With Chris on one of many #bowerkernan family trips,  in the early 90’s.

What’s it like with a boy best friend, many ask:
well as kids it was rough and tumble, keeping up was no easy task!
Attic hockey and big wheels, good times in the ‘hood,
I get short of breath just thinking about that hill on Beachwood.

There were early morning hockey games,
I hit every rink in the East.
I will surely never forget the smell of each pre-dawn Dunkin Donuts feast.

Now according to many friendships like ours often fade,
but as teenagers we remained best buds – like a brother Chris stayed.
In High School there were girlfriends and boyfriends abound,
but as you can see here today none of whom are around.

It was in college that Chris met the girl we knew was the one,
the first time I met Erin, I knew something special had begun…
our friendship was instant, and unlike the girls that didn’t last,
she never batted an eye at Chris’s girl best friend from the past.

Chris remains my boy best friend to this very day,
instead of bruises and broom hockey, it’s Skins and beer each Sunday.
But what makes this friendship even better, is whom Chris picked as his bride
I have another sister, another best friend, now with Erin by his side.

So join me and raise your glass to my best friends Erin & Chris,
I wish you light, love, and happiness – and infinite years of wedded bliss!
