Kevin first met Sam in high school where they quickly became good friends during their senior exhibition class. Whether it’s screaming “JOE” whenever he’s around or trying Sam’s newest dessert it is always a blast hanging with this couple! When not officiating weddings you can find Kevin on a golf course or in the kitchen trying out new recipes.

I'm Jake, and Brendan/Joe is my oldest friend. We met while our brothers were playing little league, so we'd be around 3 or 4. He's been a head taller than me ever since. I moved to Colorado for college, and now live in Denver building and maintaining trails. Despite the distance, Brendan has remained my closest connection to home, and the most consistent friend in my life. I'm so excited to be in this wedding, and be a part of the big guys' next adventure.

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’ve known the bride and groom for about 5 years now and am so excited to be a part of their special day. I’m originally from Southern California, met them both at NAU, and now live in NoVa near them. We’ve been on many adventures together - both in real life and through our D&D campaigns - and can’t wait to see them start this newest adventure!

Hi There! I’m Evan - one of Brendan’s good buds from his days in San Diego. Brendan and I have known each other since middle school, but we became really close friends in high school and have stayed in each other’s lives ever since (partially because he still owes me like $67 from several meals 8 years ago - The North Remembers and I will collect eventually). Brendan has always been a charming and reliable person in my life that I am forever grateful for, and I am happy that he has someone of equal character in Sam. Contrary to how I might appear in this photo, I am ecstatic to be a part of Brendan and Sam’s special day and am incredibly honored to serve as a groomsman.

My name is Jenn, and I am Sam’s cousin! I have such fond memories of growing up with Sam - going to Grandma’s house for the holidays, lots of swimming, dance shows, and watching Pink Panther at breakfast. Sam has always been a sister to me, no matter how far apart life has taken us. I am absolutely honored to be by her side as she unites with her life partner on such a special day. Cheers!

Hello, I'm Colin, Brendan's oldest brother. Brendan and I go back to the late '90s where he was the first thing I ever brought to class for "show and tell". Brendan is the only person I allow to call me "shorty", he can get a party started with pistachio ice cream (because EVERYONE loves pistachio) and if I ever want semi-decent Mexican food, he's the guy who knows a place... I'm excited to celebrate the big day with my "little" brother and newest sister-in-law! It's been wonderful to see how happy these two make each other and I can't wait for what should be the best birthday ever to kick off this next chapter!

Hi! My name is Angela, and I am Sam’s younger cousin. Growing up in Chicago, seeing Sam was always such a treat. We were always two peas in a pod - had the same style, like the same shows and games, and had the same sassy attitude - and we still are today. I’m thrilled that Sam met as wonderful of a life partner as Joe, and I can’t wait to celebrate this day with them!

Hello, I’m Conor, the younger of Brendan’s two older brothers. Brendan and I met first during the Clinton administration, and have remained close ever since. Some fun facts about growing up with Brendan are that he can escape being handcuffed to a fridge rather easily, he can somehow win a gun battle even when he brings a knife to it, and most importantly, he is always there for me to look up to…both literally and metaphorically. I’m so grateful to be involved in Brendan and Sam’s day, and although their initials together may say it, their very apparent love and care for one another is anything but BS.

My names Julia, I'm the groom's favorite cousin, I love to party, and I'm honored to be apart of this special day. I love love, and i can't wait to celebrate Sam and Brendan!

Hey everyone! I’m Jeremy from Arizona; the college roommate. I met Brendan on our first day of college, and having heard some roommate horror stories from older friends and relatives, I was prepared for the worst. Instead, it turns out I won the lottery, and got one of my best friends. Whether it was taking the dorm skeleton couch-surfing for some late night pizza, or volunteering to snitch at the quidditch tournament, we had plenty of adventures. Now, after Brendan stood by me at my wedding last year, it fills me with excitement and gratitude to be able to stand by him!

Sam and I met during college where we both studied computer science. We became fast friends, with our shared loves of software, dungeon and dragons, and baking. I am so excited to be apart of her and Joe’s special day as a bridesmaid. If there’s anything I want everyone to know it’s that I am very sarcastic and seriously loyal to my friends.

I met Sam in high school, she became my best friend I’ve ever had when we started talking about books. Ever since that day, we’ve been really close even though almost all of our relationship has been a long distance friendship! I remember one time that Sam came and stayed the weekend with my family over summer vacation. Her mom in turn kidnapped me (with my parents permission of course, don’t worry) and took me back to Coronado, CA from Phoenix. That right there is a childhood core memory. In my free time I enjoy doing wood working, camping, and doing photography. I’ll be a groomsman, to support my best friend and their relationship.

I have known both Sam and Joe since we were in college together. Sam since I was a random dude eating pretzels in her college calculus class and Joe ever since I talked to a tall dude in zombie makeup at a Halloween party. I had no idea we’d end up being friends at the time but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I love them and they are amazing and I’m so excited to see them take this next step in life.

James met Sam and Joe through his current girlfriend, Hannah Mattsson, and through DnD, though the distinct memory he has of first being introduced to Joe is when he saw a picture Hannah had of Joe in an Eagles hat, instinctually said "go birds", and then recognized the background as the balcony of a house he's seen in Steamboat Springs 6 years before ever seeing the picture. Since then, he has seen the bride and groom every week for weekly DnD games and game nights. He is super excited to be able to rock it down the aisle with a handful of flowers, tag-teaming it with Aaron as they celebrate this momentous occassion.
