The one who taught Amanda everything she knows. Amanda feels incredibly blessed to have a father who has shown her the most love and support since the day she was born when he claims to have "picked her from his nose." Amanda, Pieter’s favorite and only daughter, has been the luckiest girl to know unconditional love and to be raised by the strongest, most loving man. From teaching her to ride a bike and attending every musical and chorus concert to now walking her down the aisle. Pieter has been Amanda’s north star, encyclopedia, and biggest champion. His wisdom, patience, and love have shaped who Amanda is today, and she couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without him holding her hand, just as he has been every step of the way. As Amanda marries Stephen, she finds herself drawn to so many of the same qualities she admires in her father. Stephen shares Pieter's sense of humor, his unwavering capacity for unconditional love, and his endless patience and kindness. Amanda is grateful to be stepping into this next chapter with a partner who reflects the same traits she learned first from her father.

Stephen has always admired his dad, Stephen, for his hard work, wisdom, and unshakable values. Growing up, when Stephen would look to his father for advice, he remembers him saying, “If one man can do it, so can another…” That saying has been a guiding force in Stephen’s life, encouraging him to push forward, work hard, and never give up. Stephen's father has not only been a source of motivation, but he’s also instilled in his son a deep sense of responsibility, a love for the outdoors and a love for family. Stephen’s favorite memories are trips to camp with his father in snow, rain, and sunny days, climbing mountains, and building their family cabin. Amanda and Stephen cherish trips to Red River P with his parents and are the reason they have also fallen in love with the Adirondacks, thanks to the work of Stephen's parents.

Edith, a seasoned actor and director, is the source of Amanda's flair for theatrics, creativity, passion for life, and her keen eye for antiques. Edith played a central role in raising Amanda, becoming a second mother, and creating countless memories each summer in Maryland. Adventures with her alongside her brother Tyler, from indulging in crabs covered in Old Bay on the Chesapeake to swinging on the porch swing during thunderstorms, these moments shaped Amanda's childhood. Alongside her late husband, Frederick Granberg, who passed in 2017, Edith provided Amanda with a second home on Howard Court, where a flag always waved out front, and music filled the kitchen. It's always been there that Amanda envisions when she thinks of “home.” Edith is not only one of the funniest and most vibrant people Amanda knows, but she’s also the first person Amanda turns to for news, a comforting conversation, or a much-needed laugh. Her grandmother's unwavering love and support have been invaluable throughout Amanda’s life, and Amanda strives to always make her proud, carrying forward the legacy of joy, creativity, and strength that Edith instilled in her.

Tiffany (yes, the T-Phini) is the undisputed life of every party. Tiffany has always been the person Amanda looks to for advice, an ear when needed most, and, above all else, laughs. Tiffany, a boat captain and outdoor educator by day, tour guide of the Chesapeake and karaoke master by night — a trip down to aunt Tiffany’s house in Annapolis is always one to remember. From teaching her how to catch crabs for dinner and how to ride a horse as a little girl to drinking orange crushes bayside as an adult, Amanda has always found that zest for life she is looking for in her aunt Tiffany. Tiffany has shown Stephen and Amanda so much love and is always a source of encouragement, laughter, and happiness.
