Maddie & Alex
Wedding Party
Morgan Kemp
Maid of Honor
Morgan and I met on the first day of college when we were moving in right across the hall from each other. Since then, it's hard to find us apart. We joined the same sorority and continued to live together every year of college. Even after college (when Morgan moved to Columbus because she couldn't stand being away from me), we lived together in Clintonville for another two years.
Nick Thompson
Best Man
Nick is my brother. We are only 13 months apart so we have always been very close. Nick played on just about every sports team with me growing up and even followed me to the University of Dayton. I couldn't ask for a better guy to be my best man.
Racquel Graffeo
Maid of Honor
Racquel and I met in 8th grade when we played lacrosse together, and has been my go-to gal since. I know I can count on her for anything! Although we didn't attend the same college, we spent nearly every day together the year after college, when we were both living the rent-free life at our parents' houses. Sadly, Racquel has ditched Ohio for New York City, but it just makes our reunions even better!
Christian Sterling
Groomsman
Chris, 26, Average Golfer, Average Gamer, Above Average Friend Christian has always been a great friend. We went to school together from kindergarten all the way through college. Christian and I roomed together freshmen year of college and lived together my first year in Columbus. He is a great guy who is always down for a quick 9 after work any day of the week.
Brennan Striegel
Bridesmaid
Brennan and I met on our second day of college as we were having a hard time adjusting to our new college lives. We were able to find a little piece of home in each other and have been by each other's side ever since. Maryland unfortunately claims Brennan now, but she has always made a point to come to Columbus for all big events... and just for fun :)
Quinn Graehling
Groomsman
Quinn, 26, Master of Machine Learning, Ex-Cheerleader, STRONG I met Quinn freshmen year at the University of Dayton. His dorm room was across the hall from mine and he had a few classes with me throughout college. We had some fun summers living together in Dayton and Columbus. Quinn is always down for a good time.
Michelle Stegner
Bridesmaid
Not having a sister of my own, Michelle has fulfilled that role and more when she became my sister-in-law in 2018. She has been my go-to with all wedding related questions the past year and I know I can count on her for anything. Bonus points that she brought my favorite person ever into the world (AKA our flower girl, Delaney) this past September.
Eli Winkle
Groomsman
Eli "Stinkle", 26, Builder of Bridges, Dad I met Eli when he was playing Led Zeppelin on his guitar in his dorm room freshmen year. We have been great friends ever since. Eli is a 10/10 guy and is about to be a 10/10 dad. Eli isn't hard to spot as he is usually the tallest guy in the room.
Leah Schneider
Bridesmaid
Leah and I met when we became sorority sisters at UD. Our friendship blossomed when we lived in the Pi Phi house together, and since then has been filled with countless double dates, margarita runs, and, now, trips to Chicago! Couldn't imagine life without this gal!
Dominick Montone
Groomsman
Dom, 26, Chef, 4.0 in College(nerd), He's taken.... sorry ladies Dom and I met on the 4th floor of Marycrest freshmen year. We lived together all through college. Dom was there for almost all of my fondest memories through college. Dom is one of the smartest and best looking guys I know.
Christina Park
Bridesmaid
Christina and I's friendship goes all the way back to elementary school at Tyler Run Elementary. We have always had fun together, but got even closer when we started playing field hockey and lacrosse together. Since college, we always make sure to make time for adventuring together.
Bobby Oberholzer
Groomsman
Bob, 26, Doc, Fantasy Football Statistician Bob also lived with me junior and senior year of college. Bob is the guy I text whenever the Dayton flyers are playing to vent. In college Bob was always down to go shoot some hoops (or throw some cube). He can recall off memory any fantasy football stat from out league going back 6 years.. Quite impressive.
Paige Niven
Bridesmaid
Paige and I are the only girl cousins on our moms' side of the family amongst many boys, so we have had to stick together. Even now, we love visiting each other in our own cities. From intense family games, to black friday shopping, we always find the fun!
Nate Stegner
Groomsman
Nate, 28, Life of the Party, Austin Texas Man Nate is Maddie's brother. Nate is a genuinely awesome guy. He's always treated me like family. When he walks into a room you know he is about to brighten everyone's day. If you need a new show to binge, Nate is your guy.
Megan Horvath
Bridesmaid
Megan and I met on our OYAA soccer team in third grade as we destroyed out competition in World Cup. Although our soccer careers came to an abrupt but necessary end, our friendship remained stronger than ever! We always made time to visit each other at UD and OSU, and even now we love finding time to go on adventures together.
Jon Stegner
Groomsman
Jon, 30, Father of the cutest baby ever born, Huge Reds Fan Jon is Maddie's oldest brother. Jon and his wife Michelle lived in London for 3 years and Maddie and I got to visit them while they lived there. Fun fact, the first flight I ever went on was a connecting flight to Orlando and my 2nd was across the pond to London. Jon showed us a good time in London and planned an awesome long weekend in Poland and Spain with us as well.
Jaclyn Thompson
Bridesmaid
Jaclyn has always made me feel welcome since the first time I met the Thompson family. We have had so many fun visits with her at UD and Columbus, and I can't wait to go visit her new city, Milwaukee!
Griffin Hogle
Groomsman
Griff, 26, Meme-god, The Irishman I met Griffin Freshmen year of college. Griff never officially lived with me in college, but he might as well have. Whenever I got home from class, I knew to expect Griff posted up on our couch. Griff is the funniest guy I know. Griffin makes the greatest memes on the entire internet. If you're with Griff, you're always having a good time.
Delaney Stegner
Flower Girl
Winner of cutest guest. May or may not cry down the aisle. Lover of avocados.
