The three of them spent countless nights together hanging out, having dinner or drinking coffee at a diner, and laughing so hard that tears would roll down their cheeks to the point their breath would be hard to catch. The three of them have always known that the other person will be there if they ever need anything.
Ryan Drew
Groomsman
Ryan and Brady met a long time ago at the yearly Christmas parties their parents used to hold. Ryan would let Brady play with his Lego's as long as he didn't take the models apart.

When Jodie moved to Idaho and got into the nursing program at CSI she told Brooke about their Dental Hygiene program. Brooke then decided to move to Idaho and got into the Dental Hygiene program at CSI. Brooke and Jodie's lives have always seemed to follow a similar path and their friendship continues to stay strong.
