Aleeza and Cassaundra bonded effortlessly once she began dating Stephen's brother, James. A fellow Spider and "lake life" enthusiast, she is the most fitting fourth this trio could gain. The girls (and guys) have shared many fun times and adventures together already from NYC to RVA and beyond! Feeling like family from the start, the two are like honorary sisters.

No one knows the duo of Cass and Stevie better than Jacob, having been closely attached to them both since their day one.
Sara Hoffman
Bridesmaid

Samantha Zeldin
Bridesmaid
Samantha and Cassaundra have worked together at The Wall Street Journal in NYC for 5 years and counting. They've spent the entirety of that time joined at the hip - from coffee and lunch dates to sitting together in the collaborative workspace and constantly chatting online in any interim periods of time. It is for these reasons that their friendship easily and quickly extended far beyond the office walls.
Tad McKoan
Groomsman
Tad is another one of Stephen's oldest friends, as their history goes back to summers in Waccabuc in the mid-90s. To this day, the two can still be found trying to spend as much time as possible at the lake paddle-boarding and deciding whether or not to jump off Castle Rock- hell yeah, brother!
Erin May
Bridesmaid
Erin and Cassaundra met when they joined Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at the University of Richmond their freshman year. However, their friendship really took off when fate would place them in dormitory suites across the hall from each other in Gray Court their sophomore year.

Although Erin lives in Austin and Cassaundra in NYC, whenever they talk or see each other they pick up right where they left off like no time has passed.
Tom Glading
Groomsman
As another person who spent their childhood in Waccabuc, Tom's history with the groom dates back to the early 2000s where the two were often seen playing tennis together at the Country Club and eventually as partners on their High School Team.
