Wedding Party

photo
Christine Strother
Christine Strother - Matron of Honor
Christine, or better known as "Sissy", is Steph's older sister and best friend. She is the one person Stephanie talks to every single day and who Steph calls for literally everything... (Steph needs to construct a text/email to someone and doesn't know how to word it?.. Call Sissy!!) Sis is also one the people who birthed some of Stephanie's best friends (her nieces and nephews, Emma, Tyler, and Claire bear!) ♥️
Rod Newill
Rod Newill - Groomsman
Rod is Brett's older brother! He has had to put up with Brett longer than almost anyone. It is his fault that Brett is obsessed with computers and electronics. With a brother like Rod, Brett never stood a chance to not be a nerd. Also one of the greatest days of Brett's life was when he was officially taller than Rod, but Brett never held it over him (maybe a little).
Tiffanie Zoyiopoulos
Tiffanie Zoyiopoulos - Maid of Honor
Tiff is Steph's younger sister, bestfriend, and built in protecter! Growing up, they shared a room, clothes, makeup, a car, and they also fought over everything!! Now they are there for eachother through every single thing! Steph can always count on Tiff to tell her like it is, lol. Tiffanie is also one of the people who birthed Steph's besties, Dawson & Logan ♥️
Danny Bartels
Danny Bartels - Groomsman
Danny and Brett's friendship was developed fast through trauma bonding and working way too many hours together. Brett had a spare room in his apartment and invited Danny to room with him after knowing him less than a month. Luckily neither of them are serial killers. Since then they have gone on to do a bunch of obstacle courses and watch each other injury themselves on mountain bikes (mostly Brett).
Andra Newill
Andra Newill - Bridesmaid
Andra is Brett's older sister. She's the mom of Steph and Brett's bestie nephews, Reed, Wade, & Chase ♥️ She has been telling embarrassing stories about Brett for as long as he can remember. Movies taught Brett that it was supposed to be your parents who do that. She tried to abandoned Brett at the police station a few times but he always came back (the police have great cookies FYI). At the end of the day Brett know she loves him though... he thinks
Ryan Saunders
Ryan Saunders - Groomsman
There is so much to be said about Ryan. Brett met him at university while he was educating everyone, doesn't matter on what. It was a quick friendship after that. Since then they have played uncountable hours of video games. He tried to murder everyone with fireworks. Made Brett late for several classes in university. Brett even tried to push Ryan off a mountain in West Virginia but he kept on dodging. Both Stephanie and Dani (Ryan's wife) have great concerns about Brett and Ryan's relationship.
Alison Drewno
Alison Drewno - Bridesmaid
Alipoo is Stephanie's sister-in-law, married to Steph's oldest brother, Greg. Steph thinks of Alipoo more than just a sister-in-law! Alison is Steph's fellow cow lover, crafting expert, always down for an adventure or a chill night in, poolside drinking buddy! ♥️
Anthony Flammia
Anthony Flammia - Groomsman
Anthony is Brett's hairy Italian Canadian. He is the man that introduced Brett and Ryan, it is assumed that he sees this as a huge mistake. Anthony expects everyone to back down before him... at least when a few beers are involved. He may have dislocated Brett's shoulder, but that is what friendship is all about.. Brett might not understand friendship. Brett did save Anthony and Noel's (his wife) lives in West Virginia.. although Anthony will claim that the drive back put it in danger though. Brett did have Anthony help install carpet so Brett feels like they are pretty much even.
Megan Drewno
Megan Drewno - Bridesmaid
Megan is Stephanie's sister-in-law, married to Steph's older brother, Josh. Megan is Steph's fellow cozy gamer, lover of all things vintage and floral, and is one of the people Steph gets genuinely the best advice from. She is also the momma to Steph and Brett's bestie nephews and niece, Eph, Rosie, and Minnie Mae ♥️
Grant MacPherson
Grant MacPherson - Groomsman
Grant and Brett have known each other since kindergarten. They have been playing games, building robots, and being nerds for longer than anyone else. For better or worse he got wrapped up with Ryan, Anthony, and Brett. Grant and Brett are apparently twins because they are mistaken for each other way too often. Grant hasn't tried to afflict bodily harm on Brett like the others... or he is better at being sneaking about which Brett respects.
Nina Leslie
Nina Leslie - Bridesmaid
Nina and Steph met during the first week of nursing school and have been "bestfrandsss" ever since. Steph could not have made it through nursing school without Nina and vice versa. Nina is the kind of person that Steph... and really anyone can be their completely genuine, goofy, unapologetic self around. The two of them bonded over their nerdy love for pens, flowers, and their shared messed up sense of humor! ♥️
Jon Mardyla
Jon Mardyla - Groomsman
Jon and Brett have been causing trouble at work for a few years. Brett loves that Jon speaks his mind which is always entertaining. They both love grilling (Brett's ribs are better though). Jon taught Brett an important lesson that if you are helping someone move and they have a Peloton, say no. What kind of company makes a 400 lb. treadmill!?!? Between Brett, Jon, and Ryan.. it's hard to tell which one talks the loudest.
Breanna Bartels
Breanna Bartels - Bridesmaid
Breanna is married to Danny (one of Brett's closest and best friends) so her and Steph were basically forced to become friends due to Brett and Danny spending sooo much time together lol. Steph and Bre quickly became bestfriends, too! Bre is one of the most genuine people Steph knows. She is one of the people Stephanie knows she can be herself around and always has a good time making memories.. whether it's an adventure Up North, a cozy board game night in, or stargazing in the backyard by a fire, Steph always has the best time with Bre! ♥️
Mitch Leahey
Mitch Leahey - Groomsman
Mitch is Brett's cousin, but often feels like a younger brother. Their mothers loved road trips and Mitch liked overwriting Brett's saves on his Gameboy.. Brett has mostly forgiven him. Growing up he would spend many summers in the UP with the family. Mitch also went into engineering, Brett tried to warn him, but he wouldn't listen. He lived with Brett for over a year and made sure his grill was always on. Brett and Steph are also so excited for Mitch's wedding to his fiancée Jacqueline this June!!
Hannah Wirtz
Hannah Wirtz - Bridesmaid
Hannah Banana is one of Stephanie's most special friendships.. they are "BFFLESK" or "best friends for life, ever since kindergarten". They obviously met in kindergarten and have been by each other's side ever since! All of life's special and/or hard moments so far.. they been there for each other. Hannah is one of the people in Stephanie's life that she can count on to be there for her no matter how far apart they live or even how much time has past since they've talked or seen eachother ♥️
Colin Leahey
Colin Leahey - Groomsman
Colin is Brett's cousin and Mitch's younger brother. Just like Mitch he often felt like a younger brother as well. For every game Mitch overwrote, Brett hopes Colin did it to him (Brett swears he's over it!) They also "bonded" on the family road trips. Colin luckily survived the badlands and facing down bison in Yellowstone. Just like Mitch he spent summers up in the UP with their family. Colin is quick witted and is always ready with a joke. Brett and Steph are proud of this kid and are excited to see where his future will take him.
Emma Strother
Emma Strother - Junior Bridesmaid
Emma is Stephanie's oldest niece and her biggest fan! Emma really is Aunt Steph's built-in bestie since day one! Emma asked Aunt Steph if she could be her Junior Bridesmaid before Brett and Steph were even engaged.
Ambrose Drewno
Ambrose Drewno - Ring Dude
Rosie is Aunt Steph and Uncle "Breath's" nephew. He has such a bright and big personality. He already takes his job as "Ring Dude very serious and holds the title proudly.
Claire Strother
Claire Strother - Flower Girl
Claire Bear is Aunt Steph's girl!! Claire was born just 2 hours shy of sharing a birthday with Stephanie, but that hasn't stopped them from celebrating their birthdays together every year! Claire bear is so sweet, spunky, and she's going to kill it on the dance floor!!
Chase Myer
Chase Myer - Ring Dude
Chase is Uncle Brett and Aunt Steph's newest nephew! He has the world's best little sweet smitten face! Uncle Brett and Aunt Steph are also not pressuring him too much, but are excited to have him be a part of their big day!
Clementine Drewno
Clementine Drewno - Flower Girl
Minnie Mae is Aunt Steph's newest niece! She is such a sweet girl! Uncle Brett and Aunt Steph are hoping that she will be up for being one of their flower girls on the wedding day, but they won't pressure her too much!
Logan Sherman
Logan Sherman - Ring Dude
Logan is Aunt Steph and Uncle Brett's nephew! He is the sweetest little boy. He is going to look so stinkin cute all dapper on their big day!
Reed, Wade, Tyler, Ephraim, and Dawson
Reed, Wade, Tyler, Ephraim, and Dawson - "Junior groomsmen"
Uncle Brett and Aunt Stephanie are so beyond blessed to have SO many nieces and nephews that they are close with. They couldn't imagine having their wedding and NOT including each and every one of them! They decided to make their oldest, video game loving, lego building, crazy nephews their "Jr Groomsmen".
