Justin's OG BFF, Meagan and Justin were destined to be best friends, as their parents, Diane and Ricky were friends in High School (Independence High, where Meagan and Justin would later graduate from, as well) From participating in summer youth theatre as kids, to being voted “most likely to stay friends” by their senior class, and later as roommates in their early adult life and having weekly “roomie night," there is no friendship more significant in Justin’s life than that with Meagan. Often thought of as the sister he never had, Meagan and Justin share a bond that many have never understood but one that can never be broken. They were literally inseparable for almost two decades; today, they have adapted to their “new normal.” Rather than blasting Dave Matthews Band or Rascal Flatts at home together, they FaceTime or chat as much as they can. No matter how long in between, they always pick up where they left off.

Allison hired Justin in 2006 for his first “big boy”job right out of college. Their offices were next to each other and between morning coffee and long rides to their satellite office in Youngstown every week, they developed a fast friendship. While their career paths went in different directions, they have remained close friends. In 2014, Justin asked Allison to join him on his friend Tom’s boat for some drinks and an evening sail. Well, lets just day the rest is history for them. Tom and Allison live very near Justin and Matt and are still together today. Allison and Tom sponsored Justin when he joined Edgewater Yacht Club and have nurtured Matt and Justin’s love for the water and their “special place” on the lake. 

Torry and Justin worked together back in 2014/2015 when Justin managed the KW Rocky River office. In an effort to meet all of his new team members, he extended invitations to each person, including Torry to meet with him for coffee, lunch, or a drink. Well, lets just say Torry was verrrry busy and was the LAST person in the office to take Justin up on his offer. Needless to say, once she agreed to meet with him, all invitations moving forward were quickly accepted! They clicked- instantly. Justin often refers to her has his “Best from the West” and they share a very special friendship. Torry has introduced Matt and Justin to some incredible people, including two very special ladies (Pam and Sharon) that were instrumental in the execution of their engagement party in October, not to mention, countless birthday dinners, events and late night dance parties for some of their best friends.  

Noah is Matt’s best friend and best man. They met almost 10 years ago probably never knowing that not only would they become best friends but, ultimately brothers as well! Over the years they have been roommates, travel buddies and ultimately partners in crime. Anyone who knows Noah, knows that when he is in a room, there is most likely going to be a lot of laughter happening. Noah has become not only a brother but, an integral part of Matt and Justin’s family!

Nick and Matt met through mutual friends many years ago and have maintained a friendship for the last decade. They have traveled together, spent holidays with each other’s families and have been there for one another through many things! Nick may not be a man of many words as we all know, but he is one of the kindest most caring people you will ever meet! Matt could not be happier to have Nick as one of his closest friends and being a part of his special day!

One of the first times Matt ever met Angie was at her wedding. He instantly new that she had the personality that would always be a part of his life. Not only did Matt gain Angie as a friend but, her husband Eric as well. Angie has taken Matt, Justin, and the whole crew on many “Angie Adventures” over the years. So many trips and so much fun has been had because of the crazy things she has planned over the years. Matt is so thrilled that he has Angie by his side on this special adventure!

Matt and Dave first met over 20 years ago at their first Job Today’s Teens, selling candy door to door. Matt and Dave are 2 days apart in age. They got their Driver license at the same time, got their first cars at the same an over the years have shared many other memories. Matt considers Dave one of his closest friends and could not be happier to have him stand with him on his special. He as always been one of Matt’s biggest advocates and could not be happier that he found Justin!

Jared is Matt’s older brother. If you ask their mom Linda, she will tell you that she can not believe what great friends they have become over the years. She always said Jared was trying to kill Matt since the day she brought him home from the hospital. To date they are closer than ever! Matt is so thrilled to have Jared be a part of his special day and so happy that Jared can bring his special person Gabbie to celebrate with us. 

Matt and Sarah first met while working together at Park Place almost 12 years ago. There was an instant connection that led to many afterwork “extracurricular” activities. They have an everlasting bond that will make them “Boos” for life! Now she has Justin as a Boo for life as well. Sarah has been a part of so many things (Angie adventures included). Matt could not be happier to have yet another best friend stand by his side on his and Justin’s special day!
