Jamison Cruce
Groomsman
Jamison and Alex met through mutual friends in DC and quickly got to know each other over beers at Capitol Lounge and dinners together with their significant others that ended way later than they should for a weeknight. Jamison is hilarious and always the life of the party.
Harold "B" Jones

B is Alex's grandfather and idol. Growing up, Alex would always spend time with B, helping him with projects around the house and listening to stories about their family history or his time as a tail gunner in World War II. Alex has always looked up to B and strives to meet his example of what a husband, father, and grandfather should be. He is the last of the greatest generation and a national treasure.
