Liam is a dear friend to both of us, and we agreed that there couldn't be a better choice to feed us our lines on our wedding day. Ever since Liam came on the scene (2011 for Nicole, 2014 for Ryan) he's been inspiring us both with his insightful worldviews and his ability to rock a collared shirt. Liam loves his Longhorns, a well-made cocktail, and lamenting the youth of today. We love having him as part of our lives and are so grateful he agreed to marry us!

Alias: Benny-Bob-Bear, Neb Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “Moo-oooove over butter” (sung). 5-year plan (probable): First-step, half-marathon. Second-step, mandolin solo to a roaring crowd (we have a big family). Third-step, the world! Don’t ask about: Wood Brothers concerts.

Alias: Dave Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “Ohhhhh wiiiiddddllleeeee wynnnneeeyyy wooooo….” (sung). 5-year plan (probable): Will have two sons entering their teenage years in five years. Check back five years later, but don’t worry, everything will be totally under control--totally. Don’t ask about: Singing at the wedding (his agent told us it’s a firm no).

Tara is my Matron of Honor and bestie of 11 years! During those 11 years we've been through good times, bad haircuts, and a LOT of wine and cheese. Through many life changes, she's been a constant support and feels more like family than a friend. Tara loves tortellini, spoiler alerts, and Elton John, and I'm so thankful to have her by my side!

Alias: Pandorf, Panda-man, B-ryan Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): You’ll hear his laugh—everyone will. 5-year plan (probable): Invents new designer line of Hawaiian shirts. You can’t afford one, but you want one. Don’t ask about: Road trip betrayals (and related indigestion).

Jess is the youngest and bravest of the Choe siblings! As a kid she was always trying to adopt every stray animal around, and she still goes out of her way to pet any dog in sight. When she's not serving our country in the Army, Jess loves sushi, outdoor adventures, and pretty much any activity that involves a high element of danger.

Alias: Antsy T, Uncle T, TC Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “We should probably move to the next place.” 5-year plan (probable): CutCo CEO (Miracle Blade was not hiring). Don’t ask about: His sick Lake Powell pick-ups and Armageddon (unless you want to hear Taylor and I sing the song and recite the entire script, just don’t).

Katie and I met in 2009 at A&M and as the "mom" of the group Katie has always taken good care of me along with everyone else! Katie is always ready to listen, even when our friendship has had to cross several state lines. Katie is laid-back, uplifting, and the best at cheesy dance moves!

Alias: Jarid (pronounced - ha-reed) Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “This is my song!” We get it, you can dance. 5-year plan (probable): Sleeps-in until 1 pm. Has some cereal. Solves the impending water crisis (we hope). Don’t ask about: Everything he learned attending law school classes (no seriously—he went to like four total, so he just won’t have much to say).

Mary and I met at A&M in 2009 and she's been stealing my french fries ever since. She is the most loyal friend you could ask for and her adventurous spirit has lead her to some amazing life destinations. Mary loves tacos, traveling, and attempting to embarrass me in public.

Lacey was my first real friend in college and an amazing roommate for 3 years! We spent a lot of Taco Tuesdays together drinking margs and eating all of the free chips and salsa. Lacey is creative, dedicated, and one of the best people I know at accomplishing the goals she has set for herself!

Alias: Jed Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “You don’t know me.” 5-year plan (probable): Space has no finite concept of “goals.” But, if he is going to stay in space-laser-related-defense, achieving more than a 2/3 success rate at work would be appreciated by everyone else. Don’t ask about: Paris with Sean. Most other things (that he remembers) should be fine.

Rachel and I met in 2011 in Memphis. As fellow Texans stranded in Tennessee, we bonded over how much we missed Mexican food and the Lone Star State. Her bright spirit and curiosity about life bring me so much joy! Rachel is empathetic, an amazing listener, and an all-around beautiful soul.

Alias: Ehnis, Shawn Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “The literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself.” (He’s a real upper!). 5-year plan (probable): Finally finding himself on a road-trip that he totally came up with all on his own. Don’t ask about: Paris with Jed; New Orleans.

Alias: T, Tim Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “I love you, man.” 5-year plan (probable): He’s not like a regular honey mogul. He’s a cool honey mogul. Don’t ask about: Elevator rides in the Colorado State University Chemistry building.

Sam and I met in 2012 when she became Tara's roommate and I unapologetically slept on their couch for the next several years. Sam is easygoing, generous, and one of my favorite weekend morning breakfast taco/bagel/leftovers buddies!

Alias: K-Ray, Man-Cat Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “I am Ryan’s third brother. Yes, the whole thing is kind of hush-hush. Same mom, different dad. It’s a weird story, actually…” 5-year plan (probable): Kyle will be up for tenure as a professor of general studies at Harvard, or, potentially, Metro State (both, being good schools and ranked very highly in general studies). Don’t ask about: Tahoe.

Alias: Z Almost-certain wedding quote (5 minutes of discussion or more): “I’m going to go catch this band later tonight at a real small venue in town. Rowdy Sheepskin. Welcome to join, if you know them.” 5-year plan (probable): Yupster 3.0 finally becomes a hit with the masses and you listen to everything recommended on the site. Drumroll: Zach is Yupster. Yupster is Zach. You probably also own his fake fire machine (which is totally better than Comcast’s “Fire” channel). Don’t ask about: Penny. Just kidding. Do ask about Penny. He has pictures.
