Stephanie Lopez
Bride
Our bride-to-be, is a vibrant lover of life with a deep passion for travel, great food, and all things adventurous. She is a proud dog mom to Ludlow, who happily played matchmaker for her and Spencer. Each year Stephanie creates a bucket list, and this year she plans to complete a triathlon, apply to graduate school, and has already witnessed first hand the massive waves of Nazaré, Portugal (a personal goal of hers). Rooted in her faith, she loves God, enjoys volunteering, and dreams of becoming a better surfer. She is excited to continue chasing new goals and building a life full of love and adventure with her soon-to-be husband, Spencer.
Evan Geering
Best Man
Evan and Spencer met during Young Life in high school, where they quickly bonded over their shared faith, love of sports, and passion for the outdoors. Their friendship has been strengthened through countless duck hunts, camping trips, and beach days over the years. Evan has been Spencer’s best friend through life’s ups and downs, always providing support, encouragement, and a steady presence when it mattered most. Spencer is deeply honored to have him standing by his side as best man.
Amanda Anderson
Matron of Honor
Stephanie’s matron of honor and dearest friend, has been by her side since they first met in high school (both painfully awkward). They instantly connected while on the same competitive dance team and have stayed close since. From after-school adventures and spontaneous road trips to deep conversations that strengthened Stephanie’s faith, including the sacred moment when Amanda and her husband, Dean, baptized her, their bond has only grown deeper with time. Amanda, an adventure enthusiast and true lover of life, has been Stephanie’s strongest confidant, loyal supporter, and chosen sister. Today, Amanda stands as matron of honor, celebrating the woman she has walked through life with for so many meaningful years!
Ludlow
Matchmaker & Certified Lover Boy
Ludlow loves carrots, swimming, long walks on the beach, and endless games of fetch. Ball is truly life for this dog. He is a sensitive sweetheart who’s been with Stephanie since he was a tiny puppy, he melts for cuddles, belly rubs, but only until the next throw. This ultimate lover boy instantly bonded with Spencer and proudly played matchmaker for the couple. He is serving as Stephanie's "something blue" for the big day, with his brand new collar! And yes, he definitely wants to say hi to you right now (ideally by dropping a very slobbery ball at your feet). Just don’t say B-A-L-L and the wedding should go smoothly 🎾
