Best Man
Austin and Tyler have known each other since kindergarten, and were in school together all the way until college! In middle school they got in a "disagreement" and ended up being suspended from school for a week. But they figured it all out, because they've been best friends ever since. Austin played football for the University of Wyoming, he just graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and he is 6'5" tall.
