Andre Ford
Groomsman
Andre and Tony met in 8th grade and have been like two peas in a pod ever since. Throughout high school you would probably find Tony at the Ford residence on any given weekend, probably enjoying the fine cooking of Mama Ford or admiring the finely manicured lawn courtesy of Papa Ford. Tony and Dre practically share the same hobbies and interests, especially the love of fine bourbon.
Brian Ford
Groomsman
Brian and Tony meet in 8th grade, through Brian's brother Dre. Brian is like an older and wiser brother. Wait, I forgot to mention how handsome he is. This has been a running joke throughout our friendship. Tony once had a girl tell him "you're cute, but not like Brian Ford cute." We share a love of finance and we both work for banks.
Matt Grange
Groomsman
Tony and Matt met each other through Andre Ford, as Matt and Andre were roommates in RVA. Matt relocated to Charlotte and Tony followed suit a few years later. The two became roommates for a brief period and their bond strengthened. Matt is always up for an adventure and he is the nomad of the group.
Johnathan Gilbert
Groomsman
Johnathan's wife and Heather taught together in Fort Mill. After a few group dates and attending the same gym, Tony and Johnathan found themselves meeting regularly for bourbon and cigars. Johnathan is a world class smoker, whether it's pork, chicken, gator, etc, its guaranteed to be delicious. His father-in-law would tell you that he is the smoking champion in the family though. Tony admires Johnathan for being a protector(officer of the law) and being father to the smartest and cutest little girl known to man.
