TITLE:

BEST MAN

RELATIONSHIP:

BEST FRIEND OF THE GROOM

HOW LONG KNOWN:

14 YEARS

Joe & I met in 8th grade and were instant enemies. We hated each other. We almost got into fights daily. But eventually we became great friends. Running the neighborhoods, playing sports and just being goofy. 8th grade turned to highschool and we just became closer. We were always challenging each other, trying to make the other one better and trying to make the other one look foolish. We accomplished both. "Bet you wont…" was a common saying between us both in which we could make the other one do just about anything. Though we’ve both grown beyond that, every once in awhile we’ll say it and there about a half second where the twinge to do it rises up. Apparently we havent grown that far beyond it. From early mornings in the gym and late nights at the bars we did it all. We did it our way. With no regrets and with the support of each other we made it through some tough times. Joe was always the one person ready to get into just as much trouble as myself. Always down and always there. I can always count on Joe.

To the ones who made it.
