Veronica met Sasha at a hotel pool in the summer of 1999 after they moved to the U.S. just days apart. Covered in floaties, they bonded over not knowing English and went on to attend the same schools and even own the same car model. Since then, they've learned English and shared many adventures in search of giant statues and unique breweries.

Jack is the oldest of Joe's three younger brothers. Jack and Joe were each other's first roommates, sharing a room through high school. Joe and Jack have gone on trips ranging from Munich's Oktoberfest to the Grand Canyon. One thing has remained the same then and now: it’s always a competition between them to finish off any leftovers.

Liz was Veronica’s (aka Ron) random college roommate. On move-in day, Ron introduced herself by jumping into the room and shouting “roomie!” with jazz hands. Despite this first impression, Liz and Ron became bunk bed besties, bonding over their shared love of Elmo, Macklemore, and horror movies. They’ve had epic adventures in SF, NYC, and abroad, and once even came very close to meeting Macklemore.

Joe met Alex in early grade school where the two bonded over video games and jokes in study hall. Over the years, Joe, Alex, and fellow groomsmen John and Mitch have gone on a variety of trips spanning the continental U.S. and Europe. More recently, the two emptied Green Bay of its Spotted Cow reserves.

Veronica met Maggie when she visited Joe in SF, and they immediately hit it off on a Napa trip. They’ve gone on many adventures since, from Florida trips with the Urschlers to recently snorkeling with sea lions in La Paz, Mexico (#DonCactus). Along the way, they’ve bonded over board games, festive holiday pop-up bars, Selling Sunset drama, and so much more.

Nick is the second oldest of Joe's three younger brothers. He followed a similar path—playing baseball, majoring in accounting, and eventually moving away from MO. In recent years, he and Joe have developed a shared interest in cameras and photography. The two are also equally likely to call out a perceived questionable decision made by any MLB or NFL team.

Veronica met KK while visiting Joe’s family in St. Louis and fondly remembers watching Joe teach her how to drive. They’ve grown close through trips from hiking in Yosemite to celebrating her 21st birthday in Florida. They also love sending each other cat content and teasing Joe.

Zach is the youngest of Joe's three younger brothers. Having had to endure his older brothers rapidly finishing off numerous meals, Zach has become quite adept in the kitchen in his own right in recent years. He is perhaps the person most likely to properly pour a Guinness, bake focaccia from scratch, and hit a chip shot within 2 feet all in the same day.

Tenny and Veronica met when their intimidating 6th grade orchestra teacher forced them out of the back row and into first violin. From there, they competed together and confidently claimed they would both attend Juilliard. The violins are long retired, but their "seal buddy" adventures continue.

Joe met John probably in kindergarten. They played baseball together basically their entire lives. John now works as a vascular surgeon and reportedly credits his guitar, banjo, and surgical skills to the fundamentals instilled while playing for the St. Louis Lightning and the February practices at the St. Louis Armory.

Isabel and Veronica met at interpretive dance summer camp in middle school, which involved pretending to be birds. Each an only child, they quickly bonded over having a roommate for the first time and would stay up late eating candy. They share a love of alternative rock concerts, sour beer, and cats.

Joe and Mitch met around kindergarten. They spent years playing soccer in grade school and swimming in high school. After surviving countless 100s in the pool, they were roommates for two years in college and have since gone on many adventurous trips with fellow groomsmen John and Alex.

Sam and Veronica met as broadcast journalism majors at Mizzou, bonding over late nights at the local TV station and cherry pie as a study incentive. Along the way, they discovered a shared appreciation for good fortune and great stories, whether that meant a spontaneous boat ride in Lake Tahoe or an Airbnb with a giant Taylor Swift cutout in Nashville.

Although Joe and Christian went to high school together, they didn't become close until college. They bonded over baseball, golf, and horror movies. During those years in college, Christian, John, and Joe (and others) would often delay trips to the bar to jam to Mumford & Sons. More recently, that same instinct resurfaced when Christian visited San Francisco, leading to impromptu, makeshift karaoke each night.

Chelsea and Veronica met while co-producing a morning show at a Sacramento TV station. Fresh out of college and learning to navigate the night shift, they would send each other funny animal clips and occasionally sneak them into the show. Those early mornings quickly turned into Sacramento Zoo memberships, antique store treasure hunts, and bonding over a shared love of cheese.

Joe met Spencer while interviewing at Deloitte in college. Later, at Deloitte orientation, the two were seated at the same table and have been close friends ever since. They lived together for six years—at one point, sharing an apartment with Veronica as well. They learned the hard way to wear life vests in Lake Tahoe's cold waters and have seen more DJs than either can count.

Katie and Veronica met as Mizzou grads in SF and bonded on a Lake Tahoe mountain that was too steep for them to ski down. Now, their adventures include bribing karaoke DJs, spinning at SoulCycle, and wandering the Beltline in Atlanta. Katie was even there the day Veronica and Joe met!

Joe met Eric while playing flag football in San Francisco. Eric was the team's quarterback and had a completion percentage rivaled only by Kirk Cousins. They have traveled to Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, and most recently to Italy for Eric's wedding.

Veronica met Julie while interviewing to be her roommate in SF. Julie initially didn’t think Veronica would be very fun after she showed up in a cardigan, but that quickly became a running joke once they bonded over adult sports leagues, brunch, and wine-and-movie nights with their DVD collections.

Veronica met Wendy through fellow bridesmaid Julie, and they became fast friends on an epic birthday trip to New Orleans. They share a love of Taylor Swift, going all out for themed parties, and playing a video game where they're mischievous geese who pull pranks to complete missions.
