Stephanie and Jeffrey

Stephanie Cochara and Jeffrey Criger August 30, 2008; King’s Way United Methodist Church, Millie’s Turn of the Century Café

Stephanie Cochara and Jeffrey Criger met in the fourth grade, when Jeffrey’s mom was Stephanie’s teacher. The two became friends and started dating during their freshman year in high school. Years later, Jeffrey proposed on a family float trip.

Stephanie is the daughter of Mike and Valerie Cochara, and Jeffrey is the son of Jack and Vanessa Criger. The two wedded at King’s Way United Methodist Church, with a reception at Millie’s Turn of the Century Café.

Stephanie’s maid of honor was sister Alyssa Cochara, and her bridesmaids were friends Toni Patterson and Jessica Locke. The best man was friend Brad Cunningham, and the groomsmen were cousins Tim Owens and Matt Owens. Former band teacher Mike David officiated.

Celebrations by Sonja prepared the wedding cake, and the food was catered by Millie’s. The bride bought her dress from David’s Bridal, and Shannon’s Floral made the floral arrangements of pink and orange roses.

Stephanie and Jeffrey spent their honeymoon at Rivera Maya, Mexico. Stephanie works as a vascular interventional technologist at St. John’s Health System, and Jeffrey is employed with 3M and Bass Pro Shops. The couple resides in Fordland.
