Stephan & Jamie
Wedding Party
Kirstie Jenkins
Matron of Honor
Kirstie and I have been best friends for over 25 years. We met at Mangum Primary School and road the bus home every afternoon together to our neighborhood, Hardscrabble where we always got into shenanigans with our other friends Danielle and Mandi. We called our girl gang the four blind mice. Favorite memories include being wild teenagers together, road tripping to each other's colleges, and always knowing when I come back home to Durham I get to see my best friend! I love that Kirstie has been by my side all these years and I can't wait for her to be my Matron of Honor!
Jason Whiteside
Best Man
Jason and I have been best bros for as long as he can remember. We've always had a very competitive nature. Always striving to be better than one another in all ways. This made us grow together in a lot of ways, whether it be our amazing ping pong skills or fun while gaming. We've seen each other grow and become the men we are today. I'm thankful to always have him to bounce ideas off of. I am honored to call Jason my best man!
Amanda Smith
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I met in St Thomas both while working at All Saints Cathedral School. We became best friends quickly because we both loved traveling and since our friendship began 8 years ago, we've traveled to Puerto Rico, Paris, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Bahrain together! Amanda lives overseas in Thailand now, but we still talk every single day and whenever we get back together our friendship takes off right where we left it!
Jason Darden
Groomsman
Jason and I met during our time working at Dinghy's. Our friendship was instant and effortless. Whether we were running around causing trouble on St. Thomas or sitting around playing Gin at the bar we were always laughing and having good time. Jason has become one of my best friends over the years! I'm excited to have his support on the big day!
Leah Mandichak
Bridesmaid
Leah and I also met working at All Saints Cathedral School in St Thomas. We also love traveling together and have been to Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and Spain. Now that Jamie lives in St Petersburg, Leah's family is right up the street and they will still get to visit each other often. Leah is the kindest person and has such a big heart. Jamie is so lucky to have her as a best friend and bridesmaid!
Timothy Wallace
Groomsman
Tim and I also me while we were working at Dinghy's. We have always had a good time together, but we really connected when he heard I was going to Melbourne, Australia. Tim has extensive experience in South East Asia and gave me a ton of travel tips on how I could get there from Melbourne. Due to all of his thoughts and ideas it really made for a one of a kind trip. We recently did a road trip from Florida to Texas and it was great having him as a road trip buddy! I'm happy to have him as a groomsman!
