Riley has been my friend since we were born across the street from each other in 1987.  It's rare these days to find friends like that, but I have been fortunate in my life to have my best friend from childhood still standing with me on my wedding day.  There was a summer in grade school where Riley came to my parents' house every day, right around 9:00 am and would go home around 3:00 pm.  He is the kind of person that no matter how long its been, no matter what has happened since the last time, we always fall right back into the same jokes, experiences, and laughter that we have shared through our entire life.  His family is the closest thing I have to another set of parents and his brothers I hold as dear as my own.
