It is not uncommon to find Kevin and Zach at a random dive bar in New York speaking with the bartender about how Steve Buschemi was just there. (Seriously, every NYC dive bar seems to have Steve Buschemi as a patron). Kevin has been described by many as an all-American guy. Always willing to help out and lend an ear when his friends need him most. If there are any complex life issues you are working through wedding weekend, you can count on Kevin to help out if he can.

When you see Alissa at the wedding, ask her if she did Meredith's hair, maybe she did?
Dan Alon
Groomsman
Dan and Zach became close friends during their time at Marquette but continued as roommates in New York.

Dan has trusted Zach's advice more than any in his life always considering it to be insightful, impactful, and wise in comparison to his own thoughts. When you see Dan at the wedding, ask him which dog is his favorite, he tends to have 4-6 running around his house at all times!
