Wedding Party

MR. JUSTIN STELLER

Groom

FUTURE MRS. OLIVIA STELLER

Bride

JOE BOSTIC

Best Man

Joe & I have been BFFs since the 6th grade. We had EVERY single class together that year - so we were destined to be friends. You can say we are inseparable - college roommates for 4 years, roller/ice hockey teammates, worked at multiple jobs together, and now we are neighbors. He is pretty cool I guess.

MACKENZIE STEGEMAN

Maid of Honor

Mackenzie and I met in sixth grade over 13 years ago. Some of my fondest memories have been shared with her. From getting our licenses & high school shenanigans, to wedding planning & late night conversations over a bowl of pasta - our friendship has never changed. Now that we are "long-distance" because she lives in KC, I miss her a lot. Thanks to our friend Steven, who is also her boyfriend, she comes home much more often. But whether she is 210.2 miles away, or right by my side - she will ALWAYS be my go-to gal. My BEST friend.

AJ STELLER

Best Man

AJ is my older brother. We are a lot a like, even down to our facial hair... or lack there of. He introduced me to the world of car modification before I could drive. This has made me who I am today and is the main reason I am a poor homeowner with two car payments. But seriously, I admire him as a dad and love that he gave me the best Niece & Nephews!

SAM STELLER

Matron of Honor

Sam is married to Justin’s brother, AJ. She is the sister I never had and always wanted. Sam, AJ, and the kids lived at The Steller's for a while before Justin and I moved out. We all shared one bathroom - so she really felt like a sister. We have a lot in common & we always have a good time when we are together. I can't wait to OFFICIALLY call her my SIL. I feel blessed to have her as my friend, sister, and family. I also can't wait for Hunter, Mia, and Leo to have some cousins to play with in a few years & watch them grow up together ;)

CAVIN PENN

Groomsman

Cavin, Kevin, Calvin - whatever you want to call him. He is a great friend. We somehow survived working in construction together for over 7 years. Many close calls and even more laughs. Cavin and I stay close by dusting up on a men's hockey league on Thursday nights. #BeerLeague

LAUREN TYLER

Bridesmaid

Lauren aka my "Sissy". We met early on in high school, but really hit it off our Junior year. I love her sweet smile, kind heart, and easy-going personality - all qualities of a friend that I am lucky to have in my life. Over the years, we have been there for each other through it all - the good & the bad. Lauren started dating one of Justin's best friends, Sam, almost 6 years ago. As if we weren't already close enough, now we see each other more & have even more in common thanks to our favorite "steamrollers".

STEPHEN FREUND

Groomsman

"Steeeveeee" is one of the few cool Steves on this planet. We go way back. Many do not know this but we started a unsuccessful lawn care company called J&S lawn care back in the day. One paying job later, we were back to focusing on hockey. I can always count on Steve to bring a dip filled smile to the room and extra Captain Morgan to "finish the night."

JOCELYN CELESTE

Bridesmaid

Jocelyn & I met back in May 2012 and we have been besties ever since. When I look back at old pictures (which she took 99% of), I can't help but smile reminiscing on all of the fun times we have shared over the years. She is always down for an adventure - whether it is a concert, pub crawl, dinner date, or driving wherever the road takes us. Our adventures are a little more "tame" ever since she welcomed baby Trey to the world in June 2019. But, I love that our friendship hasn't ever faded & I know she will always be there for me, no matter what.

SAM EICHENLAUB

Groomsman

Sam and I's conversations include inside jokes, Family Guy Quotes, movie quotes, or just made up noises that we have been doing for years. We have literally never had a conversion without one of those things and I love it. My best memories with Sam were from before we could drive. Playing knee hockey in my parents basement while drinking every last soda in the fridge. We don't play knee hockey anymore (we're old), but we can still thrown down on a "sippy" or two & love to make our girlfriends laugh at our stupidity.

JENNY FREUND

Bridesmaid

Jenny has been my "twinny" since about freshman year of high school. She is always down to have a great time! Whether it's a pole dancing class, sitting by the pool, or living our best lives in downtown Nashville - she is the life of the party & keeps is real (except for her lashes of course). Jen is also the reason Justin and I are together. If it wasn't for her house on New Year's Eve, we never would have met. And if it wasn't for her giving him my number six months later Memorial Day weekend, we never would have "re-met". It's been 7 years since she introduced me to the love of my life, but we've been meatballs for over a decade. JEN & LIV forever.

BRAD GAYLORD

Groomsman

This is my buddy B-rad. He likes to make sure I never forget that I am short. If you have ever met Brad there is a 100 percent chance he asked you "what's on your shirt" just before he tries to flick your nose. We have been friends for years and he continues to attempt this trick. Brad is a great friend, engagement photographer, house renovating partner and drinking buddy.

JESSICA MANDLEBERGER

Bridesmaid

Jessica is my cousin, built in friend, and now we get to add "bridesmaid" to the list. She has been there from the beginning - literally. First, she was my babysitter. Then, I looked up to her as my older cousin & I started babysitting her kids. Now, I am thankful to call her one of dearest friends who I can talk to about everything under the sun. My dad's side of the family is not the biggest, but we are all very, very close. Which is one of the reasons why Jessica and I spend so much time together - even more so the older we get. I got super lucky to have one of the best cousins ever!

TRENT SOUTHARDS

Groomsman

Trent is the KING of dad jokes. I am actually jealous of the sheer quantity of jokes this guy can retain. I mean high quality, tear jerking jokes. Trent and I's greatest accomplishment together was in middle school when we got 2nd place in NARCH Roller Hockey Nationals. We entered the rink through a smoke machine and everything. Since then we have done nothing that impressive.

EMILIE BOSTIC

Bridesmaid

Emilie is married to Justin's best friend, Joe, and we met the same night we met our hubbys - The Freund Household is 2 for 2 on marriages by the way. The last 7 years have been nothing short of interesting with this little firecracker in my life. She is not afraid to tell you how it is & she is always down to make jell-o shots! Em is tiny, sarcastic, and loud - but also kind, funny, and genuine. All of these traits make her a great elementary school teacher, as well as a great friend. I am going to miss being neighbors with her and Joe, but our friendship will never fade.

JOE STEWART

Groomsman

Joe is the only reason I have stepped foot on a battle ship. Be jealous. Joe and I have been friends since high school. I will never forget the car he drove back then. Not because it was cool, but because he had one perfectly clean headlight and one that was virtually unusable. Joe now has clean headlights. People don't forget.

HEATHER FREUND

Bridesmaid

Heather & I have actually known each other since high school through mutual friends and she also worked for my dad at Bristol. It wasn't until her and Stephen starting talking that we really started to hang out and get to know one another. The fact that Justin & Stephen have been friends for so long helps because the four of us ALWAYS have a fun time together! Heather is such a sweetheart - she is a loving sister/daughter, an amazing nurse, and her love for margaritas/Mexican food is stronger than anyone I know. I cherish her friendship and love that we have been able to celebrate our weddings together! #ForeverFreundly #AStellerWedding

SPENCER STRODE

Usher

I am lucky to have such an awesome brother-in-law. I remember building him a Little Tikes basketball hoop on Christmas morning. Being much older I was confident that I could take him... I was wrong. This dude has always been a natural athlete. Makes me happy I played the one sport he never picked up so I can be better at something. Buddy Boop - my baby brother. We may be 5 years apart, but we've always had that "sibling" connection and there are some things that only you & I will ever understand. Having this bond with you makes me feel very blessed to have had such a great friend to share my childhood with. I look forward to watching you find yourself through your 20's (omg) & get even closer now that you're back home. Keep killin' it Spence - your #1 fan will always have your back.

MITCHELL MOELLER

Usher

I have been impressed with Mitch-Mo's milk drinking & tootsie roll eating ability since we were 2 years old. Hopefully he passes this skill on to his mini me, Bryson. We have been playing hockey together since before either of us could skate. And if it wasn't for our 4 national championship rings, it could be argued that we still hardly know how to skate. I don't see Mitch very often but he still remains one of my closest friends.

HUNTER HILLIAR

Junior Usher

Hunter is our oldest nephew. He is 10 years old now - so basically an adult. Justin has known him since he was a baby, and he was only 2 years old when I came into the picture. Watching him grow up has been so fun. He is an all around "cool kid" - plays disc golf, likes video games, a great big brother, and can hang with the big guys because he can say some pretty witty stuff. We love him so much & can't wait to see where the future takes him.

MIA STELLER

Flower Girl

Where do I start with this one... Mia is our sweet, but very sassy niece. She is stuck in the middle with two brothers, but she knows how to hold her own. With an even mix of tom-boy and girly girl - she will play in the dirt with trucks while wearing a dress and my jewelry. Mia likes to "test the waters" sometimes (middle child syndrome) but at the end of the day has the sweetest heart. There is no question that she is related to Justin... they not only look alike, but she also sticks her tongue out when she is trying to concentrate and it is the cutest. Having Mia in our lives has shown us just how fun little girls can be & she will always be our "baby".

LEO STELLER

Ring Bearer

Leo - the actual baby of the family. He is the 4th member in our lefty crew - this is an important fact because his mom (Sam), Justin and I are all left-handed. Justin can't deny Leo is related to him either because they both love to "zone out" when they first wake up or randomly stare into space. The littlest Steller has a heart of GOLD, I swear. His love is so sweet & gives the best hugs. He is fearless, lover of food, natural athlete, has the most amazing hair, and is very smart. Leo is such a light to have around - which is why we love spending time with him & we feel extra blessed that we are his Aunt & Uncle.

JAKE HOPKINS

Officiant

Spoiler Alert: Jake is tall and it is okay to ask him "how is the weather up there?" I have kept carnival gold fish alive longer then I have known Jake but we were instant close friends. We quickly bonded over cars, weight lifting, Tom Segura and most importantly, Rick and Morty. Jake is very intelligent, besides the time he questioned me on my Honda knowledge. That's just stupid.
