Ashley and Maddie met on September 20, 2012 in their college dorm lobby as Maddie was coming back from celebrating her birthday. Maddie asked Ashley if she wanted a drink from her birthday flask and they've been best friends ever since.

Blake and Nick met in Navy boot camp after Blake witnessed poor Nick getting the crap kicked out of his stamp labeling kit across the room. After graduating from boot camp, they never thought they would see each other again, but by some miracle, they were stationed at the same naval base and became best friends.

Christin is the one who taught Ashley how to bartend back in college. Christin gave her a bottle of Jack and said figure it out LOL. Not many people understand their dark humor and their shared mental capacity, but that is what makes their friendship so special.

Casey is Blake’s oldest and best friend. He was the first to befriend Blake when he attended Union Academy High School. Even after 20 years, Casey will refer to Blake as his “Pookey Bear”. Both are gun-loving, bourbon-sipping, sexy SOBs who love their dogs more than most people.

“She’s kinda a bitch but she’s a fun time” Who would've known that when Ashley lived in Towson Maryland in 2018, she'd be living across the street from her best friend that she wouldn't met until 2021. This was when Jenna came to work for United Rentals and was on Ashley's team in Charlotte. Fate, it's a crazy thing.

Jacob is Blake’s cousin, but they have always been like brothers. Growing up together were some of Blake’s best memories. From family beach trips to being snowed in at their grandmother’s house playing Call of Duty and whoever lost had to go out in the snow and... well if you know you know, but anyway Jake and Blake’s relationship is a unique and special bond.

“This is my Samuel” as you’ll hear Ashley say, but don’t be alarmed, her name is Samantha. These crazy girls met during a MURPH workout in Charlotte NC in 2017 and have been friends since. It’s amazing what friendships will grow from starting at the gym.

Ryan or as Blake’s mother likes to call him “Stinky” is Blake’s youngest brother, and even though Ryan is a whopping 6’2”, Blake will always see him as his little brother and will always have his back, but just like how Andrew told Blake growing up, no matter how big Ryan gets Blake will always whoop his ass.

Jordan and Ashley first met while working at United Rentals in 2017 and became fast friends, especially with their desks next to one another (which was named Margarita-ville)). Even throughout the years and these two ladies have moved all over for work, but one thing that never changed was their friendship with each other.

They say it is always good to have role models in your life, and lucky for Mitch, he to not only got to meet Blake but also became one of Blake’s closest friends. Mitch and Blake could always find themselves being the 2 guys in the group to antagonize the group in arguments. One thing though, if you give Mitch a ride in the car check your doors for candy wrappers, he will stuff them where ever they will fit.

Ashley and Kaydi both started working for United Rentals in 2016 and built their 8 year long distance relationship off two days of a work meeting. No matter where they've lived and what the time difference was, these two have made sure to keep in touch. Kaydi is also married to a Blake and their wedding anniversary also happens to be April 24.

Blake met Maxx through their mutual friend Nick. Maxx is one of those smart, funny, and charismatic types of people, that Blake got to know on his trips to Orlando, sometimes visiting with nothing but the clothes on his back. Maxx is a financial advisor that is in his words “DTF... down to finance”.

Holly and Ashley are sisters with 10 years between them. As like all siblings these two had their share of antics. Ashley hitting Holly with a belt, Holly duct taping Ashley to a chair, this list goes on. Within their lifetime the girls have definitely grown closer to one another and Ashley cannot picture this day without her sister by her side.

Emery Samuel, Ashley’s second brother! It feels like just yesterday these two were in grandma and grandpa's basement playing with her Barbie’s and his G.I. Joes (Emery may deny the barbie part though). When E is in the room you are guaranteed to be laughing all night and this special day wouldn’t be complete with him being there putting the biggest smile on his little sister's face.

Ashley and Ci Ci met while both attending ISU together. Not long after that Ci became a part of the family officially when she married to Ashley's brother Ross. Ashley cannot imagine her life or family without Ciara and is so grateful that they were brought together!

If you ever hear Ashley talking about her brothers, one of them is this guy right here. Best friends since babies and the closest you’ll get to brother and sister while only being cousins. These two have always been close but when they attended Indiana State University together, a bond like no other was created. There’s not a single person in the world Ashley would want to marry her on this special day other than her big brother Ross.

Anna is Blake’s sister, and to be honest he was worried about the two meeting because they are so similar. When we say similar we are not kidding, they are both softball players, hard headed, stubborn, sassy, loving and are obsessed with the same reality TV shows. The moment Ashley and Anna met there was that sister spark and the rest is history!

Andrew is Blake’s older brother and Blake has always looked up to him as one does as a little brother even though Blake is taller. Blake always respected how much Andrew wanted to live a life in the service of others, and his family, and Blake will always cherish the memories he will have with Andrew.
