Wedding Party
Hannah Ruddy
Maid of Honor
Hannah is my little sister who I am so excited to have standing next to me as I marry the love of my life. Since before Hannah was born I always wanted a little sister (sorry Nick) and when Hannah was born, she was my real life doll- a dream come true. Hannah has always been my biggest cheerleader, and even with the almost 6 year age gap she ALWAYS, no matter what the situation brought, had my best interest at heart. She always wanted me to find the love of my life, just like she has with her boyfriend, & I know she is just as excited to stand next to me as I am to have her. Hannah will always be my built in and life long best friend. I love you Han
Alyssa Kemper
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is Steven’s older and loving sister, loyal friend and now I am honored to have her next to me as my bridesmaid. Since I met Alyssa she has always treated me as part of the family. Alyssa not only helped plan the engagement but she celebrates the joining of 2 families and welcomed me with open arms as her future sister in law. Love you Lyss. PS can not wait for all the memories we are going to make together now that you are back home in New Jersey for good (winky face)
Cecille (Ruddy) Dumbauld
Bridesmaid
Cecille is my half aunt who I have grown up with my whole life and has been there since the beginning as we are ony 11 months apart. As we have entered into the same stages of life we have gotten much closer over the last few years. From childhood memories of having holidays together and birthday celebrations, to phone calls to debrief each other on our lives on the way into work, she has been a constant source of love and support in my life. I couldn’t imagine this day without her next to me.
Jackie and Jill Kuper
Bridesmaid
Jackie and Jill Kuper have been my life long best friends for as long as I can remember. We have been through so many different chapters of our lives, and even though we do not talk every day or sometimes even talk month to month, we always know that the love is there and we would be there for the other in a heartbeat. We grew up playing barbies, dress up and brats (as seen in the picture we did not go to dance classes together we just made recitals in our basements to show our parents), to swim classes at my parents pool, to ski trips together and then even as I changed from public to private school and then went away to college, our friendship has remained constant. From heartbreak to love, life has taken us through NJ and NY. I love them and could never see them not standing next to me as I marry the love of my life.
Grace and Carrie Callahan
Bridesmaid
Even though we were in the same grade, we are a full year and 15 days apart, I am their third twin. Grace and Carrie are my friends from highschool where we started out not liking each other and then sophmore year lacrosse came around and the rest of our friendship is history. Grace and I went to Rowan together and even though we ran in different friend groups in college our friendship was always there. As I transferred to Culinary school, we drifted apart but one random day, we decided to meet up a few years later at a diner Carrie worked at in New Hope NJ, and have been close since that day. Grace and Carrie have been there for me through all the good and the bad that life has to offer since 2010. It means so much to me that they said yes to standing by my side as I take the next step in marrying the love of my life.
Emily Guidera
Bridesmaid
Emily is my roommate from attending Rowan University freshman year. It all started with a Rowan University facebook group page on who was looking for roommates. I came across Emily’s page and decided to message her if she wanted to be roommates and well… the rest is absolute history. Emily and I both had a little too much fun our freshman year together, that we both actually left Rowan University after our first year & made different career choices. We stayed in touch, but lost touch and as we got older we found our friendship meeting again. Emily is the ying to my yang. Even though we can go months without seeing each other, we talk at least once a day to every other day. With us both being engaged, it is so nice to have a friend to wedding plan with, shoot the shit of life with, and we have been rooting for each other since 2013. I couldn’t imagine her not standing next to me as I enter into the next phase of my life.
