Wedding Party
Danielle Babineau
Maid of Honor
Danielle is the beloved sister of the bride (even though four-year-old Haley wanted to send Danielle back to the hospital soon after she was born). Nowadays, Danielle makes Haley laugh until they're both crying, always supports Haley in getting a sweet treat, and effortlessly harmonizes with Haley's off-key singing. She knows Haley so well that she can finish most of her sentences. They're the best of friends. Danielle is off to graduate school to become a school counselor. She constantly inspires Haley with her work ethic, creativity, and empathy. Danielle has always been by Haley's side and selflessly supports Haley through everything. Haley couldn't imagine life without her sister!
Lindsey Thomas
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and Haley grew up together. As the older cousins, they discovered the fun that came with the power they had over their siblings, a.k.a. the younger cousins. Through the years summers were filled with hours of pool time, ripstik-ing, and computer games at Poppy's house. Haley values how Lindsey cherishes family time and the support she always has from her cousin. Currently, Lindsey works as a biomedical engineer and is mom to two crazy pups. She is getting married this June! Fun fact: Haley and Lindsey were born two months apart and are getting married two months from each other!
Susan Eschelbach-Broderick
Bridesmaid
Susan is brilliant and has almost every hidden talent you could imagine (including pickling her homegrown cucumbers and painting the most beautiful cards). She recently earned her Master's Degree from USC and works as a human-centered design engineer. Haley met Susan when they both needed connection in the post-college era. Susan is a giver in every way. She is always learning, growing, and inspiring others. Haley is so grateful for her friendship.
Ashia Schafer
Bridesmaid
Ashia has been part of Haley's life since high school. From senior prom to being first year teachers, Haley and Ashia have shared many seasons together. Their "exceptional" baking, neighborhood walks, and story times highlight their time together. Ashia has video proof of some of Haley's crazy moments and can tell you the day and time of any event. As a fellow teacher, Ashia provides much needed connection, encouragement, and laughter from her hilarious, and often wild, TK students. Haley values Ashia's loyalty and how she always makes Haley feel part of the family.
PJ Jackson
Bridesmaid
PJ is the truest of friends, the one who is always there and cares for others deeply. Haley met PJ in high school where they bonded over music and a very interesting physics class. PJ is passionate and determined; she is one of the strongest people Haley knows. In her day to day life, PJ works way too much and is preparing to leave Haley for the Pacific Northwest. Haley doesn't blame her but will miss her terribly!
Sean Mattila
Best Man
Sean is the older brother of the groom. As the youngest, Spencer took the blame for the sins of his brother. From playing Goldeneye on the Nintendo-64 to now playing with the stock market, their bond has grown over the years. Sean is currently working in the finance field. Spencer still looks up to his older brother to this day because of how hard working, driven, and motivated he is.
Christian Lammers
Groomsman
Christian and Spencer have one of those rare friendships that began in kindergarten and lasted through the years. Even after they went their own ways in college, they still would meet almost every Tuesday for tacos. Today, Christian is making dental products. They're still diehard Lakers fans and talk about how they would fix the team all the time. Spencer truly appreciates how genuine Christian is and their long lasting friendship!
Adam Vandervort
Groomsman
While Adam is Spencer's brother-in-law, he's also much more than that. They've become great friends, which is weird because Adam is not a basketball player! They talk stocks, sports, and all things about life. Adam currently works for the O.C. Sheriff's Department and you can find him crushing the stock market or in the gym in his free time.
JJ Lawrence
Groomsman
JJ and Spencer met in college after having countless classes together. Despite JJ claiming that Spencer "stole" his extra credit, their friendship continues to grow. Over the last few years, they've bouldered in Death Valley, climbed a mountain, and won a basketball championship (which led to JJ's retirement). JJ currently lives in San Diego and works in the insurance field. Spencer appreciates how genuine JJ is and his care for the people around him.
