Jonah Hofmeister
Best Man
This is Patrick's best friend, Jonah. They have been friends for a long time. They jump up and down when they see each other after awhile.
Eric Corbett
Groomsman
This is Eric. He has been one of Patrick's roommates and close friends for the past three years or so. They like to watch Lord of the Rings while drinking whisky, and eating wings often. They coined their date (I mean hangout) nights as 'Wings, Rings, and Whisky'.
Nico Carbonara
Groomsman
Meet Nico. Cousin of Ella. Nico grew up with Ella right across the street. Growing up you often found the two playing sports, hiding behind corners, and making silly videos. One would think they grew up into mature adults who no longer had childish ways... but you would have been mistaken.
Gunnar Grangaard
Groomsman
This is Gunnar. He is one of Patrick's cousins. Apparently, they got into a lot of trouble growing up. Normal Iowa boy things I guess. We'll see what gets stirred at the reception.
Alex Grover
Groomsman
This is Alex. The oldest of Patrick's three younger brothers. When Patrick and Alex are reunited, they often catch up by tackling each other or sitting on top of each heads. Because they're brothers, and I guess that is what brothers do.
Dillon Hurd
Groomsman
This is Dillon. The OG childhood friend of Patrick's. I assume they ate mud together, set their faltulants on fire (apparently this not a hyperbole), and who else knows what. All I can say is, thank goodness for brain development.
Evan Hurd
Groomsman
This is Evan. The other Hurd childhood friend of Patrick's. There are apparently a lot of cool Hurds; you'll probably meet at least one of them at the wedding.
Trevor Haight
Groomsman
Meet Trevor. Another cousin of Patricks. But don't be mistaken, he is only one of many many many cousins of Patrick. Good old Irish Catholics- the more, the merrier.
Jack Swygman
Groomsman
Meet Jack. Patrick and Jack met when the served on mission core way back in the day. Apparently, Jack is a party. He knows how to party, is the life of the party, and can plan a party. You can see why he was needed for this special day.
Asher Grover
Usher
Meet Asher. The youngest of Patrick's brothers. Apparently, Asher's specialty is showing up his big brother. If you're not careful, you'll take Asher climbing for the first time and he will climb routes that not even you have been to climb even climbing for much much longer.
Andrew Grover
Usher
Meet Andrew. He is the middle brother of the younger brothers of Patrick. Andrew likes to eat really hot Doritos that are likely non-FDA approved. He then likes to chug milk and scarf down bread. Not related to his mouth being on fire though. He's above needing that.
