I met Drew senior year of high school and the summer before college, bonding over cameras and drones. We even taught a drone class at the YMCA for kids! Drew married Anna, one of my close friends from track & field, in 2020. I was grateful to be Drew's best man, and I am so excited for him to be mine!

I met Cassidy my freshman year at Marist where we lived right next to each other in Leo Hall. Our crazy roommates brought us closer and we became an unlikely duo. We were roomies in Florence (we studied abroad in case you didn't know) and haven't stopped yapping to each other since.

Jonathan and I both moved to Lebanon our sophomore year of high school. Jon got me a job at the Golden Lamb and working long hours led to many late nights at the Parker's house where I received a true education in the Batman / DC universe. Jon's dad was my Air Force Junior ROTC instructor, and is ultimately why I joined the Air Force.

Jenna and I became fast friends after bonding over our passion for climate change junior year at Marist. Since then, we've bonded over our love for the outdoors, torturing ourselves at Orangetheory, and the occasional tequila shot. From spring break in Punta Cana to our glory days in Poughkeepsie, Jenna is the friend that brings us all together and it wouldn't be a party without her.

I was thankful to meet Cameron when we were both stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. While the Air Force brought us together, we quickly bonded over cars, Lego, and games of all kinds. Introducing Cameron to disc golf made for many nights out in the woods after work. Cameron also brought Alli into our lives and they became our first friends as a couple!

When Cam started dating Alli, I was so excited to have a friend in Ohio. The first time we met Alli though, she showed up 3 hours late. She quickly recovered her first impression and brought us all together by hosting weekly game nights, and she's known to throw quite the themed Halloween party. Nate and I had the honor to be in Alli & Cam's wedding this summer and we can't wait for them to be in ours!

Senior year of high school I lost my license, but Greg was there to give me a ride home after many track practices. We were fast friends over our love for Minecraft, leading to many shared adventures—from joint family vacations to New Orleans & Virginia, to piggy-backing me at Ohio University, and traveling to Vermont for disc golf at some of the top courses in the nation.

Lexi and I lived in the same dorm at Marist and quickly became friends—though Lexi will tell you she thought I was weird at first. She must have come around because we lived with each other for the next 3 years and always loved cooking, baking, and going on long drives screaming our hearts out to "In the Blood" by John Mayer. Though we live in different states now, we've traveled around the country together, from Nashville to Atlantic City, to Reno, and even West Virginia.

I met John my senior year of high school. John brought his wonderful wife, Anna, into our lives. Madison and I have loved planning trips with John and Anna to ski in Colorado, New England and California—with many more to come! John is someone who includes everyone, is a good listener, and always knows the right thing to say. It makes him the perfect choice to be our officiant!
