Wedding Party

Sydney Helphenstine

Maid of Honor

Sydney has been one of Sam’s childhood best friends since the time that they were 3yrs old and living on the same street. Growing up they were always mistaken for sisters and have been inseparable since. Even with Sydney living all the way in Washington D.C., they both have always kept in touch with their passions for fashion and eyes for design. There is no one better for the job of Maid of Honor than Sydney and her creative touch.

Sabrina Sabol

Maid of Honor

Brina is Sam’s younger sister who loves to dance and listen to music. There is no doubt that she will be leading the party on the dance floor. Sam is so thrilled to have her only sibling next to her on this special day and to give some laughs!

Cam Stephens

Best Man

Cam is the middle Stephens brother and lives in Shepherdstown, WV where he plays basketball at Shepherd University. Like his other brothers, basketball was his first love. Growing up, I’m sure they would all say their favorite memories were playing ball anywhere their mom would let them! RJ always knew when it came to deciding on a Best Man, Cam was the man for the job, but not the only man…

Jake Stephens

Best Man

The youngest of the Stephens brothers, Jake is currently playing basketball at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, VA. Growing up, RJ and Jake didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but their mom and dad were right, someday they’d be best friends. Now, Jake and Cam can both be that for RJ: his best friends.

Lindzey Bowers

Bridesmaid

Lindzey is Sam’s older cousin who lives in Ohio with her husband and their 2yr old son. Lindzey has always been a person who Sam looked up to. From getting her hand-me-down clothes and shoes when growing up, to starting a family. Sam and Lindzey have always bonded over shopping and shoes being the only "girly" cousins in the family.

Yasir Mohamed

Groomsman

Yasir and RJ met through a mutual friend in college at WVU. They grew close playing basketball at the Rec Center and going to football games. He lived with RJ for a short time, but they have always stayed close and even followed RJ and Sam to Pittsburgh. Yasir is a special friend to both the bride and groom and guarantees to be blast at the wedding!

Julianna Smith

Bridesmaid

Julianna and Sam met in Kindergarten and we’re locker/cubby buddies. With Julianna growing up across the road from Sam, they were inseparable. Julianna has always had a kind heart and the best sense of humor. She has always been there for Sam and helping her out in any way she could. She is definitely a part of Sam’s family.

Tommy Hargroves

Groomsman

Tommy moved across the street from RJ when they were in third grade and it’s a move they both are thankful for. From teammates to best friends, they have done so much together through the years. It’s only right Tommy is beside RJ when he gets married!

Alyssa Stansbury

Bridesmaid

Alyssa and Sam knew each other through Elementary school, Middle school and High school, however they always thought they disliked one another. It wasn’t until after Cheerleading in High school that Sam and Alyssa became very close friends and ended up working together. Through good times and bad they have always been closest friends.
