Ryan Mcglinn

I met Steve in high school after being introduced by another fellow groomsman, Kevin Quinn. Since then, we’ve made countless memories together that will last a lifetime. I couldn’t be more honored to stand by his side as his best man while he marries the love of his life.

Erica Appel

Maid of Honor

Marissa is my sister! We are 5 years apart and I am so lucky to have had the pleasure to watch her grow into a beautiful young woman. Marissa always had big plans and dreams … as a YouTube Star ( peace love and happiness) , but life takes us in many places and I’m so happy she found a career she adores and excels in! Finding a partner like Steven, who not only shares similarities in the workplace but also day to day like is very rare and a beautiful thing. Steven definitely is the lid to my sisters pot! I met Steven at my home in New Jersey on my Dads Birthday! After a little friendly fire, we immediately became BEST FRIENDS. I’m so happy for Marissa and Steven, i wish you both an abundance of love, laughter and happiness for the years to come! Love you both!

Eddy Appel

Groomsman

Marissa is my sister! One of the best memories I have of mawissa is when she would wake up early with her night gown on and run down the basement to play Mario cart and Mario baseball on the Wii with me maria and Michael! I met Steven through a conversation I over heard when he drank my dad’s fig vodka.

Michael Appel

Groomsman

I’m Marissa’s triplet brother and I met Steve for the first time in Marissa’s dorm room after a long weekend with a freezer full of 99 shots. I can’t wait to see how Steven and Marissa celebrate after they tie the knot!

John Lawlor

Groomsman

It was spring of the great year of 2012 in State College, PA (Go PSU!) when I was fortunate enough to meet Steve in a seedy frat house we would later call “home”. Steve was friends with two guys I pledged with and when we were introduced to each other we were amazed we hadn’t met before then given we lived so close and both had a love for William Penn Inn’s fine dining. Later, Steve was dumb enough to agree to pledge that same seedy frat and let me haze him all in good fun. And the rest is history! I’m lucky to call Steve one of my best friends today and love the time I get to spend with him and Marissa, usually at a PJ Wheelihan’s

Kevin Quinn

Groomsman

I met Steve in high school and we’ve been best friends ever since. We’ve had lots of great times together over the years and I’m sure there are plenty more to come. I wish Steve and Marissa the best of luck as they start the rest of their lives together!

On my first day at Usciences in 2019 we went around the room to introduce ourselves. After class Marissa came to tell me that we went to the same community college. From that moment on we’ve been BPF (best pharmacy friends)!

Matt Rutz

Groomsman

I met Steve in first grade when my Aunt and Uncle moved in across the street from his family. Since then, we’ve gone to high school together and taken multiple vacations together. I’m looking forward to being a part of the next chapter of his and Marissa’s life!

Dolan Henrikson

Groomsman

I met Marissa after coming to New Jersey for the first time with Erica to Celebrate Big Ed's 60th Birthday! I knew you guys were family after how comfortable you made me in your own home & I couldn't be happier to call you my sister or to have you as Amelia's Godmother. I also got to meet Steven during that trip and bonded over shots after a crazy night hahaha The best memory I have with Steven is waking up early in Hawaii getting first in line at the bar and belly dancing after a great morning cocktail! You both compliment eachother so well & I can't wait to see what the future holds for you both, Love you guys!

Mark Burgoyne

I met Steve in high school and ever since we’ve had fun playing video games, hitting bars, and a lot more. Can’t wait for Steve and Marissa to seal the deal!

I met Steven when I was born! He is my older brother and he has looked out for me all my life. I met marissa on her 21st birthday in Atlantic City and I knew after that first day that he had someone special! I’m so blessed to welcome her into my family.

I met Marissa in 2020 through a mutual friend in our pharmacy class on zoom university. Even though I had never met Marissa in person, I would still talk to her every single day. We became fast friends through a computer screen. When we finally met in person, we were still closer than ever. I'm so excited to be a part of Marissa's big day!

Marissa and I met at acme pharmacy on rotations. I was assigned to go in on Monday’s and she was assigned on Wednesday’s, but one week I came in on a Wednesday and we’ve been bestfriends ever since! I met Steven through Marissa and honestly he deserves half of my pharmacy degree :) Cant wait to celebrate this beautiful couple !

Layla Sakr

I met marissa in college when we were assigned to a group together and the first thing she said to me was “don’t even worry I have all the answers to the homework” and ever since then I knew i had to keep her around!  Congratulations Marissa and Steven-the pharmacy power couple!!

Madison Storey

Bridesmaid

I met Marissa and Steven by dating Marissa's older brother Eddy. I met both of them after only having a few dates with Eddy and I knew instantly that Marissa would be my forever friend. She is the sister I always wish I had growing up.

Max Drennen

Ring Bearer

I met Marissa when my family and I were fortunate enough to move next-door. I have been lucky to spend time with her and her amazing parents and siblings enjoying their Disney memorabilia and their impressive collection of stuffed Plutos. They always have great snacks are incredibly kind and seem to think I’m funny. She has known me since I was a baby, and since I’m five now, I’m basically a grown-up. I met Steven after they got engaged, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of their special day
