Zana - Honorary Bridesmaid
Stephanie met Zana and her husband, Ian through Brandon. They would get together for dinner, Bible study, game nights, and face masks (pictured). Although Steph and Zana haven’t known each other for very long, Zana (and Ian) have been a significant source of wisdom and guidance throughout Steph and Brandon’s relationship.
