brother of the bride, future brother in law
"stan" or "jack" is his sissy's favorite person. sam and ken could not imagine a more fitting person to help them say "i do" than their little brother. fun fact, stan was sam and ken's engagement photographer -- and he had no idea until sam was down on one knee!
brother of the groom, future brother in law
sam's oldest brother and one of two family "stan's", he will be one of many golden bears in attendance (sam & stan's college football mascot).

when ken first met sam, he was living with his brother tj. after many nights of watching movies, sports, and video games all at once, ken now speaks Olsson brother as fluently as most.
cousin of the bride
kate and kendell were born cousins and soulmates. they're happiest moments are together, in warm weather, by a body of water.
friend of the groom
tyler "tkenn" and sam have been best friends since kindergarten, where no puzzle went undone; they grew up within walking distance of each other and always have the funniest phone calls now that they are further apart.
friend of the bride
(girl) sam and ken met in middle school and have been friends ever since. their forever bond solidified when they got married in math class and barely left their high school art room.
friend of the bride
gisi and ken met in college, freshman year; they were in the same public health program. they've done life together since.
