Besides always reminding Eric he is the oldest sibling of the family by her merely being born, Katie also keeps him young with her spirit and her drive to live life to the fullest. She is amazing and she encourages Eric to be the best big brother possible. Chris appreciates having a "fellow fifth-born" to bond with and appreciates her endless Snapchats.

Travis and Chris are so opposite they somehow couldn't get rid of each other, try as hard as they could for 27 years. Through ups and downs, near and far, days and distances Travis has always made sure Chris was doing things that were true to who he was in challenges and success. So happy he can be here from Texas for our special day!

Dave and Chris were 30-day roommates in 2012 and he is an amazing friend, partner on pastry runs and steady inspiration for recovery. He also keeps Eric entertained and in just the right amount of trouble while Chris is working. He helps Chris more than he knows and more than his humble nature will admit.

Eric has known Chari since college in 1991. They both were very active in University Theatre and worked blocks apart for 17 years in downtown Saint Paul at their mutual theatre jobs. Chari has been a constant friend and inspiration.

First just a sister of a college friend, then neighbor, then roommate but ALWAYS an amazing woman of tremendous love. Cookie has lived with the best of Chris and lived through the worst and was still there in the end. When Chris was at his lowest, her words that "the world wants you back" always rang in his ears. She is a blessing and we are so happy she can be with us!

What to say about Jase Roe? Jase is one of those friends you are so lucky to have. He is a constant source of inspiration. I have so much respect for how he lives his life every day. He is always there to provide support and wisdom and, of course, to have a good time! If you happen to be a fan of The Jason Show, you can often see Jase in the studio audience!
