We met in high school where we were 6A All-State football players in our dreams but Texas state robotics champions in real life. 10 years later, we have traveled across the country, worked together at our first job, graduate college together, and one day will watch the Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl together.
Eddie G.
Groomsman
We met whenever he first laid eyes on me I guess somewhere around 1997. As my older brother, he got me into so many shenanigans in our younger years and I wouldn't have it any other way. We shared one year of high school together and he claimed on his wedding website that he held my hand walking me to classes, which was a lie, of course. I actually crept up behind him while he was walking in a hallway with his girlfriend at the time and held his hand which freaked them both out. Checkmate bruh.
Stephen G.
Groomsman
We met whenever he first laid eyes on me I guess somewhere around 1997. As my oldest brother, he explained to me in middle school what an engineer was and how they could do stuff like design roller coasters which would end up changing my life forever. He once rocked a mohawk on our trip to see the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston and although that was such a 2000s thing to do, I've been forever jealous that he could rock what I never could.
Jacob G.
Groomsman
Ok, this one I kind of remember when I first met back when he was born into the role of my younger brother. Mentally, we are tag team champions for the WWE but we are actually a great tag team in real life. We shared a room for a while when we were kids and we once hid under the bed together when we saw our first "DO NOT PIRATE THIS MOVIE OR ELSE WE WILL BREAK YOUR VCR" ad before a movie. We obviously did not pirate a movie but they said it so confidently that we were spooked.
Derek G.
Groomsman
Ok, this one I absolutely remember when I first met back when he was born into the role of my youngest brother. As the youngest brother of five, he's had to fight his way through adversity, which I've admired forever, but I think by this point he can finally sit with the rest of us at the dinner table and not on a high chair. For some reason, he is taller than me and I'm quite certain people have thought he is my older brother.
Harrison G.
Groomsman
This one is tricky because I am only several months older than him so we met each other at the same stage of our lives as kids. Although he lived many miles away, we developed a strong relationship together as we tried to tackle our pre-teen years and I'm so grateful I had someone who shared the same experiences. We once tried to start a virtual band back in like 2010 and obviously, that did not go well BECAUSE IT WAS 2010 WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE SMARTPHONES. More than a cousin, he and his siblings Madycyn and Spencer are our brothers and sister.
Justin G.
Groomsman
Ok, this one I kind of remember when I first met back when he was born into the role of my cousin. He is such an enthusiastic person to be around and I'm glad to have shared my own experiences with him so he can one day take the world by storm in whatever career path he chooses. He is also taller than me so I feel like a child whenever I stand in between him and Derek. More than a cousin, he is our brother.
Jacob R.
Groomsman
We met in 2017 while we were both trying to court the Rodriguez ladies. Over the past several years, I've gotten to know Jacob as he transitioned into a full-time Texan. You may occasionally spot us discussing our latest 3D printing adventures or getting demolished as we fail to win a single game mode while we online game 1,100 miles away from each other. I'm honored to include him as my groomsman as we ride off into the sunset (virtually) as future brothers-in-law.
