Jared, Matthew's oldest brother, is perhaps the most fun person in the family. He has endless energy that lightens any room he is a part of. Despite his enthusiasm, he still can't beat Matthew in a dance competition (or FIFA or basketball or Super Smash).

David, Matthew's oldest (blood) brother, is one of the easiest people to talk to and he brings a wealth of knowledge about any topic. He also is perhaps the kindest person in the family...until he stabs you in the back in a game of "Settlers of Catan".

Michael, Matthew's middle brother, is perhaps the most hardworking in the family. He has a gift for relationships (retired Homecoming King) and creating community. Become friends with him at your own risk though, because he'll make you move to Cincinnati (allegedly the greatest city in the world).

Daniel, Matthew's closest brother in age, is perhaps the most normal and balanced person in the family. He is both exceedingly mature and sneakily witty. He has carved his own path and he has few weaknesses, besides like actual, physical, literal weakness (guy can't bench 185+).

Danny, Matthew's college roommate, is one of the nicest, smartest, and most reliable guys you will meet. He is also a talented musician and is sneaky athletic. Does he have a downside? Unfortunately, he's an accountant (yikes).

Royce, Matthew's fiercest rival in college, has a way with people, tech, and deep thoughts. If you think you've thought something through, Royce will still be able to show you a new perspective. Even with all that perspective though, Royce can't see that Matthew would beat him 1-on-1 in either basketball or chess.

Jacqueline, Natalie's older sister, has set the standard for the Jacobs girls for years. She is a full-time OB/GYN and full-time mother yet somehow manages to read every book and watch every movie and tv show before anyone else so she can accidentally spoil what happens lol. Natalie has always admired how hardworking and focused Jacqueline is in every thing she does. She knows everything about anything which is why even Lily is already smarter than Natalie. She has always been the best supporter of Natalie and Natalie has always looked up to Jacqueline in every area of her life.

Marley, Natalie's younger sister, is perhaps the sweetest person you'll meet.. unless you bother her when she’s trying to study. Even tho she’s the youngest, Natalie will go to her for help because she’ll always listen and do everything she can to help. She’s currently in medical school and Natalie has always admired the way she wants to serve and care for others. Everything she does is driven by her faith in God and it’s been amazing to see her prioritize her values in her life.

Ryan, Natalie's current teammate at the Houston Dash, always has enough energy to be the life of the party. She is one of the funniest people ever and will always cheer you up. She’s Natalie’s bestie, business partner, teammate, and podcast co-host. Ryan is now a mama and little Crew is so lucky to have her as his mom. She is one of the best people in the world. Oh and Natalie and Matthew might not even be getting married if it weren’t for Ryan helping with the entire proposal.

Sarah, Natalie's current teammate at the Houston Dash, is originally from Austria, so she's automatically cooler than Natalie. She’s the kindest and wisest friend that Natalie goes to when she needs the best advice. Sarah is also the only person that has gotten Natalie to explore Houston and meet new people. She’s always there to make everyone laugh especially when she’s not trying to. (Which is even better). Natalie is so thankful to have a bestie like Sarah.

Shannon, Natalie's former teammate at Notre Dame, is a fierce friend and advocate. She has a heart for anyone in need but will stand up for what’s right in any circumstance. Natalie admires Shannon’s strength in life but also strength in the weight room especially when she had to lift Natalie up to the pull up bar at 6 am every morning so it looked like Natalie could do pull ups. There’s no one else Natalie would have wanted by her side during the frozen winter months in South Bend who was still down to get ice cream with.

From the moment Natalie met Cata they were instantly sisters for life. Natalie literally would not have survived living in Spain without Cata translating everything and laughing through the hard times together lol. Natalie is inspired by Cata’s unwavering faith in God, her persistence to let Him guide her in each decision she makes and trusting Him no matter what. Natalie is forever thankful for Cata and all she has done for her. She’s the best bff, roommate, tour guide, translator, and bank manager ever lol :)
