Wedding Party
David McEttrick
Officiant/Best Man
Dave and Kevin met junior year in high school after Kevin "accidentally" punched Dave in the face before swim practice while warming up. Ever since they have been joined at the hip.
Salvador Gomez
Best Man
Kevin and Sal met on the ultimate field in 2003. Eventually Sal moved into the DogWash, they discovered Tinys, and the rest was history. Sal loves bud heavy, machaca, and unfortunately the Dodgers.
Mahesh Raju
Groomsman
Mahesh and Kevin met in high school Spanish class. Neither of us can speak a word of Spanish so not sure we paid that much attention in class.
Lucius Howell
Groomsman
Kevin and Lu met on the field in 2003 as part of the same team with Sal. Lu also happened to lived beneath Sal and Kevin in the DogWash and showed both of them way when it comes to fishing and whiskey. Every few years the three of us try to relive our days at Tinys and catch some fish.
JT Goodhue
Groomsman
Kevin met JT (aka Gil) playing ultimate in 2004 and eventually Kevin tricked JT into coaching with him and Matt at UCSD. JT also lived at the Dogwash with Kevin and somehow put up with all the Tinys shenanigans.
Matthew Parisi
Groomsman
Matt (aka Flakes) played ultimate on the same teams with Kevin beginning in 2003 and coached at UCSD with Kevin for over 10 years. Matt loves the Bills and good beer.
Scott Platenberg
Groomsman
Scott is Kevin's brother in law and has always been there to give Kevin great experiences watching football and baseball. Their connection was made when Kevin was 11 years old when he forced Scott to play catch for hours at a family event.
William Stuart
Groomsman
William is Kevin's older brother and has been a big influence in his music and whiskey tastes. William is a big Phillies fan which made the end of the 2022 baseball season a bit difficult...
Scott Stuart
Groomsman
Scott is Kevin's younger brother and had to deal with Kevin while growing up in both New Jersey and Illinois. Scott and Kevin were in alot of activities together growing up, and while Kevin focused on the pool, Scott became an accomplished musician.
