Clay is Tira’s older brother, a go-to for life advice and good times. While they may not have always seen eye to eye as kids, adulthood has brought them much closer, something Tira is incredibly thankful for. Recently, Clay became a first-time dad to little Louis, and one of Tira and Jacob’s favorite things is watching him and his wife, Audrey, navigate this exciting new phase of life.

Tira's big sister in Kappa Kappa Gamma and her junior-year roommate, Kennedy has always been a constant cheerleader in Tira's life. One of the highlights from the past few years was when Kennedy moved to Pittsburgh to complete a fellowship with the University of Pittsburgh Athletics, which brought her to Jacob's hometown and just two hours away from Cleveland. Now, she's living her dream job as a dietitian with Mizzou Athletics—Go Tigers... and Hogs!

A friendship that formed quickly and has become the foundation for some of Tira’s most cherished memories over the years. Keely and Tira were Pom Squad teammates and lived together during Tira’s sophomore year of college. Tira can always count on Keely for a steady head and a good laugh. Now, Tira and Jacob cherish any time they get to spend with Keely and her husband, Trevor, who live just under an hour from Kansas City.

Abby is the ultimate girl's girl and the BEST dog mom to her sweet baby girl, Reba! Tira and Abby were on the Arkansas Pom Squad together and roomed together during Tira’s sophomore year of college. Some of Tira’s favorite college memories are with Abby, and she knows Abby will always be in her corner with a dose of positive energy. Jacob and Tira were honored to celebrate Abby and her husband Tanner at their wedding recently!

From competitive dance in high school (#spacnation) to navigating Arkansas Pom Squad tryouts and spending all four years on the team together, to rooming together both freshman and senior year of college, Emily and Tira have shared some of the most rewarding—and slightly stressful—times of their lives! Fun fact: Emily and Tira lived one floor below Emily’s now-husband, Reed, in Founders Hall at the University of Arkansas. Who would have thought where those kids would end up now!

Faith has been one of Tira's best friends since middle school! From being girls together to now both being wives—and soon-to-be wives—these two have cheered each other on through every phase of life. Faith was the first friend Tira introduced Jacob to (via FaceTime), and Jacob and Tira love watching all the amazing work Faith and her husband, Garrett, continue to do with their non-profit, Return Hope International.

A built in best friend, and Jacob's older brother, Zach has been a constant companion, especially as the two have gotten older and grown closer. A shared love for golf and a good glass of bourbon have now expanded to an annual elk hunting trip in Colorado, that is the highlight of both of their years. Separated by 1,100 miles, the two catch up daily, often trading jabs and keeping things light, in classic brotherly fashion.

Ask anyone (yes, even our parents) and they'll tell you that Joe is the life of the party. A lively personality, he walks into a room full of strangers and leaves with friends. In the weekends he came to visit Jacob at Pitt, he left a favorite of all the roommates, and those are some of Jacob's favorite memories of his time there. Find him on the dance floor with a drink, or two, in hand.

The youngest of four, and the only girl, Anna is the one that keeps everyone on their toes. Jacob spent most of his high school years driving Anna to and from Starbucks or whatever store she wanted, blasting music and singing along with his younger sister. She adopted her brothers sarcasm, which can get a bit feisty if you wake her up too early. Yes, she is probably the favorite as the only girl, just ask Jacob's parents, who put up a specific "Anna tree" at Christmas.

David and Jacob lived together their senior year at Pitt, and quickly became best friends. Smart and charismatic, David is attending medical school at Albany Medical College, but always finds time when the two are back in Pittsburgh to stop and visit with the Maggi family. Bonding over books and whatever random hypothetical Dave has thrown out that day, the two have been quick friends since meeting. (Ask him about the time he ran a marathon)

Freshman year roommates, Bryant and Jacob spent all their time together in class, at the field and playing pranks on their roommates. Visiting each other in Pittsburgh and York, where Bryant lives with his lovely wife Sarah, the two continue to be constants in each others lives. Steady and levelheaded, you can't ask for a better person in your corner than Bryant.

The Jacobs are about as close as you can be for two guys separated by just under a foot in height. "Steak Saturdays" was a favorite of Meyer's, where they would go to the driving range and Jacob would cook, while he watched football on the couch. (a bit one-sided, yes, but still some of my favorite lazy afternoons) Freshman year roommates, coworkers for a year and undoubtedly friends for life.

As a coworker of Tira's when she first moved to Cleveland, TJ has been there from the very start of Jacob and Tira's relationship. Some of their fondest memories in Cleveland include TJ and his fiancé, Bri! From Guardians games and golf courses to monopoly game nights, Jacob and Tira cannot imagine getting married without the person that has been around since the beginning.
