Julia & Samuel
Wedding Party
Samuel Sterrett
Groom
❧ Born in GA at 2 pounds 13 ounces, I am just as surprised as you are that I'm here! But look how far I've come! My first introduction to the Stiles family was way back in Middle School, where I met Ethan. I roomed with all 3 brothers at one point in time during college, and solidified my lasting relationships with them. Slowly, meticulously, methodically I have integrated myself into their family, until now they consider me one of their own! I may not have red hair or witty personality such as the 3 Stiles boys, but I do have an overflowing love for Julia. Every day she brings me joy, and I am so overjoyed to be marrying her. Thank you everyone for your wonderful support throughout my life, and especially for today. I love you all.
Julia Stiles
Bride
❧ Julia met Sam through her brothers and decided that he was a keeper! From the moment we became close, we were inseparable. In the past 7 years, we have gotten closer every day. I am grateful for all of the love and joy that has been brought into my life through Sam. From him being a huge support every day of my life, to the family that I have now gained through him. I am overjoyed to have such a wonderful person by my side through my life. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We love you all and are happy to celebrate this special occasion with you! ❧ Obsessed with her two kitties Freya and Idril! ❧ Has over 2000 hours in The Sims 4 ❧ Typically in a silly, goofy mood ❧ Julia is incredibly grateful for Sam's family and is happy to welcome them as her own!
Jacob Sterrett
Best Man
❧ Jacob has been Sam's brother for as long as he can remember. During their childhood, the brothers fought as brothers do, but slowly over time Sam has come to value Jacob as a critical piece in his life. Jacob may be a few hundred miles away in FL most of the time, enjoying the water and sun, but Sam knows that Jacob is only a phone call away for advice, confidence, and support. I am lucky to have Jacob as my brother and ecstatic that he can be my best man for the most important day of my life.
