Stephanie & Steve
Wedding Party
Lauren Pohlman
Matron of Honor
Stephanie's older and only sister. Sometimes more alike than they care to think; they both went to USF and were not only sisters of AOII but president. They have always been close so it was no surprise that Stephanie was Lauren's maid of honor and Lauren is Stephanie's matron of honor.
Zac Carpenter

Steve is an only child and never had a brother, but after joining a fraternity and meeting Zac, he had the closest thing to it. Zac and Steve lived together for 3 years, in the SigEp house and an apartment. Steve and Zac share many shared passions such as fishing, gaming, SCUBA diving and snowboarding. Zac and Steve talk almost everyday and for 7 years they have been brothers.
