the term “fwb”, or “friend with boat” may ring a bell for many. i know when i lived in chicago, finding an “fwb” was a goal i never achieved. lucky for brandon’s friends, he was THE “fwb” who treated such lucky friends with lots of outings during the warm summer months. one particular summer, brandon caught wind that his friend’s “hot blonde friend” was single and brandon really wanted to meet her. abby finally came out one weekend and the rest was history.

abby and brandon are both such caring people and their large group of equally caring friends are a testament to that. it’s always cute to see grown men with groomsmen who are friends practically since birth who are literally so happy and thrilled for each other. these groomsmen were tight and i think they all look to brandon as the nicest of all the nice guys.

i hope the two of you had a great honeymoon in cabo. i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t insanely jealous seeing your instagram photos pop up!
