Wedding Party

Cecelia Stephens

Bride

Brendan Owen

Groom

Courtney Christner

Maid of Honor

Courtney and Cecelia met as roommates during their work in the Everglades back in 2017. After a second stint as NPS roommates, they both ended up, shockingly, calling Philly home.

Brian Dougherty

Best Man

Brian and Brendan first met at age 7 when Brian moved in next door. They have been great friends growing closer over the years through sharing a love for music and countless adventures to Exxon and Wawa over the last few decades.

Kristina Pascutti

Bridesmaid

Kristina and Cecelia have been friends since 2nd grade (do we really need to admit that it is going on 26 years of friendship?). Although, school, work, and life have kept them physically separated over the last 15 years, Cecelia couldn't imagine celebrating her wedding without Kristina by her side.

Tim Brennan

Groomsman

Brendan first meet Tim through Brian. However, they have been able to form a stronger friendship through shared common interests of football, baseball, and wrestling.

Tiffany Prowell

Bridesmaid

Tiffany and Cecelia met the first year of college back in 2009 (15 years ago!). They have spent countless nights together imagining and discussing future weddings and now those hopes, dreams, and visions are coming true (or already have for Tiffany).

Pete Delmar

Groomsman

Brendan first meet Pete through Brian as well. Pete has taught Brendan several card games and their friendship has grown through trips down to the beach and talking to each other about sports and life in general.

Allison Pryor

Bridesmaid

Although Alli and Cecelia only meet back in 2021 when they were working for NPS in the bustling town of Oneida, TN, they quickly became friends and staples in each other's lives.

Jeff Gallagher

Groomsman

Jeff was Brendan's first friend in Pre-k, he later learned that Jeff only lived one street over. They have remained friends throughout their lives growing closer over the years.

Julia Stephens

Bridesmaid

Well clearly Julia is Cecelia's sister. Being just under two years apart in age they have been with each other through it all. Just as with her friends, Cecelia cannot imagine a wedding without her sister there with her.

Tom Sharp

Groomsman

Tom and Brendan first met in a theater class at Penn State Brandywine and grew closer when they both moved up to Penn State State College. Over the years they have remained close friends and have been in several fantasy football leagues together.

Charity New

Bridesmaid

Charity is the oldest sister of all the Stephens/Becks and has been there for them all through all of life's journeys. With an almost 11-year age gap their relationship has gone through several adaptations and the reversal of junior bridesmaid/bride to bride/bridesmaid is an exciting one indeed.

Anthony Berardi

Groomsman

I originally meet Anthony at Cardinal O’Hara High School. He was in the homeroom across the hallway. We started becoming closer friends our Senior year of high school after a Phillies game before we graduated. We became closer friends over the years going on countless trips to the shore Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers games.

Declan Beck

Ring Bearer

Declan is the youngest nephew of Cecelia's and will do his best not to steal the show.
