Best friend for 10 years! Met in middle school and were attached at the hip all of high school. So much so that Anna played softball senior year so we could hang out more. There was no Hannah without Anna.

Cleo is the best play partner forever! She always matches my energy and is the biggest encourager and sunshine. I love to skate and run and pickle and spike ball with her always.

My OG Furman friend and lifeline! Emma made me love Furman, makes me die laughing, and is the most down for anything person in the world. Also the OG Hannah and Cole supporter.

My little Emme and best roommate who I never see! Nothing soothes my soul quite like a good convo and hug from Emme. She is loving, hardworking, and is teaching me everyday how to be a good wife!

So much life lived and memories made with Mack and thank goodness. So wise, so good at latte art, and is probably the only person who understands to pain of being told we are too loud (so many times).

The coolest person I know and just gets it. Will always be able to pick up where I left off with Maren and talk about anything under the sun. Also going to move in to our basement so we can hang out all the time.

Only God could have made MC and I’s path cross the way it did. Loving, steadfast, and knows how to kick my butt on a good run. Has a special perspective and connects with me in a way few people do!

To know Olivia is to think she is a girl boss. I will continue to convince her to move closer to me so I can be with her everyday, but I know she has to be the president in DC. She is wise, hilarious, and the best.

My biggest random blessing! Living with her and being her friend was the best surprise of senior year. Mini fam and hugging and twirling and dancing and laughing always with Paige.

By “random” chance, we became roommates in the beginning of our sophomore year. He has since become the fella I go to for everything, and he has been one of the most edifying people in my life. He also continually impresses me with just how much volume of food this man can consume, and he can fall asleep wherever, and whenever. Everyone needs a Denny. Can’t wait to do life side by side with this guy!

Funny enough, Adyn and I got close through Talbot after both of us visiting him up in Virginia together after he had moved. After that, the rest just flowed. It was just in the aftermath of COVID, and Adyn only lived a skateboard ride away, so he came over often for lengthy FIFA and Warzone sessions - times I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. He is also the only one out of ALL my groomsmen to even take an interest in kiting, so I got to have my first apprentice in him. Hannah’s bridesmaid, Paige, described Adyn as “he hugs you with his words”, and nothing could describe him better than that.

My only brother by blood, it has been the coolest thing to watch him grow up through the years. We didn’t always get along - partly because I’m just an older brother and enjoy annoying him, but also he was the biggest tattle I’ve ever experienced… so 🤝. He has since turned into my favorite surfing buddy, and I can’t be more excited to grow closer to him as life goes on. What a brother God has blessed me with!

We got close for the last 6 months of his high school journey (he graduated early to work at Pure Shenandoah - go check em out!) and formed a bond that truly can’t be broken. Have laughed and cried with this guy more times than I can count. His smile, laugh, and positivity are the most contagious things ever. Find a way to just talk to this guy for 5 minutes, trust me, your day will be made.

I am so thankful that Hannah has you as a brother, and now I will get to soon as well! This guy has the most childlike faith out of anyone I’ve talked to, and is a constant encouragement to me, and everyone that comes into contact with him. He has the coolest hobbies - a spectacular artist, climber, scuba diver, and the biggest dinosaur and marine life geek you’ll ever meet.

A man of many names: The Don, Don Dada, DP, Donald Pleasants, Donny, etc. He may have many aliases, but there is truly only one Don. He is the most loyal man you'll ever meet, and will willingly fight anyone at a bar that even looks at you funny while playing pool. Seriously good at golf, and has a nasty jumper, Don will out compete you in most anything except for Super Smash bros. (He can never beat me)

Sam has lived literally across the street from me since 2nd grade, and we became friends because I was bored one day and decided to walk over. From that day on, Sam has and will remain as one of my closest brothers who was also easily the fastest kid on the recess field. Sam is my favorite to sit around and catch up with, especially if he has a drink in his hand.

Julian is another friend since 2nd grade, we met during karate that we would do every day after school. Jules was always the friend I could stay up with until 3am playing Halo, and then also act in his senior year thesis for acting. If you want to get to know him, just look for the flyest Asian dude at the function - its probably him.

Nick and I became close junior year of college, only to find out that we wished we had met each other freshman year. We were all in the same friend group, and us two were the only ones to marry out of the friend group 😎 (He is married to Mackenzie - one of Hannah's bridesmaids). Nick is still the fastest and highest jumping dudes at recess and will 100% do a backflip on our dance floor. Not mad tho, just jealous.

"C5" and I became roommates our junior year, and he was easily the best roommate. Kept the house insanely clean (sorry bro), made us grilled cheeses and breakfast on his own whim, and is just the most genuinely nicest people you will ever meet. His other nickname is "Mr. Giggles" because of how often he is smiling and laughing. If you don't meet any of my other groomsmen, this one is my only non negotiable.

We became roommates our sophomore year and quickly bonded over making fun of Denny (easy target, granted). Conor enjoys the finer things in life - he even is creating his own company, Palate Pal, to automatically pair wines with your entrees at restaurants. Con is one of the most hilarious dudes I've met, and is the only person I will admit is better at accents than me. Especially the NY one. We even worked at the same coffee shop post grad where we would act like it was NY and berate each other while working... good times ya schmuck.
