Jessica & Steve
Wedding Party
Jessica Varughese
Bride
Just a girl excited to marry her #1 fan.
Steve Varghese
Groom
Just a guy excited to marry his #1 fan.
Jocelyn Varughese
Maid of Honor
I am the bride’s younger sister. My favorite memory with Chechi (my sister) is hanging out with her in the basement during Covid, and doing a lot of fun things like makeup or weird dances for Spanish class.
Spencer Lindgren
Best Man
I was blessed to meet the groom during Organic Chemistry Lab in Pharmacy school. He would always ask Nathan and me what to do next. The actual conversations started when we began having lunch together the following year and the rest is history. It is difficult to pinpoint my favorite memory with Steve, but I would say being able to live together for almost four years was the foundation of the memories. The combination of hours playing Smash Bros, dollars spent at restaurants, and countless heart to heart conversations are quality memories that are the roots of our friendship.

Bridesmaid
I am Jessica’s hilarious cousin. I have known her since the day I was born. From playing Marco Polo in our basements to dancing like crazy in Just Dance, we have always had so much fun together. My favorite memory with the bride is when we would have sleepovers. We would use sheets to make into saris, play charades, and always end the night by sharing what we would want our dreams to be. Jessica is one of the most beautiful people you’ll ever meet. She’ll light up your life like she lights up the dance floor!

I’ve known Steve for nearly my whole life. From growing up in the same church to eventually going to the same middle and high schools, I’ve got to see Steve grow into the wonderful man he is today. My favorite memory with him has to be our childhood Christian action song duets, embarrassing ourselves with subpar moves and even worse singing.
Jeena Thomas
Bridesmaid
I’m Jess’s close friend from church. I’ve known her for over 10 years, and I’m basically the unofficial adopted third sister in the Varughese’s house. My favorite memory with the bride was my Indiana trip in December 2023! Loved every moment of it. Enjoyed spending 3 days with Jessica and every normal and mundane thing we did was way too much fun. She would pray over me countless times throughout our friendship which has been a major love language.

I've known Steve my entire life—being first cousins, we've shared countless memories and grew up side by side. One of my favorite stories has to be when he created his very own energy drink, ‘Stevorade.’ It was a mix of Gatorade, Powerade, and Sprite, and he thought it was the perfect combination. To this day, I still laugh thinking about how convinced he was that it was the next big thing! Watching him grow into the incredible person he is today has been a privilege, and I’m beyond honored to stand by his side as he embarks on this next chapter.
Morgan Campbell
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I are roommates. My favorite memory with her is when we hosted game nights at our apartment and laughed a lot.
Kirill Schoellman
Groomsman
Steve and I got to know each other well when neither one of us really ever paid attention in class. Sharing memes and funny videos was always way more fun. We then would grab sushi on almost a daily basis at the school cafeteria and started to bond even more. My all-time favorite memory of Steve always came on test days. Everyone spent days studying for exams, but Steve would open his notes for the first time 20 minutes before the exam and somehow he would still pass them! His famous words “I like to live a stress free life” will always stick with me. Watching him grow into the person he is today with Jess has been such a blessing and I wish them a lifetime full of happiness.
Faven Parker
Bridesmaid
I’ve been roommates with Jess the past couple years. My favorite memory would be anytime we can share a laugh.
Connor Miller
Groomsman
I was a Butler Pharmacy classmate with Steve, and he became a close friend after starting the same job together. A favorite memory is going on a double date and playing board games with him and Jess, or playing games with Steve on break at work (I could never beat him in Chess!).
Paije Jones
Bridesmaid
I met the bride back in college hanging out with some mutual friends and I believe it all started when Jessica asked “Hey do you guys wanna come hang out at my place?” My favorite memories with the bride was always having deep discussions late at night and there was one night where she made me brownies even though it was 5am.
Nathan Weller
Groomsman
Steve and I have known each other since our early college days, when we were both just trying to make it out of organic chemistry lab alive. We braved that together and have since built an amazing friendship with many laughs and great memories along the way. Some of my favorite memories with Steve come from our time rooming together in college and the many game nights we had with friends.
Alexys Watkins
Bridesmaid
I met Jess in college. We had practicum together and grew closer from there. My favorite memory would have to be our late night conversations.
Sean Thomas
Groomsman
Hello, I’m Steve’s cousin. I’ve known Steve since birth, and we’ve always been close. We have been brothers since day one. One of my favorite memories is when my brother, Steve, and I would hang out, play basketball, or pretend to be WWE wrestlers and fight each other.
