I met Megan in my sophomore year of high school when she was a freshman. I started out only friends with Hannah who was the only other girl in their class. So Megan was always there with us and at first I thought she was annoying. We very quickly became close friends and have remained so for the last 7+ years!

I met Hannah in highschool, just like Megan but I was friends with Hannah much faster than I became friends with Megan. All 3 of us had math class together and that’s where our friendship started! We have lots of memories together from our highschool days and have made many more since then!

Kelly is my oldest sister and we’ve been even been roommates the last few years!

Kathleen is my second oldest sister and we’ve even been working in the same preschool classroom for the last couple of years!

Anna is my third oldest sister and she’s the one who got me my job as a preschool teacher at Oak Knoll Christian Preschool & Childcare!

Meggie came into my life about 7 years ago and then she married my big brother TJ and became my sister in law. She is very much like one of my own sisters!

Allie is my oldest niece!

Emelia is another one of my many nieces and she’s also one of my Goddaughters!

Rose is another niece of mine and another Goddaughter of mine!

Julia is my youngest niece!

Otto is one of my many nephews!

Kylian is another one of my many nephews!

This one is self explanatory but I wouldn’t be here without her!

This one is also self explanatory but I wouldn’t be here without him either!

Alice and I met through Emily about 5 years back when we were both in Emily’s wedding!

Emily and I met almost 7 years ago and I was also a bridesmaid in her wedding!

TJ is my big brother and I was even a bridesmaid in his wedding!

Jack is my little brother and I did most of my growing up with just him! Lots of fun times and lots of fights but we’re still good friends!

Noah is my only brother and the older by about 4 years. I spent countless hours with him and his friends as a child. He got me my first job and taught me how to work hard. Naturally, he was the only choice for the best man. -Ian Graziano

Jake is perhaps my oldest and most steadfast of friends. We met by our lockers in the 5th grade (some would say he pushed me). He's been with me through it all, and I can't be grateful enough to have him as a friend. -Ian Graziano

Tom is one of my closest friends. He and I met back in high school and have been friends ever since. He got my foot in the door of the company I currently work for. We also have been roommates in the cities for the past couple years. He of course also played a pivotal role in my conversion to Catholicism. - Ian Graziano

I've only truly become friends with Alex in the last couple of years, even though I have known of him since long before. We have been roommates for nearly the last two years. He was one of a few individuals that were instrumental to my conversion to Catholicism. - Ian Graziano

I and the rest of his childhood friends have been grandfathered in to call him Jack. Though he goes by John these days. When we are lucky enough to spend time together, we always manage to find our way to the most profound discussion available. He is a true friend. - Ian Graziano

Even though Payton now lives in Florida, I still consider him no less a friend. The rare opportunities I now get to see him in person, it feels the last time was only yesterday. I think a wedding is good enough excuse to call him up North once again. -Ian Graziano

I first met Joe nearly two years ago. He and several other men were a part of an exodus 90 group with my other roommates. Every Saturday for 90 days we played poker with the group. My closest victory was dashed by no less than Joe's dad, Dr. Zoop. - Ian Graziano
