Erin & Josiah
Wedding Party
Joan Stevens
Mother of the Bride
Joan will be with us in spirit as we celebrate the reincarnation of Joan and Don's anniversary, and the marriage of her youngest 'baby.' Given her role as Angel 77, she is sure to bless us on this special day.
Stephanie Brody
Mother of the Groom
Stephanie is very excited to see her firstborn finally settling down, and her wisdom, aesthetic values, and love of music will be reflected in this joyous event. As a couple, Erin and Josiah hope to emulate her unflinching morals, dizzying intellect, and unstoppable work ethic.
Don Stevens
Father of the Bride
Don is Erin's Dad and is proud to be walking her down the aisle on her special day. Both a tenacious and humble man, he will be rocking his original Air Force attire and surely representing the strength of our family.
Rick Reibstein
Father of the Groom
Josiah's Dad will preside over the occasion with his usual unassuming humor and easygoing nature, and he will also be officiating our wedding ceremony as a recently ordained minister (don't worry, it's not his first rodeo, shoutout Jono and Bette).
Agata Wlodarczyk
Maid of Honor
Agata and Erin met on October 3, 2003 (during high school) and the rest is history. Agata has since become a surrogate Stevens and it shows when she's around. ;)
Becca Reibstein
Best Woman
With six years difference, Becca and Josiah are close friends and simpatico in personality. She will be honoring the couple as the "best woman" in this wedding and will surely lend her trademark wit and elegance to the occasion.
Kay Stevens-Rosa
Bridesmaid
Kay is the first sister born into the Stevens clan. 20 years apart from Erin, they had a later kindling than usual for siblings, but once the bond was made, the song references and laughter just wouldn't stop.
Malcolm Campbell
Groomsman
Malcolm and Josiah have been friends since early elementary school and have spent much of their following years goofing around, playing music, and watching horror movies together. He has been a consistent source of strength, inspiration, and humor for Josiah.
Mark Stevens
Bridesman
Mark is Erin's oldest brother. He's played a special part in Erin's life including guiding her musical taste, teaching her Stairway to Heaven on the guitar, and sharing the true bond of cat parenthood.
Lucas Rainey
Groomsman
Introduced their Freshman year of Oberlin, Josiah and Lucas have been writing songs together, getting into trouble, and cracking each other up with their inane trains of thoughts ever since.
Sean Stevens
Bridesman
Sean is Erin's older brother and they tend to have a lot on common, including general outlook on work, life, and humor. They are both into the graphic designs and making fun of not good graphic designs. Baby loafs.
Jon Polit
Groomsman
Hebrew school pals, Jon and Josiah originally bonded over a shared love of classic comic strips, murder mysteries, Jewish humor, and Jon's ability to pick up almost any instrument he's presented with. They lived together on Western Ave for many years, and their friendship wasn't even strained.
Julie Lawhead
Bridesmaid
Julie is Erin's closest sister in age, and likely Erin's spirit animal. Aka a tiger? Anyway, they have a lot in common and look to one another to frequently share memes and laughs about the oddities in life.
Sam Brody-Felber
Groomsman
Josiah's cousin is only two weeks older than he is but he has always been the mature and responsible one, and unquestionably the heartthrob of the two. He and Josiah have been best friends since they were babies and have remained close to this day.
Shelley Young
Bridesmaid
Shelley was Erin's best friend in middle school when they both lived in Atlanta, GA. When Shelley showed up wearing her Nirvana shirt when they met up at Papa Razzi on Newbury Street some 13 odd years later, it was like nothing had ever changed.
Jay Nolan
Groomsman
Jay is among the "Oberlin Dascomb Hall" crew, which included Jon, Lucas, and Josiah. A family man, multi-talented media artist, and lover of dinosaurs, Jay had Josiah, Lucas, and Jon as groomsmen at his wedding now 10(!) years ago. We hope for this to be as wonderful an occasion as that was!
Emyay "Emily" King
Bridesmaid
Emyay scared Erin by splashing her in the Dyson dorm pool one fateful night. They've entertained each other ever since. With Emyay taking a sincere interest in Erin's "splatter" art and Emyay sharing the ability to be shameless with personality, it was meant to be.
Sam Dechenne
Groomsman
Bandleader, trumpet-player extraordinaire, and loyal friend, Sam and Josiah became colleagues and then buds while playing in various bands freelancing in Boston about nine years ago. They perform constantly in their group The Late Risers as well Josiah's Quintet. Don't get them started on the show The Office or you'll be there all week.
Arlo Stevens-Rosa Thomas
Ring Bearer
Arlo is Erin's first nephew's first son!! He is the happiest child you will ever meet and is sure you make you smile upon arrival. He loves trucks and is likely to bring our rings down the aisle in one.
Izzy Costantino
Flower Girl
The oldest of the next generation of the Brody clan, Izzy is quickly growing into a brilliant and multi-talented young woman with a passion for creativity and love for everyone in her family. We are excited that she isn’t too old to take the role of flower girl, as she is an expert at spreading happiness wherever she goes!
