Bridesmate
Best friends since 1st grade. Katrina has been there through it all. We're talking that beloved emo phase, twinning in the weirdest outfits, leaving parties to get fries and watch movies, and so much more. She's a fiercely loyal friend and it all started from me wanting to be part of her "club." So shout out to my younger self for knowing what was up!

To know her is to love her. There are just so many things I could say about my Ern, but most of all I'm just grateful to have her energy, support, and love in my life. To her solo trips with Onyx, our trips to the island, all the memories (good and bad), she's the Ern to my Krn and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The first friend I made at Salisbury and still kickin’ it 10+ years later. Tbh there probably wouldn’t have been a Bonez without a Hannah so we were doubly blessed with both. Hannah is just one of those friends that is forever holding it down, picking it back up, and getting silly in the process. Grateful for the cuddle puddles in her bed at Salisbury, her being the best dog mom to Bonez, and her endless unwavering support.

My Keeks, Keke Jay, Kelly Kones- the ultimate silly goose friend. If there's someone who is down for a good time it's Kelly. No one else I rather go to a winery with (despite my clear distaste of wine), scream sing karaoke, and dance the night away. She's like a fine glass of wine or better yet a nice aged whiskey. Ask her to make her goose sound.

The most comforting soul around. Life wouldn't have been the same without my weekends in Baltimore sleeping in their bed, dancing in the club, and just processing life. We've grown through so many phases of life together and I couldn't imagine them not being a part of this special day. It's they/them so don't get it twisted yall
Best Man
My big brother. We grew up playing with legos, video games, and playing outside. We spent summers going to the pool and lake, and watching movies late. So many hours spent on our World of Warcraft addiction together. When I was scared as a kid, he would comfort me and tell me its ok. He never kicked me out of his room when I had a nightmare and barged in in the middle of the night. We’ve laughed a lot together, argued a lot…sometimes cried, like when he shot me in the face with an airsoft gun…or when I karate kicked his throat. But we would always make up fast and be friends again. Hes smart, loyal, and can lift like 600lbs…seriously. If he flexes his tuxedo might rip off.
Groomsman
Logan. Locus Brocus Otis. RoboLogan. We became friends in our high school team sports class. We would hang out almost daily playing madden and talking about life. Eventually we would become roommates in college. You could find us running around our apartment at 2 am like 12-year-olds having a sleepover. Logan is an extrovert and has always been great at getting me out of my shell. He would often show up to my house unannounced and force me to hang out. You can find him on the dance floor doing “the worm”.
Groomsman
Fat Pat! Mr. Pete! First time. Last time. Alieum invasion. Friends since middle school that bonded over playing in an abandoned construction site. (Thanks economic collapse of 2008). Pat went to a different college, but we would get together during breaks to play poker or watch impractical jokers on tv. As adults, we both live in Baltimore and enjoy orioles games and trivia nights. If you can’t find him at the wedding, just look up. He’s like 7 feet tall. No, he doesn’t play basketball, don’t ask him. You can talk to him about golf though.
Groomsman
Will and I became friends around 8 years old when I headed a soccer ball into his face and made him cry. That started years of shared love over Star Wars and lord of the rings. As kids you could find us playing in the woods or at the nearby lake. As adults, he became my fearless kickball coach and led our team to multiple championships in our beer league. On a rainy day you can find him curled up with his two cats. On a sunny day, he’ll be at “tempo town”, his hand-built golfing range, in his backyard.
Groomsman
Nick and I met in elementary school. We would stay out late at the park together, scaring our moms. In 5th grade we became enemies…battling each other for the class presidency (I won). He’s always down to clown, whether its losing all our games in rec soccer, kickin back and playing mario party, or playing skeeball at a random bar and talking about life. If we are lucky we’ll easily spot him at the wedding rocking a thick mustache.
