Amanda & Colin
Wedding Party
Conor Yoskowitz
Best Man
Colin's brother and the only brother he's ever needed. They may have always had the sibling rivalry, but the love they share for each other is tremendous. We are so excited to have you standing with Colin today.
Effie Ford
Maid of Honor
Effie and Amanda have been friends since childhood. Through middle school, high school, and college- they've been through it all. Effie is the ultimate planner and partygoer. You will probably find her making sure that everyone is running on time and the DJ has the greatest playlist.
Jared Lopez
Groomsman
Amanda's youngest, not-so-little brother. He has become the new family favorite as he is the father of Amanda's niece Stella. He might have terrible taste in sports teams, but he's alright in Colin's book.
Catie Bland
Bridesmaid
One of Amanda's cousins that she grew up with. They spent years separated by several states and busy lives, but now she lives locally, and they are back to hanging out as they did during childhood.
Georgie Lopez
Groomsman
Amanda's also a not-so-little brother. Georgie has a love for all movies- new releases and the classics. He has made the request to wear a "black tuxedo" as he welcomes the opportunity to stand out in the crowd. You might find him at the reception actively avoiding his babbling niece Stella.
Dara Cohen
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Dara met during their sophomore year of college when they became sorority sisters. In their new member days, Dara was that friend who always made sure they maintained a packed social calendar. She is one of Amanda's favorite and most special friends from their time at FSU.
Brandon Polsky
Groomsman
One of Colin's oldest, dearest friends. You can see them at Panther's games, or actively avoiding x-acto knives. Colin and Brandon never found a car ride or cuban restaurant they didn't like.
Cory Gens
Bridesmaid
Cory and Amanda met when they were part of the same rush group (her maiden name is Lombardo, so you could say the alphabet brought them together) and then Fate had more in store. They became sorority sisters, studied abroad together, and have had countless other adventures. You can expect to see Cory busting a move on the dancefloor all night long!
Chris Yanes
Groomsman
Chris and Colin met when they became pledge brothers. One could say a wallet brought these two together, but not in the way you may think! You could find Colin trying to calm Chris down at Florida Gator Football games, or Chris rolling his eyes at Colin's terrible jokes.
Jennifer Fuchs
Bridesmaid
Jen and Amanda met on their first day of work. They locked eyes, knowing that they would be keeping each other sane for the next 5 years. They've laughed together, cried together, laughed until they cried together. As one of the kindest people Amanda knows, you will find Jen talking and making fast friends with everyone she meets.
Chris Louviere
Groomsman
Another one of Colin's pledge brothers and another Chris! He was Colin's preferred formal roommate of choice and every adventure together was memorable, to say the least. As Colin has put it, Chris is one of the few best things to come out of Jacksonville.
Sami Grizzle
Bridesmaid
Sami and Amanda are also friends since childhood. They liked each other so much, they went to middle school, high school, and college together! Sami and Colin met at Stetson Law and well, you can guess how all that turned out.
Leesa Marante
Bridesmaid
Leesa and Amanda were in the same major at FSU and then they became roommates in graduate school. They spent many late nights talking, drinking coffee, laminating therapy materials for their clients, and drinking more coffee. Leesa is an amazing SLP friend and an even more special forever kind of friend.
Sandito Santiago
Groomsman
One of Colin's college hockey teammates (and funny enough, a childhood friend of Amanda's)! Little did Amanda know that a prank video that Sandito showed her one winter break would be a glimpse of her future husband! Whatever you do, never ask him what the word "renegade" means to him (or Colin, for that matter).
Alexa Rocha
Bridesmaid
Alexa is Amanda's first best friend. They are the oldest of the tons of cousins in the family and spent an endless amount of time growing up together.
Carlos Garcia
Groomsman
One of Colin's best friends from high school. Every class they had together somehow turned into a comedy routine, though they were never actually the main reason why. No matter what it is, Colin could talk to Carlos for hours on end.
Lauren Salter
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Amanda met in elementary school. Their smarts brought them together but it was their complimentary personalities that had Amanda thinking "huh, this girl might be the Draco to my Ron" in the best way possible.
David Barrera
Groomsman
Colin and David met during their first weeks of law school, and have been the best of friends ever since. A somewhat spontaneous trip to visit their classmate led Colin to a certain Key West girl! A shared passion for cars and bad jokes powered those long days in the library together.
Maria Sandigo-Cruz
Bridesmaid
Maria was introduced to Amanda as Jared's other half some time ago, but it was clear that she was the better half. Her calm and compassionate nature brings so much peace to what some would see as a chaotic household. She is also so kind as to lend Amanda a shirt or dress whenever she is in need, which Jared NEVER did.
Phil Mendez
Groomsman
One of Colin's closest fraternity brothers outside of the infamous "Spring 12." They have shared endless memories during and after college. You can find Colin and Phil together at Florida Football tailgates, at all corners of the state.
Cole Acevedo
Groomsman
Cole is someone that Amanda can always talk to for hours on end, no matter how much time in between. One of Amanda's hometown best friends, they are two people that can always put a smile on each other's faces.
Emily Starr
Bridesmaid
The Universe knew that Jennifer and Amanda needed a new friend at work, so it gave them Emily! She is absolute light and a cheerleader for her friends. If you ever need someone to justify a purchase of any kind, call Emily. You will probably find her trying to sneak over to the Hemingway House because she heard they have better cats.
Caroline Swift
Bridesmaid
Of the group of cousins in Amanda's family, Caroline is the youngest, even if Amanda sometimes doesn't exactly know how old she is. She came into this world as the life of the party and really hasn't slowed down since.
Madeline Swift
Bridesmaid
One of Amanda's youngest cousins, but also one of the brightest. She is charismatic, she is driven, and she is also a Gator. She and Colin have bonded over their love of the Orange and Blue, while Amanda seethes in the corner (kidding!) Madie will most likely be found wrangling the children at the reception, for which Amanda is so greatly appreciative.
Katie Swift
Bridesmaid
We have a family joke that if anyone is in jail, their call should be to Katie as she is the most likely to answer. Unless it's after 9 pm, then there are no guarantees. She is one of Amanda's most reliable cousins.
Kelsie Swift
Bridesmaid
Of Amanda's cousins, Kelsie ranks among the funniest. Whether it's reminding us of our favorite movie quotes, Facebook memes, or sending hilarious TikToks, she is always making us belly laugh. You'll spot her gorgeous locks from a mile away. It might be said that her hair is so big because it's full of secrets...but that's a joke! No one in this family can keep a secret.
