Stephanie & Garrett
Wedding Party
Jerry Dripchak
Best Man
Gary's little brother. Gary and Jerry are basically the same person, which means Steph gets a brother who will play board games, go to taco bell, and tolerate her nerdiness. Despite being younger in age, Jerry has always been introducing Gary to new music, beer, and games. Jerry is Gary's favorite drinking buddy, and they don't let distance get in the way of playing video games together from the comfort of their own homes.
Katie Dripchak
Maid of Honor
Gary's little sister. Steph always wanted a sister, but never imagined she'd be THIS lucky and get an incredible best friend too. Steph and Katie have all the same hobbies, but especially enjoy napping together on the couch while the Office or Lord of the Rings is on TV. Also, wine. And food. Pork fried rice anyone?! One day they will make it to Harry Potter World and Toy Story Land together!
Liam Henry
Groomsman
Gary's best friend. Gary and Liam went to school together in Dumont, and were known to get in trouble together on more than one occasion. Despite a few ridiculous videos circulating on the internet, Steph agreed to date and marry Gary. Liam and Gary stayed best friends through college and their mutual love of beer, FOOTBALL, and video games means they'll be best friends for life. Liam is reported to know Gary better than Steph does, but Steph enjoys and is only slightly annoyed by their bromance.
Jessa Henry
Bridesmaid
Steph's best friend. Steph met Jessa in 2011 when they started going on double dates with Gary and Liam. Jessa and Steph immediately hit it off and became inseparable. Between frequent visits to Grant's, beer festivals, trips to Vegas, AC and Boston, Jessa became Steph's closest confidante. Now they routinely get together to enjoy their favorite activities: eating ramen, talking about eating ramen, and getting drunk at brunch.
Dan Schuster
Groomsman
Gary's best friend from college. Gary met Dan in 2007 when they both started Architecture courses at NJIT. Architecture is hard, but at least they suffered together. They soon became roommates and perfected an infamous taco bake recipe. Gary and Dan drink a little less now then they did back in college, but they still both share an interest in music, board games, and scotch.
Michelle Nunez
Bridesmaid
Steph's best friend from college. Michelle and Steph met in 2006 when they were lab partners in chemistry. They became roomates, quickly hit it off, and had an absolute blast at Rider (especially senior year -- let's go to Katmandu!). They took their infamous Eurotrip together back in 2013 which is still the best adventure Steph's ever had.
Charlie Joyce
Groomsman
Gary's childhood best friend. Charlie and Gary met when they were only 7 years old, but quickly became inseparable. They had a few ridiculous times in high school, but were only stopped by the cops once(?). There may or may not have been cardboard armor involved. Even though Charlie lives in LA now, every time he visits NJ it's like no time has passed at all. They still have the same humor, inside jokes, and shared love for absurd internet videos.
Alex Grote
Bridesmaid
Steph's best friend from grad school. Steph is convinced that she wouldn't have survived her PhD without Alex, who has been keeping her sane from the very beginning 5 and a half years ago. They immediately bonded over their mutual love of happy hour. Currently, they enjoy the occasional fancy cocktail and really love dance parties (where they usually end up on a stage together).
