Best Man
Grant is the epitome of what a best man should be. He has been my best friend for 7 or 8 years now and has known Kristen since her and I started dating. He saw our relationship grow and was there to see us fall in love. He has been one of our biggest supporters and could not imagine anyone else standing by my side as I marry Kristen. He will always be my wing-man and I know at a drop of a hat he is ready to FLIGHT SUIT UP!!! Thanks for always being there for me bro beans!

From Kim: Kristen and I met when TJ invited us over for Kristen's birthday party without even knowing her and she was so nice and welcoming! Our relationship has grown so far in the last couple of years since we have known each other. I am so grateful for the friendship we have built together and no matter how long we go in between hanging out it's like we haven't missed a beat. You're so beautiful inside and out and I couldn't be happier for you and this wonderful time in your life!

Matt and I were in the same ward together and were friends. We played ball together and hung out occasionally. It wasn't until later that we became closer, now he is someone I rely on and consider one of my best friends. I have had some great conversations with him and love him and his family so much. He is an amazing husband and father and a great example to me for his dedication and love he shares with his beautiful wife and kids. Thanks for sharing this with me and being a part of this special day.

Tom was one of my first friends in Arizona. I was told when I moved here if I see an Australian Asian guy that he's a pretty awesome guy. I was at a party and talking with him for about 10-15 minutes and it dawned on me that this is the awesome Australian Asian guy. I am excited that he will share this day with us, as he has been a reliable and constant friend for the past 10 years. I won't hold his choice of sports team against him even if his choices usually leave him a yard short ;-) Thanks for always having my back and always being someone I know I can count on.

Jamie is one of the smartest people I know, but also one of the chillest. From all the game nights, late night Raising Canes runs, and random help I have gotten with my car. Jamie has become a great friend and I am excited that he will share this day with us and help drop the average age of my groomsmen.

One thing I will always have with my dad is the sport of basketball. Those who know me know how much I love to play basketball. I learned how to play from him, it was a big passion of his and we shared that passion. One thing I never got the opportunity to do was beat him in a game of one on one. He always found a way to win and to teach me how to improve. I think the most important lesson I learned from him came from basketball. He would always say be coachable. That helped guide me in almost every aspect of my life and as I build my family with Kristen, I still hear my dad whisper in my ear be coachable. He passed away in December 2016 and I miss him everyday but I know he is with me and still coaching me. He loved Kristen and I know will be there as we celebrate. I love you dad.

My mom has always been there for me. Bringing me Burger King after school when I had practice (plain grilled chicken sandwich, large Sprite and a Hershey Pie) driving me to everything and being at every event I have. When I was in high school and would go anywhere she would always say, remember who you are. As I grew up and thought about it, I know now that is more than a catchy phrase to keep me out of trouble. I know it means I am a strong man, raised by amazing parents that loved me and taught me how to be strong and a good person. It taught me that when I find someone to spend my life with remember the love my parents had for each other and build my family on those same strengths. I love you mom I will always be your little boy, even if I don't fit on a pillow anymore.
