Dylan & Stephanie
Wedding Party
Kara Evans
Maid of Honor
“Kara and Stephanie met in the fall of 2011 at Ohio University after Stephanie joined Alpha Omicron Pi (AOII). During the recruitment process they had a brief conversation and knew that they were meant to be Big and Little. Steph has always been an honest and reliable friend for Kara as they navigated their college years together. Since college they have attended three Bonnaroo music festivals (two that included Dylan), checked out breweries in the Columbus and Cleveland areas, as well as help each other in their advising roles for the AOII chapter at Ohio University.”
Paul Scales
Best Man
"I met Dylan in our sophomore year science class. since then we’ve always had good chemistry. We’ve known each other for over 10 years now (yikes) and we’ve shared plenty of memorable moments together. There’s not a day that goes by I don’t think about the summer days at Dereks house. From convincing me to skip mandatory soccer conditioning in high school to go to cedar point, to us staying up all night playing call of duty (fortnite now). we are always getting into a little bit of trouble but having a lot of fun. Thank you for being the funniest, most caring, and best friend I’ve ever had. There aren’t enough words to describe how happy I am I get to experience this day with Dylan and Stef as your best man."
Morgan Webb
Bridesmaid
"Best friends and sorority sisters, Steph and I kept it fresh in college by being (probably) the weirdest people you know. We ate a lot of wings, stole one or two things, and attempted to start a secret society in a basement laundry room. Steph even let me sleep on her floor through a brief stint of homelessness and she never failed to cheer me up with her taco rice and polish dance moves. We've been there for each other through everything, even when there have been hundreds of miles between us. Now, I'm honored to get to be there for her as she gets married to Dylan."
Tyler Rose
Groomsman
“I met Dylan on the school bus around the age of 13... right on the peak of puberty! We both had the long hair with “swoopy” bangs and fragile hearts. We bonded through our love of punk/alternative/rock music and teenage angst. Throughout the years, we have remained close friends... with better hair.”
Marissa Schultz
Bridesmaid
“Stephanie and Marissa have been friends since 2012 after meeting at an AOII sisterhood at THE first and best school in Ohio, THE Ohio University. They became instant friends and the rest is just a weird & often hilarious story of their friendship. Marissa’s favorite memory of hanging with Stef is by far when they drove around SE Ohio without a GPS at night, trying to see if they could find the northern lights. They took many wrong turns that night, almost got stuck in a field, and ended at their favorite spot on THE best campus – Pawpurr’s.”
Dalton Greene
Groomsman
"I guess you can give Collin credit (I hate giving Collin credit) for introducing Dylan and I. We were both moving in to our eventual home despite not knowing much of eachother. I think we would both say those two years in that nasty house were pretty special. Over that time we would bond over our innate ability to clean and be generally respectful to our roommates: something some of our pals would not do so well. We had a good dynamic of brutal honestly and comical passive aggressiveness. Dylan, thanks for being a great roommate and a better friend. I can honestly say they are two of the best people I know and I am lucky to be in their lives and part of their wedding."
Natalie Cullins
Bridesmaid
"My name is Natalie. Stephanie and I met in our awkward teenage years complete with braces, weird hair colors, and a job that required us to wear panty hose at all times. Our friendship was solidified through many late night trips to Walmart, disposable cameras, and lying to each other's parents so we could hang out while we were grounded. No matter what's going on in our lives, or how long it's been since our last conversation, Stephanie is always a call away when I need her. She's my BFLFOIWD (best friend literally forever or I would die), and I can't wait to be a part of her big day!"
Katie Grooms
Bridesmaid
“My name is Katie Grooms and I met the lovely Stephanie, known to me as HBIC, within our sisterhood of AOII. In the beginning, I could never have imagined we’d build such a strong connection of friendship. The trips, adventures and weird double dates we have gone through are just the beginning of the messes we will continue to find ourselves in. If our messy-ness ends, I don’t know what I would do. (At least we’re consistent) Now, as a bonus, Dylan gets to join in on the shenanigans. I am so excited to celebrate the joining of these 2 lovely weirdos! Even though he is an OSU fan, we will accept him all the same. We will meet in the safe place and end up being…. You know safe.”
Collin Puckett
Groomsman & Officiant
"Collin met Dylan in 4th grade. They were both very ornery and often got in trouble for talking more than they probably should have, so naturally a friendship started. They bonded over Rap & Hip-Hop music, so much so that Collin remembers them burning CDs for each other (which sounds a bit weird now😂). Collin and Dylan lived together for a year at THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, Go Bucks, and Dylan grew to be his closest friend. Always there for Collin when he needs him and always able to give him space when he needs it. Collin’s learned a ton about Stefphanie over the last few years and he couldn’t build a more perfect match for Dylan. Collin loves them both, and says it’s going to be an honor to marry them, and one hell of a party afterwards!"
