Kevin Ashford

Best Man

Kevin and Michael met back in 1995. From day one they hit it off. They have done great things together from putting together an award-winning step show routine, to being there for each other when no one else was there. You can always find them pushing each other to greater heights. They both live by the same motto: He's not heavy, he's my brother. This bond seems to get stronger year after year.

Bryan Hale

Groomsman

Bryan's and Michael's friendship go all the way back to summer of 1992. When you hear the phrase, "One day at Band camp," it is literally how they met. They both were part of the Sexy Saxes of the Marching Thorobred Express, the livest section in the band. Ever since then, they have been through a lot together. They became fraternity brothers, in two different fraternity's. Kappa Kappa Psi and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. They could write a book about their many adventures together. Their college days may have swiftly passed, but their friendship continues to grow stronger.

Jim Kidd

Groomsman

Michael and Jim met at Capital Bowl more than 20 years ago. Over the course of the last two decades many games have been bowled and much trash has been talked. The number of all-night dominoes marathons is too numerous to count, but everyone knows who the superior player is. Michael and Jim have been great friends through thick and thin, and they look forward to many more adventures together.
