Bridal Party

Amy Yakomin (Martins In Progress)
Amy Yakomin (Martins In Progress) - Bride
Amy can best be described as a fabulous shining star (and yes I am writing this myself, what about it?) She is the middle child amongst her two sisters, Christina and Cathy, which means she’s just mildly a terror. Amy currently works as a Marketing Specialist and Graphic Designer in the pet industry and loves sharing the unique opportunities that comes with it. PLEASE ask Amy about her cats (children), Duncan and Bean, her favorite baked good recipes, and the best drinks to order at Starbucks.
Christina Yakomin Hornbaker
Christina Yakomin Hornbaker - Matron of Honor
Christina is Amy’s older sister and the two have know each other for Amy’s entire life. Being born less than two years apart, Christina and Amy were always close. The two sisters have bonded over Pokemon, taking amazing photos of each other during family vacations, and Amy inevitably saying something ridiculous that causes Christina to cry laughing at the dinner table. Christina is currently living in Pennsylvania and works at Vanguard as a Senior Cloud Architect. As Christina anything about her cats Milo and Misty, Pokemon/Gaming, and her next travel destination!
Cathy Yakomin
Cathy Yakomin - Maid of Honor
Cathy is Amy’s younger sister and have known each other for Cathy’s entire life. Even though they butted heads as kids, the two sisters have grown closer than ever in adulthood. Cathy and Amy bonded over their shared love for anime, 2000’s pop-punk music, and re-watching the same 3 Barbie movies every time they get together. Cathy currently lives in Pennsylvania and works for Vanguard in the Technology Leadership Program. Ask Cathy anything about her cat Eevee, streaming Pokemon on Twitch (and having multiple sponsors??), and her digital artwork!
Ashley Martins
Ashley Martins - Bridesmaid
Ashley is the most recent addition to the Mrs. Martins crew, and Amy’s future sister-in-law! The two women met not long after Amy and Dane started dating and quickly bonded over a mutual love for cats, coffee, and plants. Ashley currently lives in Maryland with her husband, Justin Martins, Dane’s twin brother, and works in Accounting. Ask Ashley about her cats, Brent and Luigi, what it’s like hiking Mount Washington 4 times (she’s a BEAST), and her current book recommendations!
Melissa Wahler
Melissa Wahler - Bridesmaid
Melissa is Amy’s closest friend from high school. The two girls first bonded when they shared a room during their school’s summer trip to England, Ireland, and Wales. However, their friendship really began to blossom when they reconnected after freshman year of college, meeting up for coffee and bonding over various shared experiences. Melissa currently lives in New Jersey and works as a professional wedding photographer, co-owner of Sava Weddings (shameless plug for the bestie!) Ask Melissa anything about photography, her tattoos, and what music she’s listening to lately!

Groom's Party

Justin Martins
Justin Martins - Best Man
Justin is Dane's twin brother. The two grew up side-by-side, even sharing a room until they were 14 years old. While in school, Dane and Justin played Lacrosse and ran XC together. Although Justin was [slightly] better at the two sports, Dane's got the upper hand in their new competitive sport, Golf (Justin, 5 irons don't work well getting out of greenside bunkers, buddy). Justin now lives in Maryland, with his wife, Ashley, who is in the bridal party!
Brendan Martins
Brendan Martins - Best Man
Brendan is the youngest of the three Martins brothers. Surely, it wasn't easy growing up with two older twin brothers, but all three are the best friends anyone could ask for. Brendan and Dane share love for mountain biking, cats, and cooking. Brendan is an Audio Engineer. Ask him about his time touring with Phish, his current music recommendations, or the new family cat, Dewey!
Keegan Cerwinski
Keegan Cerwinski - Groomsman
Keegan is one of Dane's best friends. They became friends in 2019, but the two grew much closer when they were roommates living in Bloomfield, NJ. Today, they are go-to golf partners on the course, but also on video games. Keegan lives in Jersey City, NJ, with his Fiancée, Courtney. Ask him about his time wrestling for NC State, his two dogs Hudson and Monte, his wedding in August, or the best pizza spots in Jersey City
Jon Clark
Jon Clark - Groomsman
Jon is one of Dane's best friends. Jon, Dane, and Justin have known each other since kindergarten. Jon is known for making us all laugh and being amazing at sports (Golf, Basketball, and Baseball). Jon is also a go-to golf buddy of Dane's. Jon just finished his Master's degree at the University of Virginia, and is a teacher! He is also a proud UConn Alumni. Ask him about teaching, golf, or UConn basketball!
