Brett and Jeff met over a decade ago when Brett started dating Jeff's oldest cousin Kelli.

Over the last 10 years Brett and Jeff have developed a brother-like friendship spending at least one or two nights a week hanging out together as well as going to 49er games, Vegas trips, and golf outings. Although they are now family, most would agree their friendship would have formed regardless as the two are very much alike and love spending time together.

Michael Brienzo
Groomsman
Michael was born in the bay area and lived in Los Gatos until he was 2 years old. His family moved to Japan for several years before they returned back to the states. Jeff came home from school one day in fifth grade and told his mom that he had made a new friend at school, only to have his mom explain that he was already friends with Michael before he left for Japan. Both families became very close from this point on, including his sister Rachel and their late mother Chris. They have since shared most if not all their birthday's and holidays together and Jeff always has and will always consider Michael to be part of his family. If you can't find them, chances are they have found some sport or game to play against each other, normally just for the pride of beating the other.
Ian McCausland
Groomsman
Ian is Mikaela's younger brother by 5 years, so obviously he has known her his entire life! In his spare time, Ian can be found contributing to song writing for his band and hiking with Mikaela and her dog, Beau! Annual Tahoe trips with Beau are something they enjoy doing together too.
