Olivia & Jesse
Wedding Party
Patrick Riley
Best Man
From Fairfax, VA. Pat and I played sprint football together at West Point. Although Pat was recruited as a quarterback, he finished his senior year as a left tackle beside me. He is truly one of the funniest people I have ever met, and his humor helped me jump out of the plane at Airborne School. We swore we would be each other's best man when the time came, and we both get to fulfill that promise in the fall of 2020. He is currently stationed at Fort Bragg, NC.

From Marhsville, NC. Donnie and I grew up together as kids, but hadn't talked much until I started dating Olivia. Now, he is like a brother to me. His eyebrows and wit are unmatched.
