Almost 'Today Throws a Wedding' Day

Posted: Friday, May 29, 2009 11:47 AM by Ryan Osborn

UPDATE: We announced the wedding couples competing in the series this year. Though Stephanie and Ryan weren't picked, just wanted to say thank you to them for applying. You clearly have some great friends and family. Thanks for being so much fun. Wish you the best of luck and hope to keep in touch.

________________________________________________________

You will get to meet this years' wedding couples next Wednesday, June 3rd.

While our team of producers who are working on the series aren't giving any clues about who made the cut, one couple who applied has taken to the web in hopes of getting our attention.

Ryan Hupfer and Stephanie Marnitz are self-described "dorks in public" and the couple posted the following video on YouTube.

They even have a theme song (at 1:48 in video below).

Hup and Steph are 2 of the most amazing people I know. It seems only fitting that they get married on the Today show.

Ohhh Steph you crack me up! Still the same crazy person you were in high school. Too bad you didn't make it! I have a feeling that your wedding will be amazing anyways!!

I love Hup and Steph! Such a great couple! It's too bad that they had to leave Indy for Cali, but I would have done the same thing, lol. Good luck guys, you deserve it!

Woot woot! Hup and Steph, one word: personality. Today Show is the BEST fit for their wedding, no doubt about it!

Shannon, Little Rock, AR (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 2:44 PM)

Hup and Steph are two amazing people who totally deserve to get married on the Today Show. Today, you'd be missing out on a completely hysterical couple if you don't pick them!!! :)

Kylie, Indiana (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 2:46 PM)

Pick up Hup & Steph!! They are really awesome people. We had a blast when I took them to the Poison Concert in the Chicken Limo. They are so nice and have great personalies. I can't wait to take them out in the ultimate party fowl again for their wedding! Not only does the Chicken Limo spread joy by making people smile but also can help people fall in love :) www.chickenlimo.com 866-64-CLUCK

I remember when you first told me about hanging out with "this Hup guy," Steph. I'm so happy you guys are getting married! Your special day should be just as epic as the rest of your lives together... As always, I can't wait to see what happens NEXT!

Israel Peck, Notre Dame, IN (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 2:58 PM)

If anyone is right for the Today Show it's these two. PICK THEM!

Nick, Indy (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 3:45 PM)

Clearly two of the craziest people you'll ever meet! The Today show couldn't find a more deserving couple!!

Regina, Fishers, Ind. (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 3:56 PM)

These two are awesome and they would be a great choice to get married on the Today Show. Chicken Limo first date, are you kidding me? Who does that? Haha.

Scott, Indianapolis, Indiana (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 5:10 PM)

I'm going to be mad I already paid for a bridesmaid dress if you 2 get picked for this. :)

Angie Hupfer (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 5:32 PM)

I was there in the Chicken Limo with Hup when he met Steph and it truly was love at first sight!

Zack Legend, Indianapolis, IN (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 7:06 PM)

remember those super awesome people you always wanted to be friends with when you were a teenager? the ones you deemed your lame self unworthy of even getting to talk to? hup and steph are those people, but they actually let you hang out :)

today show, you have been invited. come join the fun.

maria, palo alto, ca (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 7:12 PM)

Pick them, then nobody has to pay for the wedding.

Dad, Cypress, Texas (Sent Friday, May 29, 2009 8:18 PM)

This is definitely a couple that should win this! I know Hup a little, I have never met Steph, but I follow their blog (I'm a little addicted)! They just seem to have the perfect and fun relationship which is exactly what I think you should look for in a couple to get married on the Today Show! They would make it so much fun and exciting! Good Luck Guys!!

I have known steph since 2nd grade & will be the MOH in her wedding (holla!) & I absolutely can not think of a more suitable man than ryan for her. I love you two...you two will totally win this...I mean, this would NOT be a surpriseto anyone who knows either of you!!!

Erin Smith, Cold Spring, KY (Sent Saturday, May 30, 2009 1:49 PM)

Pick Hup & Steph & you won't be sorry!!

Mara Warren, Fortville, IN (Sent Saturday, May 30, 2009 7:56 PM)

Hup and Steph deserve this! Please pick them!

Leslie, Madison, WI (Sent Saturday, May 30, 2009 10:58 PM)

Hup'nSteph is such an A-MA-ZING couple and I had the honor to take their engagement shots (http://tinyurl.com/HCreatives). What an adventure that was...in fact, EVERYTHING about these two is an adventure - we even met by chance at IKEA, for goodness sakes (read it in their blog). A wedding on the TODAY's show definitely fits them! B-)
