Wedding Party
Stephanie Pauwels
Bridesmaid
Andrew and Ellie met Stephanie in Comic Book Club at Loyola University Chicago in 2014. Stephanie can be found inspiring the future leaders of tomorrow (she's an elementary school teacher) or baking a delicious, but complicated, recipe with ease! While living in Illinois and D.C., respectively, Stephanie and Ellie call weekly where they discuss their love of food, musical theater, Stephanie’s cat Wally, and being awkward in social situations.
Christos Kapsalis
Bridesman
Christos and Andrew met in 6th grade math class. They attended law school together, and now work together in Washington D.C. Ever since moving to D.C., Christos and Ellie have become fast friends - bonding through weekly "Sunday Funday" activities and movie nights on Thursdays.
Ryan Nolan
Groomsman
Ryan and Andrew met on the high school swim team, where they shared the slowest lane on the junior varsity team. They bonded over movies, comic books, and generally being silly. Ryan now lives in Kansas, but he has stayed close with Andrew and Ellie, and they still enjoy eating and watching bad movies together.
Rob Haberman
Groomsman
Rob is Andrew's brother, so they have known each other for all of Andrew's life. Andrew has looked up to Rob throughout his life, even copying his long hair (they both had it before it was cool) and high school swim/water polo affiliation. These days Rob can be found gallivanting across the country with rock bands, or playing sports video games with Andrew when he is home. Rob has yet to defeat Andrew in their many years competing.
