Wedding Party

Evelina Kutyma

Maid of Honor

Ev and Stephanie are best friends from graduate school. They spent countless hours studying together and complaining about biostatistics over happy hour drinks. Ev and Stephanie made many memories while tailgating football games, attending the Kentucky Derby, and hosting wine nights in their apartment. Fun fact: Ev was Stephanie's date for the wedding where she and Brian met!

Kevin Miller

Best Man

Kevin and Brian have always been each other's best man, officially when Brian stood up at Kevin's wedding in 2018 and now again with the roles reversed. Kevin and Brian could not have grown up closer, and they continue to build on what is almost a totally shared life experience that has always included LEGOs, sports, and a love of brotherly competition.

Chelsea Pizzo

Bridesmaid

Chelsea was Stephanie's mentor during graduate school. They became fast friends as they bonded over their strange coworkers at MDHHS and their love of Bravo TV shows and chimichangas. Stephanie was recently a bridesmaid in Chelsea's wedding, and she's so excited to have Chelsea in her wedding party.

Erik Bolda

Groomsman

Brian met Erik in kindergarten, and the next 10+ years were mostly spent biking through the neighborhood to each others houses. They eventually lived together in Ann Arbor where they learned the best part of going out was actually coming home and throwing on a movie or listening to old country music.

Nicole Dunkley

Bridesmaid

Nicole (Dunks) is Stephanie's "twin" sorority sister. They became close friends during freshman year after spending a weekend on houseboats over Memorial Day weekend. Throughout college, you could find Nicole and Stephanie eating sushi at Mikuni or grabbing beers at 3rd and U.

Mark Shock

Groomsman

Mark is the closest in age of all of Brian's dozens of cousins, and they therefore basically grew up together between family events, holidays, and weekends Up North. Mark and Brian have always shared a love of video/board games, late nights, and holding on dearly to childhood fun.

Lo McVey

Bridesmaid

Lo is Stephanie's "big" sorority sister. They quickly bonded during Stephanie's first few weeks of college; Lo made Davis, California feel like a second home. Stephanie and Lo spent many college nights at Burgers & Brew, or relaxing at Lo's apartment eating Trader Joes macaroni & cheese balls.

Pat Maillet

Groomsman

Brian met Pat before classes even started freshman year at the University of Michigan and a rip-roaring friendship was immediately born. They shared a rabid fandom of U of M Football and Pat pulled Brian into a love of U of M Basketball just as extreme. Pat and Brian otherwise lived Ann Arbor life to the fullest between episodes of Seinfeld.

Michelle Rebuffatti

Bridesmaid

Michelle and Stephanie are sorority sisters. They became close friends during senior year when they were in the same virology class -- Stephanie couldn't have survived that class without Michelle by her side. When they weren't studying, Michelle and Stephanie could be found dancing at G Street Wunderbar's "Funk Night."

Everett Cook

Groomsman

Ev and Brian knew each other through friends in Ann Arbor, but their own bond was cemented at a Bruce Springsteen concert which revealed their special willingness to have an awesome time no matter the occasion. Everett shares with Brian a deep respect for nature, and is always there on a whim to go on a trip, have a soul-searching phone call, or laugh over and over at the same old jokes.

Jenna Miller

Bridesmaid

Jenna is Brian's sister. Stephanie immediately knew she liked Jenna after hearing about Jenna's love of Taco Bell and good ranch dressing. Jenna has always made Stephanie feel like a family member, and Stephanie is so excited to officially become Jenna's sister.
