Stephen & Hannah

April 25, 2025 • Dover, NH
Hollie Campos - Maid of Honor
Hollie is Hannah's older sister and best friend. Hollie was never the older sister who pushed Hannah away, or said, "You cannot hang out with us!" In fact, Hollie was the opposite. Hannah felt like Hollie would seek Hannah out, and ask her to join the fun. Hannah always looked up to Hollie, until Hannah grew taller than her. Then Hannah had to physically look down, and she metaphorically looked up to her, and you get the idea. Hollie was the first family member to meet Steve. She met him over zoom, and they quickly bonded. When Hannah first got engaged, there was never a doubt that Hollie would be her maid of honor. She just questioned 1. How soon was too soon to ask? and 2. How is she supposed to ask? Well Hannah decided to go in for the kill quickly, and TELL Hollie that she would be her maid of honor. Hollie was not allowed to say "No". Random Fact about Hollie: Hollie has always wanted to be the "get away driver" yet she somehow is always the one who comes up with the ideas that could potentially get us all in trouble! This is one of the many reasons she is so loved! However, if Hollie and Hannah go missing at some point....send help, and possibly bail money!
Shawna Kelley - Bridesmaid
Shawna is one of Hannah's oldest friends. Wait, oldest isn't the correct term here...longest? Better...timeliest? Is that a word? You know what, put it this way, if their friendship was a person, it's probably no longer getting ID'd when it goes to a bar. Anyways, Hannah and Shawna have been on many adventures together. Including a cruise that may have ended with getting up close and personal with a puppy. But, that's a different story for a different time. Their friendship has survived many miles, literally, and yet they always pick up right where they left off. You may find them in the corner giggling uncontrollably at some point during the night, because that seems to be a common occurrence when they are together. Shawna has been by Hannah's side through so many challenges, and always encourages Hannah to keep on going, and to do better. Hannah could not imagine her wedding without Shawn by her side. Random Fact about Shawna: Shawna is into hiking, plants, and wildlife. She would love to hike the Appalachian Trail one day. I would not worry about her out there...I would actually worry more for the creatures we hear about, if they ran into her. She would use their tricks against them.
Andrea Thomas - Bridesmaid
Andrea and Hannah met in High School and bonded quickly. One of their first times hanging out, Hannah's family took Andrea to a Trace Adkins concert. Who would have thought, the girl who hated 99% of the high school would befriend a cheerleader. Hannah and Andrea spent their high school years driving around Rohnert Park blasting Nickleback, and singing at the top of their lungs (shout out to Animals!). When Andrea and Hannah were in 11th grade, they traveled to Australia together (Not alone, don't worry!) And that trip made them even closer. They were in another country with a ton of other teens. Surprisingly, they were one of the few people who did not get into trouble during that trip. But there are two things that will forever stick: 1. Cassowaries may be one of the scariest animals on the planet and 2. Tim Tams are AMAZING. Andrea moved back to New Hampshire for college, and soon Hannah and Andrea only saw each other when Andrea would visit California. Andrea never stopped trying to convince Hannah to move to the East Coast. Eventually, Hannah made a trip out to New Hampshire. That first trip was an adventure for sure. Hannah saw all the New England states, and may have thrown out her wallet at Fenway. They also went to Canada just for lunch one day. Crossing back into the United States was interesting after that adventure. Andrea will tell everyone that Hannah moved to New Hampshire for her, we can let her continue to think that since she is credited to connecting Hannah and Steve. Random Fact about Andrea: Andrea says she hates people and hates fun, yet she is the first person to show up when someone in her chosen family needs help. She can also be bribed with coffee, donuts, beer, and/or pizza.
Maximus Campos - Bridesperson
Maximus or Max is Hannah's oldest nephew. Hannah was in the room when he was born, and they have always had a special bond. When it came time to pick the people Hannah wanted to stand with her, she reached out to Max and asked if he wanted to be a part of the ring/flower crew, or if he wanted to stand up with her. He chose standing with her, and she couldn't be more excited about that choice. Even though Max is a pre-teen, Hannah will always see him as the baby who preferred to sleep in her arms over his crib. When Max was a baby and toddler, he spent a lot of time with Hannah. Hannah tried to be the favorite Auntie by making sure she played with him when he asked: from vroom vrooms (his hot wheels), monster trucks, Nerf guns, water fights, and slip and slides. There may have been a few Target trips and Lunch dates in there. At the wedding, you will spot him doing GQ poses, dancing on the dance floor, or practicing his soccer moves (even if there is no ball!) As much as Hannah wanted to be the favorite, she gladly accepts that Max has taken to Steve so quickly and easily. When Max first met Steve (over Zoom) Max flipped him off, cause he thought he was so funny! Steve did not take it personally and also found it hilarious, because Max was little. Now, every time Hannah calls the Campos family, Max will say, "Hi Auntie...where's Steve?" Max is excited to come to New Hamster and celebrate the wedding, and Hannah thinks he might be silently counties down the days until he can call Steve, Uncle Steve. Random Fact about Max: Max has become a huge soccer fan. His favorite team is Real Madrid and his favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo. He has even got his mother, Hollie (you know Hannah's Maid of Honor), into soccer, as well.
Hudson Campos - Ring Security
Hudson or Huddy is Hannah's nephew. Hannah could not envision her wedding without including Huddy in a primary role. He always keeps everyone laughing. Like his brother, Hannah has a hard time seeing the young man he is becoming, versus the baby who spent many hours asleep in her arms. Hudson had a hard time when Hannah moved, even though he did not show it the day she was leaving. He was very intent on riding his bike. It did not click that Auntie was moving, and that was why he was saying "Good-bye". He did love the fact that he could call Hannah whenever he wanted and she would play games with him from 3000 miles away. However, as much as Hudson loves his auntie, he might be more excited about getting Steve as his uncle. Fun Fact about Hudson: Hudson was the brains behind Hollie and Steve's code phrase when they wanted to talk about pending engagement/ring status. Hudson is a budding car kid. He got really excited every time he saw a Tesla and would say, "Oh my God...Is that a Tesla?!"
Neil Campos - Officiant
Neil is Hannah's brother-in-law. Hannah has known Neil since she was 17. Hannah saw the love he had for her sister, and knew he would be family at some point. Now Neil is stuck with the entire family, and now gaining a brother-in-law. At first, Steve had said that he did not care who was the person to marry him and Hannah. He stated, "It can totally be someone random." He denied wanting someone in family to stand in front of everyone and pronounce them husband and wife. Andrea made the joke, "Neil should marry you guys!" Hannah laughed it off, and yet it somewhat stuck. A few days later, Hannah was talking to Steve, and Steve randomly said, "Neil could marry us," and it was one of those joking-not-joking moments. Hannah and Steve decided, "We are going to ask Neil to be our officiant." Poor Neil was not prepared for that question. Hannah and Steve could tell that Neil was nervous about the request, and he refused to say, "No thank you," even when Hannah and Steve gave him the out. For 15 years, Hannah has been able to call Neil her brother. So it feels right to include him in Steve and Hannah's special day. Neil, you are about to get an Ally for Life! Random Fact about Neil: Neil is a techy guy. He not only built his own track car, but he 3-D printed a Batman costume.
Michael Vetack - Best Man
It started with my brother Mike being so thoughtful when he was born to bring with him a toy for his big brother so he didn't feel left out. From that day he's been my best friend for 37 years. The Jolly Olly to my Arctic Adventurer. Controller 2 to my Controller 1 My 2nd Basemen to my Shortstop My 2 Guard to my Point Guard And now the Best Man, Michael Vetack!!
Brandon Courcey - Groomsman
One of two brothers on the groom's roster. Brandon and Steve became friends back in high school while playing on the tennis high school team. Debatable on which of the brothers was the better doubles partner (Brandon or Justin) but theres no doubt that Steve carried them both. An always reliable and caring friend through the "Glow-Light Party Era", "Sad Steve Era" and now the "Married Era". Hailing all the way from Scotland, it's Brandon Courcy!!
Justin Courcy - Groomsman
The second (or the first?) of the two brothers Justin met Steve and became friends also from the high school tennis team. Just like his brother Brandon, Steve carried him in doubles. A lifelong friend who is always supportive and encouraging. A friend that shows up without being asked because you need the support (see "Sad Steve Era") and tells you "get in the car, we are going on a brewery cruise". Hailing from New Hampshire and a much easier trip to visit Justin Courcy!!!
