Yolanda & Elena
Wedding Party
Dina Glinskaya
Groomswoman
Dina and Yolie have always had a fun filled and never a dull moment friendship. They have enjoyed lots of partying nights and EDM concerts together as well as watching one another grow and learn in this crazy thing called life. Dina will always be one of her closest friends and the few people Yolie can count on to go on a spur of the moment adventure.
Chelsea Giulio
Best Woman
Chels and Yolie met during Yolie's first week at work. Both were Produce Clerks trying to get promoted into management and as the year went on, they both managed to do that while supporting each other. The time spent together at work transpired into a close friendship outside of work. Several years later, Yolie and Chelsea are still very good friends and have been through the highlights in each other's lives as well as being each other's cheerleaders through the hard times. Chelsea always has had great advice for Yolie and Yolie has always been a great listener for Chelsea. On Yolie's special day, Chelsea will be standing by her side as she marries the love of her life.
Alicia Hunt
Maid of Honor
Elena and Alicia have been best friends for over 20 years. Sharing everything from grade school and beyond. From late night conversations from Thousands of miles away to adventuring through China they have created memories to last forever. When it came to her wedding Elena couldn’t imagine her big day without Alicia by her side.
Christine “Jerzee” Balanza
Maid of Honor
Elena and Jerzee met freshman year of college and have remained the best of friends since. They have seen each other through the angst of college life and adventured through NYC together. Jerzee is one of those fearlessly loyal friends who gives her all, and is the kind of person you could call in the middle of the night and she would be there (literally, she has done it for Elena!). Elena is forever grateful for her love and support.
Katherine Hunt
Bridesmaid
Katherine and Elena met as children as she is Alicia’s older sister but solidified their adoration and love for one another once Elena relocated to NYC in 2011. They have been close ever since, even living together for a time. Katherine is one of those people that manages to lift you up and see the best in yourself and is a fiercely loyal friend. Elena is truly lucky to have her by her side on her big day.
Sladjana Todorovic
Bridesmaid
Sladjana was the first friend Elena made when she moved to Denver in 2016. She has supported Elena through the adjustments to a new city and is always ready and willing to lend her help in any way. She also loves Elena and Yolie’s fur babies as if they were her own. Elena is so excited to have Sladjana stand by her on her big day!
Brittany Olin
Groomswoman
Brittany and Yolie both come from the world of produce managers and thus how they met. A work friendship turned into hanging out outside of work and an eventful trip to Las Vegas one summer for a Life is Beautiful concert. During that time, Yolie found it easy to hang with Brittany because they made everything fun, goofy and yes always tried new food together. Till this day these three things ring very true! Brittany has expressed her excitement from the start when Yolie began seeing Elena and couldn't be happier to be apart of such a special day.
Odessa Madakacherry
Groomswoman
Odessa has had a major imprint on Yolie's life. She's the practical friend who keeps Yolie "centered " when she needs it😊 Odessa has been a big early supporter of Yolie's and Elena's relationship. Bbq during 4th of July or going over to Odessa's place for lunch/dinner is always a fun time! She's the "godmother" to their adopted kitten Kiki and owe it to her for the wonderful addition to their family.
