Best Man: Alan Darst

Alan is Andrew's older brother and best man. Andrew and Alan have been best friends almost since birth. They've shared countless memories growing up together - from snow football, to boating adventures, to memories at Mizzou. Alan owes Andrew big time as Andrew gets partial credit for introducing him to his wife Courtney - with whom he now shares two wonderful children EllieMae and Clayton - our Flower Girl and Ring Bearer.

Groomsman: Jarod Hahn

Jarod and Andrew first met playing trumpets (and goofing off) in the back of the classroom in 6th grade band class. In the years that followed, they would both quit band but continue their friendship - playing soccer together for several years in high school - and then visiting each other throughout college despite going to different universities a few hours apart.

Groomsman: Jeff Ingram

Jeff and Andrew met and became friends on the volleyball courts at Mizzou. Jeff was a graduate student geologist hailing from all over (Wisconsin, Colorado, Wyoming) who never ceased to entertain Andrew with his goofy stories and endless energy. Jeff and Andrew have stayed busy since Mizzou with volleyball, ski trips, hiking trips, and plenty of golf. If anyone needs a 65-page travel itinerary created - Jeff is your guy.

Groomsman: Jake Wascisin

Jake and Andrew went to the same elementary school, but really became friends after Jake beat Andrew in the 5th grade geography bee. They spent many afternoons/evenings playing pickup soccer in the neighborhood - and continued a variety of intramural sports throughout going to Mizzou together. Andrew always enjoys hanging around Jake, as there's never a dull moment and he's never met a stranger in his life.

Groomsman: Austin Darst

Austin is Andrew's younger, but much taller, brother. Andrew is proud of the fact that Austin followed in his footsteps in pursuing volleyball as a high school and college sport, and now coaches volleyball at the high school the Darst boys attended. Austin missed Andrew so much during college that upon graduation from Mizzou he moved in with Andrew for a few years to get some brotherly quality time.

Groomsman: Zach Rule

Zach and Andrew became friends on the volleyball court freshman year of high school. After playing together throughout high school, they spent lots of quality time together at Mizzou both on and off the volleyball court - and even coached together for a few seasons after Mizzou. Andrew and Zach also affectionately refer to each other as "brothers" - since Andrew's brother (Alan) and Zach's sister (Courtney) were introduced to each other by Zach & Andrew back in 2011 and were then married in 2013.

Ring Bearer: Clayton Darst

Clayton is Andrew's nephew and is sure to be an adorable ring bearer. Clayton's hobbies include laughing incessantly, running into just about everything, and eating everything in sight (especially desserts). Watch out for Clayton at the dessert table!
