Second-Best Man
This summer, Miles was invited to be the (nearly) Best Man at the wedding of friends Tony and Alex (Romanksi) Rolfes. The couple live in Knoxville, TN, and Miles and Holli made the trek alone, leaving the kids with some delighted grandparents. We flew down early and stayed with Tony. Bryce, Lindsey and Hazel arrived a little later, driving from the Cleveland, OH, area, and we also met up with Miles's aunt Sue, Miles's parents and a host of hometown friends. Bryce — probably due to a technicality — had officially been named Best Man, but both Bryce and Miles co-wrote the Best Man Speech, which was by most accounts pretty awesome. Tony was enjoying it, which is really all that mattered.
It was such a pleasure to get to spend some extended time with Tony since he's been away from the Midwest. Alex is lovely and a great match for Tony, and being able to participate in their special day was an honor. Miles says he has "no problem" with Bryce being chosen Best Man.
