Wedding Party
Ana Sloan
Maid of Honor
Ana and Emma have been best friends since the 1st grade. One interaction perfectly describes the beginning of their friendship: Back in the day, when Emma had a stomach ache but was too shy to tell the teacher, Ana stepped up and said, “Emma needs to go to the clinic.” When the teacher asked, “Can Emma speak for herself?” Ana, without missing a beat, replied, “No,” as if it were the most obvious fact in the world. And honestly, she wasn’t wrong. Their friendship blossomed through countless trips to New Smyrna Beach, and once they got their driver’s licenses, they’d wake up at 4 a.m. on their days off from school to catch the sunrise. Ana knows Emma better than anyone, and their bond has only grown stronger through the years.
Tara Amador
Bridesmaid
Emma met Tara on the first day of nursing school, after nervously praying for a good friend then sitting down right next to her future bestie. From day one, they were inseparable—spending countless hours studying, mastering whiteboards, and staying up late talking about everything under the sun. Tara not only got Emma through nursing school but also supported her through life’s toughest moments. Now, as a proud #PACUPrincess, Tara has graduated from the prestigious Shands Hospital ICU to living her best life in the Florida Keys, where she’s as incredible on the water as she is on the hospital floor.
Caroline Sheehan
Bridesmaid
Caroline is the sister Emma always wanted (and got, thanks to marriage!). Incredibly loyal and supportive, she’s the kind of person who makes sure to check in, even from hours away. No matter the distance, Emma knows she can always count on Caroline, who’s proven time and again that family isn’t just about being related—it’s about showing up.
Casey Hankins
Bridesmaid
Casey was incredibly welcoming to Emma during those first few Beguiristain gatherings and quickly helped Emma feel like family. Her sweet spirit leaves little wonder why Victor's brother David is so crazy about her. A fellow nurse, Casey brings her caring nature to everything she does. Whether dominating at family game nights or showing off their amazing pickleball skills, Emma and Casey always find a way to have a great time together.
David Beguiristain
Best Man
The Best Man is the groom’s brother, a lifelong friend and confidant who has been by his side through every chapter. Growing up in West Palm Beach, their bond was built on countless adventures, soccer and track days, and plenty of sibling mischief. From building forts to playing sports, they learned early on the meaning of having each other's back. As they grew older, their friendship deepened through college years in Gainesville, cheering on the Gators, late-night study sessions, and unforgettable road trips. After college, they continued their journey together, investing in properties and building their lives in Gainesville alongside their better halves, Emma and Casey. The groom is honored to have his brother standing by his side, a testament to the unbreakable love, loyalty, and camaraderie they share.

From their days as high school lifeguards, where they spent summers working under the sun, to hitting the gym and exploring new destinations together, Alex has been a constant in Victor's life. Their friendship is filled with unforgettable memories of travel, adventure, and laughter. They motivate each other to this day to constantly strive for the best in life.

Meeting through a mutual friend group, Alex and Victor immediately recognized they had common interests in professional growth and future goals.

This doctor-detective duo always had each others' back - whether it was out on the town or making tough life decisions together. Lots of great memories made, with more adventures ahead!
