George was HPs last groomsman and HP was Georges first groomsman.

Please call Sam by “Tony Fettucini" and Cominsky by “Big Spaghet”.
Steve Pavlinec
Groomsman
Cominsky and Steve met in Chicago in 2016 on a group trip with friends. On the flight home their plane engine caught fire and that really sparked their friendship. George ended up moving in with Steve that following year and later worked for him, often referred to as his best employee ever. When they were working together, it would be rare to see one without the other, not because of work but because they enjoyed each others company. Fun fact about Steve is that he loves casinos.
Brandon Kirsch
Groomsman
Mike met Kirsch very early in college. The two were friends in their fraternity, but they really grew close together when Kirsch got him a job at the Clam Bake as an under-water ceramic technician and later moved up to server/bartender. Most Friday nights they'd wrap up their shift and walk right down to Rustys. Kirsch moved to Austin after college, but even still the 2 stayed close with each other. Fun fact about Kirsch and Mike is that they met 3 WWE wrestlers (the taller one in the photo) at a bar in Tampa thanks to Lippi.
Eric Katz
Groomsman
Katz is Cominskys first Jewish friend. They met very early in college and were both part of the same fraternity. While they were more acquintances in college, their freindship really blossomed when they started working at Scotlynn together. Going out together on weekends and taking countless trips. You may have at one point or another heard Cominsky say "Guh" over the past couple years and we have Katz to thank for that.
