Groom
If you're reading this you already know John but read about those who get the pleasure of being his groomsmen. Made to be fun and witty just like the group of them! John is very pleased to have all of these great men by his side to say I DO. He has too many memories to share about all of them. Here are some of the best memories the groomsmen have of John.
Best Man
John and Ryker met during machining school. Here is Rykers favorite memory with John; My fondest memory with John is not a single one, but a collective of memories. Machining school, birthdays, getting me into the fire service, dinner in the cafeteria at QVCC to sushi nights. Meals were among my favorites. However, every time I've tried to have good golden french fries and John was around, they would always come out brown. Like it has yet to fail. John mentoring me in my early fire career was another highlight, but so was me mentoring him in machinist school. John was always over thinking something and just needed someone with a little more ADHD to see where his ADHD was doing him dirty. John's compassion and kindness have always brought joy even through the harder, and darker parts of John's journey, and although a part of that time, lies one of my favorite memories as well. Karaoke night was a fun time that I think we all enjoyed. John, every time with you is a good one.
Groomsman
Andy is John's cousin. One of his favorite memories with John is celebrating Thanksgiving at their Memeres and peperes house growing up. As kids we always ended up spending time together throwing a baseball, football, or frisbee outside. Then gorging ourselves on an incredible turkey meal and falling asleep watching the Bond-A-Thon on TV.
Groomsman
James "Monty" met John at the fire house. Monty's favorite memory with John is when they first met and John was super giddy to be showing Monty the new product he had developed at his job and was trying to get it out into the world! He was like a kid in the candy store.
Groomsman
John and Devin met in high school playing baseball together. Devin's favorite memory with John is that they have been best friends since the 9th grade and they've been side by side since! John was the first one to show up to Devin's coming home celebration after Devin served a tour overseas. And John was the first person to welcome Devin's wife into the 'family'.
Groomsman
Zack and John met at the firehouse (see the trend here?) Both with an obsession with Facebook marketplace and blue lights but bonded over the love of being a father and first responders. Zacks favorite memory is Sundays when both families hang out and have fires. Both of them eat enough for the entire family and leave no left overs. The amount of money they've eaten in steak combined could pay for the DJ for the wedding haha
