Although they are long-distance besties now, they still find ways to FaceTime regularly and visit each other whenever possible.

Evie took Autumn to her first concert (Ke$ha) in 2011, and no matter where Evie's travels take her, Autumn has visited (Dublin, Providence, and NYC, to name a few!) The two are very similar and will usually be in a corner laughing somewhere. Fun fact: they have matching tattoos!

Jeff and Nick bonded over their love of their blue-collar jobs. They love to talk shop over some brews and learn about each other's day-to-day lives.

Groomsman
Nathan and Nick found early on that they could bond over anything related to sports. Not just Autumn's brother, but also a respectful and stand-up person that Nick enjoys to be around. They will bond for the remainder of life over golf, side bets, and waiting for a Lions superbowl win.
Groomsman
Drew and Nick share the common trait of being easygoing. While they've had their fair share of ragers over the years, Nick has always found Drew to be calm and centered. They've run 5ks, hiked mountains, and are the current scramble champs in Miramichi. Drew has been nothing but chill and honest for over ten years of friendship with Nick.
Groomsman
Fred is Nick's dad and is known as "Pops" to many people. Pops and Nick bond over Detroit sports, especially the Lions. They've enjoyed music, food, and life together for almost three decades. As of late, golf has been a great way for them to spend four hours together, along with Nick running his concrete company through Pops' house.

Ethan is Nick's younger cousin and has helped Nick learn how to babysit (poorly) over the years. These days you can find them playing video games together, chatting about cooking and baking, or hooping in the driveway. They've been friends since Ethan was able to hold a controller in his hands.
Groomsman
Ryan is one of Nick's younger cousins. They once ran a company together for a few weeks and generated very little income. They also bond over video games, Lions football, and now golf. Ryan is a helpful and ambitious guy and is definitely going to shoot a hole-in-one before Nick will.
