Stephanie & Joshua
Meet the Wedding Party
Michael Case
Father of the Bride
Hello all. I’m Mike Case, Father of the Bride (that’s FOB for the under 30 crowd). I’m so proud of everything that Stephanie has achieved to this point in her life including finding a great guy to spend the rest of it with! I’m incredibly excited for Stephanie, Josh and of course, Benny to begin their journey together. I love them so much.
Christina Case
Mother of the Bride
Hi, I'm Christina, the Mother of the Bride. As a child, Stephanie and Alyssa dressed up as princess', and played Mommy/ Baby. On her wedding day, Stephanie is the real princess, and I couldn't be happier to see her living out her dreams. As an adult, she shows compassion and commitment in her profession and personal life, and I couldn't be prouder of her in her nursing career. Josh rounds out that commitment and passion. The first time I met Josh he had a runny nose and a head injury, and I reassured Steph not to worry. Luckily she listened. Congratulations Steph and Josh on your love, your commitment and your marriage. May your love for each other grow stronger and deeper every day. Remember, you might have outgrown my lap, but you will never outgrow my heart.
Kirk Puterbaugh
Father of the Groom
Hi, I’m Kirk Puterbaugh, Father of the Groom. My unconditional love for Josh started well before he was born and continues to grow by the year. When I try to see Stephanie through Josh’s eyes and heart I see someone who lights up the room when she walks in. Her unselfish care for others makes her even more lovable. I pray for God to bless Stephanie and Josh as they become husband and wife.
Lisa Puterbaugh
Mother of the Groom
Hi I am Lisa Puterbaugh and I am the Mother of the Groom! My love for Josh started when I found out I was pregnant! Josh completed our family as the baby. Josh had only been dating Stephanie for a couple months and his older brother was getting married in Mexico and Steph went with us! She interacted beautifully with our family!! On that trip I thought could she be the one for my son? We all fell in love with Steph on that trip!! She complements and levels Josh with her sweet, kind, patient, gentle, calm spirit! I wish you both a happily ever after but most importantly I pray you both will experience beautiful joy in your marriage as you seek God's blessings in your every day lives together!! I love you both so very much!!
Alyssa Case
Maid of Honor
Hi, I’m Alyssa, Maid of Honor and twin sister to the bride! Stephanie is not only my twin (and baby sis!) but also my built in best friend. We’ve shared countless memories from dance competitions to country concerts and reality TV marathons. And Josh is not only my future brother-in-law but also an old colleague (lol) and dad to my favorite nephpup, Benny. Can’t wait to celebrate and see Josh break it down on the dance floor - cue pants rip!!
Joey Puterbaugh
Best Man
Hi, I’m Joey, the Best Man and the stronger and better looking Puterbaugh brother! Jokes aside, It’s been fun watching Josh grow into the man he is today — from the days of dressing him up as Cinderella (aka “Josh-erella”) on our living room floor as babies, to competing in water sports at Lake Gaston… Josh, you’re a man of wittiness, character, integrity and loyalty. I’m proud of you, bro. Steph, I knew you were the one for Josh when you came to San Miguel for my wedding. I can’t wait to officially call you Sistera and Auntie to my babies!
Benny
Dog of Bride & Groom
Hey everyone! Even though I go by many names like good boy, Beary, and dude, my name is Benny Puterbaugh, and I am the furry child of Steph and Josh (Mom and Dad). I am obsessed with both of my parents all the time and consider both my best friends in the entire world. You can find me either snuggling with my mom or playing ball with my dad. I can not wait to walk (I will probably run) down the aisle and give kisses to anyone who wants one! See you all at the wedding! (Bring treats)

Katarina Martinez
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Katarina Martinez! I have known Stephanie since we were only two years old. We have experienced so much in our lives together and standing by her side as she marries the love of her life, I think will be the best experience yet. Getting to be around Stephanie and Josh I have seen the love they have for each other and how great Josh is for my love bug. I could not be happier to be apart of such a special moment for the two of them.
Nicole Tooker

Hi my name is Nicole Tooker. I have known Steph for the last 25 years, best friends since we were 2! Growing up together, we have made countless lifelong memories between school days, dance competitions, and many important milestones. She has always been more like a sister and her family is my family. I love how genuinely happy Josh makes her and I am more than honored to celebrate another milestone together, as I stand by their side on their most important day!

I’ve been lucky enough to hold that title for the past 5 years, and I’ve had the pleasure of watching Steph grow with Josh for the past 4 years and counting! I feel incredibly honored to be a part of this special day celebrating some of my favorite people, and I can’t wait to stand by my “big sis” on her big day!
Rustin Haynes
Groomsman
I'm Rustin Haynes, cousin to Josh & also a groomsman. Growing up, our moms side of the family has always been very close. Josh has always been a funny & incredible person. Josh & I have always been really tight from playing Halo 2 online back in the day cracking jokes till we cried, playing spikeball while watching our tempers hit the fan to playing the game what are the odds. I will say meeting Steph and seeing how they both interact, they truly are a 1 to 1 for each other. Can't wait to see them tie the knot to see another incredible person joining this large and beautiful family.
Stephen Durbin
Groomsman
Hi I’m Stephen Durbin, Groomsman. Josh and I first met while at CNU, I lived with two of his younger teammates and would often be around the lax guys. However, we didn’t become good friends until after Josh had graduated and I was going into my senior year, that’s when we first played Xbox together and the rest is history. Over the next year we played so much together Steph and my girlfriend Gabby bonded over their mutual dislike of Fortnite. From summer Lakehouse vacations to post work happy hours, Josh and Steph have become two of my closest friends and I can’t wait to be a part of their celebration!
Emily Haney
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Emily! I first met Steph when I transferred to CNU. I didn’t know many people so I reached out to her to get dinner and help me navigate our sorority. As I sat across from her, I watched her face light up as she spoke about her crush, a cute lax boy named Josh. In that moment I knew I made a friend but, we didn’t realize how close we’d become and how important Josh and Steph would soon be to each other. From crush to Mr. & Mrs. Puterbaugh, I’m lucky to have witnessed their love for each other grow. I can’t wait to be apart of their special day!
Tim Leavy
Groomsman
I’m Tim Leavey, Groomsman. Josh has been a great friend of mine since our junior year of high school when we would banter in the hallways of HRA and crash at each other’s houses after football games. I’d even unexpectedly show up for his shifts at Carrabba’s to get more time hanging out. In college that blossomed into visits and meeting up at local bars during the holidays, one of which I had the honor of meeting Steph at Brickhouse not far from CNU. I knew this day was coming from that very moment, both perfectly in sync, caring and genuine. I am thrilled to be part of their wedding day!
Emily Williams
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m one of the Emily’s! Stephanie and I met in nursing school, and our running joke is that I am the secret Case triplet. Stephanie is the best kind of friend to have and I couldn’t have asked for a better bonus friend in Josh. I’m so excited to be part of my two favorite people’s special day!
Michael Mabry
Groomsman
I’m Michael, groomsman.Josh and I’s relationship began at Christopher Newport where we both played defense on the lacrosse team together. In college we bonded over our to dedication the team. I mentored Josh in the weight room and taught him how to hold the dumbbells… he’s grown so fast. Our bond truly took form when we moved in together January 1st, 2020.. as the world turned upside down, our friendship grew stronger as we molded our lifestyles to fit the new landscape. I’ve been blessed to spend so much quality time with Josh, of course the best part has been getting to witness the wonderful love he shares with such an incredible human. Three cheers for Steph and Josh! Honored to be here.
