The Wedding Party. Part 1

I'll cover the groomsman and the ushers in my part of the wedding party post.

Best Man:
Joe Bauer. Joe and I have know each other since we were in 1st grade together at Seton School. We were friends through out high school and then we both attended Penn State. Joe and I were roommates while we were at PSU. Despite that we remained friends. He went on to get his doctorate from the University of Illinois where he met his wife Lisa. Joe and Lisa live outside of Boston and have 3 kids (at least last time I checked. They might have 4 or more now). Joe still makes it back once a year to attend a Penn State football game with me.

Joe and I after high school graduation:


Groomsman: Steve Porter. I met Steve while at Penn State. Joe, Steve, and I shared an apartment for a year. Or at least that was the plan. Steve and I both went on Coops after the Fall semester so the three of us only ended up sharing the apartment for one semester. Steve and I have watched PSU play at almost all of the stadiums in the Big Ten (3 more to go). Steve and his wife Lisa live in Michigan with their 2 kids, 2 dogs, and 2 cats (I think I got the number of cats and dogs right, but I might have missed a couple because there are so many).

Steve, Joe, and I at Steve's Wedding:


Groomsman: Jacob Mellin. I met Jacob about 5 years ago when we both played kickball in a division in Reston. Jacob and his wife Carrie live a few miles from us in Burke, VA along with two cats and way too many Disney souvenirs. I don't hold the fact that he is a Clemson fan against him.

Jacob and I sporting the coolest shirt ever the night before his wedding:


Junior Groomsman: Cameron Phelps. Cameron is my nephew. He's also a big Penn State fan (he better be, I've been brainwashing him since he was born). Cameron, Gina, Marc, and I all went to Disney world last summer. Cameron really enjoyed the pin trading while he was there. Marc, Gina, and I financed the pin trading.

Cameron and I at Disney:


Usher: Marc Phelps. Marc is my brother. He currently lives just outside of Key West in Florida. Marc, Gina, and I will all be SCUBA diving in the Keys in June. Marc lives with his dog Dallas even though Dallas really wants to move to Virginia and live with Gina, Winnie, and I.

Marc, Cameron, and I at Disney:


Usher: Anthony Flacco. Anthony is Gina's brother. Even though he lives just outside of Philadelphia for some reason he is a Redskins fan. I think a little part of him dies inside everytime Dan Snyder brings in another flavor or the week free agent.

Gina and Anthony:
