Best friend since the age of 4. Boy-Meets-World watcher, fort constructor, s'more connoisseur, Destin companion, scrunchie aficionado, creepy-crawler maker, glow-in-the-dark swimsuit lounger, polar opposite, and all-around great person.

KRISTA KAY MCKINNEY

Go Tigers. Julia and Mackenzie became fast friends when they rode in a car together for 13 hours to Orlando in college. They sang badly to the Beatles discography and discussed highly intelligent ideas like, 'Isn't is weird that the ocean is like millions of water molecules just stacked on top of each other,' and the collective benefits of the cha-cha slide.

JULIA CAMPBELL

Kelsey and Mackenzie met on a bus during orientation weekend prior to attending Clemson when Mackenzie's mother loudly introduced Mackenzie to anyone who would listen. They roomed together for four years during college, saw countless shows together, had many philosophical discussions over hot pockets and brownies at 2 in the morning, and are so happy to still be in each other's lives all these years later.

KELSEY VELEMIROVICH

Meera Parekh is one of those special people that everyone gravitates towards. Mackenzie and Meera met each other at Clemson University in 2006, and quickly became the type of friends who could find shenanigans wherever they went. And shenanigans there were (and often still are)! 

MEERA PAREKH

Anna and Mackenzie were duplex neighbors when Mackenzie made the huge decision to move across the country to be with Evan while he was in law school. They immediately bonded over fermented foods, kombucha, yoga, and all things hippie. Plus she might have some of the cutest babies in the world.

ANNA TULOU ORR

Jennifer and Mackenzie have been friends since BGA middle school (the Old Campus, of course). They share a love of horrible chick-lit, modern fiction, bad TV shows, awesome TV shows, and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and smells. 

JENNIFER PAGLIARA

Chloe is Evan's middle sister and the linchpin of the Mayo family. She and Evan share a love for the Memphis Grizzlies, great food of all types, and clowning on other Mayos. She works as a knowledge consultant in Austin, TX, where she enjoys hosting friends and family every year for Austin City Limits. 

CHLOE MAYO

Evan and Daniel were fifth-grade classmates and Boy Scouts. They bonded over the eight-times-yearly shellacking the Boy Scout YMCA basketball team received. Neither thought that Boy Scouts  should mean forced adoption of Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons &amp; Dragons. They reconnected in 2006 when they discovered both would attend Vanderbilt University. Daniel works as a software sales executive in Nashville, TN. 

DANIEL RYAN

Evan and Chris met at Battle Ground Academy middle school, where both underachieved in multiple sports. They received an opportunity for redemption in 2004, however, when Battle Ground Academy high school founded a hockey team. Despite being unable to skate, both promptly signed up to chase glory in the rink. Chris and Evan also shared many adventures in the world of Norrath. Chris works as a financial analyst in Columbus, Ohio.

CHRIS ROLLINS

Evan and Jesse met in Charlottesville, VA during Evan's first year of law school. They are both passionate about the board game Settlers of Catan and great cinema. In addition to managing one of Charlottesville's most popular restaurants, Jesse is a fledgling filmmaker -- ask him about his short film!

JESSE LEICHTENTRITT

Evan and Geoff met at Vanderbilt University in 2006. In an anecdote that has been oft-repeated since, Geoff told Evan immediately upon meeting that he "considered himself something of a philosopher." He didn't know how right he was. Together, Geoff and Evan studied philosophy , muay thai kickboxing, stand-up comedy, and Halo 3 tactics. After finishing a Master's degree in English, Geoff lived and worked in Japan for three years before recently returning to the United States. He is also a published novelist.
