Squad Goals: Wedding Edition ✨
Angelea Engelmann
Matron of Honor
💐 Meet the Matron of Honor: Angelea (aka Angie) Angelea — or Angie to many of you — has been Haley’s right-hand woman since they met in 2019 at Omni in Scottsdale. Nothing bonds two people quite like surviving Memorial Day during COVID together. Well… that and a completely normal 16-hour road trip featuring Haley as the concert entertainment. (Angie is still recovering.) Since then, they travel whenever they can — preferably somewhere with spa days, champagne bubbles, fabulous shoes, and absolutely no live performances by Haley. Throughout wedding planning, Angie has worked tirelessly to keep Haley calm, organized, and only slightly dramatic — a task that truly deserves recognition. Please be sure to check in on her at the reception. She’s earned that cocktail. 💜🥂
Abigail Bauer
Bridesmaid
✨ Meet the Bridesmaid: Abigail Abigail Bauer — Baby Babs to most — is the youngest Bauer sibling and has been keeping Haley on her toes since day one. Haley was thrilled to meet her baby sister… until she held her and said, “Get this thing off of me.” And just like that, their dynamic was set. From childhood chaos to grown-up milestones, Abby has always been a constant — bringing laughter, energy, and just the right amount of mischief. She’s kept wedding planning fun (and slightly chaotic), and she’ll absolutely be the reason the dance floor never slows down — espresso martini in hand, of course. 🍸✨
Veronica O'Leary
Bridesmaid
💕 Meet the Bridesmaid: Veronica Veronica, the loving and ever-motherly older sister, has always been a built-in protector, cheerleader, and voice of reason in Haley’s life. As the big sister, she naturally stepped into the role of caretaker long ago — offering advice, steady support, and the kind of reassurance only an older sister can give. She has a calming presence that makes everything feel manageable (which has been especially helpful during wedding planning). Her two little ones — our adorable flower girl and ring bearer — make this day even more special, and we’re sure Veronica will be the one making sure they don’t sneak any cake before the reception. From childhood memories to this once-in-a-lifetime moment, having her by Haley’s side is exactly where she’s meant to be. 💜✨
Chantea Coonce
Bridesmaid
☀️ Meet the Bridesmaid: Chantea Chantea met Haley while working together at B&B and quickly became one of her closest friends. Adult friendships aren’t easy, but somehow they always make time — from late-night reels to cocktail hours and everything in between. She inspires Haley to be her best self and has been a steady rock through life’s biggest moments — especially in her relationship with Thomas — keeping her grounded when it matters most. During wedding planning, she’s kept Haley sane, organized, and laughing — and we’re pretty sure she’ll be the one making sure the celebration never loses its sparkle. 💜✨
Diana Nguyen
Bridesmaid
🌸 Meet the Bridesmaid: Diana Diana has been Haley’s best friend since high school, surviving 14 years, countless moves, and more than a few questionable boy decisions. Through it all, she’s been a constant source of laughter, honest advice, and unwavering support. From spontaneous QuikTrip and Chipotle runs to life’s biggest highs and lows, Diana has always been there — and during wedding planning, she’s been a true rock. With her quick wit and infectious laugh, she’s guaranteed to keep the celebration full of joy. 💜✨
Stephanie Grasso
Bridesmaid
🏔️ Meet the Bridesmaid: Stephanie Stephanie and Haley bonded while working together at the Yellowstone Club, and even living across the country hasn’t changed a thing. They may not talk every day, but when it matters most, Stephanie is always there — cheering Haley on through life’s biggest milestones and now wedding planning. Her loyalty, positivity, and constant encouragement have been such a gift. From snowy mountains to wedding chaos, she’s been by Haley’s side — and she’ll definitely be the one reminding her to soak it all in (and grab a celebratory drink). 💜✨
Joey Bombara
Best Man
🤵 Meet the Best Man: Joey Joey isn’t just Thomas’ best friend — he’s his older brother, lifelong role model, and the person who’s seen him through every stage of life. From scraped knees to champagne toasts, Joey has always been right there — leading the way, setting the standard, and keeping Thomas grounded. A man of deep faith and strong character, Joey leads with integrity, humility, and an unwavering relationship with God — qualities Thomas has always admired and looked up to. Having him stand by his side on this day feels exactly right. He isn’t just the Best Man by title — he’s been the best man in Thomas’ life all along. 💙✨
Marcel Engelmann
Groomsman
🕶️ Meet the Groomsman: Marcel Marcel started as Haley’s best friend — but somewhere along the way, he became Thomas’ best friend too. What began as one friendship quickly turned into something even more special: someone who has stood by both of us, equally and wholeheartedly, through every season of our relationship. Unbiased, loyal, and always steady, Marcel has been a constant source of wisdom, laughter, and perspective. As our favorite travel partners (him and his wife — our Matron of Honor), they’re the couple we turn to for everything — the real-life sounding board, adventure crew, and chosen family all in one. Simply put, they’re two of the most important people in our lives, and having Marcel stand beside Thomas on this day means more than we can put into words. 💙✨
Joey Beebe
Groomsman
🔥 Meet the Groomsman: Joey Joey became part of the family when he married Thomas’ younger sister, but he quickly became so much more than just a brother-in-law. He’s the kind of person whose character speaks for itself — genuine, steady, and always showing up with intention. He keeps the energy light, the laughs coming, and the vibes exactly where they need to be. Whether it’s offering support, stepping in when needed, or simply being someone you can count on, Joey is always there. And as an amazing dad and devoted husband, he leads with heart in everything he does. Having him stand beside Thomas is just another reminder of how lucky we are to call him family. 💙✨
John Pierce
Groomsman
💼 Meet the Groomsman: John John and Thomas first met at Volanti and later worked together again at B&B — proof that some friendships are just meant to stick. From coworkers to close friends, their bond has been built on years of shared experiences, long days, and plenty of laughs along the way. John is the kind of friend everyone hopes to have — loyal, dependable, and always exactly where you need him to be. Whether it’s stepping up in big moments or volunteering to care for Misty Bear when we’re out of town (true friendship), he shows up without hesitation. Steady, genuine, and always down to support, John has been a constant in Thomas’ life — and we couldn’t imagine this day without him standing right there beside him. 💙✨
Jonathan Harris
Groomsman
😎 Meet the Groomsman: Jonathan Jonathan first met Haley as a regular at B&B — but what started as small talk quickly turned into a genuine friendship. Somewhere between shifts and shared laughs, he became one of her closest people. So naturally, when Haley and Thomas started dating, Jonathan stepped into protective mode. He had questions. He had opinions. He was watching closely. But it didn’t take long for him to see what Haley saw — and now, plot twist, he and Thomas might talk more than either of them talk to Haley. Loyal, honest, and always keeping it real, Jonathan has been a steady presence in both of our lives. From protector to true friend of the relationship, having him stand by Thomas on this day feels full circle in the best way. 💙✨
