Brother of the groom. He loves to play video games, board games and impersonate Gollum.

Bekka is the older sister of Erin and recently completed her M.D. at the University of South Dakota. She is now on the interview trail for Internal Medicine and Family Medicine Residency programs. Bekka would always instruct Erin that her theme should be timeless not "wow factor." Needless to say, this wedding could not have happened if it wasn't for the hours of phone conversations, FaceTime sessions, and thousands of text messages about wedding plans with Bekka. Bekka also served as the calm mediator between Kris and Erin. For those of you who have met Kris and Erin or have seen them together, it shouldn't surprise you that a mediator was much needed. Thank you, Bekka!

Friend of the groom - Nubby (aka AJ) and Max met in college. Where to start with nubz... first off he's a compulsive planner and probably would have this whole wedding finalized weeks ago. He still owes Max $500 for a new laptop which he spilled Kool-Aid on Sophomore year of college. But even after all that, they have stayed great friends. Feel free to make small talk about fantasy football with him, 50/50 chance he ends up on the floor throwing a tantrum. Oh btw, AJ just had his first child, Aubrey. Welcome to the world little nubby!
