Timothy Burke

Best Man

Tim and Chris met at Bishop Kenny High School during their sophomore year in NJROTC. They had many more classes together after that and have stayed great friends since then.

Chris Jones

Groomsman

Jonesy, Chris and Herman were roommates at UCF. Chris and Chris and Herman (Jones and Herman have grew up with each other) quickly bonded because they root for the same sports teams, and are the same level of ridiculous. Chris lives in Atlanta and works for both the Falcons and Atlanta United.

Courtney and Chris met at UCF and have been best friends ever since. As soon as Sara met Courtney, she unashamedly stole her and they are now life partners.

Michael Hogan

They always knew it would be a lasting friendship. Hogan will very soon become a firefighter for Orange County.

Kellye Collins

Bridesmaid

Kellye (another member of the Meridian Crew) and Chris were friends long before Sara was around. Sara quickly stole Kellye and they became fast friends over the years. Now, they have a weekly lady date that involves cooking dinner and binge watching their favorite shows.
