Julian is Evan's best friend since middle school. These two kept in touch across seas for years as Evan traveled the country. You can find these two gaming together online on the weekends.

Julian

Javier's confidant, study buddy and go-to hype-woman. Cat is a badass of many hobbies. Seamstress, Tattoo artist, painter, and everything in-between. No one Javier knows has cooler lore.

Erika is Evan’s older sister and his lifelong partner-in-crime. From surviving childhood family road trips to helping him plan this wedding, she has always been by his side.

The yap sessions Nicole and Javier have are legendary. Friends since high school, Nicole and Javier were brought together by their shared love of horror movies, wine and partying. Javier is also honored to have been in Nicole's wedding party. 

Nicole

Bonded by a shared love of whiskey, cigars, and great conversation! Nico and Evan became very close friends through their favorite pastimes. Nico has been best friends with Javier since high school, naturally paving the way for him to become just as close with Evan.

Gina and Javier met in middle school and haven't stopped being gremlins together ever since.  Gina is one of the most caring people you will ever meet but will kick your butt at roller derby or hockey. She works at the same school as Evan C! Javier is also honored to have been in Gina's wedding party. 

Gina

Gabi and Evan are reigning dive bar pool champions, remaining completely undefeated since their debut in 2023! Standing by Evan’s side as his Groomswoman, Gabi originally met Javier in high school and quickly became best friends with him, which naturally led to her becoming just as close with Evan.

Gabi

Anthony is the gentlest of human beings, with the biggest heart. He's also the biggest menace Javier knows. When Javier needs someone to play friend-slop games with or laugh at really bad movies, Anthony is his go-to guy.

Cooper and Evan share a tight bond built over home-brewed beer, Counter-Strike sessions, and a shared mission to find the best food spots. Cooper has seamlessly become one of Evan's closest friends.

Andres and Javier hit it off immediately years back through mutual friends. Their shared love of all thing's pop-culture and last-second swim night's brought them even closer. Andres is not only easy to talk to, but an extremely talented drummer boy. 

Andres

Evan P. and Evan C. have built a fantastic friendship over the years. Though Evan P. originally met Javier in high school, his world got a bit more confusing—and a lot better—when Evan C. was introduced to the friend group, leading to plenty of laughs as "the other Evan" and a lifelong friendship between them both.
