Our Wedding

Our shared love of music brought us to Orlando in November 2021 for a weekend of festival fun. Although we were invited separately, we met through mutual friends and immediately hit it off. We talked and talked and never stopped. Eventually Anthony moved from Miami to Tampa where we began our life together in 2022. We’ve since become devoted dachshund parents to Rose, bought a house, and are still avid festival goers and music lovers. We can’t wait to celebrate this commitment of our love with you all soon.Love,Courtney, Anthony, &amp; Rose

How we Met

How it Happened 🥂

Christy is the ultimate hype woman and the literal architect of vibes. She and the bride hit it off at a music festival the same weekend the bride met Anthony—a sisterhood that was officially sealed when Courtney accidentally dropped some unfiltered commentary on Anthony’s flirting game, not realizing Christy and Anthony were close friends! (LOL) From decorations to dance floors, Christy is the one making sure everything is fun and perfectly celebrated!

Ais is a festival soulmate who became a true soul-sister over the years. While Court & Ais met during that life-changing festival weekend, their bond was forged when they realized they were the two logical anchors in a sea of life chaos. Whether they are swapping high-fantasy novels, grinding through their respective Master’s programs, or mutually agreeing that 10:00 PM is the ultimate bedtime, Ais is the grounded, ethereal voice of reason who ensures the bride stays sane while looking effortlessly cool.

Cousins by blood but "twins" by choice, Emily and the bride spent their entire childhood successfully convincing the world they were the same person. The commitment to the bit was so legendary that Emily’s high school sweetheart (now her husband!) famously escorted both "twins" as his dates to Senior Prom. After years of sharing matching outfits and standing by Emily’s side for her own big day, the bride is thrilled to have her "other half" back in the lineup to bring her pro-level bridesmaid wisdom and that signature twin magic to the altar.

Don’t let the 4'11" stature fool you—Jennessy is the undisputed firecracker of the family and is officially in charge. As Anthony’s sister, she has spent years perfecting the art of butting heads with him, making her the ultimate authority to keep the groomsmen in line. She brings a fierce loyalty and a high-energy "boss" mentality to the bridal party that ensures everything—and everyone—stays exactly on track.

Jennessy

As the baby of the family, Jeilany is an inquisitive soul with a great head on her shoulders and a perspective far beyond her years. She and Anthony share an incredibly close bond built on a foundation of mirrored humor and shared creative talents. A gifted makeup artist, Jeilany is the secret weapon of the bridal party, ensuring the bride stays looking flawless from the first photo to the last dance.

The intentional and detail-oriented heart of the bridal party, Madison brings a powerhouse mix of marketing expertise and master planning skills to the group. As a seasoned wedding veteran herself, she has an unmatched eye for the small, crafty touches that take an event from a party to an experience. While others are focused on the playlist, Madison is the one behind the scenes ensuring every detail is executed with professional precision. Having stood by her for her own wedding, the bride is honored to have Madison’s strategic mind and creative genius back in the lineup to help bring the big day to life.

The bride’s brother and the man currently leading the family in passport stamps. Infamous for being a noncommittal world traveler, Jonah is far more than just a guy with a suitcase; he is the group’s resident big thinker and analytical mind. Whether he’s dissecting a complex global issue or calculating his next move from a remote corner of the map, he approaches life with a signature curiosity and a sharp, strategic edge. While he’s spent years mastering the single bachelor life across different continents, we’re mostly just impressed he’s finally committed to a specific date and zip code. Jonah brings a global perspective and a thoughtful, adventurous energy to stand by his sister on her biggest journey yet.

The resident fashionista of the group, Sebastian brings an effortless editorial edge to everything he touches. A talented photographer and producer, who recently traded the Miami heat for the moody Chicago skyline, he has an eye for aesthetic perfection that keeps the entire group looking sharp. Sebastian is the kind of friend who doesn’t just show up to the party; he curates it— from his sophisticated style to his creative soul, Sebastian ensures that Anthony’s childhood crew maintains a level of "cool" that only a true artist can provide.

The group’s gym bro with a heart of gold, Javi is the definition of a ride or die friend. Another legendary find from Court & Anthony’s festival days, he pairs an impeccable sense of style with a natural talent for bringing laughter to any room he walks into. Beyond the jokes and the sharp outfits, Javi is the most constant and consistent friend you could ask for—and as the life partner to Ais, he completes one of the couple’s favorite duos, bringing a signature blend of loyalty, humor, and high-energy vibes that ensures the celebration stays as steady as it is fun.

Javi

A cornerstone of Anthony’s childhood, Andrew has been there for every era, every phase, and every questionable decision since they were kids. For years, he was the group’s "notoriously single" representative—the one man you could always count on to keep the bachelor flag flying high. He has officially retired his jersey now that he’s in a happy relationship, but he remains the quintessential childhood friend who holds all the "receipts" from their younger days. Whether he’s reminiscing about the old neighborhood or celebrating this new chapter, Andrew brings a sense of history and heart to the wedding party that only a lifelong brother can.

Andrew

Diego is the personification of loyalty and discipline. A Marine and a Police Officer by trade, he’s spent his life keeping others safe, but he’s happiest far away from the party scene—ideally under the hood of a car or dreaming of his future alpaca farm. A true animal lover with a gentle soul beneath the uniform, Diego brings a grounded, calm maturity to the wedding party that only a lifelong brother can. Their bond is a two-way street of unwavering support; Anthony proudly served as the Best Man in Diego’s wedding, and now the roles are reversed as they celebrate this next chapter.

Diego

Every group needs a wild card, and Chris is the undisputed champion of the role. As an ER nurse who thrives in high-pressure environments, he is at his best when things are moving at a million miles an hour. Having first crossed paths with Anthony in the high-energy chaos of a music festival, Chris has been bringing that same relentless intensity to the friendship ever since. He doesn't just handle a fast-paced environment; he welcomes it, navigating the wedding day with the same professional precision he uses in the ER—only with much better music. Chris is the ultimate "hype man," bringing a sense of unpredictable fun and a tireless spirit that ensures the momentum never slows down until the very last song.

Wedding Party

Our wedding is hosted entirely outdoors at the beautiful garden venue of Hummingbird Gardens. We request all guests dress formally, with florals and pops of color encouraged, but of course not required. I would not recommend ladies to wear stiletto heels as there are moments of walking on grass or brick. Opt for a wedge or chunky heel instead.
