Jay, originally from Sycamore, IL and Pam from DeKalb, IL have been married for over 35 years. They reside in Sycamore, near their five grand kids.

Anyone who doesn't already know Randy and Tammy will surely meet them soon enough - they have never met a stranger they won't talk to. They have provided a model of what a loving marriage looks like for 46 years (which should give you some indication of Jason's age). If you get a chance, ask Tammy about little Jason chasing another child with a jar of vaseline.

Kristen and Kate first met in youth tee-ball. They often refer to each other as sisters, which gets confusing because people assume Kelley is actually Kristen's sister (spoiler alert: she is not). Kristen resides in Wheaton with her husband Jim and their two children, Gabby and JP. If you talk to Kristen's dad, Paul, at the reception, ask him about the time he caught Kate skipping school.

Brad has been putting up with Jason his entire life. As the story goes, Brad was slow to speak as a child causing some concern. However, it was eventually realized that Jason just did all of the talking on his behalf. Brad and his wife Angelica were married in 2016, and they have three children, Sophia, 13, Sam, 5, and Jack, 2. Talk to Brad about his fishing skills and Jujitsu moves.

Kelley and Kate met in elementary school and Kelley serves as the “Voice of Reason" to this day. Kelley resides in Wheaton with her husband Ryan, and two children Theo and Emme. When you see her parents, Sandra and Randy, ask them about the time Kristen threw a party at their house while they were out of town.

Matt and Jason first met through competitive cycling; more specifically, they met on a race podium where Matt took first and Jason took second place. As adventure enthusiasts, Jason, Matt, and Matt's wife Mara have spent many hours together on the bike course, cross country ski trails, and even aboard a couple of sailboats. Matt and Mara are parents to Max, age six. Ask Matt and Mara about the boat trip from Milwaukee to Chicago during Covid.

Kate first learned of Meg in the fifth grade, when her gym teacher announced that the record for most free-throws made in a minute was held by Meg, from Southeast Elementary School; it would be Kate's mission to beat her. Meg and Kate became friends in junior high and have remained close ever since. Meg resides in Longmont, Colorado with her husband Ian, and is mama to Finnley, Porter, Willow, Colt and Barrett. Ask Meg about the time she taught Kate how to drive stick shift.

Dave is always up for a bike ride, although he hates mornings even more than Jason (which is a lot). Dave is always down to hang out and also loves a spontaneous adventure. Jason appreciates the lens through which Dave sees the world. Ask Dave about camping with Matt and Jason with the bear bait.

Shea is Kate's younger brother and the middle sibling of the Quinn children. Shea is best known for marching to the beat of his own drum - which has helped him became a successful business owner as a companion dog and hunting dog trainer. Shea and his wife Jessica have been married since 2016 and we are grateful for her patience. They are parents to Abram, 5, Georgia, 2, and Wendy, 4 months.

Jeff and Jason met through their mutual love of cycling. Jeff and Jason have a relationship where they don't talk often, but every conversation they have is meaningful and insightful. Jeff is an expert navigating the velodrome on his bicycle but navigating the parking lot sometimes causes him problems. Ask him about the time he hit a parked motorcycle.

Colin is Kate's youngest brother, and luckily for Sycamore High School they are far enough apart in age that they didn't overlap. Colin works as a foreman for Bulley & Andrews construction company. He and his wife Bailie have been married since 2019 and we are equally grateful for her patience. They are parents to Rory, 3, and Owen, 7 months.
