LB, my incredible little brother. Despite his nickname, there's nothing "little" about him. His tattoos and bufness is the first thing that everyone notices. But what truly sets LB apart is his big heart. He is compassionate, kind, and has always been there for me through thick and thin. I couldn't ask for a more reliable and loving brother to stand by my side, as one of my Best Men on this special day.

I'm excited to have him as one of my best men, sharing this special day with me and standing alongside my other best men.

Casey is the strongest and most resilient person I know. I can’t imagine my wedding day without him by my side.

I'm super grateful to have Anthony standing by my side on this special day, and I look forward to having him as my brother-in-law and continuing to share many more game nights, meals, and memorable experiences in the years to come.
