Sanjeev Gupta
Groomsman
Sanjeev (Sunny) is a Groomsman. Yori and Sunny’s friendship started back in high school on the school bus, bonding over their shared love of T-Pain's hit "Best Love Song". Once Sunny got his license, he naturally became Yori’s full-time chauffeur. Despite attending universities in different states (Virginia Tech, University of Michigan, and later William & Mary), they stayed close, making trips to visit each other whenever they could. Even now, with Yori and Cori living in Arizona, Sunny has made the trek out to Globe to spend time with them. More recently Cori and Yori travelled to New York to celebrate Cori's birthday and spend time with Sunny.
Javier Saavedra

Javier (Javi) is a groomsman. Javi and Yori became close friends throughout middle school and high school, bonding over their love of football (soccer) and FIFA. They played on the same soccer team for about 10 years, from travel soccer to intramurals, forming a solid center back–goalkeeper pairing thanks to their mutual understanding. After high school, they both attended Virginia Tech, where they were roommates for three years — and where Yori took on the important role of teaching Javi how to clean.
Zack McIntyre
Groomsman
Zack is a groomsman. Zack and Yori have been friends since elementary school and stayed close through middle school, high school, and college. In high school, they played basketball together, and at Virginia Tech, their friendship grew even stronger — playing basketball daily and pushing each other to set personal best mile times (sub-5 minutes for Zack and 5:15 for Yori). Since graduating, they’ve kept up their tradition of hanging out, now spending most of their time catching up on the golf course.
Nils Roos
Groomsman

Chasen Harris
Groomsman

Since then, Chasen has been Yori's personal Phoenix guide, designated golf buddy, and #1 Catan competitor. They play in multiple golf events each year, both as teammates and rivals. Beyond golf, they’ve made a habit of traveling together — whether it's hitting the slopes on annual ski trips, relaxing on a beach in Mexico, or teeing off in Canada.
Benjamin Hoffman
Groomsman
Benjamin (Ben) is a groomsman. Ben and Yori became close friends when they were assigned as teammates during their first term at William & Mary’s MBA program.

Since graduating, Yori and Cori have made it a tradition to visit Ben and his family once every 2 years for Thanksgiving, whether in Kansas or, more recently, in Texas.
Rory Barber
Groomsman
Rory is a groomsman. Rory is Yori's oldest childhood friend and currently lives in the UK. They became close friends at Bishop Mackenzie International School (BMIS) in Lilongwe, Malawi, where they quickly earned a reputation as troublemakers — so much so that teachers had to separate them into different classes because of the confusion caused by their similar names. Despite going their separate ways after BMIS, they’ve stayed close, frequently traveling to see each other. Yori has visited Rory at Cambridge (while he was studying there), in London, and most recently, they returned to Malawi together, where they visited BMIS and went scuba diving in Lake Malawi.
Stephen Kline
Groomsman
Stephen is a groomsman. Stephen and Yori became friends during William and Mary's MBA program. They connected instantly on the first day of class and quickly set up their first golf date together. From that point on, they played golf almost daily and made sure to team up as classmates and project partners whenever possible. Since graduating, they’ve kept the good times going — from a mini golf trip to Lake Oconee to celebrating Stephen's wedding in Richmond.
