Best Man
Adam Bowe. Best Man. Marine Veteran. Adam and Eric grew up together in Shoreview, MN only a few blocks away from one another. If you ever see Adam and Eric together in person, run for the hills, as they are both likely up to no good. Word on the street is Rick Wall (Eric's Dad) is still investigating Adam as a 'subject of interest' from ding-dong-ditches that reportedly date back to the late-1990s.

She is always up for a fun time and she is the one to get people out of their comfort zones. That is going to be a perfect bridesmaid quality in this group!!
