The Groomie Party

Mimicking my lovely fiancée's post I will take this opportunity to introduce my cool Groomie PartyTM!

I, too, had spent some time early in our relationship thinking about who might serve a role in the Groomie PartyTM when we get married. I had not asked anybody hypothetically in advance, however.

Best Man
My choice for Best Man was made infinitely easier once Tara's sister agreed to be the Maid of Honor. Since she chose "a family member" I didn't have to choose between my friends, either! Elliot is the second oldest son in the Brodzki Clan. He is studying computer science and game design at WPI in Massachusetts. He expects to graduate in May 2011. His hobbies include computer and console gaming and he also enjoys building robots in his spare time. Elliot is 3.5 years younger than me and we shared a room for many years. We are foils of one another...and we like it that way.

Groomsmen
I have four groomsmen. They rock. 'Nuff said.

Mike and I met freshman year at Emory when we lived in McTyeire Hall and during our Junior year we lived together as suite-mates. Mike is/was a huge Lost fan. He earned a BA in Education Studies at Emory in 2008 and loves spending time with his fiancée Heather. He doesn't like lettuce.

Cliff is awesome (as are all of my Groomsmen). We all met through Alpha Phi Omega a co-ed, national service Fraternity during our years at Emory. He earned a BA in 2008 in History and Russian and East European Studies. He is (at time of writing) a 2L (second year law student) at the University of Georgia School of Law. He enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, cooking new things with basil, and being in nature. He also likes to eat matzah.

Eric was the first person from Emory that I met. We actually met in an online "admissions" chat for another university several months before meeting at Emory. We lived on the same freshman hall and forged a strong friendship. Eric earned a BA in Economics and Film Studies from Emory in 2008. He is a 2L at Hofstra University hoping to practice entertainment law upon his graduation. Eric enjoys going to the movies, eating at great restaurants and traveling.

Logan is my youngest sibling. He enjoys playing video games and is an avid reader. Logan tells the best jokes and he aspires to be an astrophysicist with NASA at Cape Canaveral. He will be a high school freshman in the fall.

I'm very happy these people all said yes to being in the Groomie PartyTM. I hope that they will enjoy the months that lay ahead and help ensure that our wedding day is both special and fun for everyone involved!

Thanks Groomie PartyTM.

And now...back to your regularly scheduled postings :-).
