Dress Code

The wedding and reception will be indoors, although family photos will be taken outside. We don't expect guests to dress formally--wear something&nbsp;at makes you feel good!

Reception Activities

As we mentioned in the "Other Events" section, we will be having an open mic at the reception.We also plan on having some format for our guests to share marriage advice, recipes, favorite Bible passages,&nbsp;date ideas, and the like. We value the support and&nbsp;contributions of the&nbsp;community in which we've built our relationship and will continue to build our marriage so very much!There will also be card and&nbsp;board games available, for those who are "board" (hehehe ;))

Quiet Room

We recognize that we have guests with various needs. At Stirling and Steinmann we will be providing an accessible Quiet Room for guests who need to attend to medical needs, or&nbsp; take a break from stimulation. We have not confirmed where this will be yet, but will have signs posted at both venues. Please let us know if we can do anything to make the day more enjoyable and comfortable&nbsp;for you!

Sheri Legacy

"Sessa" first met
"Ia" when he was barely two years old. Although they were initially
indifferent to each other, they would soon form a bond and friendship that
would remain strong throughout their early childhood in Scottdale,
Pennsylvania, growing up in Israel/Palestine, and entering adulthood in
Ontario, Canada.



&nbsp;



From their earliest
games of pretend, to helping with the hard parts of computer games, to the ins
and outs of adulthood, Sofia always depended on Stefan's level-headedness,
omniscience, and omnipotence. He remains one of Sofia's close friends and 24/7
computer consultant. 

Stefan Hostetler

Jumana was always just&nbsp;the cool older sister of one of Sofia's elementary school friends--until they bonded over American folk music, movies, and Disney songs.&nbsp;From traipsing the streets of Nazareth,&nbsp;to maneuvering the paths of&nbsp;adulthood, Jumana has remained one of Sofia's rocks and confidants.&nbsp;

Jumana Rizik

Oh hai, readers!
Mark and Michael have known each other since their early boyhood in Welland,
but mainly started connecting in youth group at their former church (Wellend
Bretheren in Christ), where they battled each other in Foosball, and co-founded
"Club 9." 

&nbsp;



Mark and Michael are
still good friends--Mark even served as a groomsman at Michael's wedding in
2016. Most of their time is spent playing baseball, seeing movies, and quoting
The Room (see opening sentence!)

Michael Ryan

Nathan is Mark's
third oldest brother. He has been Mark's video game mentor since boyhood, and
Mark's main ally against their dad in Goulet family wrestling! Mark also
remembers Nathan guiding him in the art of making friends. He and Mark still enjoy playing video and board games.Nathan also&nbsp;currently
holds the title of co-founder of "The Sleeping Game."&nbsp;

Nathan Goulet

Sofia and Amber met in 2006, when she and Stefan attended a community theater production in which Amber was appearing. Sofia and Amber were 16 at the time. In the years since, they have shared countless games nights, family dinners, and shenanigans--including a trip to Brazil with Sofia's family last January!

  

&nbsp;

  

When Stefan and Amber got married in 2016, Sofia and Amber became sisters as well as friends. They share a love of cats and entertaining, and look forward to facing the decades to come, along with their husbands!&nbsp; 

Amber Hostetler

Jesse is Mark's
second oldest brother. Growing up, Jesse and "Kid" spent many an hour
playing N64 games and inventing obnoxious noises. Jesse also kindled Mark's love of playing baseball, which he
maintains to this day.&nbsp; Jesse currently holds the title of co-founder of "The Sleeping game".
