Courtney was Jourdan's first friend and roommate at UCONN, and from day one, they just got each other. Whether they were up late studying or blasting one song to reset before diving back in, they struck the perfect balance between focus and fun. When they go out, it’s all energy—dancing, singing, and laughing until they can’t anymore.

Mike’s twin brother and lifelong competitor. From hockey games to backyard brawls, Ryan was always the one pushing Mike to go harder, think sharper, and never back down. Their bond’s built on grit, loyalty, and a whole lot of shared bruises.

Taylor and Jourdan met playing field hockey in high school, before Michael and J ever met—so Tay’s had a front-row seat to their relationship from day one. She’s one of the most caring, down-to-earth, and unapologetically goofy people they know. Whether catching up, reminiscing about high school chaos, or just laughing at something completely stupid, Tay always brings good energy. Jourdan couldn’t imagine this day without her.

Mike met Max freshman year at Fairfield, living across the hall. Late nights in Max and Drew’s dorm were a mix of EDM, and half-baked theories. Max always had some wild idea brewing—like building a full bar in their townhouse junior year, or deciding to fix up a beat-up VW van during senior year lockdown. That project turned into a full engine swap, and somehow, they pulled it off. Max brings the adventure and the follow-through.

Emma is Michael’s sister, and one of the easiest people to be around. Her and Jourdan have bonded over baking sessions, the occasional yoga class, and of course, the mutual joy of pestering Michael. She’s thoughtful, laid-back, and always down to hang out. Jourdan is very excited to soon call her a sister.

Mike’s cousin, two years younger but somehow always in sync. Summers at their grandmother’s beach house in Winthrop were legendary; chasing crabs, filming GoPro documentaries and writing in their diving log about sea creatures like they were on National Geographic. Timmy’s the kind of guy who turns a simple day into a full-blown adventure, and he’s been part of Mike’s story from the very beginning.
