Christyna Lepetiuk

Christyna is the best sister Larissa could ever ask for. She is funny, vivacious, creative, and bright. She currently lives in VA with her husband and many fur babies :) . She and her husband are expecting a baby in late July.

Alex Houpt

Co-Best Man

Alex and John met their Freshman years at the University of Delaware in 2005. They were random roommates, but hit it off with obscure video game and British comedy related references, as well as puns related to studying Calculus way too late in the evenings. Alex and John managed to keep each other going through the craziness of college and maintained friendship into emerging adulthood. Visiting Alex in the Greater Washington DC area inspired John to look for career opportunities in the DC-area in the first place, which ultimately lead to John meeting Larissa, and subsequently this website being set up - Wow!

Katie Gangloff

Maid of Honor

Katie is John's sister. She is an amazing woman, who Larissa is so excited to call a sister too! She is funny, kind, and smart. Larissa and Katie first met in Novemeber of 2016 at John’s Friendsgiving. When you see her, congratulate her, because she will have just recently graduated from her respiratory therapy program. Go Katie! Katie and John's Co-Best man Billy were engaged in December!

William Hoff

Co-Best Man

Billy and John met through Katie. Billy and Katie started courting in their high school years. John was always impressed how well of a match Katie and Billy were over those years. Billy and John have bonded well being fans of Destiny (video game) and often talk about their virtual adventures. Billy has embraced the family’s Chinese traditions and keeps the fun going with lots of tea, Mah Jongg, Chinese cake, and the like. Billy and John are always looking forward to scoring the next bubble tea or exotic engrams in Destiny 2.

Darlene Richardson

Darlene and Larissa went to Eastern Nazarene College together. They spent many hours in CAS together and in the car driving back and forth from Massachusets to Maryland. Darlene has traveled all around the world. We are so excited for her to be spending this special day with us!

Raymond McCauley

Groomsman

Ray and John have battled together for many years through engineering school (undergrad and grad). So..many...equations... Ray and John share love of anime/manga/Japanese pop culture, as well as sci-fi (Star Trek and the like). Ray and John often passed the time sitting in the office making random noises at each other, which resulted in excessive giggles. John knows if the wedding runs into composites-related problems, Ray will be there with fiber and resin in hand ready to patch.

Jennifer Youssef

Bridesmaid

Jennifer and Larissa met in the Howard County Young Adults (HoCoYA) group, in which Larissa was a member of in Maryland. She is tenacious and knows how to get people together. She and Larissa spent many hours in book clubs, having lunch, and traveling to bible study. Jennifer was instramental in helping us find neat things to do when we moved to Connectut.

Richard Readdy

Groomsman

John and Rich met while working on bubble related lab problems. Rich and John share mutual love of most bubble related things (like beer, nitro coffee, etc). Whenever John is wanted to go on the next big adventure around town, Rich is down. Rich and John are still trying to figure out how the craziness of renting in Newark worked.

Julie Nyman

Bridesmaid

Julie and Larissa have been frends since 2012 when they started high school. They have adventured through Frederick, Ellicott City, and Baltimore. Julie and Larissa have been each others sounding board since high school. Julie is a strong women, scientist, and author of a blog.

James Kast

Groomsman

James and John met during DC Fellowship years. James and John hit it off on many coffee break adventures and bureaucracy busting brainstorming. James and John enjoyed trying to figure out how to make the world better with fuel cells and enjoyed cruising around DC with zero-emission vehicles. James and John are always ready for football to start and some Call of Duty: Zombies action.

Nicholas Ryu

Groomsman

Nick and John met during the DC Fellowship years. Nick and John hit it off living in the same neighborhood during that time. Nick and John would hang out around town and life was like being in a 90s TV comedy or buddy-cop movie. Nick would always be planning on the next big hang out or social gathering and John would be there to make sure Nick did not go crazy from too much planning and subsequent burn out. Nick and John like thinking about urban planning, transportation systems, and wondering why can’t we have nice things.
