Meet The Homies

Justin David Stern

Ring Bearer

Our handsome little man turned 2 here in April of this year and is the light of our life! He looks just like daddy, but has a lot of mom's personality and growing up way too fast! Make sure to say hi and give him a big high five when you see him :-) We can hardly wait for him to be a part of our big day! Love you, my baby boy!

Kylie Jo Stern

Flower Girl

Our sweet, smart, sassy, and wonderful niece will be dazzling up the aisle with petals. She's Justin's partner in crime and always teaching him something new (naught or nice). We are so blessed to have this little lady in our lives and in our special day!

Breena Dragony

Flower Girl

My little cousin, miss sunshine sweetie pants over here, has always held a special place in my heart (well, they all do heehee). Ever since she was just a little little one we would play. Now that I've had Justin, she just loves him! Such a beautiful, talented, and spunky girl. She's going to do such big things, just you see! Thank you Breena ~from the bottom of our hearts~!

Destiney Bolden

Super-Duper Rockstar Helper

Personal Attendant just wasn't a good enough title for this one! When I moved up North, I was lucky enough to have met my beautiful friend Destiney. We connected really quickly and I soon realized she was a friend I just needed to have! She's always there for me, whether it be in person supporting whatever the hell it is I'm doing, or if just a quick text to pick me up. She's just a joy to be around, and I'm so happy that this woman is someone so close to my heart! She's a Taurus too, so. Like, yeah.. She's a perfect pick to keep my big day a rockin' and a rollin'!! Thank you Destiney, for not only helping me out whenever you can, but for being such an amazing friend and auntie!! Me and J Bird love you!

Patricia Blackmun-Bakula

Mother of the Groom

Dan Blackmun

Bonus Father of the Groom

Kim Greskowiak

Mother of the Bride

She's my mother, best friend, mentor, comfort, and light! How lucky am I to have such a beautiful and loving mother?! She's a fantastic Grandmum too, of course. 29 years married to my father-- teach me your secrets! Thank you for everything, momma!

Brad Greskowiak

Father of the Bride

My protector, advisor, number one fan, and of course: friend. He has taught me how to stand on my own, and has always caught me when I've tried and failed. Thank you, dad, for showing us what it means to be honest, hard working, generous, and devoted to family! You're amazing and I can't wait for you to walk me down the aisle-- Don't worry, I'll always be your little girl.

Heavin Aikey

Matron of Honor

We are cousins with a lifetime of treasured memories. From family get-togethers and spending weeks with each other during the summer, through my cancer journey, and living together through some college days (gotta love your early 20's, am I right?!), and definitely all that karaoke... God sure did good by making us cousins, hey?? You have never thought twice when it comes to being a shoulder to lean on, a slap back to reality, or a hand to help when I need you. I love you so much, lady!! Thank you for everything! I can’t imagine getting married without you by my side. Actually, I can’t imagine getting through LIFE without you by my side. Love you always :-)

Regina Greskowiak

Bridesmaid

My beautiful sister, my life long friend, my partner in crime throughout our awesome childhood. Regina has always been the type to lend a hand, a prayer, or a laugh whenever someone is in need, and has been teaching me new things all my life. Whether it was how to be the best at anything Nintendo 64, to life lessons like compassion and positivity. To trust God when nothing seems to be the right way, and that life is meant to be FUN and filled with art. I love you sissy, thank you for being you and for standing beside me on not just my wedding day, but everyday. We love you, Auntie Gina!!

Julia Greskowiak

Bridesmaid

My baby sister isn't so "baby sister" these days! She's bloomed into this absolutely beautiful person with a soul so bright it could blind you! Being 8 years younger than me, she's always been by my side (I seriously couldn't get enough of my little baby sister) and now that we're older it's inexplainable the love I hold for her! Julia, you are so empathetic, understanding, and funny, I love being around you as much as I did when you were just a little squirt. I am so beyond happy to have you stand next to me on one of the biggest days of my life. We love you, "Auntie Julia"!!

Erin Jacob

Bridesmaid

We have been friends for over 10+ crazy, beautiful years. Our friendship is stronger than ever and I am so grateful that I’ve been able to share so much of my life with this beautiful human! From Girl Scout camps and middle school madness to heart breaks and the labyrinth we call “adulthood”. I am beyond blessed to have a friend like you, Erin. I can call you any time with anything and you’ll answer. (I mean we FaceTime every day, but you know what I mean) You’re just always there for me and love David and Justin like you’re own family. I’m so happy you’re standing by me on my wedding day. We’ve been talking about this since 2007 and we made it to this chapter of our lives together despite what we’ve been through. I love you more than words can say, Erin!

Riley Grunzke

Bridesmaid

Where do I even begin with this one?? I don't remember how it came up, but the other day I was explaining to David how we met. Choir I think? Advisory? It was ninth grade, circa 2009-- and we became friends almost immediately. It was a very "soul sister" type kindle. From school dances to sleepovers, to choir concerts and assemblies. It was you and me! Our last names, Grunzke and Greskowiak, really paired us up a lot throughout school-- how awesome is that?? Like, would we have not met had my name been Kreskowiak?! Anyways, I am so fortunate to have you as a friend. You're always so real with me. When you love.... you love HARD. I can't wait to see where the next 12 years take us. Thank you for joining me on my special day! I love you, RMoney$

Valencia Roybal

Bridesmaid

One of the world’s best! I gained a bonus best friend when I met David. He’s known her for many years, and introduced us. She has a little boy (whom I call Carter bean) only a month younger than Justin— so we’ve really shared a lot of life with each other so far. I can always lean on Valencia when I need someone to just listen and be there! She’s a quiet one at first, but once you get that cage open she’s a real hoot and a half. I love you so much, my friend! Thank you for standing with not only me, but David. He cares for you so very much and we are so lucky to have you! Thank you for welcoming me into your guys’ life 💖

Hailey McFarlane

Bridesmaid

13 beautiful years of friendship shared with Ms. Hailey Mae 🌸💗 What a beautiful thing to have someone you can count on no matter how long it’s been since you’ve last seen each other. Hailey is that friend. Maybe it’s a soul sister thing? Hailey has a fighting fire burning inside of her, something that most people don’t ever develop. She’s the nicest, most beautiful, deep, intellectual, and essential human being ever! What a gift to the world, seriously, is Hailey McFarlane. She’s in the middle of making a fantastic move to California, and making the time (and energy) to stand by me on my wedding day— how lucky am I to have such a friend. I miss being young with you, but continue to cherish and look forward to our futures. I love you so much, thank you for loving me like you do 💗

Amanda Stern

Bridesmaid

I am so lucky to be gaining another sister! Amanda, you are so kind to me and love me as if we’ve been sisters for our whole lives. I admire your strength and fire, your ability to overcome struggles and enjoy life’s blessings. You’re a wonderful human, and an even more wonderful addition to my heart. Thank you for being so welcoming of me and standing by us on our big day! I love you 💖
