Laura & Cade
Wedding Party
Sharon Goebeler
Matron of Honor
Big sis and Mother-hen to the bride, as well as one of Laura's biggest rolemodels. A sassy mouth with a heart of gold, and a momma of three. She can do anything, don't mess with her. ;)
Chris Halle
Best Man
The one and only brother of the Groom. Always there for Cade to offer sage advice in all things life or help keep Cade's ego in check. Ain't nobody's got Cade's back like his brother Chris. Retired air-force pilot, also like Matron of Honor not to be messed with.
Kara Carter
Bridesmaid
Cousin and BFF to the Bride, and Queen of Sass. Kara and Laura (being the same age) grew up together, and attended the same school Pre-K to Senior year of High School. Basically the girl version of the Bash Brothers from Mighty Ducks I would say?
Matthew Hayden
Groomsman
Matthew (Math to those close to him) is Laura's older brother and soon-to-be brother-in-law to Cade. Nobody will be able to miss him at the wedding because he is 6'8 and thinks he is the Michael Jackson of all dance floors (at least the way the Bride sees it anyway *queue eyeroll*). If he is found acting up in anyway please send the flower girls after him to keep him in line!
Jessica Taglieri
Bridesmaid
Jessica, or should I say Yessica is Laura's eldest cousin and older sister to Kara Carter. Jessica is the OG of the Original 7 (1st generation of cousin's before a major age gap). She is always making sure the OG Seven are on their game and looking like bosses.
Claire Mckenna
Bridesmaid
Claire is one of Laura's oldest childhood friends. They attended the same school from Kindergarten to Senior year of High School. Claire has an amazing and witty sense of humor, a perfect example of that was when she dressed up as Lord Voldemort for a high school Harry Potter themed dance (white swimming cap and all). BTW the bride went to this same dance as Dumbledore (full white beard and all!).
Jesse Curtis
Groomsman
Jesse will also be officiating the ceremony for the couple! Jesse is one of Cade's best friends who lives in Charleston, SC. In fact, Jesse and Cade are literally the definition of a bromance. Both Laura and Jaclynne (Jesse's wife) constantly joke that Cade and Jesse call one another on the phone more than they do their significant others. Laura and Jaclynne have accepted this defeat.
Marisa Mondschein
Bridesmaid
Marisa is one of Laura's past co-workers made into best friends. True story Laura would not have survived the trenches of teaching during a pandemic without Marisa and vice-versa! You can often find Marisa and Laura sending voice-notes back and forth (pissing off both Cade and Marisa's soon to be husband, Joey, in the process). But YOLO voice-notes are so much easier than texting right?
Chase Edgren
Groomsman
Chase is one of Cade's best buddies and past co-workers in Charleston. These two, when together, are often found out-at-sea on a nice day, just trying to catch some dinner to bring home to the family! They do a great job of it too, fresh fish for dayssss.
Chanel Mouton
Bridesmaid
Chanel is Laura's older and wiser best friend from Cape Town, South Africa! They originally met working one summer at Sandy Hill Camp (a sleep away camp in North East, MD). Chanel came to hang out the first weekend off at Laura's parent's house and the two immediately became besties. Chanel has become an extended sister to the bride, and a forever family member to the Hayden Household.
Rudy Apidi
Bridesman
Rudy is one of Laura's dearest and funniest friends, who Laura also met at Sandy Hill Camp. Although Rudy lives in Nairobi, Kenya, Rudy and Laura still keep a close friendship. Rudy is known as Laura's Kenyan brother, and he looks out for her as any brother would. Laura looks out for him as a brother too! He is also a rockstar on the dance floor, especially to the song "Wobble" so ladies if you were smart you'd make sure to bust-a-move with him if you get the chance!
Nick McCarty
Groomsman
Nick is one of Cade's oldest friends from Texas. They first met as coworkers working as EMS partners and since then have become great friends. Despite being on opposite sides of the country, they still find time to catch up during a quick game of COD.
Hayden, Cecilia, and Henley
Flower Girl
The role of the Flower Girl or should I say Flower Girls could only be filled by Laura's three incredible nieces (although by the time of the wedding there will be four nieces in total). These gals each have their own spunk/personality about them, and are rockstars on the dance floor!
