Bride
Jamee is the lovely bride and mother of Cora and Otto. She was gracious enough to adopt a third child into her heart and what do ya know, they're getting married. She is as patient with her groom as she is with her children and never gets upset when they're late to every event because he's busy getting ready. Jamee has a loving heart, a warm smile, and her hips don't lie on the dance floor. She's very excited to spend this day with all of you.

Best Man
Cam is the younger brother of the Groom and bestman by default (jk). He was much more fun when he lost every game of mini sticks and Mario Kart (maybe not every game, but that's how I remember it). He currently lives in Los Angeles and Otto is pretty sure he's an astronaut scientist (which isn't that far from the truth). He enjoys long walks on the beach, a solid bass line, and bourbon.

Brian has been my best friend since birth. He's the goofiest guy you'll ever meet. They gave him a wallet sized diploma in high school in order to prove that he graduated to anyone that asked, now he's in medical school (OK, they give a wallet sized diploma to everyone). Brian, Cam and myself were part of the greatest house hockey dynasty that the Novi Youth Hockey Association has ever seen, be sure to check out all of the trophies in my parents' trophy room (a closet in the basement). I would say that Brian was a central figure in my formative years, but the truth of the matter is he was significant for my less significant and boring years as well.

Marty is a material science engineer (point for materials). Marty and I met freshman year as he lived next door. He brought a whole case of muscle milk. Freshman year was a long time ago. Since then, Marty and I have spent a lot of time together: playing fifa, playing guitar hero, playing NBA 2K, playing Call of Duty, playing League of Legends, hanging out with the ladies and working out (lol jk). Martin has been there to hit the home runs in softball, score the goals in hockey, and successfully start a bonfire since 09.

Coming in at 5'11 155lb, Ryan Dillon is the token private school friend. He was ranked in the top 5 nationally in Quiz Bowl. He is basically Tormund Giantsbane from Game of Thrones, except instead of growing up hunting and surviving on a tundra, he grew up in a Historic Henry Ford home telling anyone that would listen that Dearborn counts as downriver. He's a great friend and I was lucky enough to spend a year living in a basement with him (and live to tell the tale).

Lippy and I go back to the days of playing wiffleball in Mike's backyard and ministicks in Dom's basement, running around the neighborhood barefoot, and playing Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart on the N64.... Man, high school was fun. He is the type of person that's best friends with everyone. Through all my years of knowing Lippy, I've never seen him wrong a single human being.

Groomsman
Mike was always the friend that lived the farthest away in middle school. He used to ride his bike from his house a mile and a half away (it seemed further then) after spending 4 hours doing some sort of crazy hockey conditioning program before the rest of us even woke up. After we learned to drive, we paid him back by spending 95% of our free time in his basement and backyard. As you can tell, Mike's a pretty selfless guy.
