Lauren and I were twins on kindergarten twin day and have been close ever since. Through our escapades over the past 20 years, she’s taught me and demonstrated to always say yes to new adventures, the world is a runway, and to see the light of every situation. Lauren’s superpower is her ability to make everyone feel special, with selfless love and kindness; I’m incredibly grateful that she will be my Maid of Honor!

From the moment Marc walked into his freshman year dorm and Kevin met his new suitemate, the adventures began. College road trips, time in Sweden and Romania, as well as more recent visits to Miami are a few of the core memories that Kevin reminisces on. Marc taught Kevin how great a best friend can be.

T is a New York City fashionista and my go-to person to learn about the latest street style trends and emerging brands. From the second I met her, I instantly gravitated towards her confidence and humor. I’m so excited to become sisters and celebrate the joining of our families!

Kyle and Kevin had an unforgettable night in San Francisco before becoming roommates. Tough spot for Emily's brother and boyfriend to be separated by a wall during COVID, but boy did they prevail. Within a few months, Kyle introduced Kevin to his incredible group of friends, they took trips to Tahoe and the secret spot, then became semi-pros at badminton, pickleball, and golf (watch out ladies, Kyle is an available man).

Meet Peyton, my college partner-in-crime who’s always the first to hit the dance floor and the last to leave it. We bond over our love for fitness and holistic health, but she's also the one who’ll insist we balance it all out with a sweet treat or a night out. I couldn't imagine this day without her infectious energy and endless laughter!

Miguel "El Don" Perez is someone Kevin admires greatly and who has taught Kevin lots of important life lessons. They're constantly bouncing ideas back and forth and supporting each other with their projects. Even though Miguel voluntarily meditates in silence for days at a time, Kevin is always excited to speak with him using words!

Jensen and I became instant friends sharing a lane at swimming. By sharing a lane, I mean I’d swim in the middle and she’d swim laps around me. Jensen is two years older than me and has always been a role model and a confidant through some of the most important stages of my life. Through growing up in the same hometown, going to the same college, and now both of us living in Seattle, Jensen knows me better than myself sometimes and provides the best advice.

Lane and Kevin got to live together in what Gainesville, FL knew as "The Playground" during their best years of college. As you can imagine, lots of late nights studying and hours spent reciting flash cards helped Lane and Kevin grow close. Moving to different states hasn't stopped them from seeing each other. As this is being written, Lane is booked a trip to visit Kevin in Washington!

In Kindergarten, Bonkers bit me, so our moms got called into the office. Though the odds were stacked against us, we became inseparable and grew up in each other’s homes. We’ve been together during the highs and lows, like puking our guts out during grueling track practices. Bianca has the best heart and the brightest smile, which I accepted with open arms after biting her back in first grade :)

A fellow Florida boy in Washington was a breath of fresh air for Kevin on his first night out in Seattle. James and Kevin had an instant connection (no pun intended) and grew close over the first few months of their post college chapter back in 2019. Motivating each other through the growing pains of life while being silly geese whenever they're together has been their secret to success. Cheers to their freshly minted pod club, a tradition that will hopefully last forever.

Angela is the queen of wellness and mindfulness and has introduced me to life changing daily practices. We met in Miami and became close by taking morning walks around Brickell Key, countless shopping trips, and dancing until dawn. Angela knows how to stay in the moment and not take life too seriously.

Jazzie and Kevin share some wildly similar ambitions and outlooks on life, which lends to lots of learning and connection. Aside from the deep stuff, Jazzie Brancheau makes incredible rap lyrics, green bean casseroles, and deserves to be Highsnobiety's cover boy. If you catch Kevin or Jack on one of their moody days, good luck.
