Dylan and Zach were randomly paired as freshman roommates at UTSA, and what started as chance quickly grew into a lifelong friendship. They lived together all four years while also playing side by side on the UTSA baseball team—Dylan in the lineup and Zach on the mound. After years of shared games, road trips, and memories, Zach became more like a brother than a friend. Dylan couldn’t imagine anyone else standing next to him as his best man.

Dylan met Sage soon after arriving at Texas A&M through some mutual friends, and they quickly became close. From workouts and hanging out on the couch to long phone calls over the past few years while Dylan was playing pro ball, Sage has been a constant friend despite the miles. Their easy-going friendship, laughs, and shared memories have meant a lot, and Dylan is honored to have him standing by his side.

Dylan and Chase came into UTSA baseball together in the same class, sharing the outfield and countless memories along the way. Whether it was Dylan tossing his glove to stop balls in batting practice or Chase putting his helmet on backwards claiming, “Look, I’m an alien,” the two were always goofing off and usually getting yelled at together. From those early days of baseball to now, Chase has remained one of Dylan’s closest friends, and he’s honored to have him standing by his side.

Dylan met Chase their freshman year at UTSA, where Chase was a catcher and infielder in the same incoming class. The two quickly hit it off, whether it was trips to College Station with the boys or dressing up as Mötley Crüe for Halloween—Chase as Vince Neil and Dylan as Nikki Sixx in what became Dylan’s favorite Halloween ever. From baseball to late-night laughs, Chase has been a constant friend through it all, and Dylan is grateful to have him standing beside him.

Ryan joined the UTSA baseball team Dylan’s senior year, and the two became fast friends in the outfield. Beyond baseball, they connected over their shared faith and conversations about business plans. They’ve shared plenty of laughs too—like Ryan pulling the car over to chase a pack of wild pigs on the side of the road, or their trip to Lubbock to watch the Texas Tech baseball regional. Dylan is honored to have Ryan standing with him.

Jake and Kailee met in sixth grade at Hill Country Fellowship Church youth group and have been inseparable ever since. For over ten years, their friendship has been filled with jam sessions, road trips, and countless inside jokes that only the two of them understand. Jake’s loyalty, humor, and shared love of music make him one of the bride’s most treasured lifelong friends.

Kailee and Jacey met at a 21st birthday party in college and quickly became inseparable. They spent years trading off long drives between Austin, College Station, and the Texas Panhandle just to see each other. Over the past five years, Kailee has had the honor of standing by Jacey’s side as her bridesmaid, and now she’s thrilled to have Jacey by hers. Their friendship has only grown stronger with the addition of Jacey’s sweet little boy, Brently, who has become part of the family too.

Emma and Kailee met just before their 1L year of law school and have been tackling the adventure together ever since. From finals-week sleepovers to endless study sessions (and plenty of laughs in between), they’ve built a friendship rooted in encouragement, caffeine, and surviving law school side by side.

Ashley and Kailee first met in college during a hands-on science class, where they bonded over building towers out of tape, marshmallows, and spaghetti noodles. What started in the classroom quickly grew into a lasting friendship. They reconnected over their shared love of coffee and country dancing, meeting up at least once a week before Kailee moved to Louisiana.

Colby and Kailee first met at transfer orientation at the University of Texas and were lucky enough to land in the same class their very first semester. After graduation, Colby started at LSU Law a year ahead and played a big role in convincing Kailee to become a Tiger too. For the past two years, they’ve taken on law school side by side, and this past November Kailee and Dylan had the joy of celebrating Colby’s wedding in Mexico.

Camryn and Kailee grew up in the same small town and became close while cheering together in high school, bonding over pre-game car jam sessions and late-night practices. Since then, Kailee has had the honor of standing by Camryn’s side at her wedding, and they’ve added two of the best little buddies to their crew—Camryn’s sweet sons, Asher and Knox.

Brooke and Kailee have been inseparable since they were just five and six years old, when they first met while cheering competitively. Their parents became close friends too, which meant Brooke and Kailee got to spend just as much time together outside the gym as inside it. Over the past 20 years, they’ve shared countless lake days, horseback rides, country dancing nights, and so much more. Kailee had the joy of standing by Brooke’s side at her wedding and couldn’t be happier to now have Brooke stand by hers.
