“Anthony and I met as teenagers at a backyard hangout with mutual friends. We bonded over sports, music, and just wanting to have fun as kids. We have been good friends for over 18 years now.”

“Amanda and I have been friends since 8th grade. We played on the basketball team together, and I remember her texting me that she was moving into a house right up the street from me. 16 years later, we have been best friends ever since.”

“Amanda and I met in 2013 while working at County Market. I think the exact moment we became friends was when she fainted while working the cash register and I came to her rescue with a Gatorade. We definitely bonded over that moment. We continued to stay close friends after both leaving the grocery store, and after 11 years of friendship, I am so incredibly excited to stand by your side on your big day.”

"The day I met Anthony was back in Junior year. We started talking to each other on the bus, and he convinced me to get off at his stop. We spent the day playing Guitar Hero, BLASTING music from Yellowcard, Maroon 5 and Dave Matthews. After that first hangout, we practically became inseparable, Anthony was like a brother. Since then, we have been tight as hell. Thanks to Anthony, I've met some badass friends. It's been a wild ride from 2008 until now. The first time I met Anthony, I knew we would be brother's for life."

"Eight years ago, we were trapped in adjacent cubicles and little did we know that would be the birthplace of an enduring friendship. We found a shared love for two things: Keystone Light (extra classy) and the questionable hobby of trying to land said empty Keystone cans on the roof of the garage at the Latham house. We began hanging out after work and mastered the ancient art of burning meat on the grill with Nicky until 3AM in the morning. So, here's to the origin story of a friendship born in the chaos of the cubicles, fueled by cheap beer, and seasoned with a dash of questionable culinary expertise. Because let's face it, the best friendships are forged in the fires of mediocrity and sealed with the sound of cracking open a fresh ‘Stone. “OH MY.” Cheers, Anthony and congrats! 🍻"
