Maid of Honor
Amanda’s eldest sister and forever rock, Shannon has been a constant source of strength, love, and support throughout Amanda’s life. More than just a big sister, she’s been one of Amanda’s biggest cheerleaders — always showing up, lifting her up, and standing by her through every season. As Amanda’s lifelong partner in crime (even in the moments when Shannon might not exactly volunteer for the role), their bond is built on laughter, loyalty, and unconditional love. The family’s peacemaker and Amanda’s steady voice of reason, Shannon’s presence on this special day means the world. Amanda couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her big sister by her side.
Best Man
Montell has been Stephen’s best friend since the second grade — a lifelong bond built on trust, laughter, and countless memories. He’s the kind of friend you can count on through anything: rain, snow, or sunshine, Montell shows up with a helping hand, a big heart, and that unmistakable, infectious laugh. His loyalty and joy have been a constant in Stephen’s life, and having him stand beside him on this special day is more than meaningful — it’s a full-circle moment for the duo, as Stephen had the honor of being Montell’s best man as well. Their friendship is a true brotherhood, and Stephen couldn't imagine this day without him.
Matron of Honor
A longtime friend of Stephen and a cherished new friend to Amanda, Alexis has quickly become someone truly special. Though they only met last year, Amanda and Alexis have formed a magical bond — one filled with laughter, deep conversations, and the kind of connection that feels like it’s been there forever. Sharing the fun nickname “Panda” and their time working together at Fresh Market, their friendship grew naturally and effortlessly. Alexis brings light, joy, and a whole lot of heart, and Amanda is genuinely thankful to have her as part of her bridal party on such a meaningful day.
Best Man
Stephen’s second Best Man, James, is more than just a lifelong friend — he’s the neighbor who became a brother. Their bond has stood the test of time (and distance), with James somehow managing to be there no matter what… even if he’s randomly in another country! Loyal, genuine, and always ready with a good story, James has been a constant presence in Stephen’s life. And yes — ladies, he’s single… and gents, he’s still single if that’s your thing! Stephen feels beyond blessed to have James standing by his side on such a meaningful day, celebrating love, friendship, and all the memories still to come.
Bridesmaid
Amanda’s little sister and one of her greatest joys, Addie holds a very special place in her heart. Though Amanda has only had the privilege of being her big sister for six years, it has been one of the most meaningful blessings of her life — a journey filled with love, laughter, and endless pride. Now, as Stephen joins the family, he too steps into the role of big brother, ready to share in all the moments ahead. Addie is a kindhearted soul with a deep love for animals and a strong sense of discipline and service as a proud member of her high school NJROTC. Her bright spirit and gentle heart shine wherever she goes, and Amanda couldn’t be more proud to have her little sister by her side on such a special day.
Groomsman
Craig, one of Stephen’s younger brothers named in honor of their late father, is a devoted father himself to a beautiful son, Major, who will proudly serve as the ring bearer on this very special day. A man of few words but great depth, Craig’s quiet strength and unwavering love for his brother and family speak volumes. Stephen feels truly blessed to have him as a younger brother, and Mandie is equally fortunate to welcome him into their family. Having Craig by his side makes this celebration even more meaningful, and Stephen couldn’t be happier to share this day with both his brother and his nephew.

Groomsman
During the challenging days of COVID, Stephen found solace and connection through video games — and it was through this that he met Stefan, the first to welcome him into their gamer group.

Proud to call him a bonus brother, Stephen is grateful for their friendship that has grown stronger with time. And ladies, he’s single… and gents, yes, still single!

Jr Bridesmaid
Like a little sister to Amanda and the best friend of her real little sister, she has been part of the family in all the ways that truly count. Having her by our side on such an important day means more than words can say. Her kind heart, bright smile, and boundless enthusiasm bring so much light to every moment. As a cheerleader, she’s used to lifting others up—something she does effortlessly, not just with cheers and chants, but with her unwavering positivity, support, and fun-loving spirit. Her energy is truly contagious, and her presence makes every celebration feel even more alive. We feel incredibly blessed to have her standing with us—cheering us on, just as she always does—as we step into this new chapter.
Mother of the Groom
Stephen’s mom is the heart and soul of his world — a woman whose love and devotion have shaped him into the man he is today. Together with her sister and Stephen’s nan, she helped raise him with endless patience, guidance, and unwavering support. Their collective love created a strong foundation filled with warmth, laughter, and values that Stephen carries with him always. She deeply loves Mandie and is incredibly grateful to her — seeing her as a true godsend for the kindness, strength, and sacrifice she showed early in their relationship, especially when she stepped up to care for Stephen’s mom after her stroke. Having her there to celebrate this special day means everything to Stephen and Amanda.
Father of the Bride
Larry, the father of the bride, holds a special place in Amanda’s heart—as her quiet protector, steady guide, and reliable source of love (and endless dad jokes). A man of few words—unless he’s delivering a pun—Larry has always shown his love through loyalty, actions, and perfectly timed one-liners. Some of Amanda’s favorite memories were movie outings with him and her sister Shay—sharing popcorn and a Coke (despite being loyal Pepsi fans) and soaking in the magic of time together. As he walks Amanda down the aisle, that same quiet, steady love shines through—a beautiful reminder of a bond built on laughter, loyalty, and probably one last pun for the road.
Mother of the Bride
Amanda and her mama haven’t always seen eye to eye—too alike in many ways, they often clashed growing up. But as Amanda entered adulthood and approached marriage, she began to see her mom differently. The sacrifices, the strength, and the love—often quiet but always present—now mean the world. From cheering at football games together in the marching band stands, to late-night wedding emergency calls and DIY meltdown pep talks, her mom has shown up with unwavering support. And, of course, nothing brings them together like dancing to ABBA. Their bond has grown into something strong and deeply meaningful—a reminder that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
Father of the Bride
George may not be Amanda’s father by blood, but he’s always shown up with the heart of a true dad. From day one, he loved Amanda and her sister as his own—no questions, no conditions. Whether he was fixing something around the house or working hard to provide, George was always there. His booming voice, big, cuddly-bear personality, and willingness to try any new food made every moment with him memorable. And when things got stressful—especially during wedding planning—he was the calm, steady voice of reason. George didn’t have to be the one who stayed, supported, and cared—but he chose to. And that kind of love means everything. Amanda is beyond grateful to have him by her side on this special day.
Mother of the Bride
Though she became Amanda’s bonus mom only a few years ago, the bond they’ve built is truly special. She stepped into Amanda’s life with patience, warmth, and quiet strength—offering support and guidance without trying to replace anyone. Her honest advice has helped keep Amanda grounded and steady through adulthood’s ups and downs. More than that, she’s become someone Amanda can really relate to—a safe space where she feels seen and heard. Their connection is a beautiful reminder that family is about love and showing up for each other, no matter when or how it begins.
