Kevin Smith

Groomsman; Graham’s very tall big-cousin

“I am Kevin Smith, one of Graham's incredibly good-looking older cousins. I've got an arsenal of hilariously incriminating stories of Graham, many including the most foul-smelling, fur-lined cowboy boots to ever exist.

My smokin’ hot wife and I have been together since 2008, we got married in 2016 in Vegas after the birth of our eldest daughter Emilia. In 2019 our youngest daughter Natalie was born in Raleigh, NC. We all currently live in the burbs outside Raleigh with our two dogs, PennyLane & Lucy.

I have spent the majority of my adult life within the hospitality industry. For the past 10 years. I have been crushing it as Executive Chef for upscale hotels and private clubs in the Raleigh area.

That smokin’ hot wife I mentioned... not as culinary-inclined, therefore I enjoy coming home from work, opening a bottle of wine, and cooking with and for my family.

I'm a big football fan, sports, in general, are my thing. Golf and basketball are the two that I enjoy playing the most. You do not want to challenge me on the court. My family and I love a good beach day and we travel as often as we can. I am a family man who is constantly surrounded by all females, even the dogs are girls...oy! Despite the surplus of estrogen, I am eternally grateful for the way my life has unfolded and I wouldn't trade it for anything.”
