That turned into a long lasting friendship after the two met for the first time to go on a run around Lake Harriet. During grad school, they continued to go on runs and talk about the world of hockey daily. Today, you’ll still catch them talking about their next race and who’s going to win Lord Stanley.

If you think Brenden is a sports nut, wait til you meet Trever. Trever has a boatload ESPN stats in his mind; if you listen close enough, you’ll hear Brenden and Trever predicting home runs, touchdowns, and much more (e.g, Michigan crushing Ohio State) before they happen. Being the brother that is just 2 years younger than Brenden, we’re sure you can think of all the mischief they’ve gotten up to over the years.

Taylor is one of our lovely bridesmaids (and a yooper)! Victoria met Taylor through Instagram. If you know Taylor, she has a sweet and positive spirit that puts anyone at ease. Victoria and Taylor thought each other would get along really well and they did! They met up in person (Taylor lived in Munising, Michigan and Victoria lived in Marquette, Michigan) only 1 hour away from each other and instantly became bffs. Taylor and Victoria share a love for hair, makeup, style, puppies, beach, coffee, and the small things in life since both of them come from a small town. Victoria loves how giving Taylor is to people. She would give her friends her last $10 if she had to! Taylor currently works as a cosmologist in Indiana but she lives in Niles, Michigan with her dog, Honey and her fiance, George who is also from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A fun fact about Taylor is that anything she touches turns into gold whether it is an Instagram post, decorating, makeup, or a craft she is doing. Another fun fact about Taylor is that she can howl like a dog - it is pretty cute! :)

If you’re looking for a reason for Brenden’s hypercompetitive spirit, look no further! Growing up, Chandler and Brenden would always challenge each other to whatever they could dream up. If you find them smirking without saying a word, be on the lookout for whatever is about to happen next!

Gators aren’t the only thing Conner wrestles with! Growing up as the oldest of four, Conner was the older brother that Brenden, Trever, or Chandler could be turned to for anything without feeling judged for the “dumb” question. Conner is a proud father to Brenden’s niece and nephew, Macy and Lincoln.
