Melanie Lucas - The sister who was the first to make me a big sister, we have come a long way from sharing a room together! From days of playing field hockey together and having teachers constantly confuse us for one another, now Mel and I love getting to catch up when she is home from Utah! I love that Mel always makes sure to give Ben an extra hard time for his hockey allegiance!
Samantha Lucas - The sister who is always willing to go on a long road trip with me, and may love the Suburban (or "Sarge") just as much as I do! From being in Army ROTC at UVM, to her sorority commitments, to serving on UVM's Board of Trustee's, Sammy never has a moment to spare! I love that Sammy doesn't let Ben get away with any of his smack talk and she always shows him his place!
Mackenzie Lucas - The sister who was the number one DD when my friends and I would be home from college, and now is the girl who I like to pretend to be back in college with down at Vandy! Kenzie has always been someone that I can rely on. Kenzie and Ben have their Commodores in common, and both love hanging out at good 'ol Sigma Chi!
Constance Thompson - The sister who is always keeping me young and aware of what's "cool", and who shares my obsession with Camp Oneka. I have always been jealous that Stan can sing and is a Bel Canto at Agnes Irwin and I can't wait to visit her at college for the next four years! Stan loves Ben for only calling her Connie and never Stan!
Bradley Vlassich - Need an Ace Ventura impression? How about Major Payne recited word for word? Brad is your guy. I met Brad at his dad’s basketball camp, Rising Star, when we were 8 years old. Brad and I went on to play baseball, football, and basketball together. However, many of the best memories come from our summer vacations to Hilton Head with our families. From being directionally challenged on bike paths, to miniature golf games, to being the coolest kids on the island, we always had a blast.
Michael Birsic - I met Mike through our McCandless travel baseball team when we were in elementary school. From our time on the field, better known as Meat and Potatoes (not sure who was who), to the James Bond and American Pie viewings with Mr. Birsic, to the times at his cabin, we have had amazing memories. I stood with Mike when he married Tina and I can’t wait for him to stand with me on my big day.
Jack Dingess - Jack was the first person I met when I began high school at Shady Side Academy in 10th grade. We met during our football summer camp and I quickly realized that if I ever needed someone to have my back in a fight, it’s this guy. He is fiercely loyal and a great friend. Jack has continued to have my back and our country’s as he has been serving in the Marines the past 5+ years. I am beyond thrilled to have him back stateside and for him to be a part of Andi and my wedding.
Peter Murer - Pete was the first member of his family who did not attend THE Ohio State University but rather attended Vanderbilt University. We met the first day of freshman year and lived together or on the same floor for our four years in Nashville. Fearing that Pete might someday run for public office, I cannot say more than that regarding our college years. I can say, though, that one of the best times we had was a 2+ week journey through Greece, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Austria our junior year abroad. I am fortunate to have Pete as a great travel partner and a great friend.
Miguel Lucas - My ONLY brother! Coming in at a solid 5 years of age he already acts many years older! He also goes by DJ MOL and likes to spin beats in his free time as well as play the guitar and the drums, he is very talented. He will be the perfect person to guard and bring the rings down the aisle on the big day!
Marbella Lucas - The youngest of my siblings - Marbella is one of the sweetest! She's coming in at 3 years and is a bundle full of cuddles, curls, and love. She loves everything girly - purses, makeup, jewelry, and babies! Flowers should fit perfectly into that repertoire along with a beautiful dress for this cute little flower girl!
