Wedding Party
Brigid Redmond
Matron of Honor
Brigid and Stephanie lived together for pretty much all 4 years of college. During their first night out freshmen year at Saint Joe’s Steph threw up in a plant pot and lost her shoes - Brigid said she’d never hang out with that girl again.
Jim Wanner
Best Man
Jim, best know as Juice is hailing from Conshohocken. He is always down to crush BL’s before noon. During his younger years, he was good for getting into brawls at CYO basketball games.
Ellie Paparone
Bridesmaid
Before Ellie and Steph met someone said to them, you will either love each other or hate each other. Thankfully it was the former. They share the same sense of humor, meaning, when Ellie says a joke, Steph repeats it, but only louder, taking all of the credit.
Brad Wanner
Best Man
Brad, best known as Cub is hailing from Conshohocken. He is always down to catch a dub and then run it back again!
Julia Bjorling
Bridesmaid
If you know Steph, you know her favorite question during a night out is, “should we get one more drink?” Everyone needs that one friend who will always say yes. That’s Julia. Everyone also needs that one friend that wakes you up to a text the night after drinking saying, “hey, is anyone mad at me?” That, too, is Julia.
Shane Giongo
Groomsman
Hailing from Conshohocken, Shane and Dan’s friendship started when Shane struck Dan out to win the little league championship. He also has a low key Four Loko addiction and is pushing for them to be served at the reception.
Kerry DiNardo
Bridesmaid
One time Kerry & Stephanie made a pact that they would only marry someone who made them laugh as hard as they made each other laugh. That was a tough moment in life when they realized that as you get older, you have to let some dreams go.
John Mancini
Groomsman
Hailing from Conshohocken, John is an electrician and ready to light up your life and potentially the dance floor. If you are looking for the plug on some new shoes, he is also your guy.
Rita Frau
Bridesmaid
Rita lived with Stephanie post college in what some may say are the most formative years of young adulthood. They called their house The Troll Playhouse because no men seemed to be interested in them during this time. We are thrilled to report that Rita is now happily married and the days of crying after Hinge dates is behind her.
Brad Himelfarb
Groomsman
Known ONLY as The TowBoss, he is hailing from Pimmit Hills, VA. He has towed 5 vehicles before breakfast and is ready to pick you up!
Valerie Mattia
Bridesmaid
Val was assigned to the same team as Stephanie for a group project at their internship in college. At this internship Stephanie won a superlative for being a “Teachers Pet.” If Val could get through that season of life with Steph, it is clear that their friendship will stand the test of time.
Tom Alexander
Groomsman
You guessed it, also hailing from Conshohocken, Tommy can recite just about any Philadelphia sports statistic. He also has a second full time job at the local watering hole.
Kim Lovina
Bridesmaid
Believe it or not, Kim and Stephanie have known each other since 2010 when Kim was a senior and Stephanie was a freshman at Villa Joseph Marie. In 2016, they also took the same train together into the city for work with a silent knowledge of their acquaintance. They didn’t speak. At all. But they knew. It all seems serendipitous now that she is a Lovina.
Anthony Lovina
Man of Honor
Anthony hails from Langhorne and when he golfs, he leaves it all on the course. Sometimes even a club in the trees.
Addison Rose Lovina
Flower Girl
This wedding will be Addi’s first Flower Girl gig. While she is excited, we’re unsure if she truly understands what her duties are as she walks to the beat of her own drum. Her hobbies include putting bandaids all over her body and pretending she is a dog.
Brenna Anne Wanner
Flower Girl
The older of the two Flower Girls and while this is also Brenna’s first gig, we are confident that she will lead the way. She has been preparing for the big day by dressing up in princess dresses. She loves anything and everything Disney and you can likely find her in her pool or on her trampoline.
Cooper Clarke Lovina
Ring Bearer
Not sure what Cadillac Coop will bring to the table besides cuteness - only time will tell. But, we love you Cooper Sharp Cheesie!
Alex Bjorling
Officiant
Alex is not only our officiant, he is also our on-site doctor. Legend has it that in college, he didn’t like Steph because she made the shy people feel uncomfortable, but this is coming from a man who plays Dungeons and Dragons.
