I spent many nights over-thinking this decision. In the end I went with my gut. Noguts no glory. Here are my men among men, here are my spartans of marriage, here are my groomsmen.
The Bestman, Justin Kelly
Justin is my brother, my bearded other half. He recently graduated from Westminster College where he studied english literature. Now he's preparing his knocks for grad school. I hold his opinions in high regard and can always count on him for an brutally honest answer. I would expect nothing less from a warrior poet. I look up to him to him because he is taller than me, and because he is the best guy I know.
James is my best friend, my bald other half. We met freshman year in college and have been pals ever since. James lives in Maryland with his wife Rebecca and their two children, Jude and Icie. He works at Leading Authorities in D.C. and is a champion of video production. James has more energy, motivation and enthusiasm than I'd ever know what to do with. All things that will come in handy as wedding time approaches.
Groomsman #1, Matt Cooney
Matt is Erica's only sibling and older brother, and my future brother-in-law. He is currently studying environmental geoscience at Slippery Rock University. Matt is an all around good guy and would give the shirt of his back to help you out. I am looking forward to future fishing trips in Ocean City, NJ and to getting to know him more.
Groomsman #2, Jesse Turnbull
I've know Jesse since the college days. We were work-study buddies and met at the campus technology help desk. The best of times. Jesse lives in Philidelphia with his wife Deanna. They are both artists / illustrators / super good friends. Jesse is probably the most thoughtful guy I know, and it's the thought that counts.
Groomsman #3, Colin Trenter
Colin and I met a few years back while working at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. It was there we bonded over our shared interest in mid-century home furnishing. Colin works with me at autofuss now, he's our 3d animator/ compositor extraordinaire. These days you can find Colin sailing around the bay on his boat, The Seagoat. Colin is a good captain, genuine and down to earth, a real master and commander. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't loose
