My sister has been my first friend, my favourite enemy, and my babysitter for most of my young life. She's seen me at my worst, and also helped me grow into who I am today. I couldn't imagine this day without her by my side. My sister is also my best travel partner, and thanks to her being such a hard working Delta flight attendant for so many years, I've had the privilege to visit so many places around the world. This picture is from our trip to Mendoza, Argentina - getting to try Malbec wines from one of the best places where it is cultivated.

Bria & I have known each other since my freshman year of high school. We've been through thick & thin together, and she's been a huge influence on the person I am today. I can't count how many weekends we've spent hanging out talking about our goals in life, playing D&D or more recently theory crafting about Genshin Impact lore. For the longest time, Bria was in fact my "wife" on Facebook - but she has very graciously decided to be one of my bridesmaids & let Brett take that spot on socials.

Rachel and I first met at Westfield High school on the colorguard team. Surviving band camp together that first scorching summer forged our bond and we've been friends ever since. One of my favourite memories from the early years was during one of my visits as she was studying at VCU - we spent the weekend exploring the hidden treasures of Richmod, and sun bathing on the shores of the James River. Even as Rachel moved across the country we've stayed in touch and it is my honor to have her be a part of my wedding, just as I was for hers a couple years ago.

Chau & I met in the Virginia Tech Library all the way back in 2015. Along with a couple other friends we bonded over all night study/cram sessions, visits to downtown Blacksburg for Happy Hour, and sunrise hiking trips along the Appalachian trail. Even after our time at university ended, Chau & I remained close friends as he settled into his new home in Baltimore, met his wife Vu, and we both started our new lives as "adults".

Annie & I met "on the job", in the fall of 2016 right after I graduated from college & returned to the Northern Virginia region. In an very short time, we grew from work friends to best friends, as the two of us learned how to juggle work, dating, social lives & being fur moms. Annie's love for running even convinced me to try out the activity and we would often meet to jog the W&OD trail together on summer evenings. Later on in 2018 Annie referred me to work at a new company with her, Intelsat. This proved to be an extremely good idea, as after I joined she brought me along to a team Happy Hour, where I met Brett :) Team A2 for Life!

We met in High School, I was introduced to Nick because we both played Diablo II at the time. We spent way too much time riding around in our friend Brian's car listening to Rihanna with the windows down, watching movies at regal where we both worked, and playing video games together. Now-a-days we meet up online frequently to conquer the latest survival games. Nick is now a father, a husband, and the best friend I could ever have.

We met when I was born, specifically she is my sister. We spent many a day singing all the Disney and boy band music riding around in her car! She is always someone that I look up to and I am proud to be her little brother. Now-a-days we talk as much as we can despite our super busy schedules and I know no matter what, she has my back! Felicia is a mother to Kathryn and Teddy, a wife and realistically the best damn sister this world could have given me! Love you Felicia!

We met in HighSchool, home room to be exact. We spent many a nights around the creek party campfire, and always loved people watching whenever we got the chance (especially during lunch at school). Now-a-days we meet up online for some Jackbox, we still hang out around the campfire at creek party (over 15 years and counting) or meet up in person to have some fun together with their son, Owen! Audrey is now a mother, a wife, and still THE best artist I have ever met.

We met through work, Paul was a customer of my first company (Optimal Satcom). We spent a TON of time together on our `breakthrough` work project (you know, the kind that sets in motion your career to some extent?), and meet up whenever possible. Now-a-days we like to meet at Paul's home to hangout with his whole family, go on beach trips together, or meet at a nearby arcade. Paul is a father, a husband, and one of the hardest workers I have ever met!

We met at Intelsat primarily centered around Extra Life and Happy Hour. We spent a lot of time wandering about the town, galivanting around the country, and generally having a blast. Now-a-days we meetup when we can, play the occasional video game, and stay in touch as best as possible! Chris is a husband, and one of the most fun people I have ever met.

We met at Intelsat around the time of my First Spartan Race (which I only had 2 weeks notice for). We spent a mix of time on the soccer field, online playing video games, playing table tennis, and building things! Now-a-days we meetup online as much as possible to chat, show each other new designs of crazy projects we are working on, and occasionally play video games together. Abhishek is a husband, a soon-to-be father, and one of the smartest people I have ever met.
