Wedding Party
Trisha Ricciardi
Maid of Honor
Trisha is Amanda's sister and best friend! She is the funniest person Amanda has ever met and they would spend every day thrifting & going to new coffee shops together if they could. Trisha and her husband Elijah got married last year and Amanda caught the bouquet at her wedding (it's meant to be)!
Sebastian Benitez
Best Man
Sebastian, also known as Beni, has been Max's friend since college. Even though they went to the same high school, their paths didn't cross until Max entered the friend group after graduation. Beni and Max had so many similarities from both becoming teachers, their love for pokemon, and bringin the same energy when together. That bond has continued, even when Max left for Colorado.
Hadley Rebik
Bridesmaid
Hadley and Amanda both needed a roommate at the same time and ended up becoming best friends (crazy story, you should ask them about it sometime). They enjoy snowboarding, planning fall parties, and convincing their friends to go on trips together.
Kyle Rebik
Groomsman
Kyle and Max first met in Florida, when Kyle was on a work trip and they went to dinner with their mutual friend, Jeff. A few years later, Kyle helped Max get a internship and job at Steamboat Christian Center. Kyle wasn't just a boss, but also an amazing friend. He taught Max about wakeboarding, snowboarding, himself and much more. They've been on so many adventures from Montana to New Mexico, and have been to almost every sporting event in Colorado together.
Adele Williams
Bridesmaid
Adele and Amanda grew up in the same town but didn't become friends until they were randomly on the same hall in college! Now their families are like family and they survive living in different cities by sending each other 15-minute-long voice memos.
Johann Cordero
Groomsman
Johann has known Max since their Sophmore year of high school. Having the same PE class helped start their friendship, which grew from having the same taste of 90s music and more. But the turning point was Max helping Johann find his phone in a lake. After that, Johann included Max into many friend groups and always supported his goals.
Allison Kinneberg
Bridesmaid
Allison and Mandy met in 6th grade P.E. class and have been friends ever since. They've seen Taylor Swift together twice, love trying new brunch places, and playing with Allison's cat Bunny. And every time they go hiking together something crazy happens...
Victor Contreras
Groomsman
Victor and Max's friendship all happened because of Johann. The more they hung out with each other the more they realized they had in common (one thing being their love for Spiderman). Victor is always down to book a flight to see Max in Colorado and snowboard down the mountain!
Melissa Coventry
Bridesmaid
Melissa and Mandy have been friends since 8th grade Spanish class where they bonded over their love for One Direction. From prom to Taylor Swift concerts to weddings, they been there to support each other through it all!
Nico Ramirez
Groomsman
Nico actually met Max freshman year of high school, but was annoyed with him because he was loud and talked too much. But after they both enrolled in college and had the same class, things got better. Nico introduced Max to Swedish House Mafia and house music. They bonded through one thing in football, their love for Aaron Rodgers. Max is still waiting for Nico to take him to Funky Town.
Annelise Enlow
Bridesmaid
Annelise and Amanda were next door neighbors when they were two years old! They stayed in touch by writing letters, even when they lived on different continents and always visit when they move somewhere new. She is Amanda's longest friend and the Shrader's are like a second family.
Mauricio Coello
Groomsman
Mauricio is actually Max's longest friend in the party! They met their freshman year of high school and stayed in the same classes throughout the years. Mauricio has also visited Max the most since moving to Colorado. From 1 am workouts to snowboarding to just random shenanigans they do with the boys, they always stood by each other.
Claire Blanchard
Bridesmaid
Amanda was Claire's RA in college (lol) but that didn't stop them from becoming best friends. They bonded over music, movie nights, and their love for planning activities with their friends. Now they get to support each other following their dreams and making big life moves!
Bailey Meyer
Groomsman
Bailey was Max's first roommate. They came into each other's lives when they moved to Colorado a week apart. Living in the house together not only grew Max's faith background, but also his silly side. Bailey always says yes to plans, helped Max be organized, and has been supportive in every aspect of Max's life. Max enjoys being with Bailey as they both go through wedding planning together.
Stephanie Oliveira
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Amanda have been friends since 5th grade! They have seen each other through all the milestones of high school, college, first jobs, and weddings. They love doing outdoor activities together, both in VA & CO.
Oney Leon
Groomsman
Oney and Max met in their local youth group. Going on a church retreat bonded them even more. As well as both being kind and thoughtful people to everyone they meet, Oney was always behind-the-scenes in Max's life through both happy, sad, and sometimes wild moments. Even when seperated, just one phone call would always bring back the memories they had over the years.
Celia A., Kelsey B., Chloe F.
Wildflowers
Celia, Kelsey, Chloe and Amanda met working in Zion National Park in 2020. A summer that changed their lives and bonded them forever! They've travelled all over the country (and even the world) to visit each other and share a mutual love for the outdoors and Swig.
