Wedding Party
Cynthia Krajeck
Maid of Honor
Cynthia and Aretha became instant sisters after discovering how much they had in common. Born just 22 days apart, they're the craziest set of Aquarians to walk the earth. Their shared love of animals, travel and decorating keeps them busy. Their identical sense of humor often reduces them to tears. They have supported each other through many life challenges. Cynthia was there to witness the love story develop between Aretha & Steve. It is only fitting that she'll be with them as they begin the next chapter of their lives together.
Darrell Barnes
Best Man
Steve and Darrell met 41 years ago when they served in the Marine Corps together at MCAS El Toro, CA. They became instant brothers. Many times they bonded together while defending each other from others, but there were some occasions when they even fought each other like teenage brothers! It was all in good fun (and sometimes not), but they always had each other's backs. Though they now live in different states, when they do get together, it's as though not a single day has passed. These two are true heroes and an example of what a great friendship is. Soon, Darrell will again share one of the most important days in Steven's life...the matrimony and bond with his new wife, Aretha, and the welcome addition of his new sister.
