Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Best Man
'Twas a humid summers eve, the grass was rustling in the wind when out came a Snake. Known for its' snakebite, I cautiously rassled the giant snake to the ground in lieu of $40 owed. Nearly twenty years later, 'twas the makings of a Best Man.

Travis “T-Bone” Wiedower
Groomsman
'Twas a dark frigid winter night, the Polo Fields Gang was gathered at T-Bone's HQ. The gang decided to throw pebbles at a window in hopes of getting the attention of a woman. As the alarm sounded, the gang dispersed and spent the evening in the bushes, running from the law. A memory of many leading to a beautiful lifelong friendship.

Rob "Roberto" Aguece
Groomsman
'Twas a bright night in Long Island as a young king was born by the name of Roberto. Merely one week later his far more handsome, yet younger cousin arrived. These two oligarchs were now adjoined in reality. For at every stage of life, Roberto and Zach seem to live on separate yet parallel paths.

Ben “Timperton” Timpe
Groomsman
'Twas a crisp spring day at the Timpe Castle. As friendship was forged, two young knights began to grow hungry. Soon a smell of deliciousness engulfed the castle as it seems Momma Timpe was preparing a meal. The first of many, this meal solidified a friendship that would stand the test of time. Although the knights have physically grown apart, their friendship has only grown stronger.
Katy Davidson
Bridesmaid
“I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.” ― Jon Katz
Jason "J Bird" Rhein
Groomsman
'Twas a pitch black early morning when a young bull named Antwan blessed us with his presence. Over the years Antwan grew fond of J Bird and the feelings were mutual. It was love at first sight. With a new perspective, Birdman decided it was time to raise his own and along came Lucy. Years of friendship, parties and snuggle sessions between Antwan and Lucy only proved to solidify J Bird and Zach's friendship for life.
Hannah Kessler
Bridesmaid
“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” Khalil Gibran
Scott "Scottie2Shoes" Ferguson
Groomsman
'Twas a quiet, calm, majestic afternoon out on the flat glass seas of Newport Beach. Two aspiring captains set sail for the sunset. Without a cloud in the sky and the sun sitting high, we were approached by a fellow mammal, a dolphin. One turned to two, two turned to hundreds. We traveled the sea in a pack of dolphins larger than a football field. Swimming under and around our boat, jumping and gazing upon us as we gaze back. An experience few ever see, a memory we'll never forget, a friendship that will never end.
Brooker Forkin
Bridesmaid
“There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.”– Diana Cortes
Ben "Booshka Bear" Elsen
Groomsman
'Twas a cold black night as a clan of friends journeyed to the man cave. Upon entering, the cave felt even more frigid, but that didn't stop us from revelry. Booshka Bear, in his natural cave element, decided to light a fire. With one puff, the room lit up in blazes and the story of this journey became nothing less than a legend.
Summer Smith
Bridesmaid
"Some people arrive and make such a beautiful impact on your life, you can barely remember what life was like without them." -Anna Taylor
AJ “Hay-Zeus” Salerno
Groomsman
'Twas a subtle, calm afternoon in a quaint suburb. A game of basketball was underway when the shorter, yet far better player, proposed a drive-by of a local adversary. The two ballers gone rogue locked and loaded with paintballs. As one drove, the other took aim. The first of a lifetime of bad decisions together.
Amanda Kushner
Bridesmaid
“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” ― A.A. Milne
"Brendo With The Endo" Dunigan
Groomsman
'Twas a pitch black night at the Catherine house, Brendon and Zach had now been roommates for months, the only time either had ever actually shared a room with someone. During this time we perfected our greatest skill, killing zombies, round by round. After 46 rounds a record was set, leading to a friendship that will last past 46 years. Quick, throw a monkey!
