Chris and Brynn have been there for me since the "Staples" era that started back in 2020. Over the years, we have grown to become more than friends and I am glad to call them part of my family. In fact, sometimes Brynn and I are too alike and it is scary. Throughout the years, Chris and I have been able to experience a lot together. From his wonderful singing at The Weeknd show to constant nights where he yells at me for being so "great" at playing games to being a person I can call at any point during the day, I am glad to be able to call him my best friend. With Brynn, we also have grown constantly alongside each other. A lot of the time, I find Brynn to be the exact person I am in a different body. One part of my life that Brynn has been a big factor in is my music interests. We went to back to back concerts from Boston to Baltimore in the span of 12 hours and I will always applaud Brynn for doing my crazy concert ways. All of that aside, these two have been there for me and I only hope the best for them in the future.

This is Joe. The phrase "a man's best friend" typically refers to a dog but Joe is truly that. Someone who will always be there and support you from afar. One thing about him, he's always down to clown!

Chris and Brynn were some of the first friends Bowen made after high school and he has countless fond memories from their time together during what he likes to call the 'Staples Era'. One of Bowen's earliest memories of Chris is when he asked him the age-old question: is a mermaid a fish or a person? They spent that night at Staples debating the mysteries of the world. It didn't take long for them to become friends, thanks to their shared goofy nature and Chris's ability to bond with just about anyone -- even a rock, if given the chance. Soon after, Bowen me this soon-to-be wife, Brynn, whom he affectionately nicknamed 'Brynngymin Franklin'. If life were a game, Brynn would have maxed out her animal-handling skills because Bowen had never seen her without a dog, cat, or even a Penguin or Sea Lion by her side. His very first memory of her is when she walked into my aisle at Staples, holding the leash of the biggest dog he'd ever seen--seriously, this dog looked like it paid taxes. Her kindness to animals extends into the friend group as well--except for Preston, who can be a bit of an OP at times.

Alex met Chris in my first few days at a new position at the Norwich staples. It was clear to him early on that the people who worked there together were quite a team on the job as well as off the job. Everyone quickly connected as they shared similar interests in music, games etc. One day everyone had decided to take an afternoon escapade to Sonic. So a few of them packed into a car and made a road trip out of it. This was the day Alex met Brynn. Over the coming years would a friendship form that lasted beyond the bounds of professionalism as they all took their paths in life they still remained close. Watching these two take large steps in starting their lives together from moving in together to now getting married has been a great joy and testament to their bond and love for one another. Alex could not be more honored to be by their sides supporting them as they start the next chapter of their lives together.

Kaycee has known Chris longer than she has known Brynn. To this day she still holds it against Chris for not introducing them sooner. To make up for lost time, you’ll notice Brynn and Kaycee haven’t been further than 10ft apart since. Kaycee is Brynn’s (and Chris’s) roommate and can be considered an expert when it comes to being Brynn’s MOH, best friend, sister from another mister, etc… In her free time Kaycee likes long walks on the beach, running marathons, and lying.

This is Thalia. If you were to tell her freshman year of high school that she'd be standing next to Brynn on her wedding day, she would tell you you're crazy. Thalia will light up the dance floor all night long and try to hold back from choreographing a flash mob. One fun fact, she will always be down for a sweet treat!

Zilin is a first year law student (shockingly)! She got married when she was 22 and lives with her husband and two cats. Her favorite things to do is play card games, read books, and go to concerts! Her favorite color is yellow and her go to item is her pink hair clip from Scunci (because it holds all of her luscious Asian hair). She has been friends with Brynn since middle school and is so excited for her to get married!

Kendra met Chris through Staples, although they worked at two separate stores. She met Brynn through Alex, one of the groomsmen. The three solidified their friendship through group hangouts. Over the next year, they shared laughs and long lasting memories. Kendra loves to hike and play tennis with her friends. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and working on her art projects. She has a degree in Visual Arts, and is currently going to school for Graphic Design.
