Marco Leung
Bridesman
Ellee and Marco met at Virginia Tech and quickly became great friends. They both moved to Arlington, VA after college and continued their adventures together as they took on young adulthood.

Casey Harley
Groomsman
Jamie and Casey met at Sullivan East High School. They both share an affinity for the bite of a delicious Dr. Enuf and a Big Pal with cheese.

As the lone groomsmen who lives in the mid-state Jamie and Casey luckily are still able to see each other quite a bit and have continued their long friendship to this day.
