Steph and Rachel’s friendship goes all the way back to 1st grade. This makes her an actual day 1 and they have only gotten closer as the years have gone on. Rachel is Steph’s go to girl whether it’s having a deep conversation over a bite to eat, dancing the night away or going on an ice cream run. Despite anything going on in her life through pursuing grad school, dedication to dance and time spent being an auntie, she always has made her and Steph’s friendship a priority. Their seemingly opposite personalities balance each other out and can communicate with each other just by giving each other a look.

Wil and Mike's story dates back to freshman year at Bryant in Hall 16, Room 302. Little did they know at the time that they would become such great friends and drinking game partners. It is important to note that Wil and Mike are the Co-Captains of the Jamerican National Team and have an undefeated beer olympics record since the team was founded in 2018. Over the years Wil and Mike have shared many laughs, victories, and, of course, beers on too many nights to count. They will both have the honor to be in each other's wedding parties and you best believe they will be found talking for hours by a fire pit until they are practically asleep. This is something they look forward to doing for many decades to come.

Kevin (KP) and Mike met early on at Bryant but their true friendship began at the end of their second year when they went on a Sophomore International Experience (SIE) trip to Prague and Budapest together. This was a once in a lifetime experience where they shared old stories and made many new ones along the way. KP is the one who asked Mike to join his fraternity TKE, where Mike was a brother for the 2nd half of Bryant. Thier brotherhood runs much deeper than that as KP and Mike have remained close since graduation and admit they will always be there for each other.

Lisa is Mike’s sister and the sister that Steph never had. Steph has thought of Lisa as family from the start and can’t wait to make it official. Lisa and Steph have had many heart to heart moments and great laughs throughout the years. Their trip to Jamaica together with Mike’s family is one that Steph will never forget. Lisa’s creativity and passion are qualities that Steph admires the most. Many more memories will be created in years to come for these two!

Mike met Michael, his future brother-in-law, in his senior year playing intramural basketball against his team. At the time, Mike and Steph were only dating so the two Michael's hadn't officially met yet. Safe to say when they did, they instantly clicked. With their birthdays being only 4 days apart, these two Geminis have more in common than they realize. Holidays and family dinners are never a dull moment, where the two can be found next to each other cracking jokes and checking their parlays. They have become more and more like true brothers over the years, something Mike has always wanted and that will only get stronger each year!

Abby and Steph met at their friends wedding and would soon be going to many of her husband Jordan and Mikes football games together. During the games Abby and Steph absolutely hit it off and would talk almost the whole time (sorry Mike and Jordan)… Abby’s kindness made such an impact on Steph from the very beginning and is someone she knows she can go to for anything. Abby’s ambition in pursuing her own goals while also always being their for her friends and family always inspires Steph. Not to mention she conspired with Mike to help make the engagement the ultimate surprise.

Andrew (Drew) and Mike met at Bryant's freshman orientation in the summer leading up to the Fall Semester. As well as being teammates on the football team, Mike and Drew became good friends quickly and spent a lot of their downtime playing video games and going out for food and drinks. The two have kept in great touch since graduation and have made many memories, something that will never change.

Alicia and Steph met freshman year of college at Bryant and once they hit it off there was no turning back. They quickly went from friends to family. There is never a dull moment when these two are together and have seen each other through it all. Alicia’s loyalty means she is the person Steph knows she can call on for anything. A true ride or die.

Angad is one of Mike's oldest friends and a part of his earliest memories of playing soccer since they were 5. The two grew up playing many sports together and got very close in high school when they were an unstoppable tennis doubles pair, going 16-0 as freshmen on Varsity. Although in different locations since high school, Mike and Angad have remained in good touch and reunited in Indianapolis in 2019 when their paths crossed again. Mike will be a Groomsman at Angad and Erica's wedding this August and is very excited that they both will be there for each other on their big days!

Alyssa and Steph met on the first day of middle school and from that day forward were inseparable. They will always remember the days of playing Just Dance, making silly videos on Alyssa’s porch and getting through their awkward phases together. Alyssa and Steph can always be their truest selves with each other and are excited to be by each others sides throughout every new phase of life to come.

Guttilla and Burrell met at an early age through sports and summer camp. They have both always shared a passion and competitiveness towards sports, sometimes causing them to butt heads, literally. The two led the Varsity Football team to back-to-back Big Four Championships in high school, an accomplishment they never believed they could do. Since high school. Mike and Anthony have gotten nothing but stronger as brothers and can always consider each other as family. Mike was a groomsman for Anthony and Monica's wedding in January and can't wait for Anthony to be by his side for his big day!

Carley and her now fiancé Wil have been great friends to Mike all through college. When Steph met Carley later in their Senior year she knew that they would quickly develop a friendship of their own! Whether it’s been long weekend trips or just staying in hanging out Steph knows that she will always be laughing and having a good time when she’s with Carley. There will be many years of friendship to come for these two and hopefully in that time can one day take down Wil and Mike in beer pong.

Jordan and Mike first met in the summer of 2015 for Bryant Football's Training Camp, Mike's sophomore and Jordan's freshman seasons as Bulldogs where the two played 3 seasons under 2 different coaching staffs together. They will always share that experience but their friendship became much closer after Bryant by reconnecting at Joel "Big Country" and Erika Schaefer's wedding. The next month, Mike moved in with Steph in Massachusetts and joined Jordan's National Champion Semi-Pro Football Team, the Marlboro Shamrocks. Two seasons later, the two LI boys are teammates yet again and closer than ever on, and off the field especially. Jordan's wife Abby and Steph have also quickly grown their bond individually and the 4 enjoy going out as a group often!

May and Steph met Senior Year at Bryant when they both worked at Michael Kors together. It wasn’t until they ran into each oth er at a college party in Providence that they really hit it off. Ever since that day May has always been the most genuine friend to Steph and a true supporter of Mike and Steph’s relationship from the very beginning. May and Steph always have so much fun when they are together and despite the distance between them always stay connected. May’s level headed personality makes her someone that Steph knows she can go to for advice and will keep her grounded.

Isak and Mike both recall meeting each other during freshman year but, similar to KP, these two began their brotherhood on the SIE trip to Prague and Budapest where they both celebrated their 20th birthdays.

Renee and Steph first met as roommates at Bryant and have been there for each other through good times and bad. Her adventurous spirit and thoughtfulness are always qualities that have made Renee such an amazing friend and confidente. Whether it’s having a deep conversation over a bite to eat, getting in a workout together or trying something new, Steph knows she can count on Renee.
