Steph & Jared
the "I do" Crew
sophie greene
Maid of Honor
Sophie & Steph have developed quite a list of accolades throughout their friendship: teammates, cleaning ladies, Nittany Lions, best friends. Always at the ready with a joke that's gone too far or a genuine life talk, Sophie has been Steph's rock since middle school.
connor foust
Best Man
Who else? The go-to for just about everything, Connor has been Jared's best friend since elementary school. He's the biggest supporter of Steph & Jared's relationship since day 1 and has likely been prepping this best man speech since syllabus week freshman year.
Jenna Hinkle
Maid of Honor
A sorority sister and an actual sister all rolled into one! Jenna introduced Steph & Jared during their time at Penn State. Running on Mickey pretzels, bottomless mimosas, and Happily Ever After firework tears, it's no wonder the two kept the sisterhood alive down in the sunshine state.
lucas dubyak
Groomsman
Jared & Lucas shared Friday and Saturday nights on the football field for several years. From their days as Butler Tornadoes to Penn State Nittany Lions, the two have always been the best of friends.
jordan strausbaugh
Bridesmaid
Sister to Jared (and Steph), Jordan's the one you call on when you need a good laugh or a good cry. Always equipped with big sister advice and the kindest heart, this day would not be possible without Jordan!
josh strausbaugh
Groomsman
Current (and future) brother-in-law, catch Josh with a Jack and Coke in one hand and a karaoke microphone in the other. Wouldn't be a party without him!
maury cronauer
Bridesmaid
Steph & Maury have been friends since the 7th grade Thunderbees! Through all the snow days, basement sleepovers, college late nights, and wedding details, Maury's been there for every special moment. A sister from another mister.
derek distasio
Groomsman
Steph's brother, and Jared's future brother-in-law, Der brings a smile to the face of everyone he meets. If we're lucky, we may just get a dance or two out of this guy!
raegan distasio
Bridesmaid
Aside from being Steph's twin/cousin/other half, Rae has been around since the very beginning of Steph & Jared's relationship. From Delta Zeta hayrides to late night in the Sig Pi basement, she knows how to bring the party with her everywhere she goes.
dante vetica
Groomsman
A beer down in Mexico or a duet to Rubber Ducky? Dante's your guy. A friend who has become a lot more like family, Dante & Jared are *both* the sons of a "Rich from State Farm." "Oh, What A Night," we'll be having when Dante joins the PSU party.
katie distasio
Bridesmaid
Steph's cousin and built in bestie for life! Steph & Katie have been through all of life's best and biggest moments together from American Girl Dolls to their Hilary-Duff-only cover "band."
ryan nunamaker
Groomsman
The final addition to the Hinkle Hotel, Ryan is the last of the significant-other club. If anyone is bound to rip their pants and/or steal the show from dropping it low, it's Ryan.
jordan olenginski
Bridesmaid
The gal who (somehow) puts up with Derek and the whole Distasio clan, Jord has been one of the greatest pieces of the family puzzle. Should she hear even a whisper of Queen at this wedding, clear the dance floor, and *don't stop her now, cause she's havin' a good time,* for sure.
andrew paterno
Groomsman
Fellow Butler Tornado (and Nittany Lion), Andrew has been one of Jared's closest friends since high school. Here's to hoping this guy packs his Whiskey Glasses for his travels back to the Happy Valley.
michela pantano
Bridesmaid
Steph's ride-or-die, Michela has been there through thick and thin. The only friend who's ready to belt some Broadway and eat sushi for every meal, Michela & Steph always have the best time together. The only question now is... "But what will she wear?!"
sam rippy
Groomsman
Fellow fraternity brothers, Rippy & Jared are bringing it back to their PSU "glory days." Will they end up with a Monkey Boy in hand at The Saloon or out on the Sig Pi Solarium? Only time will tell...
emily siok
Bridesmaid
If it weren't for Bigler Hall, Steph & Em wouldn't have wound up as big & little (or BFFs for that matter.) She lived just a few doors down from Jared and Connor freshman year at Penn State. Always the biggest cheerleader for Steph & Jared's relationship, this Jersey Girl has a heart of gold.
Keaton North
Junior Groomsman
Jared's cousin and the real MVP of Team Hinkle! There's a 100% chance Keaton will be the be the king of the photobooth on wedding day!
Kenzie North
Junior Bridesmaid
Jared's cousin, and *first* girlfriend, Kenzie has officially given Steph permission to share their main man for life. If she's not strutting her stuff down the aisle, there's a good chance you'll find Kenzie shaking it in the middle of the dance floor!
Layla Lotarski
Flower Girl
Five years old and totally adorable, Jared's little cousin, Layla is bound to steal the show with her beautiful little smile and princess dress!
Ella Lotarski
Flower Girl
Easily persuaded with a handful of M&Ms, Ella *may* actually make it down the aisle at this wedding alongside her sister.
Mila DeLucca
Flower Girl
Steph's baby cousin, and the tiniest member of the flower girl crew, little Mi will be following the footsteps of the Lotarski sisters down the aisle!
