Stephanie & Steve
Wedding Party
Rachel Beger
Maid of Honor
Rachel and Stephanie have grown up as god-sisters. Both standing by each others side since babies, spending family and friend time together always and calling each other cousins. If it weren't for Rachel, there would be no skiing buddy, no tubing partner, no back scratcher, no sleepovers, and hardly any childhood memories. Rachel has been Stephanie's other half since birth, and will always be her soul sista!
Jenny Selliman
Matron of Honor
Stephanie's sister she always wanted. Growing up as cousins, Jenny became the one Stephanie looked up to and forever confided in. She is the peanut butter to her chocolate. Cousins by blood, sisters at heart. Not a day goes by where these two don't talk in some way. Stephanie tells Jenny everything and anything. From random phone calls, to much needed hour long conversations, these two will forever be shoulders to lean on. Through thick and thin, good or bad, Stephanie will always have Jenny to count on.
Natasha "Tasha" Blinn
Bridesmaid
Stephanie met Tasha at the camp Steven and her met at. Tasha became Stephanie's first love there ;). Connected at the hip from first sight and sticking through camp life with each other, with constant support, love and laughs. She continues to be the best friend a girl could have.
Kayla Sugg
Bridesmaid
Stephanies "partner in crime." Kayla grew up playing soccer, and going to school with Stephanie. Always bringing Stephanie out of her comfort zone, providing fun, and eating ice cream together, even states apart the friendship stays strong. Life would be boring without her Kayla!
Elisa Chase
Bridesmaid
Stephanie's soon to be sister-in-law, or... Stevens older sister! Theres no better feeling than gaining a family member. Elisa has been nothing but supportive, loving, and open to these two love birds, what more can a bride ask for?! Stephanie is beyond excited to have a loving relationship thats growing even from miles apart.
Marina Malone
Bridesmaid
Stephanie's younger cousin. Marina grew up being Stephanie's practice in babysitting. As she got older, Marina and Steph became close and loved hanging out together. Stephanie would do anything for goofy, loving, Marina, and knows this day would not be the same without her by her side.
Megan Morris
Bridesmaid
Another friendship thats inseparable. Megan and Stephanie grew up knowing each other through sports, parents, and school. Not until college did these two become best friends, roommates, and so much more. They experienced the roller coaster of life side by side and continue to find the beauty in it together. These two lean on each other, boost each others confidence, and continue to share the adventurous drive for life together. No amount of miles keep these two from needing and appreciating each other each day.
Nicole Ineich
Bridesmaid
From sports, and high-school, to college roommates, and support systems, Nicole has been there every step of the way. Always reliable, and a sister to count on, Stephanie couldn't imagine life without Nicole. They continue to grow up together and can make any situation fun as long as they are together! Laughing until you cry-- its bound to happen when these two get together. Inside jokes, stories and constant love, Stephanie needs her Nicole "AKA- Polly" by her side on this special day!
Derek Proctor
Best Man
Derek and Steve began their long lasting relationship around the age of six. Both families signed the boys up for Indian Guides where they became members of the esteemed tribe 'Wild Crows,' best known for their ceremonial bonfires that many deemed "spectacularly unsafe." Derek, Steve & their entire families have remained close ever since. They grew up doing many of the same activities together and with their families: camping, water sports, archery, shooting, family vacations, almost sinking boats (that was Derek & Steve exclusively), kayaking, fishing, scuba diving, dirt biking, and even obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout in duel ceremonies. The two of them grew from boys, to larger boys, to men, sharing incredible experiences and wonderful memories.
Andrew Yazmer
Groomsman
Andrew 'Yaz' Yazmer, was one of Steve's first friends. They met in pre-school and the two of them would sit next to each other during every story time. That friendship obviously continued far past the readings of "One Fish, Two Fish," and the bond became even stronger when the two of them were able to play four years of Varsity Tennis together at Simsbury High School, each of them being Co-Captains their senior year. Even though Andrew & Steve went to different Universities, they still visited each other during and after college in the respective cities they each were living and working in, including out here in Colorado where Andrew came to visit the state for the first time last summer. It's a friendship that needs no catching up, they kick things off right where they left off.
Alex Rios
Groomsman
If you're trying to find Alex & Steve during the wedding...first place you should look is the dance floor :) Alex & Steve have a pretty unique story as to how the two of them met. Alex, a native to Colorado, transferred to the University of New Hampshire for his senior year (also Steve's senior year). After the initial few weeks of the first semester, Alex naturally started becoming close with a number of friends, who also knew Steve. One Saturday night, everyone was at the same bar and one close mutual friend, Becky, went up to Steve and said, "Hey! Have you met Alex yet?" The two of them got introduced and everything clicked right from the get go. It was one of those friendships where each individual can reflect and say, "our paths crossed for a reason, and in the best way possible."
Robb Chase
Groomsman
Robb & Steve first got introduced not knowing what the future held. The challenge of living away from family is that you're away from family. Was Steve simply meeting his sisters boyfriend during a visit back home? Or is there more to this guy? The answers became abundantly clear by the end of the first night that Steve was not only meeting his future brother in-law but also meeting a man who has a tremendous amount of integrity. Robb married Steve's sister Elisa (also in the wedding party) in June of 2018 back in Connecticut where they officially became family. The phrase, "what you see is what you get," couldn't be a better description of Robb. Loyalty, kindness, humor, & humility are all attributes that encompass his everyday nature and makes us feel lucky to have him apart of our life.
Mark Jenkins
Groomsman
Steve & Mark go back to the first time Steve volunteered at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. The summer after when Steve was a full time summer staff member at the camp, he and Mark luckily got assigned as roommates and quite honestly, the two of them haven't stopped laughing every since. With very similar senses of humor, they each find themselves in stitches nearly every time the two of them get together. Mark will be traveling in from Boston and despite the distance, the two of them have remained close since Steve headed west to Colorado. Originally from Ireland, Mark is one of the more genuine, sincere, hilarious & resilient persons Steve has ever met.
Jake Lammert
Groomsman
Pretty much Steve's first friend out in Colorado. The two of them met Steve's second weekend out here at the hockey rink, along with Jake's younger brother Mitch. The three of them share a passion for ice hockey and golf so needless to say they are playing sports together year round. Naturally it was easy for the three of them to develop a close friendship from the get go. In a place where Steve moved not knowing anybody, Jake and his entire family invited him in as if he was their own. Whether that's spending the Holidays together, lacing 'em up for a hockey game with of course...post game beers, or getting a couple rounds in on a Saturday, lot's of laughter has been shared.
Matt Sheridan
Groomsman
Matt Sheridan is Stephanie's brother, Steve's future brother in-law. One of two brother in-laws that Steve will be gaining on August 24th. Steve has gotten to know Matt at various family events and trips back to Steph's home in Michigan. Matt started as the brother of Steve's girlfriend to future brother-in-law. Within that time Matt has become a husband and a father of two beautiful young ladies. Needless to say, the guy's ambitious... Matt has constantly touted at many family gatherings that he could mop the floor with Steve in a dance off, so let's see how ambitious Matt is 8/24/2019 ;)
Justin Sheridan
Groomsman
The oldest of the Sheridan siblings and of course, soon to be Steve's brother-in-law, will be traveling out from Michigan along with the rest of the family. Justin, proud father of the Keeper of the Rings, Landon Sheridan...he and Steve share a common bond through the sport of hockey, each playing Club at their respective colleges. Steve has only known Justin as a family man...an individual eager to take care of those closest to him. A welcome addition to the family, Steve is honored to have Justin anchor the Groomsman.
Sophie Topor
Flower Girl
Our beautiful playdate. Steve and Steph babysit Sophie and her brother as much as they can! However, little do they know these two, quiet possibly are Steve and Stephs best friends in Colorado! There is so much love to give, they can't see their special day without their besties welcoming them down the isle.
Jake Topor
Ring Bearer
Steves "mini-me." Brother to the flower girl, and bestie to the bride and groom, Jakey provides nothing but energy and laughs to these two. Playdates, kids they babysit, best friends- whatever you call it, this little man is necessary for a good time and ring protection.
Landon Sheridan
Ring Bearer
Nephew to the bride and groom, son of Justin the groomsman. Landon gives so much joy to our husband and wife to be. He claps, listens to grandma and grandpa, and fills all hearts with love. Because there is two rings, and they are EXTRA special. Landon is needed to keep double security as well as clap for the bride and groom when they need it most. They know he can be counted on for support and smiles, even when he takes a minute to warm up ; )
Ruger (Roo-ger) Giangiulio
Ring Bear
Our first baby of many;) Ruger has brought so much light into our lives. He truly is our best friend, and has stollen our hearts. This wedding isn’t the same without him by our sides- mommy and daddy officially husband and wife 💙
