Mike and I met in College. For me it was one disastrous roommate after another but through them I met Mike. We became very good friends, and he was my roommate my Junior year. He was the only one I had that I didn't want to throw out a window. College was rough, but he was always there when I needed a good friend and weekends were always a trip. We had some good times and some scary times but most times we were best friends. We have stayed in touch over the years after school, though visits have been few and far between. I still consider him one of my closest friends, and I'm thrilled he agreed to be my best man.

Matthew is my brother. He and I didn't always have it easy. As a family we moved a lot and it put a lot of strain on us but my brother and I have always been close. Even now with me living so far from home my brother and I manage to stay in touch more than I do with anyone. We have shared some scary times in life, but I have always tried to be there for him just as he has always been there for me. It means a lot to me knowing that he is going to be there. My friends may come and go, but I only have one brother and I couldn't ask for a better one.

Meredith and I met through her late husband and my friend Josh. He and I met years ago when I started my initial training and he was a good friend of mine for years. After initial training we had the luck to get sent to the same base and we remained friends here as well. A year ago he died in an accident and if not for the crash he would be there with me. I'm thrilled Meredith agreed to stand in Josh's place.

This is my nephew. His mother and my brother Jason only dated for a short time but I'm blessed for what came out of there relationship.
Seann is a fun loving out spoken boy, full of ambition and I'm so excited to have his mother and her family in my life now.
