Nick is Joe's very best friend since American University and the person Joe can truly count on in all things.
He is, in fact, more than a best friend, he is Joe's mentor, confidant, and brother. He has already been there for him and John -- through joyful and challenging times. He, his wife Jenn, daughters Gloria, Scarlet, Hazel, and Grace are Joe's family. Nick has been so generous with his time and his family that Joe considers their friendship a true blessing and gift from God. Joe loves him like a brother and there is no one else whom he would ask to be his best man.
Kevin has been there for Joe through thick and thin since their days at American University. A member of their fraternity's same Sigma class, he has been someone Joe could rely on and share a laugh. He has been a counselor and a friend, and a companion whom, just like Joe and John, enjoy travelling, good food and drink. Kevin, and his wife Emily and son Beckett, are a much celebrated part of Joe and John's life.
Carly is Joe's sister (for all intents and purposes). She, just like her brother Nick, have been part of Joe's life through all of their ups and downs. Carly is a remarkable woman in Joe and John's life. She is a source of inspiration for those around her. She is someone that the couple has come to rely on and loves deeply.
Mrs. Jacqueline Tunkel and her husband Jeff have provided John and Joe wise counsel, love, and support over the years. They have showed the couple true love and affection and have a special place in their hearts. Jacqueline, in addition to be a loving mother and wife, is an organizer and community leader. It is fitting for Jacqueline to oversee the couples' nuptials as they start the next chapter of their lives together.
