Best Man
Oddly enough, Joshua and Matt did not start out as friends. When they were in the 8th grade choir together other students kept confusing them for each other and this irritated Joshua to no end! The following year Joshua and Matt actually met each other and found they had similar interests with one of the most important ones being video games. They were also in every choir together at in a few of the theatre productions at their high school. What followed was over a decade long friendship that includes late night snacking, late night gaming, and many inside jokes. Matt is proud to call Joshua one of his two best men!

A few months after meeting, Joshua and Matt followed Austin home after they received an early dismissal from school. The three spent the next two days locked up in Austin's house due to the two consecutive snow days and they bonded over many hours of Mario Kart. Austin, Joshua, and Matt spent the next four years playing video games late into the night, taking trips to Walmart (looking for sweet treats and hams!), and drinking way too much Dr. Pepper! With life long friends like these two, Matt is excited to have them as his Co-best men!
