Congratulations, Stephanie & Eric!

Stephanie Grace Nesslein and Eric McLean Wingbermuehle were united in matrimony on June 17th at St. Francis Xavier College Church in St. Louis, Missouri. The bride is the daughter of Drs. Susan and Gary Nesslein of Prairie Village, Kansas. Stephanie is the granddaughter of the late Helen and Dr. S. George Laing and the late Cleta and Cletus Nesslein. Her groom is the son of Pamela and Bryan Wingbermuehle of Des Peres, Missouri. Eric is the grandson of the late Mary Jane and Edwin McLean and the late Marjorie and Terrance Wingbermuehle.

The evening of June 16th, the groom’s parents feted the couple with a delightful rehearsal dinner at The Whittemore House at Washington University. Following the ceremony, the bride’s parents hosted a gorgeous reception at The Missouri Athletic Club Ballroom in downtown St. Louis, where the jubilant couple donned new outfits for the stunning party. Samantha Nesslein, sister of the bride, served as the maid of honor, and Jamie Hudson served as the best man. 

Following a honeymoon in St. Lucia, the couple is at home in Overland Park, Kansas, where Stephanie is employed with Markets Group out of New York City, and Eric is employed with Urban SDK, out of Jacksonville, Florida.
