Best Man
Since they met in 3rd grade, Tristan and Tristan have been best friends. They became friends because they had the same name, but became life-long best friends because they bonded like brothers. They grew up together going to school, cub scouts, and birthday parties. Now, when they get time, they spend it playing video games and Dungeons and Dragons as well as sharing stories, drinks, and memories.
