Groomsman

Hello groomsman! Congratulations on being selected as my wedding crew! Here’s some info for the big day!

What to wear!

I didn’t want to go to Men’s Warehouse and have us get the matching sets. Instead, I’m putting my faith in ya’ll to look your best. šŸ˜…

A Dark Suit, navy, dark grey, or black would be best!

A White Shirt, go crazy with this one

Match your pants to your suit, use your best judgement on this one.

Shoes, dress shoes, dark is good. Dark brown, black, etc

Tie, I’ll hook it up, don’t worry.

And that’s it! Use your best judgment! I want you to look good, and I know that you are all strapping young lads, who have seen Queer eye.

Feel free to reach out with questions, pictures and ideas.

I’ll be checking in with all of you individually to make sure you’ve got something cooking.

Speaking of ALL OF YOU….

There are 8 of us.

(Alphabetical order)

Bartosz Ponicki

Also known as Bart, he took the long walk from Poland as a child and has assimilated and ascended since. Bart and I met in high school on the Ultimate Frisbee team. 

A grad of Iowa State and the Elmhurst Parks Department, Bart is a jack of all trades. As comfortable with a sawzall as he is with a PS5 controller— a true modern renaissance man. 

Time flies when Bart’s driving the Uhaul on a hot day. If you need a cigarette, he’s your man. He takes payment in RuneScape gold. Ask him about his tatts!

Charlie Peters

Also known as Peters, he’s Elmhurst Royalty. Charlie Peter’s and I met in high School through the Ultimate Frisbee Team, but we really bonded when he took me to visit Victor in the Pediatric hospital and he had Alt-Nation on Satellite Radio in his manual trans Jeep— and I thought ā€œthis kid fucksā€ But that was like 2 ACLs ago. 

Charlie is a graduate of Colorado University Bolder— Scgo Buffs. His linkedIn says ā€œPurchasing Agentā€ but most days you can find him grinding the walking simulator. 

Ask him about purchasing Microsoft services, and min maxing the lemon Deep Eddys method. 

Dare Scott (No LinkedIn, sorry B2B Sales masters)Ā 

Also known as Dare. The bride’s younger brother by blood and soon my brother by law! A native of Missoula Montana and an Alumni of Montana State University (FTC). Now you can find Dare training to pick up the torch and continue the family trade of Chiropractic Medicine— all in beautiful Davenport Iowa.Ā 

Dare and I met when I gave him a cigarette. Since he has become my best running partner and an even better friend. 

Ask him about how the chiropractic profession has opposed vaccination and water fluoridation, often on philosophical grounds. 

Evan Wilken

Also known as Evan. Hailing from the great north, Fairbanks Alaska. Did you know that Alaska is the larger than the entire continental United States? Me neither. Evan and I met at the University of Montana, on the fifth floor of Aber Hall freshman year. I can attribute much of my acquired taste for rumpleminz to him. 

Evan, now an Assistant VP at Mt. McKinley Bank, is not only the best economist I know, but also the best boat captain, moose (meat and inflatable) killer. He’s as comfortable talking about his crock pot meatball recipe, or Obamanomics, or how the loss of Max Kellerman lead to the downfall of First take, Stephen A Smith and ESPN as a whole. 

To be continued, I’ve got to get to bed.Ā
