Through the adventures and heartbreaks of high school, "Gilly" and I have a friendship that stands the test of time; 8 years as friends, 6 of those in completely different states, and yet every reunion feels like nothing has changed. She's the best friend I could ever ask for and the perfect Maid of Honor.
Devyn and I share a couple of common DNA strands, so our friendship was somewhat obligatory. Regardless I feel so lucky to call such an amazing woman my sister (and that I didn't get the brother I initially asked for). We've had our fair share of hard times, but I'm ecstatic that our friendship has become the strong, caring one that it is today.
From freshman year through the founding of our beloved home, Kathedral, Meredith has been my partner in crime. Be it impromptu road trips, binge-watching trashy reality TV or quoting Bridesmaids, she and I always have a blast. Though we'll never again be roommates, she'll always be a big part of my life.
Within minutes of meeting Parker, she cracked me up and I thought to myself "I HAVE to be friends with this girl". She's inherently such a friendly, loving person that creating a strong friendship was only natural. We were inseparable at Elon and our post-grad relationship continues to be just as strong despite living several states apart.
If anyone was ever wondering who the infamous "best friend from high school" that went to Bama was, here she is. Not only has Katie opened my eyes to the magical world that is Alabama football (ROLL TIDE!) but she's also stuck by my side through thick and thin, and I can't wait for our friendship to continue to grow in the great state of Georgia.
My friendship with "Little" began around the same time as Drew and my relationship, so she's had to spend a lot of time putting up with Drew. I'd always imagined my ideal sorority little, but Danielle was always so much more. She's not just someone I connected with for three years, she's a sister for the rest of my life.
Ask Brian to tell you the story of how we met on the first day of college, in the stands of Rhodes Stadium at Elon. Brian is the voice of reason and dose of reality one minute and the instigator of epic pranks and shenanigi the next. A smarter more motivating friend you will not meet anywhere.
They say a good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting beside you saying; "damn that was fun!" This pretty much rings true for this man right here. The number of 'here, hold my beer' moments we have shared over the years is mildly alarming. Thus why I love him.
Dave has been my oldest friend, through middle school hijinks, high school football and a short lived stint as roommates. These days have given way to ski weekends filled with conversation on the lifts, and drunken nights in the mountains of Vermont. A solid foundation for a lifetime friend and confidant.
Since the 1st floor of Boathouse was the undisputed best floor in all of Elon for 2 straight years, it would be impossible to celebrate properly without Kendall and his unique brand of party tricks. I am doubly excited to share this experience with him. Ladies, be sure to catch some of his time.
Its odd how drunken nights at a freshman bar can turn into a lifelong friendship. Three years of living with Brett forces you to be closer with him than you might have cared to be. But this is a man who gives of himself more than anyone I have ever met, and cannot wait to make more memories with this gentleman.
Blood may be thicker than water - or beer in this case - but a lifetime of memories, from exploring the wilderness together in Scouts, visits to their respecitve alma maters and, most recently, adventures in Boston have made Tyler a Best Man for life.

Greg Elgort
Greg was to an outside observer the golden boy of our high school group; band geek, Eagle Scout oh and going to West Point, could do no wrong. But a better master of peer pressure and fan of pushing the limits, you couldn't find. Through Cub Scouts, High School and his 2 deployments and now living in GA, the day wouldn't be right without him to share it with.
