Wedding Party
Josh Blackwood
Groomsman
Younger brother of groom, works and lives in Asheville, NC. Groom's favorite memory with Josh: While moving Josh out of his apartment, we used a trailer to tow some things back to Charlotte and left it parked overnight in the street. Mom was concerned it would be stolen by morning. We decided to prank her, told a terribly sappy story, and enjoyed quite a reaction. We both fessed up, everything was fine and had a good laugh together!
