Lou is Joe's best friend and has been since middle school so it only makes sense that Joe picked Lou to be his best man for his wedding day.

As college came, and Lou and Joe moved to different parts of the state, their friendship never wavered. Lou and Joe are pretty much in constant contact, keeping in touch every day and visiting each other as much as possible!

Although Kali and Kelly have lived many miles away from each other for most of their friendship, they always pick up right where they left off when they are together again. Kali is so beyond thankful for Kelly's friendship and for all of her help with wedding planning!
