Maid of Honor
Faviana and Maridith met in high school but became close friends in college. After completing their Associate degrees together Faviana took Maridith's advice and moved to Orlando to attend the University of Central Florida without even visiting the school beforehand. A couple years and a lot of fun later, Maridith and Faviana graduated with the same bachelor degrees and continue to work in the psychology field. Maridith is so proud to also share that Faviana who is working on her graduate degree in Puerto Rico. Maridith could not ask for a better Maid of Honor!

Once Matthew and Maridith started dating, the rest was history, and they've been sisters ever since.

After getting married, Jalyn and Colin welcomed two beautiful children, Theodore and Elizabeth, and made Maridith and Matthew their godparents.
