class at Liberty Middle School. Fun fact: Lydia is one of the smartest people Bailey knows and graduated high school as a junior (literally THAT smart) and is almost complete with her degree in Biology! Bailey and Lydia have always been an unlikely duo and stick like glue through everything. When they lived together throughout early college, Lydia once approached Bailey with a “missing snake” issue. Olive was soon found on the shower curtain road. That shower curtain rod frequently became their weapon of choice when it came to getting boxes down off high shelves, or putting snakes back in their cages 😂 Bailey and Lydia became moms 6 months apart and truly have a special bond.
