Sam and Tyler have been friends since 2001 and share a love of all things Chicago. Some of their best memories together are going to the Grand Canyon for the first time after an incredible cross-country drive, learning how to play the saxophone from 5th grade through high school and, of course, being in Chicago the night their beloved Cubs finally won it all.
Adrian (Nat) Gentry - Person of Honor
Kara Harvey - Bridesmaid
Kateyln Scott Short - Bridesmaid
Kelsey Brannan Moore - Sister of the Bride
Sean Cornwall - Best Man
Sam and Sean have been friends since 2007 and immediately bonded over hockey and video games. Some of their favorite memories include rooming together on the high school band trips, spending time at Sean's family lake house and watching each other try to survive two separate trips to New Orleans.
Alex Dyess - Groomsman
Sam and Alex have been friends since 2014 when they met at the University of Kansas and have continued a friendship steeped in basketball and music ever since. Some of their best times involve an eventful basketball band trip to Dallas, ridiculous Jamaican food in Toronto and the countless upon countless hours spent playing basketball together at the KU Rec Center.
Ryan Cornell - Groomsman
Sam and Ryan have been friends since 2003 and quickly realized they were the two best catchers in their age group playing baseball for O'Fallon's Booster League. In their over two decades of friendship, they have taken in a Kansas and Boston concert outside in the middle of a tropical storm, survived Ryan's celebrations the night the Eagles won the Super Bowl and seen Sam fork over likely hundreds of dollars to Ryan on the poker table.
Tony Scinta - Brother of the Groom
Sam and Tony are just 14 months, 7 days, 3 hours and 30 minutes apart in age, and yes you absolutely better believe they've done the math, and as a result spent their childhoods doing nearly everything together, for better or worse.
Even as the older brother, Sam looks up to and deeply admires the man his "little" brother has become - as a husband to his wife Savannah, as a son to his parents and as a brother.
Some of Sam's favorite memories with his brother were spent exploring the woods behind their childhood home, making prank calls to Hawaii in the middle of the night because places were still open there and flying halfway around the world to watch him marry his best friend in Santorini.
