Second born but first one to have his life together. If this were House of the Dragon he would be the Aemond to the groom's Aegon. The groom wouldn't be who he is today without him.

Really bad at texting, SUPER great person. Still unsure how the bride got a friend as great as her.

More like a brother than a friend. Not sure he could ever beat the groom in basketball, but that's about the only way the groom will ever be any better than Clay.

Tolerated the bride as her college roommate for FOUR WHOLE years.

Whether its a party in Fortnite or Call of Duty, or playing basketball back in Council Bluffs, Brody is the biggest smack talker this side of the Mississippi. He has been an extremely valued companion on nights while the bride is away during her PA rotations.

Not afraid to use her teacher voice to keep the bride in line.

A true friend since freshman year of college and the only person crazy enough to go along with all the bride's outrageous ideas.

The friend that keeps getting better & better. . . some would say she deserves a “most improved” award year after year!

Taylor & the bride share the same great-grandparents, as well as the same aspiration to be as fun & care-free as the bride’s grandmother, Janet. No Shudak gathering is ever complete without an appearance from Taylor & the bride. When it’s just one of them, they are quick to call the other and spill the tea.

Caitlyn is the reason we are able to have this celebration in the first place. We are honored to have her be the person responsible for overseeing the ceremony . . . if it goes well.
