Wedding Party

Mike

Groom

Jonathan

Groom

Kyle

Best Person

Kyle has been my other brother from another mother. He has been in many adventures with me from HS Tennis to their birthday celebrations in Vegas. Kyle's the best! Not only is he the smartest person I know, he's the best-est friend a guy could have. We're so proud to have him stand up wedding.

Chad

Best Person

Chad and I became friends during my 4 year stint in Columbus, OH. New to Columbus and wanting to learn the city, I became friends with Chad through mutual friends. I like to say that Chad is the reincarnation of Blanche from the Golden Girls. And like Blanche, Chad not only introduced me to the Columbus nightlife, but also his famous cosmopolitan cocktails.

Carla

Best Person

She is sassy. She is classy. She is Carla, my trusted friend and long-time confidant. She is so supportive. No matter where we are in the world, Carla and I have always caught up, shared mutual love for everything nerdy, and run races together. She has been and is a supportive figure in Jonathan and I's relationship.

Joel

Best Person

Hailing from Milwaukee, Joel's aspirations in life as high as his hair. When Mike and I started dating, Joel was one of the first friends I introduced him to. Joel's first comment was, "I didn't know you were dating someone?!" followed up by, "Mike seems like a keeper, JD!" I didn't know it at the time, but it turns out Joel was right about Mike :]

John

Best Person

Without a doubt, John is my best brother in the whole wide world. He has exemplified what it meant to be family, especially when I came out. Love you, bro! John has always been the life of the party, and we can't wait to see his moves on the dance floor.

Erin

Best Person

Erin has been my big sister for going on 37 years now... and she's always accepted my kid-at-heart personality. The best part of growing up with Erin is now getting to spend time with her; my brother-in-law Adam; and 3 nephews Aidan, Ethan and Ian. Mike and I enjoy feeding my nephews sugar-based foods and letting their parents deal with the repercussions.
