Megan and Emily met in 4th grade in Mrs. Marshall's class and crossed paths in the years after. It wasn't until 7th grade that they became inseparable due to only having each other in their classes in middle school and also being the same person. From hanging out in Emily's basement after school to way too many concerts to count, their friendship only grew stronger. When it was time for college, Megan had her heart set on Iowa since she was little. This was exciting for them. They could experience 2 new college towns and meet the new friends each other had made. They have continued being best friends throughout their adult lives and are there for each other through anything life throws their way. When Emily got engaged, there was no question about who she wanted to be her maid of honor!

Potter and Myre met when they were rushing the same fraternity in the summer before their freshman year at Mizzou. Both wearing the exact same black polo ralph lauren t-shirt with the red horse on the day they met. Potter changed his shirt to something else in his truck, so they weren't the weird dudes in the same shirt. Ever since then they've been the inseparable weird dudes in different shirts. Myre lives in Kansas City with his wife Alyssa (the bridesmaid).

Ryan met Lauren when he was born. She nicknamed him Charlie Barley possibly knowing he would one day love beer, and formally Charles Barls. After Ryan got out of college, Emily started to appear with him. Going to trivia night at Westport Ale house every Thursday with Dad and Grandma where they would consistently win and take home prizes with help of family and friends. This has led to filling up the sunroom on 3730 Jarboe. Lauren and Emily were always designated to write the answers, as we know Ryan would not be designated for that role. Trivia night allowed a lot of time for Emily and Lauren to grow closer. Lauren now lives in Venice Beach with her Fiance Adam.

Eric is Emily's older brother. Almost 2 years in age but only 1 year apart in school, Emily assumed the role of annoying younger sister with ease. It wasn't until Emily followed Eric to Mizzou (even though she chose that school first), that their relationship became what it is today. Eric protected and partied with Emily at his fraternity parties and family weekends were some of the best times with all of their friends coming together to cheer on the Tigers! Ryan met Eric in their senior capstone class right before they graduated. Unbeknownst to Ryan, Eric was the brother of the girl he just started dating.

Maddie and Emily met in their sorority at Mizzou. They started hanging out at the Galena dorm with some mutual friends. It wasn't until their sophomore year that their friendship became the real deal. Through what they call "trauma bonding," Maddie and Emily spent a week of their lives together in RBSC (Random Bullshit Committee) crafting and filling water for the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma to prep for recruitment. From this point on, they were inseperable and even lived together their senior year. After college, both moved to KC to start their adult lives.

Trevor and Potter met when they were pledges at Mizzou. They were always lined up next to each other in any "fun team building" activity that Briggs was leading during their pledgeship. Later in college, they spent many nights hanging out at Trev's J Slums apartment balcony after Columbia bars. They went on to live together for years after college at their apartment in Westport and the house on Jarboe. Trevor now lives in Chicago next to Wrigley Field.

Julie is one of Emily's oldest friends. They met when Emily moved to Illinois from Indiana. On Emily's first day in this new house, Julie made it feel like home right away. Julie and Emily would play outside with their cul-de-sac friends as often as their parents would allow it. 1,000 sleepovers later, they are still the best of friends.

Paulatis and Potter started as coworkers at Cerner and became friends through their project together in Huntsville Alabama. Paulaitis came over for a beer at the famous westport apartment balcony that Potter and Trevor lived at, and never stopped coming over for beers. Paulaitis lives in KC near the Nelson Atkins Museum

Gabbie and Emily's friendship started in high school when she moved to Illinois from Texas. From there, they wound up together at Mizzou. Gabbie and Emily lived together their junior year at District Flats where they became the best of friends. With late night red lobster biscuits and many date nights at Emily's date parties for Kappa, Gabbie became one of Emily's favorite people. Gabbie moved back to Dallas after college.

Blake and Ryan have been friends since kindergarten when their moms arranged for them to hang out (avoiding it being called a play date). They have grown up together ever since. They had many sleepovers in the Stevens basement over the years. Many parties later on including a couple years at KState for Fake Patty's day with some other groomsmen. Blake lives in KC with his wife Bristol.

Elise and Emily met at their sorority at Mizzou. They started hanging out at the Galena dorm with some mutual friends (Maddie and Gabbie!). With many nights at Field House, Bengals, and Big 12 bars at Mizzou, they hung out a lot. I guess they liked each other because they decided to live together their senior year. After college, Elise moved back to Chicago to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse!

Briggs was Potter's pledge dad in the fraternity at Mizzou. They recently took a trip to Vegas, where they spent endless hours in the casino royale playing wheel of fortune slots trying to hit the PLINKO! At the same casino they made them reprint their loyalty cards 4 times because they kept putting them in the wrong machines. The 4th one is still in Potter's wallet today. Briggs lives in Chicago

Alyssa and Emily met while Alyssa was on one of her early dates with Zach Myre (Best Man). Alyssa and Emily's friendship started out with talking and being the only girls at the ALL guy hangouts. They quickly became close friends. Emily was honored when she was able to walk their doggo down the aisle at her wedding last year. And now Alyssa gets to stand beside Emily on her big day!

Luke and Potter met on their study abroad internships in Sydney, Australia and spent the whole summer exploring. One night in a remote Australian town they went to the tattoo shop to get a kangaroo tatted on their butts. Thankfully for their families the shop was closed. Luke moved to Kansas City after Mizzou. Spending many nights at the Peanut on main street by the plaza. If you're lucky you'll see him there.
