Craig & Brandy
Wedding Party
Cole Rogers
Best Man
Cole and Craig met over a shared disdain for band class in 6th grade, choosing study hall ("this death-hole") over the class. They both attended Western Michigan University, and lived together for a year. Craig later became "couch guy" for a short time and squatted at Cole's apartment. Cole is a chemical engineer making bank, which Craig frequently takes advantage of.
Matt Poyser
Best Man
Matt is Craig's younger brother. They played hockey together, fought with each other, cried with each other, and made memories with each other. They even both had daughters only one month apart. Despite the sibling rivalry as children, they have not had so much as an argument since 2004. They are always the last two awake when, god forbid, they're allowed to get together.
Dan Harris
Groomsman
Craig and Dan met in middle school, but truly grew inseparable in high school. A love of video games and strange humor evolved to a shared love of politics, philosophy, and the occasional slap-fight. Helping Craig to emotionally grow past adolescent immaturity, Craig returns the favor by calling Dan a turkey....so maybe he didn't succeed so much. Regardless, they remain extremely close.
Turner Noel
Groomsman
Craig and Turner became close in high school when Craig lived at Turner's house for an entire summer. To this day Craig walks into the house without knocking, gets food/a drink, and is warmly welcomed. Through road trips, late nights talking on the dock, and a love of the University of Michigan, they have formed a friendship rarely seen.
Josh Frye
Groomsman
Craig and Josh bonded as coworkers over a mutual sense of humor where nothing is off limits. One of Craig's first real friends after moving to a different city, they eventually began going to casinos, golfing, being offensive ESPN talking heads while watching sports, and torturing Brandy and Josh's girlfriend. Just for funsies. They remain intolerable to this day to everyone but themselves.
Patrick Hanley
Groomsman
Craig and Patrick have a long history of "icing" each other. A native of Chicago, Patrick and Craig have been friends for nearly a decade. Although distance prevents them from seeing each other often, they enjoy the time they get to spend together by alternating between offhandedly insulting each other and giving each other honest advice and support. They're not too bad on the eyes either.
Chris Hanley
Officiant
A pastor in the Lutheran tradition, Chris and Craig met through Patrick, Chris's brother on a trip from Washington D.C. to Philadelphia years ago before they were reunited at the annual 4th of July party. Though in a fantasy football league together, Craig laments that Chris somehow seems to constantly dominate.
