The Groomsmen

Finally, part two of the Bridal Party entry!

JR Kasavich

JR is my older brother. We have known each other for most of his life, and all of mine. He’s an engineer for the Fort Worth Water Department in an office full of Aggies. He keeps offering me a job with the City of Fort Worth, but it sounds like I’d be his stooge driving a vac truck and cleaning up sewer messes. Not much appealing about that.

He’s a cool guy and is honestly the funniest person I’ve ever known, not that many people know it because his sense of humor is so…odd…that most people don’t see it as humor. I’m glad to have him as a groomsman and hope there isn’t some weird water emergency that keeps in in Fort Worth the weekend of the wedding.
JR and his wife Cornelia and don't forget Sammy the Dog!

RJ Bruce, Friend of the Groom

RJ and I went to Trinity together but we really got to know each other at the weekly Pint Night, back when it was just four guys at a bar. Ridiculous inside jokes, nicknames, and drinking aside, RJ is one of the few truly good people I’ve known in my life. You know those people that don’t say bad things about other people? You know how boring they can be? RJ is nice AND somehow not boring. I don’t know how he does it, and watching him be a great friend and father is an inspiration.

Oh, that last bit was too serious. RJ once nearly cut his finger off throwing a beer can. There, that’s better.

Jeff Gilley, Friend of the Groom

Jeff…yeah. Anyone who knows us knows when we’re together, our collective mental age hovers somewhere around nine years old. Seriously, it’s pretty bad.

Jeff and I got to know each other through Alpha Phi Omega at Trinity, and stayed great friends through school and beyond. I keep hoping he’ll wake up one morning and decide to move back to Houston, but in the meantime it’s a perfect excuse to head up to the northeast. He’s a great guy, married to a wonderful woman, and his daughter is the cutest thing in the known world.

Too serious again. Jeff once did a power hour in twenty minutes. If you don’t know what that means, Wiki it.
