Justin House
Best Man
Dontel and Justin have been partners in crime since day one, growing up as cousins and best friends. Justin’s been there for the good and the bad times, but always knew how to keep the mood positive by cracking a joke at the worst time! From epic fails to high-fives. He’s also the fun uncle who lets Dontel’s kids eat his food with no questions asked and anyone that knows Justin, knows he won't share his food! Having Justin as his best man is not just about the wedding, it's about having his best friend and cousin by his side for one of the most important days of his life.

Jay and I first crossed paths while he was in EMT school playing football with some buddies, and from that moment, a strong bond was forged. Jay has since risen through the ranks to become a Fireman Engineer, embodying the courage and dedication that first drew us together. I had the honor of standing by his side as a groomsman at his wedding, and even had the privilege of singing for him and his bride. One of our most memorable moments happened on a camping trip before his wedding, where we shared a heartfelt moment as I sang "Latch" by Sam Smith—a memory that will always stay with me. Jay is one of those rare friends who, no matter how much time has passed, you can always count on. He's a brother in every sense of the word.
