Ryan: Here I am waiting for girls to develop breasts in 5th grade when I get pulled out of school to go to the hospital. My mom's friend at the time brought me to the hospital and to the room that my mom was staying at. They dressed me in a gown, and brought me into the labor room. My mom was ready to give birth and I was standing behind the doctor and for the first time in my life I was excited to see a penis. My first and only brother was born that day....and who I am proud to call my best man. I made it my mission to teach him to be better than me at every possible game that we could play...And it worked. Thanks for be humble at winning, you punk.
Buck: Circa 1993; I started high school (sophmore for K-town Killas) and knew a kid named Chudly-C from another school who had a brother Buck that was a senior. I saw Buck in the commons sporting a rat tail, Charlotte Hornets pullover and a fat chain with an uzi on it...I knew that this was the guy I wanted to hang with. I introduced myself and we have been tight ever since. I lived with him, his brother, his other brother momentarily, and his dad, Herms.
Scooter: At the age of 18, I decide to get a real job and contacted a family member for a hookup (like most do), I showed up early on my first day (the only time I ever did) and heard a rumble down the street. I looked out the window and saw a bad ass biker roll in. I was intrigued. He was introduced to me as Scooter (Scott) and we worked side by side. After a few weeks, we decided to have cocktails after work. Scooter introduced me to a lot of great people, we drank, I smoked, and he taught me some lessons.
Derick: Speaking of great people that Scooter introduced me to...I can't forget Derick. The first time that I hung out with Derick I knew that he was going to be a long term friend. It wasnt long before Derick was working with us and we fell into a routine. We would wake up, ride to work on our bikes, work all day and go to the bar...and then do it all over again... for a year. Derick has always been there for me, hence the reason why I am glad to have him in our wedding.
Leann: She is the one of the most talented, funny, caring women I have ever met. She helped raise 2 boys (Max & Zach) who I often watched over and spoiled with candy and video games. Leann will tell you how it is and usually be right. She can also hook you up with a leather G-string.
Rick: I met Rick when he was peddling some electronic shit as a vendor of ours. I persuaded him to join the team at the company we currently work for. He invited me to a Rock Band party in Indiana; smoke machine and all. We smoked, drank Glenlivet and I made more friends. I was at his house when I had an 8 hour phone conversation with Melissa, from drunk to sober, from night to morning, and he then made me move his family's estate the entire next day...thats a true friend.
Shannon: I met Shannon when I was 0. She used me, abused me, and made me believe in things that didnt exist. She used to hold "Animal" (Muppet) over the staircase and make me watch as she threw him to his death... and laughed. AND she told me that if I swallowed a watermelon seed it would grow in my stomach. Shannon always had my back and is a great big sister.
Erin: I was just getting used to being the baby of the family when my Mom decided to get pregnant (again). Damn Catholics. Erin was born with a full head of hair that looked like my dad's wig. Picture Donald Trump with jet black hair. One day as the family was basking in my greatness, Erin cried from upstairs and I said " I'll get her". So I went upstairs, wrapped her in a blanket and proceded downstairs. I tripped and strategically fell on my back all the way down the stairs. Erin cried along side me. You are welcome Erin.
Sarah: Two words that I associate with Santa Cruz: Sarah's house. I heard of this place where alcohol flows, cigarettes burn and large amounts of food is digested. I thought Melissa was having an acid flashback when she described it, but it does exist. Outside of having a great husband, a cute daughter and a love for hot dogs, Sarah has helped my future wife become who she is today. Also, she is the only one who liked my potatoes.
Lydia: Lydia knew that I was coming to town as Melissa's boyfriend, but when I arrived I was introduced as her fiance... Lydia proceded to get hammered. The next morning, when she awoke from the bathroom/hallway she said to me " Hi, I am Lydia, do you have any cheeseburgers?". Just kidding, via telephone, Lydia has stopped me from puking on jewelers due to stress and vodka as I shopped for engagement rings.
Mike: What can I say, you had me at Jack & water. I will never hear the end of it from "The Punisher"... I would have seen it if it weren't for Axl's heroin addiction. Love the truck, love the bike, love the meatloaf.
Josh: I never liked any of the guys that my sister has dated, but there's something about Josh that...who am I kidding, they were alright. I forsee many great endeavors for us folks. Josh is a friend of Melissa and now a friend of mine. Keep the Atheist's strong.
Joan: This Chick is hot. Not only did Joan let us stay in her paradise pad, but when she met us the next day for drinks, she was something to look at. She is feisty, single and perfect for my brother Ryan. Melissa has told me so many stories about Joan "the bone" and I welcome her to the family.
Tiffany: I havent spent much time with the lady... but based on what I hear from Melissa, I think we will have some laughs for sure.
<---Renny, herself!!!!
